sarded me long and seriously.
Tommy said he in a shocked
tone, do you mean to tell me that you
have neglected arranging with the
bath steward for your hour? Heavens,
boy, don't let anyone know it, and I'll
see what can do for you! Didn't you
know it is one of the rules of the boat
that every passenger must take a tub
bath twice day? Dear me, suppose
should have told you! What'll they
do? Well, of course, they. can't drop

Elephants Are Left Handed.

There was a great gathering of big
game hunters at the reception room
of the Uganda railway offices in the
Haymarket to say good-by to Mr.. w.
Buckley, who left for another ele
plant hunting expedition in Central
Africa. In the world of big game
hunters Mr.. Buckley is readily &C.
knowledged to be king. Already about
five hundred elephants have fallen to
his rifle, which is the record for the
world.
Mr.. Buckley is typical hunter
hard and wiry, with keen eyes and
the light, easy tread of the man who
carries his life in his hands in the
wild countries of the world. He said
to reporter:
AS for elephant shooting; we'll,
all hunters admit that it is the finest
sport in the world. When the news
comes that there are elephants about
the whole neighborhood is seething
with excitement. The natives go
frantic and evrything is forgotten ex-
cept the elephants.
There are three curious things
about the elephant. Firstly, although
he is the biggest animal in the
world, he is the hardest to see, for
he is the same color as the forest.
Secondly, for all his vast area, there
is little more than square foot of
him that is vulnerable to a bullet.
Thirdly, all elephants are left-hand-
ed as is proved by the fact that the
left tusk is always shorter, being
worn away with work.
"The elephant Is very blind ami
NAL He cannot see further than ITO
yards, but he can scent man for a
half mile, and can distinguish be-
tween a white man and black man.
When he charges he always makes
for the white man."

agreed that lion shooting was dull

Mail Pouches.

Uncle Sam has twenty-eight differ
ent kinds of mail bags in service, and
they range in cost from % cents to
2,156 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable use, and
you can ship almost anything that
comes within the postal regulations
with minimum of loss and breakage,
says Harper's Weekly. Probably the
most peculiar mail bag is the one ar
ranged for carrying bees. Sending
bees by mail was difficult operation
before the bee bag" was adopted.
Usually the bees arrived at their des-
tination dead or so exhausted that
they were of little use. Now these
little honey makers can be shipped by
mail several thousand miles in the
"bee bag" without suffering and can
obtain air and good supply of food
during their transit.
Mail bags are made of various mate
rails. The cheapest are of cotton and
the NOSE costly of leather. Those used
on fast expresses are REINFORCED with
metal so that they can be flung from
fast moving trains without damage.
Even then these bags, or catcher
pouches" do not last much more than
a year and a half, while some of the
cotton bags used for the work will re-
main in service upward of ten years.
In parts of the west, where the mail
must be carried for many miles on
horseback, special pouches are in use
for singing over the animals backs.
In the far frozen north special bags
are made for sled transportation and
in the cities bag in use for pneu
matte tube service is made of a COM
position called "leatheroid." The or
binary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically wa
terproof, and in the weave there are
thirteen stripes of blue. Each country
marks it's own mail pouches in some
lndlVldual way, so tnaL II one SetS
lost in a far country its ownership
can be readily detected.
Nearly 65,0OO,OOO mail bags are used
each year by the whole country, and
as they are being worn out all the
time the supply has to be kept up.
There are mail bag hospitals, where
tens of thousands of them 60 every
week. One such mail bag hospital re-
pairs upward of 5000 a day. These
crippled bags are in all sorts of dilap-
idated conditions. A railroad wreck
may injure several hund reds or thou

Why Boys Leave the Farm.

Why do the boys leave the farm?
There are good many reasons, but
one of the most common may be found
in this little story of real rural life:
Baseball had taken it's hold on a
country community and every Sunday
a crowd gathered in convenient pas
ture to spend the afternoon in noisy
pastime. There was protest from many
good people in the neighborhood, but
the games continued, nevertheless.
John and Jim and Tom, three husky
boys in one household, were caught
by the fever and wanted to join the
sport, but the father said No." with
no mistake as to his earnestness. His
boys should not play ball on Sunday
Moreover, the crowds at the games
were getting rougher and rougher,
liquor was being brought out by town
toughs, and something disgraceful
usually wound up the days fun.
The boys thought it over and talked
it over with other boys in the COM
munity and then went to father again.
Father" they said, we've talked it
over with the fellows around here, and
il you'll give us Saturday afternoons
off We'll play baseball then and not
on Sunday. Will you do it,"
mo sir!" answered the father,
most emphatically. We've got work
to do on Saturday afternoons. Don't
come to me with such tom-foolery!"
Resentful of the fathers unfairness,
the boys left his presence inwardly
vowing that they would sneak off and
play ball on Sunday in spite of him.
They did. Furthermore, they grew dis
satisfied with things on the farm and
new recruits were made for the alarm
ing movement of country boys to the
city.
When this story was told at the
rural life conference at the state col
lege at Ames recently nearly every
body there was reminded of an Incl
dent like it. Evidently the experience
of these three boys is common ex-
perience and it probably lies at the
bottom of a great amount of dissatis-
faction with country life among farm
boys.
Country boys need play as much as
town boys. They do not need it for
the exercise, but for the recreation
there is in it. Life without recreation
is bound to be unhappy. AS one of the
speakers at the conference said:
Farmers often use fool sense in this
matter of recreation" They need to
be educated to give their boys and

season several hundred thousand bags
go to the hospitals.
Mail bags are the most travelled of
all articles in use today. They are con-
stantly moving, and it would be i'm
possible to estimate the number of
miles bag ten years old has trav-
eled.

DEATH
Sometimes in European hotels the
tourist is taken solemnly to one side
and told that by paying few francs
or lire more he can have the royal
bed chamber. A certain hotel in Sor-
rento, where dozen or more royal
heads have lain in one season, is even
more generous, for if the rooms are
empty they make no extra charge.
And the traveller loves to recount when
he is back on his native heath how his
cheek pressed the same pillow that
had been used by the little queen of
Holland or the king of Saxony.-New
York Tribune.
