BRAIN POWER OF ANIMALS
Dogs and Elephants Possess Greatest
Amount of Intelligence, the
Latter Leading.

Authorities differ as to whether the
dog is more sagacious than the eie

the training of animals is inclined to
the belief that the elephant at least

Detroit Free Press. lives for 100 and

years Each year he seems to add
to his store of knowledge. and. If a
pachyderm is taken in hand early
enough, he may be taught to do tricks
that so clumbsy appearing an animal
would seem incapable of performing.
Gruber, in fact, was so convinced
that he could make an elephant sur
pass the usual tricks of the circus ami
NAL of this sort that he passed some
years in training one of the finest
specimens of the species with Shet-

ants in an act for vaudeville. and the
aptitude of the equines was at no
time greater than was that of the ele-

group of entertainers carefully housed

RASCAL WAS WELL SERVED
Quaker's Little Lesson In Honesty by
Which Schemer Might Have
Learned Lesson.

An amusing tate Of a farmer who
found out to his sorrow that honesty
is the best policy comes from Thomas
DEVICES Market Book" 1t happened
in 1920 in New York market, when
a weigh-master had been appointed by
the agricultural society to see that the
public was honestly served. |,
One morning a respectable-looking
and wealthy farmer. who was general
ly known to cheat whenever he had q
chance, brought his butter to Fly Mar
ket done up in pound rolls. This was
when butter was scarce and was worth
two shillings ninepence pound, and
1t had quick sale, which no doubt
induced him to scant the weight In
each roll. ~---~f
This morning the weigh-master ap-
peared Unexpectedly, and saw the
farmers butter open for SALE He
prepared his test-scale to weigh It.
While he was doing so the farmer
slipped guinea five dollar gold
the weigh-master's back was turned
thrust it into the top roll. as he
thought unperceived by any one, to
make up the required weight The
roll was taken up, and weighed full
weight, which satisfied the weigh-mas-
ter, who did not weigh another.
While he was putting up his scale.
a Quaker gentleman, who had been
standing off little distance and had
seen the whole transaction, came up
and inquired the price of the butter.
Three shillings,' said the farmer.
Put me up that roll" said the
Quaker, pointing to the guinea roll
To this the farmer replied: Il have
sold that roll to friend"
No. thee has not responded the
Quaker. Thee can give thy friend
another roll, If they are all good, and
weigh alike, and he turned to the
weigh-master for support
You are entitled to the roll, or any
roll you choose 70 take. if they were
priced to you,' said the weigh-master.
With this the Quaker took up the
guinea roll and ttlaced it in his basket.
then laid down tEree shillings AS he
was going he turned back to say to
the farmer, Thee will not find cheat
ing always profitable. Youths Com
panion.
