UNCLE SAM SOLVES ELEPHANT PROBLEM.

A novel plan has been found by treasury off,
cials to save the government the cost of feeding
four healthy elephants several times daily during
the next four months. When the officials, in en-
forcing the law against undervaluation were COM
PEELED to confiscate the four elephants owned by
Snowman named Thompson, the problem of feed
confscated goods presented itself. It was solved
by permitting Thompson to give bond for the safe
return of the animals. He was permitted to take
the animals the road and the officials are hop

woman,s Inventive Genius.


II IS not true that woman lacks
creative genius. In fact. the inven-
tive talent is marked in woman.
There is usually something original
IN her makeup. asserts the Washing
ton Star. The rude masculine observ-
er who makes the charge that woman
is defective in creativeness is wrong.
He has noted that when one woman
begins to wear a certain or uncertain
shape OF hat every other woman must
have the same shape. be Il shapely or
shapeless. He has observed that when
one woman switches the fullness OF
the sleeve from the elbow to the
shoulder or back again from the shout
der to the elbow every other wom-
an must do the same. He has OBJ
served that when one woman designs
90 bake q cake she insists on Dor
rowing the neighbor's recipe. though
this argues more for woman's rever-
ence for precedent than for her lack
OF originality. The observer has also
noted that the FIRST woman got n
the frst street car backward and that
ever since every other woman has
done the same thing.
