Books as Eriends.

Best are the books that each one col
lects for himself, especially If their
purchase entails a sacrifice. How often
the pleasure that man gets out Of his
books varies inversely with his power
of acquiring them! None knew better
than Charles Lamb the triumph Of
bringing home a coveted prize. joy
unshared by the outside world, pri-
vate joy If there ever is one. Many
who have thus collected a small IL
brary, book by book, reading each book
before they bought another, will rec
ollect the feeling Of being among
strangers when a sudden accession Of
books comes to them from a relations
legacy or the bequest of a friend.
They set to work to make acquaint-
ance with them, as In duty bound, but
they are not of their choosing; the
process is to a great extent perfume
tory, and they never really catch up.
For In the library as in the world a
reader makes many acguaintancess, but
few friends, and these few will be Of
his own choosing, London Academy.

HER OWN SURGEON.

The Story of an Elephant With a Nail
In HersFoot. ~
Pairing. the feet Of most elephants. is
no more difficult than trimming the
2hoofs of a, horse, says a writer in Me-
Clure's. The keeper simply prols his
hook into an ankle. up" he says,
and up comes the foot, measuring
sometimes twenty inches across, as
!obediently as the dainty paw Of a
toy fox terrier. However, exactly like
human beings, elephants have their
weaknesses, and the old maidish within
of Jewel was that she wanted no one
to tamper with her feet. She was
gentle, affectionates beast that would
not think Of hurting a. flea, but where
other elephants simply raised their feet
and rested them on a box or barrel
until the keeper had finished with his
knives and rasps and files Jewel would
let out a scalp raising trumpet like the
screech of cracked bugle and would
refuse to stand.
Jewels keeper began to work, again
and again coaxing up the great foot
and working when he got the chance.
Toward. the end of the morning the
point Of his knife struck something
hard. With a trumpet the foot came
down; the trunk reached out, grasped
the keeper about the arm, lifted him
high in the air and carefully set him
down in corner Of the stall. With
sweets and caresses the keeper work
ed his way back to favor and cautious
ly cut around the obstruction, which
he could see was wire nail But
each time the knife touched the sore
spot down went the foot, out came the
screech, and forth reached the trunk,
picking up the $50 pound man as if he
we're a straw and setting him into a
corner as if he were bad boy. In
time, however, the head Of the nail was
enough cleared to permit hold with
pinchers, and the keeper was about to
get these when he>,was gently pushed
aside. The beast turned and reached
with her trunk, CROPPED across the sole
with the fnger-like projections at the
end of it, grasped the head Of the nail
and with one wrench pulled out
three inch long wire nail bent about an
inch from the head.

The Forum observes that the ap-
po1ntment of temperance commits
sloner in the person Of George Muir
ray OF Steele county, will meet with
the favor Of the prohibitionists of the
state. As a matter of fact, with a
nrm declaration on the part of the
regularly constituted prosecuting au-
fhorities in the state and the support
and assistance of judicial, county and
city authorities to the effect that the
prohibition law would be enforced
there would be little need for a special
ofhcer to give his attention to the EN-
Iorcement of this particular law.
inere is ample machinery for the en-
1orcement Of the law wherever it ID
being violated and the only thing
needed is the knowledge that the an
thorlties will lend their energies ~
seeing that the prohibition law Il not
violated with IMMUNITY or immunity
The temperance commissioner undar
the provisions OF the new law wiz
need only to devote his entire ener-
.gles to obtaining evidence and bring
ING actions against yiolators Of the
