ELEPHANTS ARE SUFFRAGETTES
MIND THE BABIES.

In many respects he surpasses the
monkey, but the latter's intelligence
more nearly approaches U own. and
for that reason we must consider him
the highest type Of intelligence.
Much to my surprise, I discovered
that the bull elephant is rarely a
fighter. Indeed. there is little danger
from him. The generally accepted
theory that the big bulls are not found
IN the big herds is a fallacy.
The bull elephants that r found
roaming alone are almost invariably
senile gentlemen who have been cast
on by a herd. While I succeeded in
getting three splendid specimens Of
bull elephants. the finest specimen is
still at large. I was unable to get him,
for the reason that he lives in the cen
ter Of q herd of 700 elephants, who
guard him night and day.
These herds of elephants have COW
leaders. The leader il usually an old
animal with IN ugly disposition. The
cows protect the bulls. and the mo-
ment they scent danger they crowd
around them in order to prevent them
from being shot. II they can e the
hunters they will charge them, leav-
Ing enough OF their number to guard
the bulls.
Their sense Of smell is very acute.
They can detect the presence of a
man a thousand yards OF. but unless
he is moving they can't see him. even
IL he liz within 100 Yards. When they

a lunacy OF lmttatlOn.
"In Germany people go to the the
ater simply dressed, because they love
the theater. And il a man goes in
the stalls it is because he finds them
more comfortable than the pit-not
because he is ashamed to be seen in
a cheaper part Of the house than his
neighbors. e@a-I
But we are losing our sense of
proportion and u equanimity. And
when those are gone there will be no
delight left in life.
There are many causes I would as
sign for this. The young people have
too much to say. They have not suf-
iicient mental balance to be a sound
influence. though the enthusiasm may
be theirs. But enthusiasm must be
pruned, or it will run wild.
The prudent and steady people
have been pushed into the back
ground. and they are beginning to
think 1t must be their proper place.
We want them back again in the van.
Then, English society. which 90
wears g was impervious to foreign
influences, has let the restless Ameri-
can spirit pervade it Of late. Money
must be spent. And the moro money
YOU can spend the nobler is the work
YOU will have done for society.
This must be fought. we must
make England realize that the simple
life contains all the elements of hap
Il life. nor to set a value on the
things that make it worth living.
w must cultivate a crop of sound
judgment. The ground has lain fall
low too long. and weeds have sprung
up on all Sides"

New York Worldly

The elephant is the best known and
at the same time the least known OF
all wild animals. Paradoxical as this
may sound. it Is nevertheless true.
Nearly every n has seen an ele-
plant and nearly every n imagines
he knows what one looks like. But this
popular impression, as we'll as most
Of the beliefs about the elephant, are
erroneous.
In the first place. the elephants we
see here in America are Indian ele-
plants. They are understood, even
the largest of them.
A full grown African elephant is
nearly three times the size of Jumbo.
which was the largest elephant ever
brought to America. ] have shot sew
eral specimens which stood over thir-
teen feet, inc which weighed at least
twice AZ much as Jumbo.
Next to the monkey. tho elephant
is the wisest and most intelligent Of
all animals. l am not saying this OF
the domesticated Indian elephant. but
Of the African elephant in his native
state. And the African elephant is al.
ways a huge. wild beast. He is never
domesticated.
During the past two years that I
spent in British East Africa ana Ugan-
da studying the elephant as he has
lived for centuries. l learned several
things about him that entities him to
be called the most intelligent Of all
ANIMAL, the monkey alone excepted.

The tide OF spring emigration of
farmers to other lands is already at
the flood tide. The ties that bind the

Are we evolved from the vegetable
or the animal?
Some scientists maintain one, some
the other.
1t is the truth, however that We feel
an intimacy with trees and flowers
and vegetation that we do not with
the lower animals.
That We have actual affection for
some familiar tree.
That We love certain flowers.
That We entertain a mad passion
for particular blossoms
That we are elated or depressed ov-
er the changes in "inanimate nature"
as the seasons pass.
Certain colors in juxtaposition to
others in the natural scheme of things
will affect one poignantly.
A bit of green after the grey winter
will thrill with unexplainable ecstacy.
The shadow of a leaf upon the wall
will Undue with some mysterious en-
otion.
The lifting of the soft, faint breezes
in the tree-tops will act on you like
distant music.
There are days when you are steep
ed in the exquisite perfume of ma

When your senses are lulled to deli

When you are lured with the charm
of existence.

lovely red rose has blossomed every
