AFRICAN ELEPHANTS.
They Are Shy of Travellers or Hunt
In the Forests.

They Are Shy of Travellers or Hunt
ers In the Forests.
elephants are but rarely seen in the
forests of Africa, however numerous
they may be- writes an old hunter
of big game in the dark continent.
This Is due to many causes. In the
first place, they are naturally extreme
ly shy animals and detest the neighbor-
hood Of man. In the second place, they
are largely nocturnal feeders and rare
ly drink or battle except at night. They
often travel immense distances to and
from the water and retire during the
day to the remotest portions of the for
est, where they doZe away the long, hot
hours under the shadiest trees that they
can find. Lastly, their scent is extreme
ly keen.
This sense is so largely developed
that they can recognize danger at a
very long distance, and as soon as the
alarm is given they move quickly but
noiselessly away. AS an elephant dis
turbed or frightened will frequently
travel twenty or thirty miles without a
stop, and as his pace under such cir
cumstances is a good five miles an
hour, it is easy to understand that

A MENTAL PUZZLE.
Double Consciousness Developed by
an Attack of Illness.

Attack of Illness.
Speaking OF instances of double con-
seriousness, Mental Science notes the
following case:
The patient was a girl, twenty-five
years of age. She suffered from some
affection that may have been menin-
gifts, but this is not known positively.
She then developed acute maniacal ex-
citation. During this illness the pa
tent presented some remarkable
changes of personality - such as are
seen in bysteria. The author does not
term the curious manifestations by
this name, but describes some nine or
more different varieties of personality
manifested by the patient that are
quite interesting. Thus the patient had
spells of blindness, deafness, paralysis,
etc. The most interesting of these
manifestations, because the least easy
to explain, was the patients ability to
draw the full figure of a nurse. etc,
during her spell of blindness. To con-
vince himself that this was the actual
case the author held a book between
the patients eyes and the sheet of
paper on which she was drawing or put
his hands before her eyes while she
was drawing without in any way inter
fering with her drawing. Her sense Of
touch was highly sensitive during that
PERIOD she could detect line drawn
across her drawing paper. dates writ
ten at the top Of her drawing paper,
merely by touching the paper where
the intruding lines had been drawn.
During her normal state the patient
could never draw either before or after
her illness.

TAFT IN NEW YORK.

Dispatches from New York today
emphasize what we already knew
that both capital and labor are delight
ed with Taft's notification speech.
Never before perhaps has a document
been so eagerly awaited and so care
fully scrutinized by both elements of
our national business 1t is no sur
prise to learn that the labor leaders of
New York, together with the business
men have come to recognize that Taft
is thoroughly conversant with modern
conditions. Above all do they realize
that Taft has been sincere and not
demagogic in his utterance. Especial
ly is his accuracy shown, these men
declare, in his remarks on the over
capitalization of railroads.
Holland, the writer from New York
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: 1.-THE
speech certainly inspired instant con-
fidence. And there seemed to be init
llitb II was Itdu DIS approving
ly by the leaders of organized labor as
by men who serve the community by
the use of their capital. The impress
sion is very strong in this city that
the organized labor in the employ of
the railroad corporations is now
warmly disposed to favor Mr.. Taft
The satisfaction, says Holland, of
the business interests in finding that
Mr.. Taft has not only diagnosed the
situation properly. but has avoided
folly in the proposed remedy is also
gratifying. Hitherto it has been hard
to convince the people that the inter-
ests of labor and capital are in GER
tain cases identical. Never before
have labor and capital found a man
as in this instance, so pleasing TO
them both on account of his good
sense and eminent justice. We are
convinced that the New York situa-
ton is typical of the average condi-
tions all over the country. "Bin's all
right"

Tight land should be broken deep.
Sandy land should be broken shall

All the cultivation should be
done before the crop is planted.
The whole secret of success rests
in that one thing. After the

then cultivation should cease.
After the crop comes up and until
it is so high as to be injured, cult

THE INSTITUTE.
Professor John d. Tinsley. of the
Of the Agricultural College and
Experimental Station. Lectured
to Quay County Farmers on
How to Farm in Quay Co.

Prof. John ID. Tinsley, OF the
Department of the Soils and
Physics of the Agricultural College
and Experimental Station of New
Mexico, and in charge of the Ter
ritorial Farmers Institutes, held a
Farmers Institute at Tucumcari,
Monday, January 10th, and deliv-
cred a very instructive lecture on
farming-how to farm in Quay
county. The attendance was quite
small, but those progressive farm
ers who are sufficiently interested
in lettering their condition, we're
we'll paid for the time so spent.
His lecture was divided under
three heads, what to plant, how to
prepare the ground for planting,
and how to take care of the crop
after it is planted.
Under the first head he discuss
ed the question of what is the best
crops to plant for good returns and
profit. He said that the question
now is how to make a crop, but
that in a few years the question
will be how to get rid of it at a
good profit. He said that freight
rates must be taken into consider
alton when the crop to be planted
is being decided. Stuff must be
planted, as far as possible, to sup
ply the home market, and there
fore a great diversity of crops
should be planted, but, however,
the overstocking of the home mar
ket with perishable stuff must
likewise be guarded against. He
said that the freight is so high,
that if this is to be a wheat country,
we must mill our wheat at home
our corn, we must feed at home,
He warned the farmers against
raising feeders on the farm, thai
it is better to buy them from the
range, and only use the product o.
the farm to put on fat. He warn,
ed against feeding too many nogs.

