PANTRY CLEANED

those using coffee.
when we were married two years

years before the public he has been
the most faithful animal that ever
walked on four legs. He is as gentle
as the sacred COW and has never CIV
en- keeper moments anxiety.
In the old days before streets were
paved in the smaller cities, Badly
earned his board many times over
when the rains came. He can throw his
great hulk against a mired wagon and
move it to solid ground when twenty
horses could not bulge it. Today
when the show is on the road, he still
works. He can place the heavy cages
in the menagerie without an apparent
effort And as the quarters are too
close for more than a single team to
work, the circus people could not well
do without him.
He is stiil in his prime-just entering
manhood one might say-for elephants
have been known to live 500 years. So
1t is more than likely that Badly will
live to eat peanuts from the hands OF
children whose great grandparents are
yet unborn.

brought the animal to America for it's
first tour with the red wagons. What
became of Paddy when old man Storm
went to the wall is not known till we
hear of him again in 1850, as a part
of the menagerie of the old Dan Rice
circus. In 1855 Badly became the
property of the city of New Orleans,
where he lived on the fat of the land
in the public park there.
Then Badly travelled again with a
circus which at the close Of the civil
war sold him to the Rockford, ILL.,, park
association. In 1872 Charles Address,
then a successful circus owner and
now living in retirement in Chicago,
bought the big fellow and placed it
with his menagerie.
In 1886 when Address retired, Badly
was sold to the Ringing Bros, and the
people with the big circus are so fond
of him 1t is not likely they will ever
part with him. He is not one Of the
trained elephants. for Badly never took
to higher education. But in Ill his

"But-there is Nj. Chauvenet. He

They had reached the veranda steps,
and she ran to the top and turned for
a moment to look at him. He still car
ried his hat and crop in one hand and
had dropped the other into the side
pocket Of his coat. He was wholly at
ease, and the wind ruffled his hair and
gave him boyish look that Shirley
liked. But she had no wish to be

to go into the house, when he detained

Chauvenet twisted his mustache re
hectively. His mind had been busy
seeking means OF turning the meeting
to his own advantage. He had met
Armitage at quite the least imaginable
spot in the world for an encounter be-
tween them. and he was not man
who enjoyed surprises. He had taken
care that the exposure Of Armitage at
Washington should be telegraphed to
every part Of the country and put upon

no idea that he would turn up at a

Washingtonians and only compare.

Armitage spoke now in a very different

Old Badly will be PIP years old next
Tuesday, and will celebrate his birth
day in Marshalltown. He is still cheer
full in spirit and hale and hearty-that
is for an elephant. Badly is the largest
of Ringing Bros herd of forty. He
is of the .Asatic type, not as tall as
Jumbo was, but much heavier.
The first known of Old Badly is that
while George Washington was still
president of the United States he was
brought from somewhere in the Wilds
of India to become a member Of the
old geological garden of London, Eng
land. That was on Sept /, 1895. The
big fellows age was then estimated at
100 years, and as all living things as
important as Badly must have a birth
day to celebrate, it was decided that
the day of his arrival in civilization
should have that honor.
During the war of 1872 Badly was
transferred to the public gardens at
Liverpool where he remained till 1886,
when old John Storm, who toured the

to calm the fears of the patients in

Only one woman patient became hys-

there was no danger at any time ap-

machines suitable for country printing Of
fees Composition on the ordinary county
seat paper has become a problem, both in
securing help and in keeping down cost,
and publishers have been on the lookout
for lower priced machine than the reg
ular Mergenthaler linotype. They will
have the opportunity at the state meeting
to compare two machines which will, in
a measure. supply the long felt want.
The Junior Linotype-the new model just

ton. 1t Is q two-letter machine, and it is
claimed will do as fast work as the regu-
lar linotype now used in the larger offices.
Tt is also more simple in construction.
The American Typograph will also be
shown for the first time in Kansas. This
is the machine that has been used so long
in Canada and now comes into the Amer
loan market on the expiration of the slug
casting device of the Mergenthaler patent.
It is also a Suggesting machine of sim
pie construction and can be worked either
by hand or power.

thinks about putting in a machine any
