THE DAISY.

A daisy lived just on the edge OF
a garden. Inside the palings grew
some gaudy peonies and proud lilies,
and the daisy did not think to envy
them, but was very happy. The larks
sang overhead and the daisy listened,
but was quite content to stay in the
grass where it was.
When lark few down to the
daisy and said: 20, what q beauti-
full flower" the peonies grew redder
with anger and the tulips lifted their
heads In proud disdain. Just then a
girl came into the garden with a pair
of shears and cut OF every tulip and
peony.
The next morning the daisy heard
mournful "tweet, tweet, !" and, look
ing up saw the lark imprisoned In
a cage. The boy had caught him,
but they had gone of and left not
drop Of water, and the pretty bird
nearly died from thirst. When the
boys came back they cut up a piece
OF turf with the daisy in the center
and gave 1t to the lark. Pull out
the daisy" said one. No" said the
other, "the lark may like it, When
the lark found the modest daisy In
his cage he kissed It with his beak
and sang softly.-August Miller in
the Brooklyn Eagle.
ELEPHANTS STRANGE DEATH.
-, A 4 :, !, i, liant a 20
markable story concerning what IS
declared to be the deliberate suicide
of an elephant.
The great annual mela or fair at
Batesar In the northwest provinces
Is held on the bank OF Jumna. which
Is there crossed by bridge OF boats
At the side of the river opposite the
fair there is a slope down which the
elephants bringing visitors to the
bridge slide into the river and swim
across. A young elephant, making
the trip for the first time. trumpeted
angrily when his trappings were strip
ped from him preparatory to his
swim. but seeing other elephants
crossing the stream ahead Of him he
plunged in and followed.
When he reached the opposite bank,
however. he swerved around and
swan back again. The mahout
sought to force him around again,
but without result, and when within
a yard or two Of the bank the ele.
plant, after trumpeting again, plung-
ed down into the river. just in the
nick of time the mahout was rescued
by means of long bamboo. but the
elephant was drowned, to all appear-
ance by his own deliberate action.

Washington dispatches tell US that
when the Honorable william Howard
Taft is inaugurated the grand pageant,
Will hesa military display to make the
Kaiser green with envy. Every State
d to be levied on for national guards
men and cavalry, and the splendid spec
tacle In Pennsylvania avenue will be
something to see.
Four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt, for
the first time in the history Of our
country, made the general stan Of the
army his marshals for the great In
augural parade, and national guards
represented almost every State Of the
Mississippi. But It seems that Mr..
Roosevelt is to be outdone by Mr.. Taft.
Troopers from every State Of the
Union will make the most inspiring and
martial display In the annals Of Amer
len. A huge array of horse and foot
will render the occasion more like the
triumphal entry Of victorious Caesar
into imperial Rome than the solemn
ordination Of new servant OF the
American people into the duties to
which he has been elected.
This kind Of display il foreign to
the spirit of democracy. The tendency
to pomp and panoply is deplorable. the

stories from the Philippines during the
