speed limit.

SEEING THE ELEPHANT.

Do you remember the story Of the
three blind men who went to ''see" the
elephant?
One of the blind men took the ele-
plant by the ears and. passing his
hand over them. said. The elephant is
wide and fiat like pancake"
Another put his hand on the crea-
ture's trunk and said: you are Ais
taken. brother. The elephant is large
and round and tapers 10 a point"
The third blind man seized the ele-
phant as TO his tail and said: "You are
both mistaken. The elephant is round
indeed. but he is small and long like a
hoe handle"
And they went away. each convinced
he had seen the elephant and disput-
ing with the others as TO what the
elephant might be like
We are all more or less blind.
Each Of us sees only part OF the
truth. And. seeing in part. we dispute
with our fellows concerning the shape
Of the elephant.
1t is because we have different an
giles Of vision.
We see men and things from our
own individual standpoint. and then
we think we are right and the others
wrong.
And we are thus warped in our be.
liefs and prejudices.
A few years ago the writer made q
visit to a relative who lived ON bis
farm" Of twenty-four acres Few
miles north Of New York city. Will,
there he told Of wheatdelds in the
northwest thousands OF acres in ex
tent.
It was evident the New York rela
tive. who had never been outside hi'
state. believed his cousin to be stretch
ing the truth out OF all proportion.
And. on the other hand. a western
farmer. being told this New York maj
had become fairly wealthy on hi
twenty-four acres. laughed heartily a
the Joke"
It depends on how you see the ele
phant
And the moral?
Cultivate the broad vision. the wild
horizon. else you may become no
only narrow minded. but opinionate'
and uncharitable.
For instance
You see a single phase Of some per
sons character--a one sided view.
may be you see the weaknesses AM
overlook the good points. You judg
the person urjustly.
In seeing the elephant do not dc
eide until you have seen more tha
his ears, his trunl, or hls tal.

Following the lead OF the Wilmington

garding the respective merits Of the two
measures, with the preponderance OF evil
dence in favor Of the Donigan bill.
Business is being hustled along in the
legislature now, and adjournment at least
a week earlier than two years ago is pre-
dicted.
The proposed extension of the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad through the Allegash
country will not be built at present, as the
bill asking for an extension of the rebate
of taxes on the system was indefinitely
postponed by the committee on railroads
Wednesday afternoon at the request of
Hugh Chaplin, esq, attorney for the road.
Mr.. Chaplin explained briefly that the
bill had met with serious opposition, and
that this opposition had taken such form
that even il the legislature should pass the
bill, the efforts of the road to get financial
backing for this extension would have
been seriously injured.
The proposition to rebate taxes of rail-
roads was condemned by the lower branch
of the legislature Thursday morning, the
house going on record by vote OF 1873 to
1 against future legislation along the line
of taxation rebates to railroads.
