Her ugliness early this week assumed
such an alarming character that her

so her execution was arranged for.
The execution of Columbia was simple.
She was choked to death. Keeper Den
man shackled her to one corner OF
the elephant barn. rope was
thrown around her neck and with the aid
Of block and tackle five men pulled the
rope around her neck so tightly that tho
elephant was choked before she had time
TO make an outcry. Her bulging eyes were
the only signs of pain.
The body, weighing $3.50 pounds, was
dragged out OF the barn bv Alberta, one

cashier. Miss Jeanette Refs. If he
wishes to draw out any of his money
he must fill out check and sign and
indorse it just as he would in any
other bank At the end Of the day
the business is checked up and en-
tered upon the banks ledgers, and each
individual account is carried in the
card index file so that any depositor's
balance may be ascertained at q mo-
ments notice.
The children who cannot write are
helped in making out their slips and
checks by some of the older children,
but everything that they can do for
themselves they do and take the keen
est delight in it. Some of the books
are grimy past belief from frequent
counting Of the stamps, but as Mr.,
Seman says, the pleasure and benefit
which the children derive from that
which the book represents to them
more than compensates for a little dirt.
Miss Jeanette Refs is president,
cashier, paying and receiving teller,
bookkeeper and clerk, all in one, of this
little bank Instead, in the eyes Of
the children she is the bank.
The rule that not more than 10 cents
can be withdrawn, unless the child is
accompanied by the parent, teaches the
children to consult and advise with
their parents, and often prevents use
less expenditure of money that may
be Of vital Importance later.-St. Louis

CIRCUS LESSONS.
B 8&&@&@&@@~@@@@@@~
~.~-0-oU--~-~~~-~~

Discipline Is one Of the spokes in the
circus system wheel, says a writer III
the Cosmopolitan. In the modern cir
Gus no swearing Is allowed, as women
and children may hear Ii. Cards, Dice
and drink are prohibited This is not
the conception which the public holds
concerning circus people, but strength
and steady nerves are needed for cir
Gus feats, and dissipation of any kind
would soon leave the performers with
out a profession.
When big American circus was
abroad the German Emperor came one
night incognito and watched them I'M
load the fiat cars Their system so I'M
pressed him that he had some Of the
officers of the German army see 1t and
adopt some of their methods.
In landing the circus outfit the first
man there Is the "layer-out-" He gen
orally decides in about ten minutes
where his tents are to be placed. As
the building of the white city proceeds,
everything seems to be in confusion, a
tangled mass. Men are running every
way wagons seem to be dumping their
loads promiscuously but every wagon
Is lettered or numbered. so is every box
or trunk, and all have their proper
places. This great tumble of wagons
grooming and creaking in the soft turf
and men shouting and singing Is all
working as one great whole to an end
But although they all work together,
each man Is taught to think for him
self, and when a man shows ability, he
Is soon noticed One instance of this
was afforded by a young man who was
studying medicine in the winter, and
thought a season in the fresh air would
harden him for his next winters work
The only job he could get was as a can
vas man. But he was able to think for
himself, and promotion soon came.
The circus child is not taught by
blows, but by kindness and patience,
and the circus management insists that
every child shall go TO school In win
ter
