Elephant Humor.

The courage of lion at bay, great
as it is, is no greater than that of the
buffalo. and he must yield his scepter
to the elephant. declares FL. L. Tangye
in his book. ''In the Torrid Sudan" as
to courage. size. strength and intelli-
gence. 1t is temptation to declare
that the elephant possesses a sense of
humor. A herd of elephants once fell
in with a train of donkeys. Their
attention concentrated on the load the
donkeys carried. With all the mischief
of monkeys. the loads were torn
asunder and their contents distributed
over half the province. At Bor. on
the Mountain Nile. the. elephants were
at one time full of practical jokes.
Passing at night time through the vii
lage, they would knock the sleepers
up by demolishing their huts above
their heads. then contentedly march
away.

remained for. several years until the
king. fearing he might escape. placed
himself at the head of a fresh revolt

ecution Abul Hejex was playing at
chess when the pasha came and babe

asked for two hours respite. which
was refused. After earnest, entreaty
he obtained permission to finish his
game. He was in no hurry about the
moves. we are told, and we'll for him
he was not. for before an hour had
elapsed messenger brought the news
that Mohammed had been struck dead
by apoplexy. and Abul was forthwith
proclaimed king of Granada. 1t was

grant, but it altered the whole current

WE CAN understand how people can
differ in their judgment as to the best
means of eradicating tuberculosis in
cattle, but we cannot understand how
sane people can be out of sympathy
with the effort. Is it not queer that
men in a position to voice and strength
en- sentiment for the promotion of a
sound practice that means so much to
public and animal health, will so easily
fall to a prejudice antagonistic to the
same with really little study on the
question? tuberculosis in cattle is a
great and serious question that is
threatening the very root and founda-
ton of the most important branch of
agriculture. 1t is commanding the re-
sources of both state and national gov
ernments and the serious work and
study of thousands of scientific and
practical men in dairy work over the
civilized world, and still we can find
publishers who feel their responsibility
to the public so lightly that they will
play to local prejudice if it seems the
popular thing to do The old mill Of
progress has ever worked slowly, es-
pecially when it demanded individuals
to sacrifice present gain for their flu
ture greater profit and public veal. If
only some rich corporation owned all
the cows, how unanimous we could all
be for pure milk and what disgust
would come over us at their selfish
greed. Fort Atkinson Union.

Musicians and sneezina.

Nobody can dispute the sincerity OF
the players in big orchestra like the
Philharmonic or the New York Sym
phony. Most of the time they take
their work seriously, but sometimes
the men break loose and play tricks on
one another as though they were
youngsters IN school. OF course the
audience knows nothing of these
things; they're usually perpetrated in
rehearSalS.
The red pepper trick is the common
est. The jokers scatter it where the
bassoon and trombone players are like
ly to suck it up. The result is chokes
and sneeZes. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches even into the strings, but of
course the players on the wind instru-
ments get it worst.
AS a matter Of fact. the jokers are
playing with fire. "a confirmed
sneezer can't get a job in good or
chestra. no matter how good a per-
former he may be-" said consistent
concert goer. Think Of the effect of
a rousing sneeZe on pianissimo!
Why. it would spoil Il whole concert,
one sneeZe would. A conductor has to
guard against. sneeze as he does
against inebriety."-NewY York Sun.

Solitude.

Solitude is dangerous to reason with
out being favorable to virtue. Pleas
ures Of some sort are necessary to the
intellectual as to the corporal health,
and those who resist gayety will be
likely for the most part to fall sac
rifice to appetite, for the solicitations
of sense are always at hand, and a
dram to a vacant and solitary person
is a speedy and seducing relief. Re-
member that the solitary person is GER
tainly luxurious, probably supersti-
tious and possibly mad The mind
stagnates for want of employment and
is extinguished. like a candle in foul
air.-JohnSon.

For the first time in many months,
business conditions can be said to be
looking up. The steel trade, the real
barometer of the country's commercial
activities, is more active and the COM
panies are inclined to make much OF
the fact that mill operations have in
creased 5 to 10 per cent since the low
point in December. On Monday, Feb.
6, the steel corporation had 55 per cent
of capacity active. Much of this in
crease has come from export trade,
however. The railroad situation is very
uncertain. Rail orders last week
reached III, 900 tons. Locomotive or
ders were light. Orders were placed
for 8, 200 cars.

Where the Money Goes.

During the year ending June 80, 1909,
the last fiscal year, this government
spent for it's maintenance approximate
ly $1,000, 100000 That is one billion or
one thousand million as it is variously
expressed. 1t is a tremendous sum,
beyond the understanding of the aver
age citizen whose own expenses are
confined to four figures.
This money is raised by indirect
methods. There is no federal tax that
the people pay as they pay the city
taxes. Uncle Sam does not send around
tax bill or have his policemen chase
up the delinquents. He puts tax upon
some kinds of business, and lets the
business men of the country pay him
and take it out of their customers. A
little less than one-half of this income
is custom duties, considerable proper
ton is internal revenue and the balance
comes from miscellaneous sources.
But even if the income of the gov
eminent is indirect, the outgo is direct
and speedy. Although this is the great
est peace nation with the smallest
army and in proportion to its coast line
and it's international trade, a small
navy, more than half of the expense of
the government is for wars, past and
present. Out of every dollar SO cents
goes into the military hole, % cents for
pensions, and Is for, the army and the
same for the navy. Of the balance in
terest costs cents, rivers and harbOrs
cents, and the Panama canal 5 cents,
the president and his assistants in the
execution of the laws % cents, and the
law making end of the government lilo
of l cent. The balance is divided be-
tween the various departments of the
government, which include the agricul-
tural department, the cost of repre-
senting the country abroad, and other
details.
So the money goes. At these times
when government extravagances are
under discussion and attempts are be-
ing made by the president and some OF
the congressman to economize-andb by
others to find use for every dollar that
can be raised-it is interesting to see
just how the funds are proportional.
While this money is collected from
the people Indirectly, it is the people
who pay every penny of it,. the ulti-
mate consumer paying, through various
channels, to the producer, frequently
having added to the prices he pays
some additional sum for which the tax
is made an excuse. His clothes, his
food, his rent and everything he buys
bears some part of this billion. Which
makes this little analysis of outgo the
more interesting to him. Milwaukee
