Message Urging Change
in the Measure.

Washington, June 7.-Presidenl
Taft to day sent special message to
Congress in which he recommended

AS it stands in the bill, the pro-
vision would not take effect for sixty

the railroads on yesterday, whereby
they agreed to withdraw all increas-
ed rates until the new law is signed.

ed. whether in conference or Joint

The total vote in the primary cleo
ton Saturday vii! not exceed 80. 900.
Owing to the storm chat prevailed
over a considerable portion Of the
State Saturday night the returns
are yet incomplete. The election
was surely great slump from the
last two state primaries. The great
difference between the vote of 1906
and 1908 and that of 1910 is wonder
full to contemplate. In 1906 the
vote was l4O,318, while in 1908 il
was 1911. There must have been
some reason for the falling off OF
IGore than 100000 votes in the
course of two years. The people
are wide awake.-Clarksville Leaf

Without an instsNt's hesitation
came the reply;

THE ELEPHANT TURNED.
A Bit Of TreaeHery and Badly Bat
tered Trainer.


Carl Hagenbeck, the eminent
owner, exhibitor and trainer of
wild animals, had many adventures
in his half century OF experience.
Some of them are described in q
book entitled "Beasts and Men"
On more than one occasion an ele-
plant came intentionally near
putting an end to. Mr.. Hagenbeck's 5
career. One of tbs worst accidents
happened at the end of the sixties.
About that time he purchased a
menagerie at Trieste, which includ-
ed niong the other beasts a fe-
male elephant which stood about
eight feet high. 1t seemed to be a
thoroughly good tempered animal,
its only fault being that it occa-
sionally had the sulks-"a not IN
common Characteristic" comments
Mr.. Hagenbeck, Gin all feminine
creatures"
He soon made friends with the
elephant, which he named Lissy,
and he never passed its stall with
out giving t q handful of food He
was therefore, he believed, Justified
in thinking he had quite won its
heart, and as it never showed any
signs of violence it did not occur
to Mr.. Hagenbeck that he might be-
dealing with a, grossly deceitfui
creature.
The elephant was learning a.
trick IN which ID had to swing its
keeper into the air with its trunk
and, then slowly set him upon the
ground again. The word of com
mand which was. given to the beast
when it had to perform this simple
exhibition was:
"Lissy, apportp
Gone day." TO continue In Mr.
Hagenbeck's own words, 81 found
Lissy alone in her stable, the keep

to be raised on high by her, after

Of her trunk, called out the word
