REMARKABLE INGENUITY
THE ELEPHANT.

More remarkable than the emotions
he shows, perhaps, is the ingenuity
the elephant exhibits. If an apple or
other small thing he wants be drop
ped just out Of his reach
he will probably blow it
hard against tree and catch
1t on the rebound, as a boy does rub
Der ball. Elephants are often taught
in Ceylon to pile logs, and they learn
to do this work with more precision
than man. If they suspect the pile
is not going UP perfectly straight
they step back and sight" along its
edge like carpenter looking along
board he is smoothing. There is
limit. however, to their usefulness.
They do not love work for works
sake, and If their keeper leaves them
moment they quickly weary in we'll
doing and begin to soldier"
AS illustrating elephantine ingenu-
ity, story is told by an English min
lister in India, the Rev. Mr.. Town
send. The keeper of one of the ami
mails, which was chained near Mr..
Townsend's house, built an oven, put
some rice cakes to bake, covered the
oven with some stones and went
away. No sooner was his master out
of sight than the elephant unfasten-
ed the chain from his leg, uncovered
the oven and ate the cakes. He then
recovered the oven and went back
to his tree. Being unable to fasten
the chain again, he wound 1T around
his leg so that it would look as 1T did
before. His master returned minute
later and discovered the theft. He
turned around, caught the elephants
guilty eye and at once detected the
thief.
The animal which did the trick
was not guided by instinct. He was
directed. by the same sort of con-
scious intelligence which a boy is
guided by when he robs an apple Or
chard.-Good Literature.
ANIMALS THAT WASH DISHES.
Beckmann gives delightful ac-
count of a coon which used to amuse
itself by washing various odds and
ends in bucket of water. An old
pot handle. snail SHE'LL or anything
of the sort would do, says writer
in the Strand.
But the thing he loved best of all
was an empty bottle Clasping it in
his forepaws he would waddle slow
ly to the bucket with the bottle
clasped close to his breast and then
roll it and rinse it in the water. II
anyone ventured to disturb him he
was furious and threw himself upon
his back, clinging SO tightly to his
beloved bottle that he could be lifted
by 1t.
Groos says that bears will do the
same sort of thing. He relates the
case of polar bear which used to
roll an old iron pot to and fro in his
tank. and then, lifting it out, rub 1t
up and down in trough of running
water. He stood on his hind legs and
used his forepaws exactly like a
washerwoman washing clothes.-De-

JUSTICE THE NEED OF THE HOUR,
BY Rev. Newell Dwight Hills

Among the dark problems of life
we must make place for the injus-

Its Saviour, Athens poisoned its mas
ter, Florence burned its hero, but to-
day every town and village holds at
least one martyr to cruel and unjust

SPECTACULAR RISE
IN WASHINGTON GAS
Second National Bank Stock
Assumes Sudden Prom
inence.

The old proverb about 1.-THE early bird
catching the worm" went awry ON the
Washington Stock Exchange toGav
those brokers who rushed in overp-e-
cipitately 10 sell their Gas stock at the
opening were inclined 10 rue their hasty
action. when the price went soaring
rapidly until IL had jumped from GiIh
10 o61z without any let I'D. And then, too.
the buyer was Indifferent TO the size
OF the packages offered. but took any
and all lots regardless of the price
asked. IL was field day for the allie ged
POOL in this security. and right nobly
did they perform their part.
Another surprise was sprung when
OF a sudden the first offer of Second
National Bank stock was snapped I'D
with an avidity which left little doubt
that the buyer was eager to get the
stock. The price was something ike
two points above the last recorded sale
and the bidding was continued until
thirty shares were secured. As the bid
showed no recession. II appeared that
even more was wanted.
Mitchell Mining was plentiful al ga
and after 800 shares had been supplied
the bid dropped 10 3, al which level buy
ers were disposed TO accumulate good
