FAREWELL, ELEPHANTS.
Working Behemoths Are Fast Vanish

The laboring elephants are in their
prime when they are % years old. They
are expensive to feed, literally eating
their heads off. 1t is declared that an
elephant eats a quarter of his weight in
feed every day. Certain it is that the
average amount required to keep one of
the gigantic workers in good condition
is 500 pounds a day. This, at ltast, is
what the Southern Workman says.

Of his massive body and immense
strength. he Is timid in the extreme and
becomes frenzied at the sight of a rat,
a Dog or an automobile. Every elephant
has a small hole in the side of its head,
from which periodically a white fluid
is discharged. Unless the animal is
chained during the entire period of this
discharge he is liable to turn rogue and
kill everybody within reach. At other
times he IS easy to manage. The time,

FRENZHD ACT OF FATHER-iN-

AID IN DENVER.
BOTH ARE AGED PEOPLE.
SUICIDE AND SHOOTING DUE TO
TEMPORARY INSANITY FROM
SUFFERING.

Denver.-Suddenly gone mad from
long suffering with disease attend
ant upon old age, John Collins, sixty
eight years old, Monday morning shot
and perhaps fatally wounded Miss Sa-
rah Nichols, aged seventy, the woman
who had patiently nursed him in his
illness, and then sent bullet through
his own brain, dying instantly.
John Collins was the father of Mrs.
Jesse F. Mcdonald, wife OF former Gov
Jesse F. Mcdonald Miss Nichols is
maiden aunt of Mrs. Mcdonald, and
has been foster mother to her niece
since her sister, Mrs. McDonald's
rIother, died when Mrs. Mcdonald was
child.
The tragedy occurred Monday morn
ing about o'clock, while Miss Nichols
was resting in the drawing room be-
fore breakfast. After firing one shot
which struck Miss Nichols just be-
low the right temple, Collins ran down
stairs to the basement and shot him
self through the head
Mrs. Mcdonald was the first to
reach the side of her aunt. For time
she believed that she had suffered a
hemorrhage and not until Miss Nichols
told the story of the shooting in a few
brief sentences did Mrs. Mcdonald
realize the truth. She at once sum-
noned DR.. c. A. Ellis. Doctor Ellis
and John R. Gemmill, roomer in the
Mcdonald home, were the first to find
Collins dead body.
The police were notified and Miss
Nichols was rushed to st. Luke's hos
pital. An operation was performed
Monday afternoon and the bullet re-
moved.
Mrs. Mcdonald is confined to her
room, but held up well under the
shock. Mr. Mcdonald was in Leadville
when the shooting occurred. He
boarded the first train for Denver and
arrived here at $50 o'clock Monday
| night The Mcdonald residence is at
1151 Logan street.
Late Monday night some hope was
held out at the hospital for Miss Mich
ols surviving.
Thorough investigation has con
viEced the police and the coroner that
the tragedy of Monday was simply the
act of man, throughout life of a most
lovable and tender character, whose
declining days were burdened by dis
ease until finally his mind snapped
under the tension of long suffering.

woman. the Viscountess de Raine.
vile, has just died and left her fortune
of several millions, including racing
stable, TO your eXcellency."
When Monseigneur Annette under
stood that the legacy was left to him
personally and not to the church, he
refused to accept it. But just after his
secretary had left the archbishopric
to communicate Monseigneur Amette's
decision to the executors of the will,
word came that the court had ratified
the bequest, so there was nothing to
do but to accept the legacy. including
the embarrassing item of the race
horses.
The archbishop Immediately gave or
ders for the sale of the stud, also of
the yiscountess' properties. comprising
much real estate, breeding farm and
a historic chateau at Allonville in Nor
mandy. The legacy, converted into
cash will be used for various charit-
able organizations.
If the august and unwilling owner of
race track favorites fancied that he
could wash his hands of proprietary
duties SO easily, he soon discovered his
mistake. His man of affairs soon
came to him with a complication. The
horses were to be put at auction at a
big establishment in the Rue de Pom.
thieu. But some critics had pointed
out to this man of affairs that the auc.
tioneer was a Jew. Was this a serious
enough consideration to warrant the
intervention OF the archbishop? 1t
evidently was, for few days later the
honor of auctioneering the horses was
awarded 10 rival establishment,
where the sale is TO take place shortly.
The collection consists of 25 horses.
and by a curious coincidence the De
Raineville jockeys always have worn
violet-the archbishops color.
During the last years of her life the
viscountess. a woman in her seventies,
very naturally had not taken as much
interest in the horses as her husband
had done. He was a staunch royalist
deputy and his wife apparently was a
strong sympathizer with his anti-re-
publican ideas. for she delighted in
giving names which were caricatures
or prominent governmental perSonali-
ties to her horses. Clemenceau was
transformed into Clemencette and
Caillaux became Caillautette.
Because of the viscountess' lack of
interest in race track triumphs or de-
feats. very few of the horses which
will be auctioneered are particularly
celebrated. although former victories
of the De Raineville stable still are re-
membered in sporting circles. Since
her husbands death the viscountess
has paid more attention to the rearing
of blooded horses than to racers. Her
farm at Allonville is one of the best in
France and many of the De Rainevllle
colts are sold during the summer sea
