Why Elephants Fear Mice.

1t seems incredible that so small
and harmless an animal as q mouse Is
able to brighten an elephant almost
out of his senses. One little mouse
in the hay on which they are feeding
will stampede an entire herd. In
their native land there are little
animals, known as chacanas, which
feed on small, sour berry Of which
elephants are very fond. They live
in settlements, something after the
manner OF prairie dogs, under the
berry bushes. When feeding, the
elephants trample the little towns,
and the chacanas, in their fright, run
up the tubes of the elephants trunks.
Their long, sharp claws catch in the
flesh, and they cannot be elected.
The more violently the monster blows
through its ooiled trunk the more
firmly the hooked claws of the little
animal become imbedded In the
flesh. Inflammation and death are
the result. In captivity the elephants
think they are in danger of the dead
ly chacanas when they see mouse.

declared their intention of voting for

conservative element stood together

And days bear weeks, and weeks bear

Ere, If at all, the weary traveller hear,
With accents whispered in his way

A Voice he dares to listen to, cay
Come to thy true home.'
