PAUL TO BE HEARD FROM.

The other evening the Rev. Mr..
Philacter sat down at the tea table
with very thoughtful air, and at
tended to the wants of his brood in n
very abstracted manner. Presently he
looked up at his wife and said,
"The Apostle Paul.
Got an awful lump on the head
safternoon," broke in the pastors
eldest son, playing baseball. Bar
flew out of the strikers hand when
was umpire, and cracked me right
above the ear. Hurt? Golly!" and
the lad shook his head in dismal but
expressive pantomime as he tenderly
rubbed the lump that looked like n
billiard ball with hair on it. The pas
tor gravely paused for the Interrupt
ton, and resumed:
1.-The Apostle Paul"
"Saw Mrs. O'Gheminie down at
Greenhaum's this afternoon" said his
eldest daughter, addressing her moth
er. "She had the same old everlast-
ing black silk, made over with a vest
of tilleule green silk, coat-tail basque
pattern, overskirt made with diagonal
folds in front edged with deep fringe;
yellow straw hat with black velvet
facing inside the brim, and pale blue
flowers. She's going to Chicago"
The good minister waited patiently,
and then in tones just a shade louder
than before, said:
"The Apostle Paul
went in swimmin' last night with
Ben and Henry, pop, an stepped on
clam she'll" exclaimed his youngest
son; "cut my feet so l can't wear my
shoe; and please, may I stay home
tomorrow"
The pastor informed his son that he
might stay away from the river and
then resumed his topic. He said:
! "The Apostle Paul says"
my teacher is an awful liar,
shouted the second son; "he says the
world is as round as an orange, and
it turns round all the time faster than
| a circus man can ride. l guess he
amt got much sense"
The mother lifted a warning finger
toward the boy and said, "Shv' and
the father resumed:
THE Apostle Paul says
Don't bite off twice as much as yor
can chew" broke out the eldest son
reproving the assault of his little
brother on a piece of cake. The pas
tors face showed Just a trifle annoy
ance, as he said in very firm, decided
tones:
"The Apostle Paul says"
There's fly in the butter!" shrek
ed the youngest hopeful of the family
and a general laugh followed. Wher
silence was again restored, the eldes
daughter, with an air of curiosity
said.
"Well. but pa, really would like
to know what the Apostle Paul said
! pass me the mustard" said the
| pastor absently.
Then the committee rose and the
senate went into executive session and
soon after adjourned.-Burlington

BABY ELEPHANTS PRANK
Played a Trick On Its Mother and
Aroused the Maternal Wrath.

Elephants dearly love a joke.
When engaged in the timber trade
in Burma I observed some queer
pranks played by them, says an
English traveller. On one occasion
l saw a baby elephant play a most
ludicrous trick on its mother. The
older animal was hauling a log,
which fifty coolies could not have
moved, from a river to the saw
mills, quite unconscious of any
guile in the bosom of her offspring.
The youngster took a turn with
his trunk round one of the chain
traces and pulled back with all his
might. This additional weight
caused the mother to stop and look
behind her; but, on discovering the
the cause, she gravely shook her
head and prepared to resume her
task of drawing the log to the mill.
This was just what the little imp
expected, and before the strain
was put on again he kicked out
the iron hook which fastened the
log chain to the log. As the
mother again began to pull he held
back with all his strength on the
chain until her muscles were in full
play and then suddenly let go.
The effect was disastrous in the
extreme. Down went the old
elephant on her knees, and her
driver described a most graceful
and prolonged curve before he
landed on the ground. But, like
a cat, he struck on his feet, 2and,
hurting out some heavy Burmese
EXPLANATIONS of wrath, he whispered
a few words in the ear of the
victim of this unfliai prac-
tical joke. She seemed to under
stand him at once, and there ensued |
one of the most exciting chases it J
