Fearless.
American and European visitors to
India are always amazed by the fear
lessness Of wild animals throughout
that country, Nowhere else IN the
world do they trust and disregard man
Kind SO thoroughly Herds OF deer,

This remarkable tameness Is due to
the fact that the Hindoos have never
cared for hunting. Most animals are
sacred to them, aud practically all AMI

patrimony on coming of age into nu-
tapering, pink nailed fingers. The 9TH

handle it or she would have weighted
her toes with them, too, Harding de-
clared in disgust when he saw her in

ably fixed, but it was only by careful
financiering and good management that
mother and daughter could live in the
comparative luxury they did, Mrs.
Rives spoiled Madeline as only a dot

save Harding, took a hand at spelling
Madeline. She was SO very lovely and
so irresistibly sweet despite the selfish
ness Harding SO greatly deplored.
Harding was hurt. He ignored the
jeweled fingers and strobe angrily to-
ward her mother, who was approach

comfortable veranda. Madeline's smile
was enigmatical as she gazed at the
big, broad shouldered figure towering
above her mother and openly disdain-
full at his whispered command on leav-
ing.
Don't tell your mother. She's un-
selfish enough to care"
Mrs. Rives looked at Madeline disap-
provingly as Harding tramped angrily
down the long walk.

A remarkably intelligent elephant
working a few years ago on a new
bridge in Ceylon had young one to
which she was devoted. 1t died, and
she became inconsolable.
Formerly the gentlest of creatures,
she grew irritable and even dangerous.
One morning she broke the chain
which confined her and escaped into
the forest.
One night about ten days after her
escape the officer who had been in
charge of her went out to lie in wait
for bears at a pond in jungle at
some distance.
AS he and his native attendant were
returning early in the morning the ma
tive silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim gray light an elephant
with her calf making their way toward
the camp. They both sprang behind
trees, and when the elephants had
passed the native insisted that the old
err one was their old friend the incon-
solable mother.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had returned and
had gone from one person to another
touching each with her trunk, as if ex-
hibiting her adopted child, which she
had evidently begged, borrowed or
stolen in her absence.
Her good temper and usual dOcility
owner
blessed the good fortune which had
enabled her to procure baby ele-
plant.

The dainty girl has learned that il
not only adds to her own self-respect
and pleases her friends for her to
dress tastefully and becomingly. but
that it actually pays from a financial
point of view, as clothes that are well
cared for will last tiwce ais long as
chose that are carelessly treated By
being careful with her clothes the
girl who is dainty and neat is enabled
to buy many little extras to replenish
her wardrobe, and she manages al.
ways to be nicely dressed, though she
may have but small dress allowance
Neglected clothing is always unattrac.
tive and repulsing, and hats and

Honor for Shoemaker-Poet.

1t is not every shoemaker who has
a tablet erected to his memory. Rob-
ert Bloomfield was cobbler in Shelf
ford, Eng, something less than CEN
fury ago. When business was dull
he wrote verse, and now his admirers
have placed tablet, in honor of him,
in conspicuous place at Shefford.

the literary folk of England short
while ago. Bloomield's best poem
was 1.-THE Farmers Boy" which he
wrote in his little garnet shop. Speak
ing of his Rural Tales" critic says
that the ladies Of the first part Of the
last century found in them IAN amia-

and a virtious rectitude of sentiment
which charmed them immensely"
