Here's a Good One.

A friend of mine told me of curl
GUS experience. He was carefully
stalking big bull elephant in a large
herd, when they got his wind, and
big COW elephant charged him. He
jumped behind large tree as the
elephant reached him, and, being un-
able to stop herself in time, the ele-
plant drove her tusks with such force
into the tree that they snapped on
close to her head. The elephant was
stunned for a moment, but lickily
turned and galloped after the fast re-
treating herd, leaving him the posses
sor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued
at about $250.-Circle Magazine.

Question 40 to Happenings at
Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is Of q
serious turn Of mind, but he has a bit
Of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet. he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House newspaper
man asked:
"Mr. Postmaster General, can't you
give US some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re.
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
tance."
do you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his U.S.
ual serenity he said:
do you suppose we we're all muz-
zled?"

eve get back to Jersey City at
1928, and then we get our regular
sleep, a good stretch of nearly four
hours, for we don't start out again
until 4:15. We keep blankets and pill
lows in the baggage car. You may
not have noticed it, but the backs of
the seats in the smoking car lift out,
and on two seats we can make a very
comfortable bed.
NOISY? Well, the shrieking of 10.
comotives and the rattle of cars over
| switches seem to affect us as much
as the croaking of the frogs and the
singing of the tree toads affect the
dweller in the country. We get a
good, sound sleep of at least three
hours, and sometimes more.
"Once in while the passengers by
the early morning train surprise us at
our toilet, and have to hustle to get
the tail-lights on and the car lamps
lit before the train pulls out. We go

half before we start in again.

nights sleep and quit work, when we
reach Jersey City at about eight, in

work in nap before we start out

whole day is ours.

The Earth and the Moon.

That the earth must shine on the
moon even as the moon shines on the
earth is obvious. To detect this light
from the earth on the lunar surface
and scientifically prove its existence
is another matter. 1t is interesting to
find that recent number of French
astronomical paper contains two pho
tographs of parts of the moon illum-
mated by earth light. They were
taken by M. Quenisset at the Juvisy
observatory.

caught momentary glimpse of the
