Tho Elephant at BAY.

Twenty years of experience tells me
that Il whole regiment of lions cannot
produce the same moral effect as one
twelve foot African tusker when he
cocks his big. sail-like ears. draws him
self up to his full height and looks at
you. letting off at the same time a
blood curdling scream. while in all
probability others invisible to you are
stampeding on all sides with the din
and vibration of an earthquake. Sur.
rounded In a dense jungle by n herd of
elephants. they seem to block out the
whole horizon. One | measured was

uificant self seemed to shrivel and my
huge express rifle to dwindle into a

"The lat, DR.. Morgan DIX" said a
clergyman of New York, had a droll
way of tightening grave subjects with
little humorous asides. Once | heard
him addressing a graduating class Mt
a medical school. He began in this
way:
Psychologists tell us. gentlemen.
that the older a man grows the smaller
his br~'n becomes. This explains why

To the Editor Of the Republican.
The American people e hardly
to realize how Important a measure is
before congress in the postal savings
banks bill. Nearly every foreign ceun.
Try has incorporated this bank into its
financial scheme and always with
gratifying and beneficial results. A
bill was introduced in the last congress
providing for such banks, the COM
mittee in charge OF it reported it IA
Jorably, the date of its argument Is
set for December IA, and as everyone
n congress is %favorably inclined
thereto, its enactment seems imminent
and certain.
Republicans for Measure.
The republican platform and Mr..
Taft stand squarely for it. The demo-
cratic party and Mr.. Bryan are Wiling
to have it If the guarantee of the bank
deposits is deemed inadvisable. While
the American people favor such a bank
and realize that next spring may see
it in operation, few seem to realize
how important a factor it will be If in
PRODUCED into every small community
in this country. Indeed, its import
nj can be hardly over-estimated.
Consider for a moment a few OF the
more important aspect of the postal
savings banks.

Interest at 2 per cent per annum
will be paid on all deposits up to five
hundred dollars. No sum greater than
one thousand dollars may be deposited
to the credit OF any one person. These

of these banks.

The names of the contestants in the
popular voting contest Of the Los An
geles Herald, and the number of votes
to the credit of each, is now published.
Persons who have been waiting for
that announcement should begin vot-
ing at once. If your candidate has not
already entered, start her name with a
few votes.
There still seems to be a misunder~
standing among some of the contest
ants and their friends as to the meth
cd of contest in the various districts
for the $4,000 Herald prizes. The ten
districts are all competing for the capi-
tai prize. which will go to that young
lady who receives the most votes in the
entire contest regardless of district
limitations. But after that prize has
been awarded there will be four prizes
given In each district, and in that way
each district Is a separate and COM
plete contest in itself.
The only way that the districts are
all working against each other Is for
the capital prize, which will be the
choice of the entire list of prizes.
Another question which has been
asked by several is How long are the
coupons which are issued from the Of

They are good until the last night

1.-THE greatest honors of the concert
fell to Mary Hissen de Moss" declared
the St. Louis Republican, referring to
the brilliant work of the New York
soprano, who is to be heard here with
the Damros Symphony orchestra In its
matinee of Friday, May 8.
In other cities Madame de Moss has
been similarly praised, the following
from the Cincinnati Enquirer being a
fair example of the enthusiasm which
her singing has aroused:
Few if any of the vocalists who
have been heard here for the last six or
seven years at the symphony concerts
have given quite as unqualified satis-
faction as Mary Hissem de Moss. 1t is
the we'll trained voice, the result of
hard work, combined with the posses
sion of a beautiful method that has
never been strained. The absolute
purity of her voice reminds one of the
great prima donnas in their best days"
