POISONING A
BIC ELEPHANT

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-It took 500
grains of cyanide of potassium. a
deadly poison to kill the Gypsy Queen,
trick elephant this afternoon, in exc
cution of the death sentence passed
on her for the murder of her keeper,
Robert Schiel, on October 20 last.
Less than one grain is ordinarily
fatal to man, and the first convulsive
symptoms supervene almost before the
victim can set down the glass from
which he swallowed. But the Queen
swayed backward ana forward, flap
ping her big ears for ten minutes be-
fore she showed the least uneasiness,
and it was A minutes before she was
pronounced dead.
The poison was given her in three
pailfuls of bran mash in which had
been sprinkled 100 capsules, each of
five grains of cyanide. She had been
starved for "a hours and ate greedily.
At the end of ten minutes she shivered
in all her vast bulk of 1850 pounds,
her knees weakened, ler trunk grew
I rigid, she rolled her eyes and fell. In
the next two minutes she got up four
times, struggling against the chains
that bound her. At the end of the 20
minutes her breathing was impercep-
tible, but A minutes after her first
swallow she winked when her trainer
passed his hand before her eyes. That
was the last sign of life.
The Queen was 81 years old, born
in Africa, and one of the largest ele-
plants in captivity; she stood 8 feet
Z inches high. Of recent years her
temper had not improved, and last Oc-
tober she picked up an unaccustomed
keeper who had been warned not to
go near her, slammed him against the
wall of her cell and then trod him
into pulp. A few days ago she grab

(Des Moines Capital.)

For sample of concentrated sell
fishness we refer the reader to the
attitude of the Democrats in Massa-
chusetts on the Tariff question.
We publish in this issue a state
ment on the part of Governor elect
Fnss of that state. The governor
elect is a sensational politician. He
is a manufacturer of patented arti-
Giles that do not need Protection. He
is rich and independent. He wants
to benefit Foss and his factory. This
man Foss has demanded that Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge withdraw from
the field as a candidate for re-eIec-
ton to the office of United States Sc
nator. Foss intimates that unless
Lodge withdraws he CFoss) will re-
fuse to sign his certificate of election.
Governor-elect F'oss in his address
to the people says:
The issues on which this fight was
made, on which I was elected were
an honest Tariff revision downward
lower duties on the necessities of
life, free raw materials, an untaxed
food supply, reciprocity with Canada
and more democracy in our form of
If Eugene N. Foss had been run
ming for governor of iowa on the plat
form submitted above, he would have
been defeated by majority of more
than 100000. The farmers of Iowa
can see whittier we are drifting.
If MASSACHUSETTS is determined to
nave Free-Trade on everything she

has to buy and Protection on every
thing she has to sell, the farmers Of
the Middle West VIII adopt for their
banner Free Trade in everything.
And they will give Massachusetts a
dose Of her own medicine.
1t is well enough that Massachu-
sets has outlined her program. Mas
sachusetts will make Free Trade with
Canada an issue and on that issue It
will not be necessary to inquire
where Iowa will be.
Governor-elect Foss has outlined
his political opinions and has made
them correspond with the interest Of
his own factories. This he calls pa
triotism. We are not fighting Mas
sachusetts' battles in regard to the.
senatorship. The people of Massa-
chusetts will determine whether they
want Senator Lodge continued or not.
But we are concerned on the issues
raised by Foss.
Free-Trade with Canada and Free
Trade on raw materials would prac-
tically destroy protection as far as
Iowa is concerned, and after a full
and free debate Iowa would tell Mas
sachusetts that Protection must be
for all or for none.

to the station on the run. Miller, re-
turning to his "ditty box" which had
been doing duty as a writing desk,
was surprised to find the pipe almost
empty. 1t was full when he went to
quarters. He took a look about and
saw all the men had their pipes. When
he looked at the monkey it did not
look at him in the eye as it usually
did, but turned it's head In a guilty
manner. Yeoman Miller examined the
pipe and found the marks of little
sharp teeth on the reed stem.
Next day, after catching the monkey
smoking his pipe again, Yeoman Mil

a pipe, and so he made him one from
an ivory nut. with a reed STEM

KANSAS CITY, MO-When Willie
II Boy got married he bought his
wife flowers, of course. And after the
wedding Mr.. Willie Boy naturally de-
cided to preserve the flowers to look
at for all time by picking them in
alcohol. That was all right-it didn't
cost much, just 81 or $3-but there
was q 700-mile trip before MI. and
Mrs. Willie Boy got home.
At first they decided they'd pack
the treasure in the brass jardiniere
ART sent and bring it home in the
bottom Of one of the trunks. Then
Emaline-that's her first name-re-
membered that among other things it
might explode and ruin her perfectly
good rose-colored dress that Doc
went crazy over before she was mar
ried, and that there was a 26-inch will
low plume in the same trunk, not to
speak of pretty coat, a lavender
gown, few more hats, a couple of
hundred doodads or some more
clothes. So the natural consequence
came. Willie Boy carried the remains.

1t might break there. He wanted to
stay in the Pullman, but he couldn't.
He had to stay outside and hold the
picked roses. Night came and Willie
Boy was sleepy. He went to bed. but
he didn't sleep; he was too busy hang
ing the roses out of the window to
keep the alcohol cool.
Kansas City came, and then home !;
Emaline walked into the house and
Willie Boy followed with the picked
once-were roses.
'What'u we do with 'em?" he asked.
why, put them in the attic, of
course" Emaline answered.
Willie Boy hadn't been married
very long and he wasn't Independent.
Still there surged into his face the
blood of battle and his voice splut-
tered as he spoke.

And that's the reason Emaline cried
