TO the invitation OF the congress to
communities, TO attend the conven-
ton, is the number OF favorable re-
plies from districts and cities distant
from river. or deep-sea ports. In
dianapolis Is a case in point Mayor
Bookwalter OF that city, with a big
delegation. is coming to attend the
session. Indianapolis is a railroad
city, essentially, but It realizes that
the. development of water transpor-
tatlon Is certain 10 have the effect of
reducing rail freight rates over
Wide areas. For instance. Mayor
Bookwalter knows that IL the Ohio
river is developed as a channel of
commerce II will force the railroads
at Indianapolis TO reduce rates on
many commodities, although the riv-
er does not come Into immediate
competition with the Indianapolis
trafiic u the railroads did not re-
duce their rates. the industries af-
fected would move out Of their terri
tory. deserving Indianapolis for Gin
lcinnau or some manufacturing
point on the river and thus the
Transportation companies and the
capital of Indiana would be losers.
This fact has been a difficult matter
to drive home TO communities not
situated on the inland rivers, but
now Il evidently has been accepted.
The great strength of the movement
for an annual appropriation OF $780,

oil and rammed it down with nail-hammer. It.
was the fror1age, all right And say! Ever see an
elephant grin and look tickled and try say thank
you? The way he talked deaf and dumb with his
trunk and shook hands with and patted us on the
back was almost as human the way acts
when the jury brings in Not guilty" Inside of
three minutes Rajah that kinky he tried to
do double-shufle and nearly wrecked the barn.
1t made feel good too, and stood around
there and threw bouquets at ourselves for what
we'd done.
Then the cook out and wanted to know
should she keep right on boiling them eggs take
'en off; so we remembers about breakfast. Calm
for a deal on the eggs sent out word for
EN- to fix up tub of hot mash for Rajah and told
the landlord to give friend the best in the
stable.
Rajah was fetchin' the bottom of the tub when
went out to say good-by. He stretched his
trunk out after went through the door
We'd climbed into the and just gettin
under way when we hears things smash, and looks
back to Rajah, with section of the stable
floor draggin' behind coming after us on the
galop.
Beat it" says l to Goggles, and he was reachin'
for the speed lever when he sees town constable,
with a tin badge like stove-ld, pull brass watch
us.
What's the limit ?" shouts Pinckney
Ten hour ten dollars, says he.
Here's your ten and COSTS says Pnckney,

tossing him a sawbuck. Go ahead Francois "
We jumped into that village ordinance at a forty
mile hour clip and would have had Rajah hull
down in about two minutes, but Pinckney had to
take one last look The poor old mutt had quit
after few jumps, He had squat in the middle of the
road. lifted up his trombone frontispiece and was
belowin out his grief like a calf that has lost its
mommer. Pinckney couldn't stand for that for
minute.
L say now we'll have to go back" says he.
That wall would haunt for days if didn't"
So back we goes to Rajah, and he almost stands
on his head, he's SO glad to again.
Wen just have to slip away without his knowing
it next time" says Pinckney Perhaps he will
get over his gratitude in an hour or So"
We unhitches Rajah from the stable floor and
starts back for the hotel. The landlord met
halfway.
Don't you bring that critter near my place
ag'in!" shouts he. Take him away before he tears
the house down"
An no jollyin' green money would change
that hayseed's mind. The whole population was
with him too, While were jawin' about it, along
comes the town marshal with some kind of injunction
warnin us to remove Rajah, the same bein' a
to life and property.
There want nothing for it but to sneak We
moves out of that burg at half speed, with old
RaJah paddn close behind, his trunk restin affec-
tionately on the tonneau-b back and kind of salts
fed right-to-home look in them little eyes of his.

Made me feel like pair of yellow shoes at dance,
but Pinckney seemed to think there was something
funny about it. And over the hills and far away
the happy Princess followed him, as Tennyson
puts it, says he.
Tennyson dead onto his job" says l.
But when do annex the steam calliope and
the boys in red coats with banners? We ought to
have the rest of the grand forenoon parade else
shake Rajah."
Oh, perhaps we find quarters for him in
the next town, where he hasn't disgraced himself"
says Pinckney.
Pincl<ney hadn't counted on the telephone,
though, posse with shot-guns and bench-war-
rants met mile out from the next place and
shooed us away They'd heard that Rajah was
man-kiler and they had brought along a pound
of arsenic to feed him After they'd been coaxed
from behind their barricade though, and had seen
what gentle, confdin' beast Rajah really was,
they compromised by letting us take a road that
led into the next county.
This is gettin' sultry," says I as we goes on the
sde-track.
Il am enjoying it" says Pinckney. Now let's
have some road work"
Say, you ought to have seen that procession.
First comes and Pinckney in running gear;
then Rajah, hoofng along at heels, as joyous
as chowder party; and after him Goggles with the
benzine wagon. Seems to me I've heard yarns
about how grateful dumb beasts cold be to folks
that had done EN- a good turn, but Raah's act
made them tales seem like sarsaparilla ads He was

