The big elephant is one of the best
ring performers, but he has always
been steady in the street parade, with
to the edge of town and stopped to let
the rear wagons close up, and were in
front of a saloon, where the bartender
had been emptying stale beer out of
the bottoms of kegs into a washtub,
which was standing on the sidewalk,
ready to be sold to people who buy it
in pals.
Well, sir, that COMPOUNDED elephant
got his trunk in that tub of stale beer,
and he never took it out till the beer
was all gone. l looked down from the
pagoda and told pa the elephant was
drinking again. and had drank wash
tub of beer. but pa couldn't say any,
thing, cause he was doing the Arab
sheik act, and had to look dignified, as
though he was praying to Allah.
But just then the band struck up,
and we started down the main street
of Steubenville. The people began
to cheer, cause our elephant began to
hippity-hop, and waltz sideways
across the street and back again, and
l thought pa would die. In the parade
one man on a horse attends to the ele-
plants, so the sheiks don't have any
thing to say. and pa remained like a
statue, and told me and the Circassian
beauties to be calm, and trust in him
and Allah. This Allah business was
all right when the elephant waltzed,
but when we got to the next block the
beast began to stand ON his hind feet

resents that he is at disadvantage in

retains his Russian name. He says
there is at present much prejudice in
the United States against Russians.
He also states that he wishes effect

The retirement of Secretary Hitchcock
from the Interior Department vas not at
all unexpected. He has held the pn-
sition for eight years, ever since his re-
turn from Russia where he Was American
Ambassador. He has worked very hard
in the Department and it was not his
fault that there have been more unsayory
scandals in connection with Land Office
matters during his administration than
have ever been discovered before in the
incumbency Of one Secretary. Mr..
Hitchcock has not been an approachable
man while in the Department aud there
is question whether any Secretary could
retire from the Cabinet with more
hearty approval from the newspaper cor
respondents who were thrown III contact
with him. One contact of this sort was
usually sufficient for any Of them. Atthe
same time nobody las ever questioned
the fact that be was absolutely hutlestaAd
tremendously bard worker and it Las
been due in all probability tothis honesty
that SO many Of the land frauds that have
been cryptic for almost generation have
been uncovered and prosecuted. His
successor in Office, Jimmy" Garfield,
will have the distinction OF being the
youngest Cabinet officer under President
Roosevelt, and one Of the youngest that
has eyersat at the Cabinet table. Next
to him in point Of youth, comes Postmas-
ter General CQrtelyou. Mr. Garfield is
rich IN lis own right aud is one Of
the corterie OF young men, includ-
ing A. W. Cooley, Assistant Secretary
Lawrence Murray and Clifford Pinchol
who are very close personally to the.
President and who constitute lie famous
Lawn-tennis Board, that is supposed to
aid him In his political deliberations.
MIR. Garfield has been commissioner Of
Corporations and has not made any SER
ions mistakes during his administration,
and his course as a Cabinet member will
be watched with considerable interest by

OF all Of tile changes that have been made.
The Cabinet changes that were elsted
from the White House week or more
ago have now been succeeded by the an
n6uncemeI.t that Secretary Hitchcock
will retire, Attorney General Moody will
be given a place on the Supreme Bench
Vice Associate Justice Brown and that
Jimmy Garfield will enter the Cabinet
as the Secretary Of the Interior. Iiladdi-
ton to this, Sir Henry Mortimer Duraad,
tile British Ambassador will retire. Ills
successor has not yet been named, but dur

bassy viii be appointed ia the person Of
e. w. Howard, until recently British
Consul General at Crete. The chances
are that tie British Ambassador will
be succeeded by Lord Cursor, whose
wife, Miss Mary Letter Of Washington,
died only few weeks ago. Lord Cuiz1n

resulted in his resignation because he was
not willing to allow General Kitchener

India to run the whole Of the Indian En-
pire without regard to the civil admins
tration. Lord Curzon is known in this
country, OF course, principally as the hus-
band OF Mary Letter. 1t would be an in
justice, however. to a very able man to
deny him any other title to fame. He
was Under Secretary to the Foreign Office
during Lord Saulisbury's premiership
and has Travelled all over Asia and has
written three very able books on Asiatic
travels and the Central Asian question.
He is rich in Ills own right and was made
richer through his American marriage.
He has led a particularly clean personal
existence and furnishes one Of the few

not make mistake in marrying foreign
nobIeman. After his return to England

Clinque Ports as an indication that the
