Too SPORTY For GATEs,-The night
before the Frick committee presented
its report to the Equitable directors
party of the warmest sports In wall
street gathered about the Waldorf-As-
toria to discuss stocks, horses and af-
fairs In general. Before long the
Equitable muddle was brought up. says
the New York Press. A broker, who
often is employed by Mr. Frick and
the Pittsburg steel crowd In their stock
market deals, ventured the opinion
that the committees report would ex-
onerate Hyde.
Not on your North American tin
type" said John w. Gates as he tap
ped the bell and motioned for the
waiter to refill the glasses.
would you like to bet anything on
it?" asked the broker.
We'll" replied Mr.. Gates, Il read
in one Of the papers today that I lost
S5,0O0,O00 in wheat. I'll have to pinch
my bets for a while. If you're real
modest, however. l might be induced
to go you just once"
"Tll tell you what I'll do" said the
broker. "Tll just bet you so cents"
"You are too sporty for me and I'll
have to pass 1t up" replied the great
plunger. You surely must know
something"
Everybody laughed for 1t was the
6rst tIroa np record that John w.
Gates had refused to bet.

complainant in tan years has been
Prof. woodward. He was not q typi-
cal victim anyway. He grew suspi-
cious long before the transaction with
the grafters was closed and 80 tied
them up with guarantees and promises
that they were scared into giving him
his money back when he threatened
them.
The gang has permanent headquar-
ters in the horse mart district. 1t is
stable where they keep the broken
down brutes which they use for the
harvesting of their graft. They have
all the paraphernalia necessary for the
working Of the swindle and they keep
1t in pretty active use.
In this season, when many families
are moving into the country, they are
very active and have two or three
plants working at once. The police
know the headquarters and know the
crooks-but there are no complainants.

Elephants lumberinq.

"The elephants round us were drag
ging the logs to the mill to be sawn.
They were harnessed for this with a
broad breastband and heavy chains. A
native looped the chains round the
logs, and the elephant started off with
them and deposited them on the troll
ley. Others were picking up the sawn
planks with their trunks and carrying
them across the yard to be piled.
"a mahout sat on the neck Of every
elephant, and IL the animal picked up
too small a plank the mahout would
hint, with his iron spike, that two
might go to that load. Then grunting,
the elephant would pick up the second,
with infinite delicacy Of balance, turn,
march over, and deposit them beside
the pile, always returning for another
load so long as there were any planks
ready. When there were none he would
take his ease in the sun, and wait. Or
perhaps there were heavy logs to be
pushed from one place to another; and
IL pushing would do, with his trunk
curled against the log, no elephant
would give himself the trouble Of pick
ing it up, any more than housemaid
will pick up a chair on casters.
More fascinating 1t was than I can
tell to see the jungle patriarch kneel
down to a heavy log, twist his trunk
round it, place it on the top Of the pile,
and then calculate its position, and
push and pull until it was square in
its place. The oldest, because the
most reasonable thing, was to see the
elephant, pushing against the end Of a
very heavy log, stretching out one hind
leg to give himself balance and pur-
chase. That seemed to bring him some
how, very near to us, he was not only
doing our work, but he was doing 1t
in our way.
presently, with one accord, all the
elephants dropped work and moved in
the direction Of the sheds.
THAT means it's II o'clock" said the
foreman. Dinner hour. Not for King
Edward himself could we get them to
do a stroke of work from now till 8.
It's their off time. At 3 they begin
again. and work till dusk, and they
start about 6 in the morning, but they
don't understand overtime."-PallM Mall
Magazine.

IMAGINARY wAR.-The imaginary
man lay imaglnarily gasping beside an
imaginary gun that was still imagina-
rily hot from a theoretical shot fired
at a supposed foe, says the Baltimore
American.
Apparently kurrying to his imagina-
ry side to relieve his theoretical wound
from the mathematically possible gun
on board q hypothetical battleship, an
impalpable physician knelt beside him
on the Intangible grass and felt his
atmospheric pulse with ozonoid fin
gers.
Shaking his non-existent head the
fictitious physician said:
There is nothing in my imaginary
dill box that can help him. II the hot
air boat that supposedly fired this un-
real shot had been standing where II
Is supposed to have been located (hav-
ing theoretically outwitted the absent
guard that Is imaginarily stationed
around this entrance to the haroor)
and II this man had been standing
where he is alphabetically certain tc
have been, beside this ethereal gun
the Intangible bullet would have pass
ed directly through his undiscoverable
heart, and sent him to a nameless
grave"
Saying which unspoken words the
theoretical physician bowed his mill
tarily- possible head and wept scienti'
fically- feasible tears.
