He did not always want steaks and

could not translate only added to his
dissatisfaction.
1t was after an especially trying
meal at the hotel that Dave armed
himself with box of violets and sal
lied forth to propose to Nell. He had
slowly come to the conclusion that
Nell was no longer as young as she
pretended to be, but she offered escape
from the hotel, and he was sick of the
place-sick of its cuisine, its grinning

1t was a long trip uptown, and
much of his courage had oozed away
when at last he found himself on the

that the maid came to the door. II

This little maid he decidedly approved

There is an elephants school in

taught in it to take up and carry in
their trunks great teakwood logs-no
easy task, for the logs require delicate
balancing. They are taught to kneel,
to answer to the various strokes of the
ankus, or goad, and, like saddle horses.
they learn several gaits. Pets schools
abound the world over. There are
schools for white mice, for monkeys,
for song birds, not TO mention the IA
nous phOnograph school for teaching
parrots to talk that is the pride of
Philadelphia. The big dealers in wild
animals usually run small schools
where lions, tigers, bears and leopards
are taught simple tricks. Such schools
are very profitable. Where an un-

broken one will easily fetch double"

Literary Press.

After ten years of fried bacon and
salt pork the pendulum swung to its
opposite extreme for David Chadwick.
The goddess of fortune, whom he had
long wooed in vain, now turned her
face with truly feminine caprice. From
bacon and corn bread Dave had been
advanced almost overnight TO a New
York hotel, where his days board
would have bought provisions for a
month during his prospecting period.
And still Dave was not satisfied. He
did not like what he termed "fussy"
foods, and the very length of the bill
OF fare deprived him of his appetite.
Then it was that Nell Horton came
as an angel of deliverance and led him
to her home in the suburbs, where
Dave devoured all that was put before
him and rejoiced in the absence of a
Dill of fare.
Il don't suppose that this modest
meal will appeal to you," said Nell
with ostentatious mOdesty. 1--WE are
plain people out here, and after your
grand hotel it must seem skimpy,
but when saw you on the avenue
said to myself, I'll bet that's Dave
Chadwick, and I'm going to ask him
home, no matter what he may think
You haven't changed mite, Dave,
since you left Lawrence"
Now, II is pleasant for man who
realizes that he is beginning to look
old to be told that he does not differ in
appearance after fifteen years, and for
the first time Dave decided that Nell
was looking remarkably young herself.
He could not know that Nell had
carefully studied the numerous pic
lures of the new CrOesus in the news
papers and had haunted the vicinity
of his hotel for days before she had
encountered him, apparently by chance,
in front of the place.
The Horizons had known Dave in his
early life, before he had gone west to
seek and eventually find fortune.
When the papers had taken up the
newly made multimillionaire, as the
week before they had taken up the
newly born baby elephant of the cir
Gus, Nell had read all the stories and
had determined that Dave and his mil
lions should become her property.

told her mother. 'If we can get hold

Our lighting plant is about the same as
all other municipal plants, which to my
mind is never Il great success To the city
on account of so many contingencies arls-
ing in the management Of the same. The
manager is subjected at all times to
change of administration and political In
fluences which are not always for the
best of the service.
The city bought this pant something
like eleven years ago. and during these
eleven years 1t has not always given the
best of service. 1t has not begun to pay
for itself. and now We are confronted
with the reconstruction of more modern
machinery. with the hope that from now
on it will do better.

reasons above stated-vi2. that you will
