things are very different. He was not allowed to have attorneys to examine witnesses or argue points, but he could and would take such advice as could be useful in other ways, and this he did, He did so properly, but in insisting on his disadvantage from not being allowed to appear by coun- sel he seemed to confuse the two kinds of assistance, both valuable to his purpose, but one refused, while the other could not be restrained. His position would have been just as strong without that repeated protest, and no criticism would have been possible.

 Breaks Loose From Menagerie.

 Riverside. Cal, April 17.-As a result of fire at the Standard Oil compa- ny's storage tanks herd of elephants were stampeded, l.. J. Worsley lies at the City hospital fatally burned and Miss Ella Gibbs, church deaconess, is dead. A sullen boom marked the explosion of the large oil tank. Wors- ley was driver of the delivery wagon, from which the fire was communicated to the tanks, and was hurled many yards from the spo' and was picked up with his clothing ablaze. The flames spread immediately to the tanks, which instantly became a mass of flames.
 A circus three blocks distant was about to open. The explosion and the fire caused the showmen to lower the tents after dispersing the crowd which had assembled. The herd of elephants became uncontrolls ble, and they dashed to the east side of the town, knocking down fences. outhouses and despoiling orchards that lay in their path. Mary persons narrowly escaped the infuriat- ed animals. In short time, how ever, all but the largest of the ele- plants were rounded up
 The leader of the herd had changed his course and entered the center of the city, one mile distant. He entered the court of the Glenwood hotel, one of the famous hostelries of the coast Miss Gibbs was in the yard in front of the house. The elephant pinned her against the house between his tusks, threw her to the ground and trampled upon her, crushing her chest so that she died. The animal then proceeded to the doorway, the guests running, panic stricken, indoors. D. P Chap man, a guest of the house, attempted to swerve the animal from the court He was knocked down and had several ribs broken and otherwise injured.
 The beast crashed through the door. walked through the barber shop and out on the main street, crossed the street and crashed through the heavy  plate glass window in a store Before being rounded up at a downtown pub lie stable the animal trampled on an- other man and seriously gored him with his tuSks
 One of the keepers attempted 10 sub due the animal. hut was hurled over q high fenee. sustaining painful injuries Not until four other elephants were brought to the stable WAS the huge beast got under control and taken u inc circus grounds
 By this time the euire town was in an uprOar The women of the east side were afraid tO venture into the streets fearing that the herd had not been cap tured
 The fire at the oil tanks continued until tsD-OD0 gallons of oil were. con sumed- The oil loss wss s1.Ooo. and the loss on the buildings is $4.op0.

worn, and they proved to be very
presentable fit.
Before the curtain was rung up Ben
ton found time to 60 over some Of the
more important scenes Of the play. He
was very much relieved to find him
self quite at home in both lines and
situations.
A short time later he stood In the
wings listening to the announcement
Of the accident and the request that
the audience would kindly overlook
any lack of smoothness in the part of
Henry. as the gentleman who was to
play 1t had stepped into the breach at
moments notice. Then. after few
hurried words of direction from the
stage manager, two very furrled
young people took their places for the
opening scene and the curtain went up.
Now. there are certain psychological
processes which prevail under certain
conditions. We are mystifled by their
apparent unaccountablllty. We raise
our hands in helpless incredulity and
exclaim, How inexplicablew when
there is nothing strange aboutit If we
remember that youth and proplnquity
work hand in hand to carry out the
universal behest. One each at least of
these processes and conditions con-
eronted Benton as he stood on the lawn
before the clubhouse an hour later.
He had done well, and he felt strange
ly exalted. He knew he was John
Benton, but it was new personality
that cloaked him. He was in loye-in
love with girl whom he had met yes
terday for the first time-or was 1t to-
day? He was waiting-waiting impa-
tiently and giving voice to his tnmOst'
thoughts in words that were strangely
familiar. He saw her coming slowly
through the trees and started forward
to meet her. They seated themselves
on the clubhouse steps. They fenced
with each other lightly. but with an
undercurrent of feeling. He loved her
he loved her--and In a moment he
would tell her SO His heart bounded
for he knew what her answer would
be-
"It is only since yesterday, but 1t Is
enough. A week, month, year, and
1t would be the same. A hundred
years from now, and 1t will still be the
same. | love you. viii you be my
wifep
She arose, and he followed her. Her
eyes were cast down, and her hands
hung limp by her side. He seized
them in bis own, and his compelling
gaze forced her to raise her eyes to
his.
Answer me-" he said.
II love you" she said falteringIy as
she swayed toward him, and he clasp
ed her in his arms, and only his ears
heard the added dear"
He kissed her full upon the lips.
There was roar of applause From
the wings people focked upon the
stage clad in golfng attire, their faces
strangely red and white. Then he re-
membered. Still holding the girl by
the hand, he led her to the front. IL
was his place to repeat the epilogue.
The others formed half circle be-
hind them. He spoke:
I'm what may seem a very short
space Alice and Henry have met, loved
and settled the question, quite to their
own satisfaction. May we hope that
the match and the manner Of Its max
ing meet with your appreciation? And as
the curtain falls let these words, typi-
flying the end Of the old and the begin /,
ming Of the new. close our story-'and |
so they were married."

THH MAGIC MIRROR.

There was once a little maiden.
And she had q mirror bright;
II was trimmed about with silver;
Twas her pride and her delight;
But she found two fairy sisters
Lived within this pretty glass.
And very different faces showed.
To greet the little lass.
If she was sweet and sunny,
Why, 1t was sure to be
The smiling sister that looked out,
Her happy face to see;
But If everything went c~riss-cross,
And she wore a frown or pout,
Alas, alas! within the glass,
The frowning one looked out.
Now this little maiden loved so much
The smiling face to see,
That she resolved with all her heart
A happy child to be;
To grow more sweet and loving,
She tried with might and main,
Till the frowning sister went away,
And ne'er came back again.
