Trapping an Elephant.


"Elephants are easily trapped" said
zoo keeper, "very easily trapped and
very easily tanned. The trapper chooses
spot popular with elephants and digs
hole live feet deep and twenty feet
square. He surrounds this hole with a
high board fence except in one place,
where he hangs swing gate. Next he
finds a herd of. elephants, chooses the
animal he wants, maddens it and
makes it chase him. The man tears
along on his nag, the elephant thun-
ders close after, and just at the gate
way the man swerves to the right, but
the elephant, too heavy to swerve,
bangs right on through into the hole.
He's mad at first, terribly mad. But
they give him no food or drink. they
build around the pit flres Of damp
wood that almost suffocate him with
smoke, and they daze and stupefy him
with shouts and banging Of brass pans.
The elephant Is completely broken and
subdued In three or four days. He
comes forth and follows the trapper
humbly and timidly, with tears in his
eyes,"

STILL AFTER STANDARD OIL.

Not so long ago, the Standard Oil company,
through its officers, boosted that the company was
more powerful than the government. 1t proceeded
on that assumption and soon got into trouble. The
government made good case, and fine of .$29,-
100000 was imposed. The government hasn't col
lected the money yet, but new and comprehensive
suit has been instituted against the high officials
of the company, against the holding company and
numerous subsidiary concerns which involves the
very existence of the trust. This suit is sequence
of the first and has as its purpose the bringing of
Standard Oil to a realization that the government
is still supreme in this country When this real
ization soaks into the unctuous one, unless other
unlawful combinations mend their ways and get
absolutely within the law, they will doubt be
proceeded against with equal vigor.
The cry of persecution has been raised by the
Standard and by certain politicians whose stock in
political life is that uncertain and ignoble one
which places them in opposition to anything and
everything the administration attempts The
Standard would hardly be expected to hail the adj
ministration as it's deliverer, and the demagogues
who oppose and attempt to obstruct the work of
reform hardly worthy of consideration. Out
lawry in trade has furnished the administration
cause, the ending of which will make it extremely
popular with the people.
And since it was necessary, in order to meet
the demand of the people, to proceed against some
trust, the selection of Standard Oil, the most fla
grant vioator of the law and the most arrogant of
them all, seems fitting. By the time this monopoly
is purged of its 'lawessness, other trusts may be
induced to bow before the will of sovereign peo-
pie, be compelled to serve them in capacities
which will readily suggest themselves to contem-
plative minds.
