Monday morning building an out-of-
doors enclosure in which the ele-
phant must hereafter take her sun
bath. No more will the little ones
be permitted to feed her from their
hands, for Miss Maud has abused the
confidence reposed in her and has
forfeited the privileges of freedom
heretofore allowed her.
For several days the elephant has
been FESTIVE. She has grown melan-
choly and her spirit has groaned at
the confines of the elephant house.
Sunday superintendent Dave Giles
pie ordered the animal keeper to
stake Maud in the center of a choice
grass plat. Soon the children began
to gather about her, and Maud be-
gan to show signs of nervousness.
This was attributed to the fact that
il was her first outing Of the year,
and the attendant had no suspicion
that she was in anything but happy
frame of mind
Late in the afternoon when large
crowd had assembled about Maud
ladv spectator began to toss peanuts
to the beast, much to the enjoyment
of the children. One of the peanuts
fell some distance from the elephant.
A little girl, holding to the hand OF
her father, reached out to pick up
the peanut. thinking to throw II
within reach of the slowly travelling
trunk. -,
Seized with the idea that the child
was about to take the peanut away
from her the elephant with a sudden
swish of the trunk grasped the 1T

A Sharp SwindIer.

A fashionable young lady once drove
up in handsome carriage to a private
lunatic asylum situated a few miles
from Paris and requested to see the
proprietor. Her wish being acceded to,
she informed the doctor that she de-
sired to place her husband under his
care to see If a cruel mania under
which he labored-viZ, "that he had
lost large quantity of jewel"

ton the doctor consented, and the lady
drove away directly to a jewelers. in
Paris and selected jewels to the value
Of several thousand francs and re-
quested one of the shopmen to go with
her in her carriage to procure the
money for the goods she had taken.
She drove with him to the asylum, and,
arriving there, he was shown into a
room. The lady then sought the doc
tor, told him of the arrival of her hus-
band and, getting into her carriage,
again drove away. The rest may be
imagined, but the poor fellow was con-
fined several days before it was found
they both had been "sold." The lady
was never heard of after.

An Eccentric Genius.

Among the geniuses none perhaps
was stranger than the poet Baudelaire:

bacco and wine to excess and enjoyed
perverted olfactory sensations. my

of other men soar upon. music" be
wrote. But what pleased him, strange
~, were odors Of putrefaction, vile
smells which other men abhorred and
the stenches of disease which made
others sick. And yet his poetry is
among the most passionately musical
of the literature Of France. He was
exceedingly superstitious, believing he
would not succeed in an undertaking
unless he left house first with the
left foot, and would count the number
of gas jets along the streets, the num-
bers Of cabs and numbers of doors.
Adding these figures in his mind, he
would consider the result an omen

Der was seventeen. Curiously, once he
was thrown out Of cab, the figures Of

"My daughter" replied the elder wo-

Abernethy then put question to the

her mother began long story. Aber-

Wacner's Portrait.

When Wagner was in England super

the music enthusiasts commissioned
the artist Herkomer to paint the mu-
sician's portrait, but Wagner was dash

he repealed impatiently every attempt
to get him to give Sitting" Still,
Herkomer stuck to him like limpet,

him, watched him conduct his orches-

last, when every attempt to secure a
sitting had failed, Herkomer rose
early one morning, painted with fren-
zied speed all day, spent short night
in restless sleep, rose early again and
painted furiously, till on the second
evening he sat down exhausted

Among the stories of that former
governor Of Texas Familiarity known
as Sam Houston is more than one
amusing tale.
There was a financial agent of tbs
penitentiary who had warmly opposed
the election of Governor Houston, but
was particularly anxious to retain his
own pleasantly lucrative position. Con,
sequently the new governor was soon
in receipt of a petition in which the
mans years of faithful service and
special qualifications for the place were
set forth in glowing terms by himself.
The governor sent for him and said
gravely, 1T appears from this petition
that you have been in the penitentiary
eight years.
II have" was the reply,
"And during that time you have per-
formed faithfully every duty that has
come in your way to the best of your
ability?
II have" answered the agent, his
courage swiftly rising.
"Then, sir" said the governor, with
the air Of one comforting a priceless
favor, II pardon you out"

A BibuIous Lord Mayor.

Any one with love of queer names
should study the names of past lord
mayors of London Besides one or two
that are merely uncommon and did
not belong to men of any distinction,
such as Sir Richard Spaa, mayor in
1882. there are some that deserve no.
tice also for the sake of those who bore
them. There was Sir John Brugges in
1920, whose ancestor fought at Agin-
court, when, curiously enough, the
name had the more modern form of
Bridges. There was Alderman Mica
jah Perry in 1889, who laid the first
stone of the Mansion House, and Sir
Benjamin Hamet, who was fined Ell 900
in 1897 for refusing to act as mayor
positively cheap way of getting out

The most appropriately named lord
mayor seems, however, to have been
the cheerful Sir Robert Yiner, who en-

kings health so often as to become I'M

to retire, but Viner plucked him by

The Flight of a Great NebuIa.

One of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes is that of the
great nebula in Orion. In the COM
plexity Of it's glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses, inter
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged in
suggestive groups and lines, it has few
rivals in the heavens. The impress
sion of astonishment made by the sight
of this nebula is heightened by knowl-
edge of it's enormous size. The entire
solar system would appear as tiny
speck beside it. Yet this tremendous
aggregation of nebulous clouds and
starry swarms has been proved by the
researches Of the astronomers of the
Lick observatory to be flying away
from the earth and the sun at the rate
of eleven miles in every second. But
so vast is it's distance that a hundred
years reveal no visual effects of the
great nebula's swift retreat If it were
near by it would seem to become rap

The uuIiest Beast.

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world is monkey, a grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
This is so utterly grotesque beast
that it would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see it. The
ugliness is not Of an amusing kind, but
of an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has sort of beard and a countenance
unlike anything else in shape and
lines. The monkey itself is not partic-
ularly savage, but is so hideous that
the natives of its country. South Amer
lea, say that no beast of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it. Even hungry
jaguar will starve in a cageful of sakis.
