Elephants Good workers.

Any one who thinks the elephant
slow, clumsy beast would have cause
to change his opinion on seeing him
Mt work along the river of northern
Siam. The rainy season, which be
gins in April, is the time when the
teak logs, cut during the dry season in
the forests about the upper waters of
the Menam River. are tioated down
to Rahang, where they are caught and
RATED to Bangkok. Instead of red
shirted. spike-shoed river drivers
such as handle the logs in their down
stream journey TO the sawmills on the
Penobscot and Kennebec in Maine,
the Misunderstanding" of the Siamesa
rivers is done by barefooted. half
naked men on elephants. and the
bone" labor and much of the think
ing involved in the operation are doue
oy the elephants.-St. Nicholas.

Vacation on the Farm.

He visited the dear old farm,
Where in his bOyhood days
The weather never was too warm
Or cOld-to win his praise.
And now he didn't do thing
But mop. or fan and sroan,
Or say. in accents blithering:
This heat would melt a stone,'
lie longed when in the city pent
To drink from the old we'll;
Tin dipper in his hand, he went
They heard dismal ye.
The windlass that he loved to turn
Had hit him s1ch crack,
He saw million planes burn
In the old we.', alack.
The water had brack sh taste;
Twas not the fluid cold
He used to drink with fev'rish haste
In the dear days of old.
He heard the frogs in croaking greet
Their friend of other years
And wonders why their music sweet
To him SO changed appears.
He didn't find the treat at night
OF mosquito smudge.
i jolly climax of delight.
If he was any judge.
And. tossing on il feather bed,
That like blister stuck.
He wildly rolled his troubled head
And blamed his measly luck.
But now he's home. as Moses meek.
His skin a solid tan:
Great freckles on his robust cheek.
He's quite a different man.
The burrs are sticking to his heels.
The truth he does not finch.
But says the farm to him appeals
As a vaca ton cinch.

KILLED BY A BOMB.
Russian Minister Won Plehve the
Victim OF Assassination.

NJ. Fon Plehve, Russian minister OF the
interior, was assassinated at $3.50 Thurs
day morning by means OF a bomb thrown
az his carriage while he was driving TO the
Baltic station TO take train for the palace
at Peterhof, where he was 10 make his
weekly report TO the Emperor.
The assassin stood on the sidewalk just
as Minister Won Plehves carriage was
about to cross the canal bridge near the
station. The minister was escorted by
a number Of detectives on bicycles, and
one Of them jostled the assassin, who
then rushed INTO the road and threw
the bomb after the carriage. The missile
struck the hind wheel and exploded with
fearful force. Minister Won Plehve and
his coachman were killed outright and
an officer OF the guard was fatally injured.
One of the cyclist detectives arrested the
assassin, young man believed 10 be a
Finn named Leglo, who endeavored to
escape though wounded by splinters in
the face, arm and abdomen. He made
no attempt at resistance, however, when
seized by the detective, and confessed
his crime, but refused to give his name.
The police Immediately after the ex-
plOsiOn arrested a suspicious individual
who took refuge in a hotel opposite the
scene Of the tragedy. He carried a bomb
similar 10 that thrown by Leglo. As
soou as the police saw the homb they
5tdtAtiEls bAA an tll lpAONtH Vi AUE uDktl
rushed up behind the accomplice and
pinned his arms.
The explosive is believed to have been
composed Of pyroxylin, as il gave of
little smoke. The force of the explosion
was 50 terrific that it not only broke
every window within a radius of half
mile, but reduced the heavy paving stones
TO powder, heayed up the pavement and
flung a heavy piece OF the iron work Of
the carriage across the canal, severing
the thick mast Of a barge, which fell,
stunning the captain OF the barge. Every
body in the street was knocked down and
more or less bruised.
Won Plehve was the most reaetionary
and oppressive OF the czar's advisers.
He was generally held responsible for
the curtailment Of Finnish liberty and
for the Kishenef massacre Of Jews. He
was cordially hated, and BIS assassination
was expected, even BY himself.
Plehve's funeral Sunday was imposing.
The ezar walked for a time behind the

PaekersI strke and cthers.

The strike Of butchers and allied unions
employed by the meat packing concerns Of
Chicago and other western cities is still on,
but has apparently weakened considerably.
Though not many OF the strikers have re-
turned TO work, their places are being rap
idly flied by non-union men. ana the
packers are able to operate their works,
though not at full capacity as yet. The
packers say that they will not take back
the strikers except as individuals. An
appeal has been made to President Roose-
welt to settle the trouble, as ne did the coal
strike, but it is unlikely that he will take
a hand. He has sent a representative to
Chicago 10 study the situation from an
economical standpoint. The big cotton
strike at Fall River shows no sign Of abate-
ment. The Building Trades alliance, a
union organization of New York city, has
declared a strike against the Fuller Con-
structlon company. 1t affects several Of
the largest buildings.

ISozim must hang. The jury in the case
retired at 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and soon reached an agreement as to the
guilt of Rozum, but 1abored until q
o'clock this morning before agreeing on
the penalty to be imposed. For some
time they stood seven to FIVE in favor
of the extreme penalty as some members
of the jury seemed averse to inficting
the extreme penalty. Finally the con-
sideration of the cold blooded attack of
Rozum OIL his victim led all to vote for
hanging. -.
Rozum killed Lewis Starrnan at Pisek
a few weeks ago. Starn1an was employ
ed in livery barn and Rozum con.
Quoted blind pig. They quarrelled and
separated. Some time afterwards Rozum
