|sandpapering process Is chiefly ap-
piled to the African elephants, whose
hides are thicker. rougher and more
scaly than the skin of the Asiatic
variety. The hide, first softened by

cleaned, is likely to remain rough.
The animals ears are delicate and
sensitive compared to the broader
portions of the body.
The Forepaugh- SELLS combined shows
which visit Marion Monday next, have
two rare African Elephants, great
huge thsked, umbrella cared pachy-
derms; that are source of amaze
ment to all who visit the menagerie.
TO their tusks are fastened immense
balls of brass. securely screwed on.
And attached to their forelegs are
strong chains which in turn are fast
|ened to the brass work. "Kongo" and
"Zeffa" are tractable animals, and are
fairly obedient.
They were captured in region In
Africa lying between the Victoria and
Albert lakes-a country where ele-
phant tracks are visible everywhere,
although they themselves are but
rarely seen. This is due to many
causes. In the first place the Af-
rican elephants are extremely shy
animals, and they detest the neigh
borhood of man. Secondly, they are
largely nocturnal feeders, and rarely
drink or bathe except by night. They
often travel immense distances to and
from the water and retire during the
day to the remotest portions of the
forest, where they doze away the
long, hot hours under the shadiest
trees they can find. Lastly, their
scent Is extremity keen, and so large
ly. developed that they can recognize
danger at very long distance, and
as soon as the alarm is given they
move quickly, but noiselessly away.
"Kongo" and Zeffa" were captured
by Kaffirs. who are persevering ele-
phont hunters, and are wonderfully
),xpert in tracking any individual by
the "spoor" or track which is made
by It's footsteps. In spite Of its
enormous dimensions, 1t is the most
invisible of forest creatures, and a
herd of elephants nine or ten feet
in height, may stand within a short
distance Of the hunter without being
detected by him, even though the
latter is aware of their presence.

The care of elephants is a delicate
matter. In fact, the animal itself is
possessed Of a most peculiarly delicate
constitution, Notwithstanding its enor-
nous size and brawny impenetrable
hide. During the winter months,
while the aniamls are resting, the
keepers put them through course of
bathing, brushing and exercising,
the effect of which is readily noticed
when the animal tour begins in the
spring. To go over a herd of thirty
colossal elephants in this way takes
several weeks.
Many square yards of elephant hide
must be rubbed and softened up,
and 1t takes days for the different
treatments to become effective. A
thorough oiling of the skin of the ele-
phant is first necessary, and often as
many as four attendants are set to
work on one big beast. Some of the
men begin on the animals legs, while
others use stepladders to reach the
upper regions Of the mastodons. An
other will begin ON the trunk. and it

BANQUET OF KNIGHTS
ON FRIDAY EVENING

The local branch of the knights of
Columbus will celebrate their fifth
anniversary on Friday evening of this
week in the lodge rooms of the coun-
ell in the Elks' building. Elaborate
preparations have been made for the
event which will be an advance on
anything of the kind heretofore at
tempted by the lodge. A literary and
musical program of special attraction
will be furnished for the knights,
their wives and sweethearts, and will
render the occasion memorable one
i'm the lives of those fortunate enough
To secure invitations.
The history of the knights In Albu-
querque is one of continual growth
and the present year will be charact-
erized by "a development surprising
that of any previous year. This will
also hold true of the organization
everywhere throughout the two terri
tories, notably so in Arizona, where
the latest addition i'm the form Of n
lodge at Phoenix, Arizona, has just
been reported. The lodge at that
point held it's first banquet last week
at the Hotel Adams and includes
among its membership some of Ari-
zona's most prominent men. II is

Gonzales Is Discharged.

Peculiar circumstances surround
the discharge from custody Saturday
evening of Jose Gonzales, a resident
of the Chihuahua settlement, who
was arrested on three separate and
distinct complaints sworn to by his
wife, charging him with assault on
wife and divers and sundry other
things. Mrs, Gonzales consulted n
lawyer, whom she retained to prose-
cute the charges against her husband.
The case was set for trial several
times, but later continued owing to
the absence of material witnesses.
After his arrest Gonzales was in
carcerated in the county Jail pending
trial. Subpoenaes were issued from
the sheriff's office for the witnesse to
appear Saturday afternoon at 4
O'Clock, and they wrote that they