tie.
Under the division of his subject
how to prepare the soil and how tc
take care of the crop, he stated
that the question of farming in thi.
country resolves itself into two
propositions, How to get tn,
rainfall into the ground, and how
to keep it there?" He said il
part: The prairies have beer
packed by the action of the ele
ments for centuries, and for a goo'
long time cattle ranging upon then
have continued to pack the soil
until it has become almost imper
vious to the rainfall; it has a water
proof surface. Now the very frs
requisite is to break up the sol
and create a more porus condition

Addresses in New York

New York, Jan. Governor
Hughes has accepted two invitations
for addresses in New York tomor-
row. One of them will be before the
Armstrong association in the inter
est of negro education in the south,
and the other before the West End
Women's Republican club.
Other speakers at the Armstrong
meeting are expected to be Booker

work at Tuskegee Institute; Colonel
Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, who has
not spoken from a New York plat
form in several years; Cardinal Glib
bons, and Bishop Abraham Grant of
Indiana. Ex-Mayor Low, who is
chairman of the Tuskegee board OF
trustees, will preside at the meet
ing, which will be held in Carnegie
hall A chorus of Hampton students
will sing negro songs between the
addresses.
The dinner of the West End
Women's Republican club will be
held at the Hotel Astor, 1t will be
the first banquet ever given by re-
publican women in New York, and
their invitation to Governor Hughes
to be the principal speaker is con-
sidered as an expression of their
opinion on the presidential situa-
ton. Congressman Bennet, Walter

THE BILL CARRIED
RESOLUTION REQUIRING STATE
MENT AS TO ALLOTMENT
OF PANAMA BONDS
TO AMEND PENAL CODE
The House Committee Weak ems in
Its Opposition and Southern
Democrats Win Their
Point.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Senator
Culberson yesterday secured the
passage of his resolution directing
the secretary of the treasury tC
communicate to the senate the
amount of circulating notes issued
by each national bank to which was
awarded Panama bonds in conse-
gu ence of the award to them of such
bonds.
Mr.. Culberson first inquired
whether the secretary had responded
to the resolution calling for specific
information concerning the Panama
bond issue and was told by the vice
president that no such reply had
come to his desk.
Senator Aldrich stated that he ex-
pected the report yesterday and he
did not know the reason for it's de-
lay He would withdraw his objec-
ton to action in the Culberson resol-
ution.
So persistent have been the eff
forts made in the house to amend
the bill codifying the penal laws OF
the United States that the commit
tee on revision of laws yesterday
consented to let down the bars, and
as a result the measure was chang
ID ~, n,,to nj ~ in, 10 re
The pacific attitude of the commit
tee in this regard served to modify
the opposition members, and in con
sequence the proceedings yesterday
were devoid of the heated arguments
which have characterized the prev
ious debates. When the house, at
4:50 p. M, adjourned there were
pending a number of other import
ant amendments, which seemed to
meet with no opposition by the COM
mittee, but which were passed over
until today in order that the men,
bers might have time to consider
them carefully. The portions of the
bill which attracted the most atten-
ton were those covering the giving
and accepting of bribes by senators
and members. 1t is to the amend
ments touching these questions thai
the house tomorrow will devote it
self upon resuming consideration OF
the bill.

WINTER TOURISTS
People From the North Are Flock

San Antonio, Texas, Jan 16--
Winter tourists have been flocking
into San Antonio since the holidays
They are chiefly wealthy people
from Kansas City, ST. Louis, Chi
cago and the east. Some of them
have leased furnished houses and
settled down for several months.
They have broAshs horses and au-
tomobiles with them, and are en-

the utmost. The embargo that this
city has placed on consumptives has
apparently not decreased the num-
ber of winter tourists since a good
many who did not come here before
now come because the sick are not
taken. Sanatoria for these latter
have been established in the hill
country to the northwest and they
are practically excluded from the

here, very strong proof that the fin

Election to Decide Salary.

Vicksburg, Miss, Jan. ia
large proportion of the legal voters
of Vicksburg cast ballots in special
election today in order to express
their opinion of the salary received
by single city official. The pay en-
velope of the city assessor was the
issue in this battle of ballots. In the
past that official has been receiving
about $4,000 year. The city faith
ers held that was too much, and that
$2,500 would be about right. The
assessor objected to this cut in his
pay and appealed to the governor,
with the result that special elec-
ton was ordered to decide the mo-
mentous question.
