Mr.. Graham kissed his daughter and
told her he would help her all he could.
Magill said:

"Sne had been complaining of her

some flowers or the baby's grave. She
did not go out until we got back. Then
we all went riding until Z p. m. We

Faye went home and we went to bed.
About 5 a. m. l got up and found
my wife gone. I looked for her on the

USES ELEPHANTS
TUSKS TO ESCAPE

New York, July 31.-Otto Hoffman
has been appointed keeper in the Bronx
Park zoo and assigned to act as valet
to Gunda, the frugal elephant which
amuses crowds by ringing bells and
picking up pennies n putting them
away for a rainy day.
He was so engaged yesterday When
a penny rolled beyond his reach and
Valet Hoffman went after the coin,
Gunda m~isconstrued his intentions,
grabbed him and dragged him into his
cage.
Hoffman did some fancy acrobatic
stunts, using the elephants tusks for
parallel bars. and managed to keep
himself from under the beasts feet,
while the other keepers prodded, and
Hoffman was badly bruised.

GET APPENDIX CUT
FOR FASHIONS SAKE

Pittsburg, July 31.-Pittsburg society
women have developed a morbid fad in
having their vermiform appendices re-
moved, and the amputation has become
so much in vogue as to have become re-
quisite to enjoy social equality with the
upper SGT.
In discussing the newest fad, a so
ciety woman, writing to a. local paper,
declares that another prominent society
woman and a leader among Pittsburg
women's clubs has asked to be remem-
bered with flowers In August, saying,
I'm going to have my yeriform appen-
dix taken out. Every one 1 know has
been treated so successfully. Oh, no, it
doesn't trouble me, but one never
knows when it will"
That many women with much time
and social prestige are becoming mono
maniacs on the subject seems to be
an assured fact after careful investi-
cation here, and surgeons who are
profiting by the fad do not hesitate &c
ridicule and condemn the practice.

by a little gasoline engine and an
old army mule as q steering "appara-
'tus," AL Martin, a former resident of

that he ian travel at the rate of fif-
teen miles an hour with the outfit:
that is, when the mule is not in the

The singular mechanism is COM

trip has been a long one, he says. W
ing to many accidents he has encount-
cred on the road, his machine having
broken down several times, necessitat-
ing delays of two or three days at a
time. HE
