CAUGHT FROM The CURRENT.
GATHERED HIT AND MISS =: ::
HERE AND THERE :::: -, /:

Fred Arrowsmith of Ingram, is a
young man of physical and mental Wig
or, red headed, snappy eyed, has a
temper all his own and is of English
blood, so | won't say anything very
bad about him. In fact think Fred is
a good fellow, and / don't care who
knows it. He is farmer who farms
and, | may add, justice of the peace
with individual ideas of justice. His
ideas appear to run as ideas should to
a fellow who wants fair play on all
sides. / don't attribute this to the
color of his hair or the English blood
but rather to the physical and mental
vigor.
But, to get to the point, Mr.. Arrow
smith, in his capacity as justice of the
peace, has occasion to be sort of col
lector of board bills and other obliga-
tions to which, in the minds of some,
distance lends enchantment to the
view" Now Fred, as justice of the
peace, has the power to send these fell
lows to the county jail, but that
wouldn' pay the board bill and it would
cost the county many sacks of silver in
the course of time. 1t would be like
robbing both Peter and Paul and pay
ing no one.
So the practical Arrowsmith con-
ceived the idea of suspending sentence
and allowing the fellows to work out
their board bills, or whatever the bills
may be, and the scheme works like
charm. Every time the prisoner is
relieved at finding that he doesn't have
to go to jail. So Paul gets MS pay and
Peter isn't robbed at ALL Now, what
is the matter with that proposition?
1t is my humble opinion that there is
more horse-sense in this scheme handl-
ing cases of the kind than in any other,
and the beauty of it is that it pleases
everyone connected with the matter.
So would advise all the towns to elect
justices whose appearance indicate
vigor of body and mind, fellows who
have ideas of their own, and if possible
red headed English-Americans

BABY ELEPHANTS GO ON STRIKE,
Rush for Barnum & Bailey Tickets Results
in Little Riot.

The baby elephants of the Barnum & Bailey
Circus went on strike at Madison Square Garden
Yesterday morning. Coco a popular little elephant
that was brought over from Singapore last year
was the unconscious cause Of the trouble. Coco
caught a severe cold during the march from the
Mott Haven yards TO the Garden on Saturday night
and had to be separated from the rest Of the herd
Shortly before o'clock William Mooney, one Of
the elephant trainers, started with several as
sstants to take the baby elephants up 10 the Hip
podrome track TO practise their act. Their corral
is in the menagerie department in the basement.
and long runway leads up to the track. The elt-
plants followed the trainer dutifully enough until
they reached the runway, but there they stopped,
and neither coaXing nor prodding could make them
bulge.
Surprising that they were afraid the runway
insecure, Mooney ordered one Of his men 10 un-
Of the old elephants, and take her up the unway.
This was done, but It had effect on the babies.
other one TOOK up the shrill note and presently the
elephant department was in a tumut.
The pig elephants were all securely chained but
tne oaDles were fTee, and without ceremony they
all turned and back to their corral. Several
other experiments were tried to induce them go
upstairs. but without success. Then some one
fortunately thought Of Coco Coco had been train
ing with the other babies all winter the theory
was suggested that probably the other elephants

herd and then led toward the runway The Others
unhesltaIhgy followed, and no further difficulty
