feet. right by the side Of a big foun-
tain, and he reached In his trunk for
a drink, when all of us on the pagoda,
chung to pa, and We all slid right of
into the big basin OF water. The
fountain played On us, and pa was
under water. with the four Circassian
beauties, and when we rolled or slid
down over the elephants head, he
looked at us and seemed to chuckle:
What you getting of here for, the
show amt half out"
Well, the parade went on and left
the elephant and the rest of Is at the
fountain, and to show that animals
understand each other. and can appre-
ciate a joke, every animal that passed
us gave us the laugh, even the hippo
potamus, which opened his mouth as
big as a tunnel, and showed his teeth.
and acted as though he would like to
exchange tanks With us.
The circus people that could be
spared from the wagons anne to help
US, and the citizens helped out the
Circassian beauties who were praying
to Allah. and wringing out their
clothes, and ! crawled up on the neck
OF a cast-iron swan In the fountain.
Pa yelled and talked profane. and told
EN- to bring a ann and kill the ele-
plant, which kept ducking him with
his trunk, and swabbing out the bot
tom Of the fountain basin with pa. II
seemed as though he never would get
through using pa for . mop. but finally
the people got q rope around pa. and q
keeper got IN iron hook in the ele-
plants ear, and they pulled pa out
on n side, and got the elephant away
on the other side. and Just then the
calliope, that ends the parade, came
by US and played the BLUE Danube"
and the elephant got on his hind feet
and waltzed on the pavement. They
put pa and the C~ircassian beauties In q
patrol wagon and took them to the
show lot. and l sat by the driver. and
he let me drive the team.
Pa had his sheik clothes rolled up
around his waist, and was wringing
them out. and talking awful sassy. and
when We got to the lot 1t took a long
time to convince the policemen that
we were not guilty OF d~isorderiy on
duct, and just then the elephant came
tearing by us. with the keeper on
horseback behind him, prodding him in
the ham every jump with a sharp iron,
and he went through the side OF the
tent "a though he WAS mighty sOrry he
didn't kill US all.

TALL AND GRACEFUL GIRL.
This Is Day Of Woman of Long Lines
and How She Should Garry
HERSELF.

lue t6L girl practices the Berlin
method Of sleeping and waking. The
new Berlin theory of waking up Is one
that was first written out by q physi.
clan named Halle, of Germany. Halle
tried 1t upon his patients In a Berlin
sanitarium, and such was his success
that he has kept on with 1t.
The %sanitarium wa for wealthy %.
tients. who were a little too stout.
The idea Is to wake up slowly and
deliberately. Here are the Halle rules.
the rules by which you can make your.
self taller:
Wake up In the morning and
stretch. Practice the arm movements.
Without getting out OF bed. lie Hat
upon your back, stretch your arms
over your head and imagine that you
have dumbbells in your hands. Exer-
else your arms upward. Try 1t a dozen
times. Move your arms upward again
and again. Try the arm motions side
ways. Keep on for Ave or ten minutes.
Then stretch. Stretch every mNscle in
your body. Keep on stretching until
you have stretched for Is minutes.
Then begin and gap.
This waking up slowly is really all
there is of the famous Halle method,
which m go to Germany and pay
a small fortune to learn. Any woman
a pick 1t up for herself. But it
takes time and time Is something the
average woman does not possess.
The tall girl is eating the foods that
make the frame grow. She takes meat
once a day and usually white meat. II
she can get 1t. She also eats fish.
And she eats fruits by the quantity.
And there is another thing which
the tall girl does not neglect, and that
is her hour of gymnastics. 1t is nee
essary for her TO practice gymnastics
an hour at night, and never does she
seek her couch without going through
with them.
Keeping the chest raised is very i'm
portant. And 1t is a knack which the
feminine s%ix-footer has learned. She
keeps her chest raised all the time.
The very tall girl learns how to
walk upstairs. When she goes up-
stairs she does not throw herself for
ward and pant. Neither does she drag
herself up. With her dress well lifted
she walks upstairs perfectly erect. She
plants each foot upon the stair and
steps forward and upward very much
as though she were walking up q hill.
1t is fine exercise when you climb
stairs in this way. Stair climbing
does not hurt you.
The very tall girl learns how to rest.
She never wastes one moemnt OF en-
ergy. She has the knack OF resting
against a cushion. of resting against
a chair back, of resting against sor1e-
thing so that her muscles Get = little
repose.
Re.axing at tn. pre- per time is a dis.
tinct art, but it is one which the short
girl ices not possess. All short girls
are nervous; all short girls are rest
less; all short girls are active, and all
short girls are tired. The feet that they
are active and restless really keeps
them from growing tell.
The tall girl, on The other hand, ts
full of repose. She knows how to re-
lax, and the who has learned
the art of resting has gained more bat
ties in this world than the m who
has conquered a fortune.

Ten Reasons why Gold Mining Is the
Best Form of Investment
1st. Gold is Of universal and ever
increasing demand.
3D. In cooperating with a bona-fide
american mining concern one is assist
ing In the development of perhaps the
most valuable legitimate national in
dustry and natural resource. thus direct
perity., p-o
3D.. A small sum for such an invest
ment Is hardly missed even by the mod
crate wage-earner, especially when paid
in monthly installments.
4th: The habit of setting aside money
regularly for investment Is an excellent
one, even If the returns are long DELAYED.
9th. The habit of carefully considering
mining r,nnd propositions and selecting one or
cation in itself and helps to sharpen the
wits and cultivate the Judgment.
.,S Stn: ~, A gold mining business is. unques-
modes of employing wealth, the propor-
uonate cost OF production being small,
.ne IN product itself imperishable and at
all times convertible into currency
9TH. A gold mine cannot collapse like
bank may and does.
Sth. Money in a sound bank is all very
well and proper, but a little in a mine
may. at any time bring in more than
the bank interest compounded for many
years.
9Th. Stocks in proven gold mining
properties are always negotiable. and
by buying when the market is low a
promising investment is assured
10th. Illness or accident are liable to
befall even the most robust, and when
least expected. At such a time a mining
indeed.

There were no changes yesterday in of
