on the warpath. They had got up in
the morning to milk the cows and
found about 20 elephants in the barn
yard, making the COWS do song and
dance. Pa told them there was no dan

elephant by the tail and snap it's head
off, like boys snap the heads off garter
snakes, and I told them that me and
the senator's boy stampeded the ele-
plants and we could drive them back
to town like drove of sheep.
The farmers thought we were great
and they followed us back to the farm,
where we found the herd of elephants
had taken possession and were having
the time of their lives. About dozen
of the big elephants had found couple
of barrels of cider in a shed and had
been drinking it, and when we got
there they were like section hands with
jags on.
Bolivar, the big elephant, was the
drunkest, and when he saw pa coming
with the gang of hands, with ropes and
spears, he winked at the other ele-
plants and seemed to say: watch

gate and beloved, and made charge
at the gang, and pa beat them all go

Office are small and long in coming.
Dowry giving and taking has remained

We are able, better to appreciate the
extenuating circumstances after read
ing the baroness words, but there cas-
lily comes a limit to our good nature;
and we avow nothing but scorn for
such brazen fortune hunting as that
followed by Boni Castellane-his title
being a dubious one, we'll not be par
ticular about naming it, every time
we make reference to the ''bad Boni"
of that indulgent family over in
France. How did this needy gentle
man pursue his profession when in
America on his fortune hunt, what
were his assets? Under the latter we
may list the aforementioned dubious
title, carefully selected clothes, un-
limited nerve. introduced to Newport,
he at once looked the field over, with
precipitation made known his search
for the golden girl. But not all the
golden girls approved the precipita-
ton; they called him "Powderpuff, =

emily he met with success. After a
brief courtship, he married Jay
Gould's daughter; returned to France
with a bride, possessor Of an estate
valued at $17,000,000.
In America it is the wife that is
expected to be extravaganza. In Europe
the husband. And this makes a great
deal of the trouble; the American girl
thinks she has undisputed right to
spend her own; the titled husband is
sure he. as head of the family and rep
resentatfve of the rank, has undisputed
right to spend munifcently. The bar
oness tells us German wives economic

bands spend.

The queerest thing happened that
night. The senator's boy spoke of our
trained seals, that catch fish if you
throw it to them and swallow it whole.
He said it would be fun to take a lit

and set the alarm at seven o'clock p.

seals swallow fish, and throw it to the

MY FATHERS HYMN BOOK.

Faded and torn, the covers old.
The book my father used to hold
With reverent Tnien so long ago.
The children clustered, ali aglow,
For now the singing hour had come,
Dear to each heart in that sweet home.
The youngest sat, a babe, apart,
Clasped warmly to the mothers heart,
Yet lifting up those clear, gray eyes
QIong flied with light in paraoise)
Yte adding then, with happy face,
Her sweet voice, right In time and place.
We sang ION Jordan's Stormy Banks
And where, in blooming, stately ranks,
Heavens fairest fragrant flowers grow,
Untouched by time or frost, the glow
Upon my fathers face, when we
Sang of that land ye an should see.
We sang MY Soul, Be on Thy Guard"
And then were gently told to ward,
With constant watch. the foes we meet;
Then, when my righteous Judge shall
come
TO call His ransomed children home"
Then last we sang Of Home, Sweet Home,
All when shall we too thlther come?
The questions answered, one by one.
The singers laid their armor down,
Even to the babe whose heavenly eyes
Have smiled so long in paradise.
And we who stay ESQ small a bandD
Are gathering upon the strand,
Full pilgrim worn, but still the cheer
And courage from those hymns so dear,
The memory of those singing hours,
Have toned and strengthened all our pow
erS.
And often when depressed and sad.
Faint far-off voices, sweet and glad,
In dim recesses of the soul,
Sing softly from the undying scroll
That memory keeps hid deep away,
Immortal transcript OF each day.

number Of transplanted Americans.
We will keep to patent facts and fig
ures. Some statistician has been at
work and tells us that no less than
43 great American heiresses and 100
lesser heiresses have mated with titled
foreigners in the last 25 years, that
the loss to America has amounted to
scores of maidens and some two hun
dred millions of dollars. Put to us
this way, it quite takes our breath
away; it is stupendous.
Let us name some names and dots,
some recent and earlier marriages.
The duchess of Roxburghe, born May
Goelet took her husband the neat sum
of $25,000,000. The fortune of Con-
suello Vanderbilt, now duchess of
Marlborough, was $10,0OO,000. Bar
oness Halkett, born Sarah Phelps
Stokes, belonged in the multi-million-
aire class, her fortune equal to that
of Consuelo Vanderbilt. The Letter
girls-Lady Curzon, the countess of
Suffolk, and Mrs. Colin-Campbell--

fortune of $5,000,0OO. That other
American duchess consuelo, Duchess
of Manchester daughter of Signor An

in her day was accounted rich with a
fortune of $1,000,000. Princess Col

arrive at the average amount Of hap
plness. This author, referring to the
number of American girls that have
married into conspicuous noble fam.
lilies abroad, emphasizes the fact that
few have been divorced, and asks:
ITO how many can you point who
came black to America to live, or who
took an American husband for new
adventure?"
But the writer just quoted had spe-
cial reference to British unions. Let
us now turn our attention to other
titled foreigners. Have you ever heard
that American fathers are more mig
gardly in yielding family fortunes to
daughters making alliances with no.
bility than rich plebian fathers in Ger.
many? And have you ever heard why
the German noblemen are wont to pre-
fer the less-richly lowered American
girl? An American girl welded to a
foreign nobleman, Baroness Won We
dell, tells us with the CONTINGENCIES
of a judicial oversever: Unless a ma
tive German girl without rank has
genteel relations who are possessed of
landed property or military titles, a
nobleman loses caste by union with
her. His descends from the aristocrat-
ic sets IN towns to the financial or
mixed set. or is excluded from his
class altogether. So it is just these
men who aim to avoid such descent,
who retain their self-respect, and
mean to sustain their family traditions
intact, that resist the temptation Of
great native plebian dowries to take
up with the smaller dowries Of Amer
lean girls. Though having no class
ification at home, republicans are re-
ceived into any class abroad. No man
sacrifices his caste by marriage with
an American" Long live the Ameri-
can republic!
The fortune-hunter exists both in
America and Europe, perhaps il we
will lean for a moment to the philo-
sophie attitude we may be willing to
grant that there is more excuse for
the latter. The baroness whom we
have quoted above, says, in defense Of
the non-mercenary foreigners that
have made marriages with Americans,
and also to incline the reader to believe
in the existence of extenuating circum-
stancs for those looking for dowried
brides, says: cit is a false prejudice
to suppose that the titled gentlemen
are mere fortune hunters and degen-
Grated specimens of nobility. They are

Suppose that seal had swallowed that

might kill him. Now, go to the car,
