FABLE OF THE PANSY.
The Family of Six That Is Contain ed
In the Flower.

The Family of Six That Is Contain ed
In the Flower.
A pretty fable about the pansy Is
current among French and German
children. The flower has Ave petals
and five sepals. In most pansies, espa
cially of the earlier and less highly do.
velOped varieties, two Of the petals are
plain in color and three are gay. The
two plain petals have single sepal,
two Of the gay petals have sepal
each, and the third, which Is the lar
gest Of all. has two sepals.
The fable Is that the pansy represents
a family consisting OF husband and
wife and four daughters, two Of the
latter being stepchildren of the wife
The plain petals are the stepchildren,
with only one chair; the two small,
gay petals are the daughters, with n
chair each, and the large, gay petal
is the wife, with two chairs.
To find the father one must strip
away the petals until the stamens and
pistils are bare. They have fanciful
resemblance to an old man, with Il
flannel wrap about his neck, his sbuul-
ders upraised and his feet in bath
tub. The story is probably of French
origin, because the French call the
pansy the stepmother.

THE YELLED PROPHET.
He Was the Most Noted Impostor o
the Middle Ages.

He Was the Most Noted Impostor of
the Middle Ages.
The celebrated "velled prophet" OF
history was Moslem fanatic whose
real name was Haken Ibn Hashem.
He was born about the middle of the
eighth century and became the most
noted impostor Of the middle ages. He
pretended that he was an embodiment
Of the spirit Of the Giving God" and,
being very proficient in jugglery (Which
the ignorant mistook for the power to
work miracles), soon drew an immense
number of followers around him. He
always wore gold mask, claiming
that he did so to protect the mortals OF
this earth, who, he said, could not look
upon his face and live.
At last, after thousands had quilted
the city and even left the employ OF
the Callph al Mohdi to join the fanst.
ical movement, an army was sent
against the "veiled prophet" forcing
him to fee for safety to the castle nj
Keh, north Of the OXus. Finally, when
ultimate defeat was certain, the
prophet killed and burned his whole
family and then threw himself into the
flames, being entirely consumed except
his hair, which was kept in a museum
at Bagdad until the time of the cru
sades. He promised his faithful fol
lowers that he would reappear to them
in the future dressed in white and rid
ing white horse.

GIRL ELEPHANT TRAINER.

John z. Rogers in st. Nicholas
One of the most interesting animal
trainers and one of the most interest
ing trained animals in the whole
world, probably, are Hattie Snyder,
fourteen-year-old schoolgirl, and HAT
tie" a three-year-old Ceylon elephant.
Hattie Snyder's father is William
Snyder, who has been a keeper of the
menagerie in Central Park, New York,
for more than twenty years.
Whether Hattie the elephant pre-
fers life in Ceylon to life in New York
is uncertain, though she appears to be
perfectly contented. Mr.. Snyder, who
has wide knowledge of elephants,
affirms that Hattie is the most intelli-
gent and most amiable elephant he
ever saw. She spends most of her
time in a cage, about twenty feet
square, in the elephant house in the
Central Park Zoo. The front of the
cage is open except for strong iron
bars, and about three feet in front of
it is a railing which prevents the
group of interested spectators that
are always present from getting too
close. In the back of the cage is a
door which opens into a courtyard,
and through this door Mr.. Snyder
passes when he feeds the elephant, as
does Hattie Snyder when she visits
her namesake; the elephant also uses
this door whenever he goes into the
outer world for exercise.
Hattie Snyder lives with her father
and mother about ten minutes walk
from the Zoo. She attends the public
school, and although she always
stands we'll in her class and is partic-
ularly studious, she inherits her ia
theirs love of animals and prefers to
study them rather than her textbooks.
When the two-year-old elephant came
to New York Hattie Snyder at once
made friends with her and soon began
to teach her tricks.

Are the PackersReceiving Fair Play?

Are the PackersReCeivingF Fair Play?
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in tnat exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the Beef Investiga ton"
arose were without foundation. II the
official statements of the report are
susceptible Of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfoulded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article In
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
'forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de-
partment Of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list Of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculat1on
and by reckless banking methods. 1t
may be we'll to suspend Judgment up
on the packers until the charges
against them are proved.

"Are you sure you had locomotor
ataxia?"
'sThe doctors themselves told me so.
Besides I recognized the symptoms"
What were they?"
"Well, the first indications were a
stiffness about the knee joints that came
on about four years ago. A few months
after that appeared, my walk got to be
uncertain, shaky-like. I lost confidence
in my power to control the movements
of my legs. Once, when I was in the
cellar, I started to pick up two scuttles
of coal, and my legs gave way suddenly,
and tumbled all in heap in basket.
I couldn't close my eyes and keep my
balance to save my life. Then [ had
fearful pains over my whole body and I
lost control over my kidneys and my
bowels

Sometimes was so weak that I had
to keep my bed and my weight fell off

bad for me until ran across a young
man who had been cured by DR.. Will

try them"
"Did these pills help you right away"
''I didn't see much improvement un.
til had used six boxes. The first bene-
fit I noticed was better circulation and
a picking up in strength and weight. l
gradually got confidence in my ability
to direct the movements of my legs, and
in the course of seven or eight months
all the troubles had disappeared.
