How a Projected Revolution Was FL
anced with "PhOny" Money.
'STha ways of the South American
republics are funny" exclaimed an old
globe trotter, glancing up from the copy
of the Evening Star, which contained
the advices from New York setting
forth the efforts of certain Spanish
American gentlemen to get the United
States to buy stock in h revolutionary
movement in Venezuela.
Those people are plumb crazy on
the subject of revolutions. They seem
to think they can repair all sorts of
damaged fortunes through the medium
of an uprising, and maybe they don't
work at it. And that reminds me of
a revolution once had the pleasure of
being introduced to, which, though it
didn't revolute so as you could see 1t
very plainly, still, was started on the
best possible basis. The men in charge
of this affair were aiming to get con-
troll Of the treasury and territory of
one of the Central American States,

the bottom Of any of those sudden
transfers Of power in our sister repub-
lics-money. Either one or the other
side has too much and the losing side
promptly starts out to get what 1t be-
lieves is coming to it. That is what
was done this time, but on a basis far
more sensible than usual. The insur-
gent element did not have money
enough to start business. and, after
much Hopping around to find ways and
means, hit upon an ingenious scheme
that came very near wrecking the home

and began the manufacture of spurious
coin. The money was stamped with the
trimmings put on coins by the regular
government and thousands of dollars
worth of the counterfeits were fioated
before the proper authorities got next
to the source Of supply. BY that time
the credit of the existing government
was almost wrecked, so much of the
phony money had been foated. The
plant being in the United States, the
United States secret service officers
were called upon to ferret it out, and
they lost no time in locating it and
bringing to justice the principal often
ders. Nothing much was done to the
revolutionists, though the breaking up

sAGAclTY OF THE ELEPHANT.
Animal Can Easily Be Taught TO
Work-Training Them.

"Ork-Ira1n1nB Inem.
Sagacity seems strong word to ap-
ply to an elephant, but certainly the
tales of those who best know the beast
would justify the term. 1t is said that
the elephants In India will besmear
themselves with mud as a protection
against insects, and that they will
break branches from the trees and use
them to brush away the flies. If this
Is true it shows something beyond in
stinct in the elephant-it shows reflec-
ton, says the New York Herald.
1t is surprising how simple is the
training of a newly captured elephant
and how soon the animal can be taught
to work. For the first three DAYS,
which Is usually the time before they
will eat freely, the elephant is left
quiet with perhaps tame animal near
him to give him confidence in his sur
roundings. If there be many to be
tanned at the same time each captive
Is stalled between the tanned ones as
soon as he eats his food naturally.
When this stage Of training is reached
the tanner and his assistants station
themselves one on each of the four
sides with long pointed sticks in their
hands. A tame elephant also assists
In case he Is needed. The men at the
sides rub the animals back, soothing
him with such epithets as "Ho, nv
son." "Ho, my father" "Ho, my moth
err" which seem to have calming ef-
feet. The next step is to take the ami
NAL to the tank to battle, which is ac-
complished at first with the aid of
tame elephants. After a time he can
be taken alone, but as the process OF
tanning depends upon the indiyIdua,
disposition of the beast the time of pre-
limlnary training differs.
A newly tanned elephant is first put
Mt the task Of treading clay in brick
field or drawing a wagon in double har-
ness with a tanned elephant. But the
place where 1t shows the greatest
amount Of sagaclty is in moving heavy
weights. For, unlike the horse n
seems to comprehend the purpose and
object Of Its work and executes yariou,

A bust of George Whitefeld, who was
second only to the Wesleys in the
Methodist revival, has been erected in
the Whitefeld Church in London. The
occasion was the hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the church; Whitefeld
laid the corner stone of the original
building. Whitefield visited America
seven times and converted hundreds Of
people. He was buried in Newbury-
port Massachusetts. One Of the most
interesting parts of the story of his
work in America Is the account of
Franklin's friendship for him. Frank
lin fatty disagreed with his religious
teachings, but admired him heartily,
calling him marvellous preacher"
Franklin's invitation to Whitefield TO
stay at Franklin's house while he
preached in Philadelphia Is an excel
lent little essay on the possibility Of
affection between men of different be-
liefs.

The unanimity OF the vote In the
House of Representatives upon the con-
ference report on the Statehood bill and
zens of the new commonwealth reflect
in measure the general satisfaction
of the people OF the United States. For
it has been evident for several years
that nothing but political expediency
could justify the barring longer Of the
claims for Statehood which Oklahoma
clearly had to present. The new com
monwealth has approximately 100000
population. 1t will be entitled to five
representatives In the lower House. 1t
has great wealth of many kinds; Its
future Is bright with promise. Indeed,
looking back after the fact upon the
States which have been admitted since
1860 no instance is to be found Of Il
State having at the time Of its admis-
sion anywhere nearly so strong a claim
as that of Oklahoma. The long famil-
lar term Indian Territory" passes out
of history, an incident Of much inter-
est, too, for it will not be forgotten
that the Indians were induced to move
to that part of the country to get them
out of the Southern States, where they
had become a hindrance to the settlers
who wished the splendid cotton lands
of the red men. The arguments made
to induce them to leave the homes Of
their fathers and the burial places Of
their dead make strange reading just
now. In way they illustrate the diff
culties which confront craftsmanship In
country where the possibilities Of the
future are SO nearly unlimited. No
one in the '30s apparently had any idea
that the Indian lands would ever be
wanted as part of State. Indeed, q
treaty made in 1928, which placed some
of the Indians in what afterwards be-
came known officially as the Indian
Territory, actually promised the people
permanent home that shall never In
all the future time be embarrassed by
having extended around 1t or placed
over it the jurisdiction Of any territory
or State, nor be pressed upon by the
extension in any way of any of the
limits of any existing Territory ol
State" That probably seemed pretty
safe pledge in 1923; it is ditferen
proposition in 1906. The ast State ad
mitted to the Union was Utah. which
has been the forty-tifth on the list fol
ten years. Oklahoma makes the forty
sixth. The suggestion that 1t will hav'
more power in the House and in th'
electoral college, at least SO far a
votes are concerned, than sixteen olde
commonwealths indicates its relativ
Importance and also clearly shows tha
it is fully ready for Statehood Its ad
mission will be hailed with pleasure b.
the entire nation, and its development
will be watched with keen interest

A medical scientist with turn for
sociology and figures has tabulated an
estimate showing that in dollars and
cents man is worth to society at the
age of 21 years S4,363.S3 and at 20 only
S171S. The calculation would be more
interesting If we knew whether the
medical mathematician took into ac-
count the very large proportion of men
who are not worth a cent to anybody
from birth to burial. That factor would
obviously enter heavily into the caicu-
lations.

School boards of three Western cities

School boards of three Western cities
are reported to have made it require
ment that every pupil who enters the
high school shall be able to repeat the
words of patriotic songs, "The Star
Spangled Banner" America" and
Hail, Columbia" 1t is a deplorable
fact that few audiences are able to
sing all the stanzas Of America" :"
Questions Of patriotism aside, 1t seems
part of necessary common knowledge
to have at heart the words of the ma
tional songs, Just as the ordinary citi-
zen ought to know some other common
poems. General culture demands it,
and patriotism is at least not opposed
to general culture.
