Gate park yesterday.
The entire herd of about sixty elk
belonging to the city escaped from it's
corral and the animals ran in all direc-
tons, seemingly enjoying their unus-
ual liberty to the fullest extent.
Soon some of the gentle ones were
rounded up without much trouble, but
two of the fleetest led their pursuers
merry chase up Nineteenth avenue
and escaped temporarily into the Su-
tro forest. Another spent the night in
the brakes near the stadium.
Superintendent John McLaren of

his automobile, but was quickly dis
tanced by the swift animals he selected

AUT0IST IN NEW YORK
WORKS A NEW SWINDLE
Gets SIS on Brass Watch So He Can
Have Car lowed
Home

NEW YORK, June 1.-The automo-
bile has brought in a new swindling
game, which appeared for the first
time last night, when motor car
stopped at drug store in Broadway
and its driver told the druggist that
the machine was broken down; that he
had only $40 and that it would cost $25
TO have it towed to his home in New
Jersey.
He produced what seemed to be a
massive gold watch and asked the
druggist to lend him SIS on it, saying
that his valet would be back within a
few hours and redeem it.
After the man had received the SIS
the druggist discovered that the watch
was a cheap brass affair worth prob
ably less than 81 and would not run.
The police were consulted.

EXPENSIVE MEMORIALS.
Great Statue to Queen Victoria Is
 Nearing Completion.

From Tit-Bits.
 After eight years work the Queen Victoria memorial in front of Bucking- ham palace is nearing completion, and 1t will not be long ere Londoners and visitors to the metropolis are able to view one of the finest monuments in the world. Altogether it will cost a quarter of a million sterling, and $50 tons of marble will have been used in the construction of figures and statu- cites which go to make up this me- morial to The Great White Queen
 The figure of her late majesty will be no less than 171s feet in height, and will depict her dressed in robes of state, sitting enthroned with orb and scepter. All the world was ransack ed for a 70-ton block of fiawless marble from which the statue might be carved; but such a>block could not be obtained, and consequently MT. Thomas Brock, the famous sculptor. has been com spelled to use several smaller DOCKS, 'the largest of which weighs 25 tons.
 The Queen Victoria memorial is prob ably the most costly in the kingdom, although the famous Albert memorial must have cost between 100000 and f500 ,000 The cost, provided by public sub scription, was given as f120,00O, but it is asserted that Queen Victoria's pri- vate contribution exceeded that amount. The Albert Hall is really part of the Albert memorial for 1t was after the exhibition of 1851 that Prince Albert proposed the erection of a great hall for music, and when he had passed away national subscription was raised to carry out his wish, 100000 being obtained
 A grateful nation, too, subscribed f45,0 ,000 for the erection of the Nelson column In Trafalgar square. while the fact should not be overlooked that every penny of the f1O,000 spent on the statue of Achilles in Hyde park was raised by the women of England.
 This was not the only honor done to the memory of Wellington. The statue in front of the royal exchange cost 11.000, while among other memorials to the great soldier might be men, toned the arch on the north side of the nave in St. Pauls cathedral, which cost f2O,O0O, and the college near Sandhurst, for the education of sons Of officers, on which 100000 was spent.

HOME TESTING. A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important question of coffee, whether or not it is really the hid den cause of physical ails and approach ing fixed disease, one should make a test of iu days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum.
 If relief follows you may know to a. certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take 1t back to your heart again If you like to keep sick.

 ''Then l read so many articles about Postum that I decided to give it fair trial I had not used 1t two weeks in place of coffee until I began to feel like a different person. The headaches and nervousness disappeared and whereas I used to be sick two or three days out of a week while drinking coffee, I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week. thanks to Postum.
