Elephant In Auto.

A Swiss residing at Siantar, in the
Island of Sumatra, has written homo
an account Of the capture and trans
portation of young wild elephant in
a motor car by a resident Of the town.
The elephant, which was well roped.
was driven to the nearest path in the
forest, and with great difficulty the
motor car arrived at the spot, kind
of platform replacing the body. The
elephant was induced to mount the
platform and was strongly secured to
Il. The trip to Siantar started, but
difficulties at once arose, because the
elephant. whose trunk was free, used
his proboscis 20 examine in turn the
chauffeur, the seats in front, the ma

wheel his last maneuver nearly upset
ting the car, which was brought to
stop, as the journey was becoming
dangerous. The elephants trunk was
then strapped to his body and the car
arrived at Siantar without further in
cident. This is probably the first time
that wild elephant has had ride on
motor car.

Inc Boy mad often wondered now
It would seem TO have a mother as 9TH
er boys had. But they did not think 1t
so wonderful, even when they were
kissed and caressed In that fond fool
ish way some mothers have.
The Boy remembered one expert
ence, an experience so wonderful that
he could never forget 1t. One cold
morning In January, when on his way
to school, he called for Jack, his boy
friend. Jacks mother, a smiling,
sweet-voiced woman, had insisted upon
her son wearing overshoes, much
against his will, and had buttoned his
coat and tucked around his neck q
warm soft muffier.
Jack had objected, he could not see
the need of SO much fuss" on his
mothers part, and he was In hurry
to try his new sled on the hill back OF
the school house before the morning
session opened.
blue eyes as the mother drew her son
to her and kissed his round rosy
cheek. Perhaps she noticed his wist-
full gaze, for she slipped her other
arm around him, and kissed him, too.
His pale thin face flushed with unex-
pected pleasure. And then they had
gone out into the snow. Jack wore an
expression of annoyance at what his
mother had done, but the Boys face
shone with new happiness, while his
heart was warm with glow that 1t
had never felt before.
That night he had gone to sleep
with his small pillow clasped In his
arms, his cheek pressed close to it
in most pathetic way. He had whis-
pered to II tender words of love, and
had called 1t Mother"
Ellen, his nurse, coming to tuck him
In for the night, found his pillow tight
ly clasped in his arms. She could not
understand this, and had thought him
'just a strange little boy" The moth
er in her had never been awakened;
she knew nothing of boy nature.
Il wonder what ever he is doing
that for? Doesn't he know how to use
his pillow? It's too dreadfully foolish!"
She carefully removed 1t from the
Boys arms, smoothed and put 1t in it's
proper place. She then turned out the
light and quietly left the room.
AS the boy became familiar with the
use of the pen, he began to compose
little letters to an imaginary mother.
Dear Mother" he would begin, Il

cleraymanfs Public Rebuke.

OF Jabez Ham, Hardshell Baptist
preacher, who resided in central Mis-
souri, in the twenties, many stories are
told. Soon after the arrival of Charles
B. Harper in Montgomery county, in
1929, he went over to Galloway county
20 get load Of corn, wearing his usu-
al clothing made OF homespun cloth
On his way back the road led him by
a house where Ham was preaching
and he stopped to hear the sermon.
During the service the minister called
on the congregation to kneel in pray
er. And all knelt except Mr.. Harper.
He bowed his head. Ham noticed him
and prayed that the Lord would bless
that Virginia man who had on store
clothes and was afraid or too proud to
get down on his knees.

Fitting Retort.

He was very large, and evidently
had imbibed too freely. He conversed
with every one in the car with splen'
did impartiality.
At Market street, as most of the
passengers arose to get out. he stood
back with wobbly courtesy and said In
clarion tones, with flourish of one
unsteady hand:
"Stand aside and let all the old
maids off first. gentlemen"
One sour-faced dame, who evidently
came under the head OF those who
were to descend first, turned her sharp
nose about in his face and retorted
shrilly:
"Sir. IL all the men were like you

One day the Boys father found one
of these pitiful little letters. He read
1t through with eyes that were wet
and an ache in hfs throat. He went
to the Boys room to place 1t carefully
In the drawer of his small desk Here
he found other little notes that plainly

He went down to the library and

drawer in his desk a faded photo

ly he looked at her face; there we're
the same serious blue eyes and sensi-

day in the small face of his son. He
wondered If he had loved her enough !;

ANSWER THAT WON THRONE
Present GaeIwar Of Baroda Owes His
Position to Confidence He Had
In Himself.

The Orient Is still the land OF the
strange and romantic Straight from
everyday modern life in India comes
a story that might have been invented
by Scheherazade herself for the enter
tainment OF the Sultan. II Is an &C
count Of how the present Gaekwar OF
Baroda won his throne.
In 1875. after the Maharaja Malhar
Rao was deposed, the council sought
q worthy member of the family as his
successor. Four sons of the house
lived In the city, but the council felt
that they were all too old and incom-
petent to become efficient rulers.
In a distant village, in a mud hut,
the council found a poverty-stricken
family Of the royal race. In this fam
lily were three sons, each Of whom was
young enough to be nodded into a ca
pable ruler. After some elaboration
the council decided that one Of these
boys should have the throne, but left
the selection to the Dowager Maha-
rance.
Accordingly. the three brothers-Go-
pal, Dada and Sampat-were sum-
moned to the city of Baroda. Shortly
after their arrival, they were admitted
20 the presence of the maharanee.
Her highness asked each in turn why
ne come to Baroda.
The youngest was so awed and be-
wildered by the magnificence Of the
court that after smiling foolishly for a
moment. he burst into a staym OF tears
and sobs.
The next in age, who was more
stolid, did not behave so Historically.
He answered the query as any we'll
behaved Hindu lad Of his age would
have done. He had come to Baroda,
he declared, because his relatives had
brought him there.
But when Gopal was asked the same
question, he alrily responded:
II have come to be the Maharaja
Of Baroda."
The maharanee and her councillors
with one accord decided that the
youth who gave this bold reply show
ed the most promise Of becoming an
able ruler of his people. He was cho-
sen, and there has been no need to re-
gret the choice-T. P.'s Magazine.

Pedagogy is the most neglected of all
sciences. Before there are good pupils
there must be good teachers. If school
system turns out inefficient, stupid gradu-
ates and that same system is responsible
for the turning out of the teachers-how
can the latter be anything except stupid
and inefficient? The pedagogues teach the
pupils-but who teaches the pedagcgues?
1t is all vicious circle.

ulty. A man may know all there is to

truth, in so far as civilized man is con-
cerned.
There are, however, upon this earth
many animals, wild or domestic, which get
little or no salt and yet are healthy. True,
they have a craving for it, as is shown by
the fact that when given the opportunity
