ELEPHANTS TRAINED TO WORK.
Experiment Declared to Have Been
d" Attended with Success.

African elephants, hitherto regarded
as valuable only for their ivory, are
TO- being domesticated at Api, in the
Kongo. A small herd of young ele-
plants has been kept in captivity
there for several ears and finally,
after much effort in training them, sat
~isfactory results have been obtained.
Already the Oldest members OF tho

traction work of the station. They
carry drivers on their backs and pack
saddles with loads. Some draw wag-
onettes and others are trained to draw
the plow. None of the animals Is more
than seven years old and since the In
dian elephants are most efficient at the
adult age, Is years, It Is believed even
better results may be looked for. Nor
tality among the elephants newly cap
tured has been great, and as yet 1t
has not been possible to attempt to
breed them in captivity, but expert

tication; the deaths are now few and
fresh recruits are being constantly
added. Eventually, 1t is expected, ele-
plant caravans will be established.
Success in the undertaking mean a
great deal for the future of the coun-
try. Despite railroads and steamboat
lines, the ,Kongo will always be a
country of forests and of savannas In
tersected with swamps, for the travers

plants thrive. They live especially in
the marshy regions, feeding, on the
grass of the plains in the early morn.

rogue elephants met in the Kongo.
The African species are found gen.

not rare, and witnesses ven affirm
that troops Of several hundred exist.

tragic death, identified the college in
the popular mind with the assassin
ated president henceforth.
Harry Augustus Garfield succeeds
President Henry Hopkins, who died a
month ago. Graduated from Williams
% years ago., Mr.. Garfield is now As
years old.
Born in Hiram, O., Harry Augustus
Garfield returned to his native state
as soon as his legal education was
finished. After his graduation from
Williams he was master for one year
of st. Paul's school, Concord, N. H.,
where he was prepared for college,
then he studied law for a year in
Columbia law school and in the office
of Bangs, Stetson, Tracey & Mac
Veagh. The following year he con-
tinued his law studies at the Inns of
Court, in London, and at Oxford uni
versity, devoting much attention to
the courses in political science. Upon
his return to the United States in the
spring of 1888 he was admitted to the
bar in Ohio.
In June, 1883, he married Miss
Belle H. Mason of Cleveland, daughter
of a leading railroad lawyer. After
his marriage he formed a partnership
with his brother James and began the
practice Of law in Cleveland. They
o on developed a large practice.
Harry Garfield took a keen interest
In politics and was the organizer of
the Municipal association, which de.
feated and broke up the notorious Nc
Kisson gang, then controlling city poll
tics. Until 1903 Harry Garfield served
this association as president and in
1898 he was president also of the
Cleveland chamber of m
In 1903 he retired from the practice
of law to accept the chair of politics
at Princeton university. Here he made
a record for learning and ability by
his lectures on colonial government
and government by party.
The selection of Mr.. Garfield for the
presidency of Williams college is an
other example of the tendency Of New
England institutions of learning to Sc
lect for their heads men of a different
type from the college presidents oil
former years, who were uniformly
clergymen. of little or no experience
with the world outside of college walls
President Eliot of Harvard was a
chemist, President Hadley of Yale was
an economist and President Luther OF
Trinity college (Hartford) was a
mathematician. Outside of New Eng
| land the tendency has been more nro.
nounced.
The college draws students from
every state in the union, as well as
from several foreign countries. Alum,
nj associations Of the college are to
be found In all the large cities of the
United States. Williams has been
called "the cradle of foreign MISSIONS
and its name is mentioned with the
spread Of the missionary movement.

NOT A MIRACLE.
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely Is to cause spells of
Inconsistencies. And to find complete
relief In changing from coffee to Pos
tum is we'll worth recording.
II used to be a great coffee drinker.
SO much so that 1t was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or three times q
day.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. I would not be-
lieve it. and still drank coffee until I
could not leave my room.
"Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation I concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago.. Since then ! have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
II feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. I now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
