CAME BACK TO HIS MEMORY
Long Years of Captivity Had Not Ef faced Early Teachings From Mind
 of Elephant.

The following is an instance of an
 elephants good manners and of tho
 lenaclty With which an idea once re.
 celved by him adheres in his mem
 ory.
 when visiting the London Zoo. an Engllshman who had seen service in india got permission for his children 70 ride on one of the elephants. After the ride he wished to give the beast bun and to make him say Please" using in this connection the phrase "Salaam kuro'' (make salaam).
 The man animal regarded the man gravely for some time, eagerly eyeine the pun In his hand. At last memory came to the pachyderm's aid, and un went his trunk, and he made a most correct salaam.
 The beasts keeper was much as. tonlshed, asking what the performance meant. The Britisher explained that It was a point of good manners for an elephant to raise his trunk up to hia forehead If anyone was going to feed nm. and that frequently elephants would ask in this polite manner for something when they encountered anyone who seemed likely to offer them food.
 The keeper assured the visitor that ae had never seen the elephant do this before, and that he had been in :harge Of the beast since its arrival rom India a long time since. For 17 years this animal had never hear1 these words, and had always taken hls food without this mark of good nanners-The Sunday Magazine.

COLUMBIA FOUR WEAKENS
Led at Start, but Could Not
Withstand CornelrS Rush.

Poughkeepsie, n. 7 June Gin the race
for varsity tours here to-day the first
event on the programme, Dole, the man
who stroked the Ithaca quartet TO VIC
tory in 1911, was responsible for another
victory. Columbia made a tremendous
squirt at the start, and at the quarter Of a
mile mark they mad lead Of two lengths
rowing thirty-six strokes to the minute.
Dole did not grow excited over the long
lead He knew what his men could do, and
ne kept them rowing steadily ar thirty-four
in beautiful form.
AT the auarter-mile Columbia ceased 20
gain. and by the time the half-niie point
was reached the Cornell men were within
half length OF the New Workers. II looked
as II Cornell already had the race well In
hand. as Columbia was coming back with
every stroke.
But Mccarthy, tho little man who stroled
the Blue and White freshmen 10 victory
last year, still had some eight in him. and
no electrified the crowd by raising the
stroke again and holding Cornell even for
half mile. Under the bridge columbia
still led BY half length but Cornell start
ed TO close the gap. and because OF Dole's
tactics II had more Ia reserve.
BY the time they reached the mile-and-a-
half point the nose OF the Cornell shell was
a quarter Of length in the lead. Column
ba still fought CALAMITY, but near the fn-
ish came the famous Cornell squirt and
crossing the line they led by three lengths.

Courtney Sets a Precedent.

Strange as II may seem, Courtney disre.
garded all precedent and had n seat in
the observation train, the first time that he
has ever watched the Cornell crews as the
thousands on the train have watched them
for years.
Courtney was IN Car No. 10, but the
hoodoo on the number had no significance
for him. and the Cornell men who were in
the car with him were q mighty Jolly
bunch when, with the "old man" in their
midst, they watched first their four, then
their freshman and finally their VARSITY row
down all opposition and win with the usual
Cornell squirt that shows not a laggard in
the boat. All this Courtney saw from the
train, and he cheered with the rest
OF Jim Rice and his Columbia crews
much can be said Rice turned out three
sterling crews, II one takes into conadera-
ton the pitiful array OF material he had
10 work with. Columbia was outrpatchel
by Cornell in beef and Drawn, but in the
finer points OF Workmanship and smooth
ness and aggressiveness they were, man
for man, as good as the Ithacans. What
they lacked was beef, and until Columbia
decides that It must support Rice as II
should and give to him men who have the
beef and the power-until then Columbia
cannot expect its crews TO win. II is not
putting IL too squsrely 10 say that tho
Columbia crew was burned by the Ithacans
in the first gruelling mile After that CO.
lumbia had all the spirit and fight and
aggressiveness but not the power. The
men were trained well. but did not have
the reserve that one finds in a crew where
the material TO begin with is of the heavy.
rugged Cornell stun.
With Syracuse IL was different. They
were clearly outrowed and outmatched.
They had the beef and the power, but they
did not have the science Of rowing down as
did the Cornell crews and In all three
races Ten Eycks men were badly beaten.

did not have the men 70 begin with, and
