Had Given it Away

Y UCILLE'S mother had taken her
 for an outing in the Luxembourg A< Gardens. Now that the hour for luncheon had arrived. she called to the little girl:
 Lucille. we will now have a little roll and some chocolate. and you shall pay with the two sous I gave you but q short tirae since"
 "oh. mama" cried Lucille. q have already given the two sous away to an old womanr'

And fame has attended all your grandfathers and great-grard- fathers back to that great white ele- phant. one of the finest ever known. to whom. in l546. Akbar raised a monu- naent-a tower-like structure rising high in the air. and decorated with thousands of costly tuslks taken from the royal herd of elephants. Thus were your fore fathers esteemed. and so I would have you esteemed for your wisdom. strength. speed and beauty
 With a last tender caress the elephant permitted her baby to be taken from her. And Billy. for that was the name given the little fellow by his new mas ter. found plenty of opportunity to pom der over these words of advice. Far from India he sailed in a bis ship that pIowed the ocean for days and days.
 But finally he reached America. where Billy hoped he might in time surpass his mothers expectations. Little did he imagine the life he was to lead, This descendant of noble ancestors. mighty lords of the forest. soon found himself compelled to walk in circus parades; to perform stupid tricks and to stand for hours merely swinging his trunk.
 No wonder it was. then, that an eie- phant of his high ambition should suf- fer. He grew sad and morose. until all the animals told one another how disa- greeable Billy had become.
 There seemed no cure for Billy's ill., temper up to the time he arrived in England to greet his new owner. who had bought him from the American cir- GUS man.
 Billy forgot his crossness, however. when he found himself at the Franco British Exposition. Here there was . long, smooth board built just for the benefit of Billy and his elephant cona-

Y AyING cast his line with pre- H cision. Hassan leaned against \ \ the barrel placed for his con-
 venience on the edge of the quay. Hassan also gave deep sigh of content. True. the future held pain full punishment in store, for little Arab boys may not run away from carpet weaving to fish. without hearing from angry fathers. But what of 1t! He was having a glorious time now. and the future must take care of itself.
 Hassan thought of the first time he had gone a-fishing. Ben Ali had coaxed him down to this very quay, and had in- structed him exactly how to handle his line. He remembered how he had run away in terror from the ugly squirming thing he drew from the water--a thing with eight twisting, twining. snaky legs. fastened to body ten inches long, and with horrible. protruding green eyes. He remembered. too, how Ben All had called threateningly after him:
 Coward. come backl Come back. or I shall never let you come with me again!'
 He had returned to watch, with AS@AAAA Ao8NAAA@tA0AAt IAAO Sh6AJ tSBo NbAA about Ben Ais hand. Then Ben Ali, with dextrous sweep of his knife. had cut of the entire eight legs close to the ugly creature's body. They had relaxed ihelplessly; the haunting green eyes had lost their iuster. And Ben All. after hacking the body and legs into small pieces. had placed them in a bag and carried them home. Hassan had eaten his share of the dish at supper that evening. but he had not relished 1t. for. try as he would. he could not help thinking Of the frightful green eyes.
 Then how severe his father had been! ''No good, se1f-respecting Mohamme- dan" the stern parent had said. should spend his time fishing. like the poor Turks. when he might be engaged in the ancient and honorable trade of carpet weaving''

 ''Hassan. you are not growing up q good boy. must send you away to learn the Koran" sadly announced his father.
 So the lad was placed under the care of a rnollah. who made him work as hard as he had labored at carpet weav- ing. All day long he and his boy com panions squatted before their teacher, learning the Koran by heart and re- beating in a peculiar. sing-song way

rades. Down this they would slide with a speed that caused Billy to assure himself he travelled as swiftly as his mother could wish him to go How he would dash into the great pool of re- freshing water at the bottom of the slide. only to scramble out the next moment and toll up the stairs, so that he might repeat the thrilling ride!
 The novel tohoggan slide. with It's ar- tificial background of the lofty Hims- Iayas. has completely cured Billy of his bad temper, for he now believes he is exceiiing his mothers fondest hopes.

ecuting attorney, Jonathan E. Ladd
who is now serving his first term. In
the first place, Mr. Ladd "looks the
part Then, he is qualified to per-
form his duties in thorough man
ner. Mr.. Ladd had no help" in
these criminal cases, and it didn't
seem as though he really needed any.
In his address to the jury in both
cases, he pleaded eloquently for the
cause of humanity, and denounced in
bitter terms the crimes that had been
committed in each instance against
the prosecuting witnesses-a mere
boy and chit of a girl.
The clerk of courts, Ed. L. Blue,
the jolly, good -natured Perrysburg
man, understands his business right
up to the handle. He is always ON
deck, even il he does live in Perrys-
burg. His books and accounts are in
ship-shape and when he administers
the oath one would scarcely associate
him with the newspaper business.
The court bailiff-we don't know
know the gentleman's name-exe-
cuted his work in a satisfactory way.
He was quiet and was always on
hand when wanted.
The sheriff, Andrew G. Roach, or
his deputy, Mr.. Shoecraft, guarded
the prisoners from start to finish.
They always snoozed with one eye
open and there was no "get away"
during the trials.
The only real kick we can think of,
is the dinky elevator, or rather, the
operation thereof. But that will take
another chapter.
