BIG ELEPHANT SAVES CASH.

New York.-Gunda, the big Indian

why he has been saving the pennies
which visitors give him. Incidentally
he came near wrecking the ice cream
and soda water stand.
Gunda deposits every penny he gets
in bank and registers 1t by ringing
small bell at the top of his cage.
Almost every visitor gives the ele-
phant a coin to see him ring it up"
This money he guards jealously, and
several times he has attacked keepers
who got too near his cash box.
Keeper Thurman took Gunda out
for bis customary stroll recently. Ac-
cording TO Thurman, Gunda had con-
cealed in his trunk number of coins
from his reservoir. When they reach
ed the icecream and soda water stand
kept by Joe Stanley Gunda dropped a
dozen coins on the counter. Stanley
picked up the coins and Gunda's keep

place, but Gunda refused to move and
upset the cash register and many bot

1t dawned on the attendants that
the elephant expected ice cream for

enough ice cream for troop of chill

and began to eat the ice cream.

Land Commission
HAS SUGGESTIONS
Commissioner Pratt Gives
His Views On
Questions

The Land Advisory Board gave up
the majority of the afternoon session
yesterday to the hearing of sugges-
tions from Land Commissioner Pratt
and to his answering and comment
| ing on the statements which had been
made during the morning session. Mr.
Tucker, during the morning session.
when called upon to make some sug-
gestion or statement as to his views
on land matters, said that the reason
It was so hard to get settlers here
from the mainland was because the
price Of land was too high. In ex-
PLANTATION of this Mr.. Pratt answered
yesterday afternoon that the reason
is that there is no short-crop season
here.
He said that, In the States, short
crops could be taken off during the
first season and an income could
therefore be derived, but here, the
only crops being pineapple and cane,
1t is almost two years before the first
lcrop can be realized.
Mr.. Pratt said that If IL were pos
sible to raise Sea Island cotton and
three crops OF tobacco during the first
two years that would be doing we'll.
With regard to the criticism and
comment that has been passed as TO
the administration of the land laws,
Mr.. Pratt stated that all laws have
been administered under the advice
and direction of the Attorney Gener-
ais Department. He also said that IL
there has been any difficulty with re-
lation to the land act. the thing to
do is to amend the law. and leave It
to the proper officials to administer 1t
as 1t reads.
Chairman Lewis suggested that a
larger appropriation be given TIE
Land Department to allow the Com
missioner, or n competent person, TO
visit all the land of the Territory
study its soil and conditions. and
then classify It. Mr.. Pratt showed
that this system was already In
vogue. Then with regard to the ar.
gument of w. o. Smith in the morn
ing session, Mr.. Pratt said that the
residence clause was the whole thing
In homesteading lands. II the resi-
dence clause were short. It would b,
that much easier for the speculator
while, to the bona fide homesteader
, 1t made no difference whether 1t tool
him ten or twenty years to prove up
Mr.. Pratt approved of the Governor
1O-year agreement. He suggested
J forty to fifty acres for an area fo
demonstrating cane land and thirty I,

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
IS NOT INTERESTED

Editor Evening Bulletins:
In last evenings paper in reporting
the "spiritualistic" occurrences on
Punchbowl, you say that Christian
Scientists say the girl is a medium,
and you put Christian Scientists in
4 list with people you suppose to be
interested in such occurrences. May
correct an inference that might
readily be drawn from your report?
Christian Science does not teach a
belief in mediums nor in spiritualis-
tic performances, nor has It's teach
ing anything in common with spirit
ualism or Theosophy. Christian Sci
ence is founded and maintained not
On human opinion or material belief
but solely on the teaching of the
Bible as given thro' Jesus Christ, the

A Meditation.

"Ye shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come unto you"
There can be no acceptable service
without this endowment, Even
Jesus must first be baptized with the
Holy Ghost before He could enter
upon His great mission.
The apostles, who had been in
Christ's school for three years, could
do nothing until they we're endowed
with power from on high.
Mr.. Moody used to say that he
would rather break stones on a turn
pike than attempt to preach without
the indwelling and power of the
Holy Spirit. The great reason why
some of our young peoples meetings
ire such a drag is because its men,
bers do not seek power from above.
To obtain this power we must
earnestly seek for it in prayer. eff
we being evil know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your heavenly Father give
the Holy Spirit to them that ask
Him."
To obtain more power, we must
use the power already bestowed.
go in this thy might" the angel
said to Gideon-the might of the
promised presence. "The Lord be
with thee" AS he went he realized
the presence and power of the AL
mighty.
We must use this power in wit
Messing for Jesus. 81 am no more in
the world, but these are in the
world" We are His representatives.
Let us not misrepresent Him.