out for beggarly week such a magnificent
specimen. Why, Rajah good real estate
or Government bonds. As for selling him, ten
thousand wouldn't be a temptation. Would the
gentlemen just step around to the stable?
1t then began to put up the odds on Pinck-
ney l got wink from them black eyes of his,
and there the very divil an all in EN-, with
his face as straight a crowbar
Certainly" says he, well be happy to meet
Rajah."
They had him moored to one of the floor beams
with an ox-chain around his nigh hind foot. He
wasn't as big as ali out doors, nor he wasn't any
vest-pocket edition either. As elephants go, he
wouldn't have made the welrer-weight class by
about a ton. He what I'd call just a handy
size, about two bureaus high by wide. His ivry
stoop rails had been sawed off close to his jaw, so
he didn't look any more wicked than foldin' bed
And his eyes didn't have that shfty wait-till- get
loose look they generally does. They were kind
of soft, widowy, oh-rne-poo -cheld eyes.
He is sad, very sad, about all this" says one
of the real gents Know? Rajah knows almost
much we do, sir
Pnckney took his word for it. q think I shall
accommodate you with that loan, says he. Come
into the hotel"
Say didn't think you could gold-brick Pincllney
easy that. One of the guys wrote out receipt
and Pincl1ney showed it into his pocket, handn
wad of yellow-backs They didn't lose any
time about headin' southeast, those two in the
ulsterets. Then goes back to have another
look att aiah

At breakfast Plnckney remarks sort of soOthin
We might well enjoy Rajah's society while we
have it. l suppose those circus men will be after
him in a few days"
Then he remembers that receipt and pulls it out
l could see something was queer by the way he
screwed up his mouth He losses the paper over to
me. Say! do you know what them two usteret
guys had done? They'd given Pnckney a bill of
sale, maxim over all rights, privileges and good
will entire.
You're it." says l.
SO it seems, says Pinckney. But l hardly
know whether I've got Rajah Rajahs got me. J"
If | owned something | didn't want" says L,
seems to me I'd sell it. There must be other
come-ons."
We will sell him. says Pnckney.
Well we tried. For three or four days we ddn t
do anything else; and say, when | think of them
days they seem like a mince-pie dream We did
handsomest to make those Nutmeggers believe
that they needed Rajah in their business, that he
would be handy to have around the place. But they
couldn't it. We argued with about fifty horny
handed plow- pushers shown EN- how Rajah
could pull more'n a string of oxen block long
and could be let out for stump-digging in summer,
a snow-plough in winter. We tried livery
men, storekeepers, cottagers; but the
nearest we came to making a sale was to brewer
who'd just built a house with red and yellow
fancy woodwork all the front of it. He hought

shingle-mill by spells and then again in the chair
factory, did odd jobs. A blond haired native
turned up who was sure the Doc had gone hog
KILN up to the corners. So goes back to the
stable.
I've found out" says Pinckney It's tooth

the professor see. Up, up!"

top half of his face to give me private view. We

Good" says Pinckney. We passed one down

They kept grndstones and stove-polsh and dress

in one corner.

chOck full OF gratitude.
He was nutty over it.
Seemed like he couldn't
think of anything else
but that wholesale tooth
ache of his and how he'd
got shut of it. He just
adopted us on the spot.
Whenever we stopped he'd
hang around and look us
over, kind of admirin',
and we couldn't move a
step but he was there,
flappin' his big ears and
swingin' his trunk, just as
though he was sayin':
Whoope-e-e, me fe1lers!
You're the real persim-
mons, you are.
We couldn't find a
hotel where they'd take
us in that night, SO we
had to bride a farmer to
let us use his spare bed
rooms. We tethered Rajah
to a big apple-tree just
under our windows to keep
him quiet, and let him
browse on a Rose of
Sharon bush. He only
ripped off the rain pipe
and trod a flower-bed as
hard as a paved court.

Then he winks, so l

But Rajah didn't seem so
gladstone He was rockin'
his head back and forth,
and just as we gets there
out rolls a big tear, about
a LQ1l DleTIuI.
Cant we do something
to chirk him up a bit?"
says I. He seems to
take it hard, being hung
up on a ticket -
There's something the
matter with this elephant, -
says Pinckney, taking a
front view of him. He's in
pain. See if you can't find
