MORALITY OF THE ELEPHANT
Ho Makes . Cats Paw of Boys Hand to Steal the Unhusked
 Rice.

Singular as 1t may seem, elephants which have associated with men en- tertain the notion that, under special circumstances, they are not responsi- ble if they utilize another to commit an illegal act. The following Is an in stance of this elephantine morality:
 A man in Rangoon bought three young elephants to send to England. They were tame and playful, but cum ming. Knowing that it was wrong to steal paddy (unhusked rice)-the idea had doubtless been impressed upon them by punishment for stealing they would not touch 1t themselves. But if boy went to see them, he would be seized by one, the little trunk would be coiled around his arm. and he would be led to where tho paddy was kept in bags.
 The elephant would make cats paw of the boys hand to take up 2 handful of paddy. Then, letting go. he would turn up the end of his trunk, open it, and coaxingly invite the boy to drop in the paddy.
 Should the boy. however. put it back in the bag, his arm would again be seized by the trunk, and his hand would be again inserted into the paddy bag.
 The boy, anxious to be released. would usually drop the paddy into the trunk, and the elephant would blow the rice into his mouth. After re beating the operation several times, the elephant would scamper of, feel ing that he had got the paddy with out stealing jt-Harper'r Weekly.

THE TWO GREAT THINGS
TO DO.

There are two great things to
do. One is to set up the rule of

people must put them. the treat.

ditional duty, is the great task

resources and Of keeping open
to the whole people the doors of
opportunity through which they
must, generation by generation.

quest OF their fortunes in health,

LABOR AND THE RULE OF
RIGHT.

The working people Of Amer
ica-if they must be dis
tinguished from the minority
that constitutes the rest of it
are, Of course, the backbone of
the nation. No law that safe
guards their life, that improves
the physical and moral condi-
tons under which they live,
that makes their hours Of labor
rational and tolerable, that
gives them freedom to act In
their own interest and that pro-
tects them where they cannot
protect themselves, can properly
be regarded as class legislation
or as anything but as a measure
taken in the interest OF the
whole people, whose partnership
in right action we are trying to
establish and make real and
practical. It is In this spirit
that we shall act if we are gen.
uine spokesman Of the whole
country.-From Woodrow VIII
