Charles wesley Sutton, son of
Charles Wesley Sutton and Susan
Knapp, was born at Stevensville,
Sullivan county, N. Y, April 7,
1876, and passed very peacefully
away at his home in Bethany, Aug.
26, 1911, about 10 o'clock p. m,
aged 35 years, months and 19
days. His boyhood days were spent
at Stevensville and for the past

sisters, Mrs. Eugene Kline of Falls
burg, N. Y; Mrs. Howard Beebe,
Middletown, ~ Y, and two brothers,
Melvin, of Mcclure, N. Y, and Sam
uel, in the West.
He had been a great sufferer for
several months of complications yet
bore it with great patience, earnest
ly desiring that his life might be
spared to his wife and children to
whom he was greatly devoted, and
while the end came peacefully, it
was no less a shock to his sorrow
ing wife who had so lovingly and
tenderly cared for him. He was of a
bright, cheerful disposition and es-
pecially kind and thoughtful of the
aged and the many tokens and mes
sages of sympathy received during
his illness from friends where the
most of his life had been spent,
showed the high esteem in which he
was held. The funeral services were
conducted at the Presbyterian
church, Tuesday afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock by Rev. DR.. Swift. Mrs.

A few years ago two children were
bathing in the sea at a little town on
the coast Of France when suddenly,
for some reason or other they We're
carried out of their depth. In Il few
moments their cries as they struggled
in the deep water aroused attention,
but before any one could reach them
they We're rescued in an altogether un-
expected manner.
An immense elephant belonging to
a travelling circus happened to have
been led down to the sea that morn
ing to bathe. and as he was enjoying
his bath close at hand he heard the
cries of the children. Plunging through
the water toward them, he lifted them
very gently one at time and carried
them to a place of safety.
This elephant, whose name was Gus,
died not long ago at Hereford, Eng
land, from the effects of severe cold.
He was said to be 1876 years old.

About the Pelican.

This bird is found spread over many
portions of Africa and Asia and is
also found in some parts of southern
Europe The wings of the pelican are
very strong and powerful.
The pouch of the pelican is enor-
mously large. capable of containing
two gallons of water, and is employed
by the bird as basket wherein to
carry the fish which it has caught.
The pelican is good fisherman,
lowering over the water watching for
a shoal Of fish near the surface. Down
swoops the bird, scoops up number
of fish in its capacious pouch and then
generally flies off homeward. In its
homeward flight it is often robbed by
hawks, which attack it and cause it
TO scream Once the pelican's mouth
is open the hawk snatches the fish out
Of the birds pouch.
