A Curious 1rap.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive is to be seen
near Ayuthia, formerly the capital of
Siam. The labyrinth is formed of a
double row Of immense tree trunks
set firmly in the ground, the space be-
tween them gradually narrowing.
Where it begins, at the edge of the
forest, the opening of the labyrinth is
more than a mile wide, but as it APP.
proaches Ayuthia it becomes so mar
now that the elephants cannot turn
around. Suspecting no danger, the
wild elephant enters the broad open.
ing at the forest end, lured on by a
tame elephant. The gradual narrow
ing Of the boundaries is not observed
until the elephant finds himself in
close quarters. Having reached the
end Of the labyrinth, the tame elephant
is allowed to pass through gate
while men lying in wait slip shackles
over the feet Of the captives The
sport is dangerous one, for the en-;
ragged elephants sometimes crush the
hunters under their feet.

Bull Batting.

Although bull batting was a cruel
pastime, it was also fulfilling Of the
law, for formerly no butcher was al
lowed to offer for sale the flesh of any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading Of the animal in a fury was
supposed to have some influence on the
flesh. In a similar belief the flesh Of a
hunted hare was thought to be superior
in flavor to that of one that had been
shot, and a present Of ga hunted hare
was considered to be special compli-
ment. In the records Of the corpora
ton Of Leicester, England, the follow
ing order appears: AT common. hall,
held on Thursday before ST. Simon and
st. Jude, 1857, no butcher to- kill bull
TIL baited. s" At Winchester it was or
dered (reign Of Henry VIII.) .'that
from hensforth Their shall be no bull
stake set before any mayors dore to
bayte any bull, but onlie at the bull
ringe within the. saide cytie. .

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR LACLEDE?
BrookfieId Company Offers to Furnish Power,
Equipment 10 Be Owned Here

"A meeClnS OI DuSlHeSS LIou was
held last Friday night, presided
over by FL. G. Lomax, to in
formally discuss proposition
from Superintendent Percy Mark
ham of the Brookfield Electric
Light company to furnish Laclede
with electric lights. To be more
exact, the company wishes to fur
nish the power, the equipment to
be owned by the city or by cor
poration, as best suits the people
here.
Those present at the meeting
were strongly in favor of the pro-
position, provided the rate asked
is found reasonable and the ex-
pense of installing the service will
not exceed the estimate furnished.
Municipal ownership was the plan
favored, the city to vote bonds for
the required amount, and to in
stall and maintain the necessary
equipment.
This station plan seems
to offer many advantages over a
small individual plant, chief of
which are continuous service,
twenty-four hours every day, and
much smaller cost, both of in
stallation and maintenance.
A committee, composed of H.
Eceles, F. F. Pratt and VIM.
Kraft, was appointed to investigate
cost and comparative rates and to
find out if the demand for lights
would justify the expense; and a
mass meeting Of citizens will be
called in the near future to decide
what shall be done.
The city has, at various times,
experimental with street lights of
various kinds, none of which
proved satisfactory. If the plan
above described is carried out La
clede can have as good lights as
any town, and at a very moderate
cost. Electric lights are better,
cleaner and safer than any other
kind for business houses and
private residences, The sub
station plan is being generally
adopted on account of the better
service furnished and the reduced
expense. Municipal ownership is
better than turning the streets over
to a corporation for their own use,
and, if the plan meets the favor of
a sufficient number, we may have a
chance to vote on a proposition of
this kind in the near future.

BensOn-LoOmis Weddinq

An event that will linger pleas
antly in the memory of those pres
ent was the marriage of Mr.. Ernest
E. Benson and Miss Edith c..
Loomis, at the home of the brides
parents, Capt. and Mrs. A. l..
Loomis, six miles northwest of La
clede, Wednesday evening, July
20, 1910, Rev. L. Powell, pastor
of the M. E. church of Laclede,
officiating.
Exactly at eight O'Clock, as Men
delssohn's wedding march, rendered
by Miss Grace johnson of Mead
vile, was being played, the young
couple marched into the presence
Of about forty invited guests,
where the words were spoken that
made them one. After congratula-
tions, an elegant lunch was served,
a social hour enjoyed and the
guests departed wishing the happy
couple long and prosperous jour
ney through life.
The groom has grown from boy
hood in this community, and is
cashier Of the Allen Benson Bank
ing company. He is a young man
of sterling business qualities, and
his life is above reproach. The
bride is too we'll known here to
need any words of praise, as her
beautiful life in the home and
among her friends speaks for itself.
She was dressed in pure white and
carried a bouquet of brides roses,
emblematical of her pure life. The
presents were too numerous to
enumerate. They included things
useful, ornamental and beautiful.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benson will spend
a few weeks at Rockford Camp,
Lake Geneva, Wis, where they
will be joined later by Mrs. V. M.
Benson and daughter, Miss Susie.
They carry with, them the best
wishes of the entire community for
a long and happy life. May the
cares of life rest lightly upon them
and their pathway be strewn with
blessings that shall enrich and
make beautiful the later years of
the journey. x
