4 ROGUE Elephant.

In "Big Game Shooting In Upper
Burma" Major Evans tells of a Ia
NOUS rogue elephant that had for some
tine tecrorized the jungle and that hao
finally been laid low by bullet 11om
the majors rifle. The author says:
~Ee measured nine feet seven inches
at the shoulders and had but one tusk.
That, however, was a beauty and
weighed close to forty pounds. The
other trsk had been broken of at the
root, probably In a fight. I took a
bunch Of maggots as big as q football
out OF the broken tusk. The poor beast
must have endured agonies similar to
& toothache. No wonder that he had
turned rogue. I believe that nearly
every rogue elephant is suffering from
some physical hurt or disease that
causes him constant pain and turns
aim from an inoffensiTe beast into a
aavaca man hunter

Red Tape and a Murderer.


This is a tale Of self confessed muir
derer who wished to be arrested, as
related by writer in LIE Matin, Paris.
Some time ago man named Berges
was stabbed to death at Algiers. Three
men were arrested on suspicion, but
as they proved their innocence they
we're released and the matter was
shelred. a few days afterward man
called at the Office Of the local police
commissary and said to that official:
my name Is Marius Yvorra. killed
Berges. and this is how did It"
The commissary listened to the
mans confession and said:
"You had better see my secretary"
The secretary also listened to the
mans confession and after little re-
fection said:
"Now, look here. my good man; this
is not the way to get arrested. You
must write Us a letter confirming the
oral statement made to US. Then we
shall be able to attend to you. Now,
get along"
The man left the Office, and perhaps
because he was not good writer ne
has not been seen since in Agiers.

Lord Spuohan's Dream.

Lord Broughan was one Of the most
stubborn believers in the common
sense" explanation Of ghostly appear
snces as dreams. At Edinburgh uni
rersity he and an intimate friend drew
up an agreement written with their
blood that whichever Of them died first
should appear to the survivor. Years
passed, the friend was IN India, and
Brougnam had almost forgotten his
existence. Arriving late one night at
an Inn In Sweden, Brougham had hot
bath, and was going to get out Of It
when ne locked toward the chair on
which he had left his clothes and saw
his friend sitting on it Brougham
seems then to have tainted. On get
tng home he received letter an
nouncing that the Other had died il
India at the very tine. Yet this Incl
dent, which most people would put
Gown to telepathy, at least, was dis
missed By Brougham as mere dream
and pure coincidence.

A porterhouse Steak.

According to the Encyclopaedia Sc1-

the same sense as the English word,
which meant properly roasted meat,
from steikja, to roast-that is, placed

The same authority says: "a 'por-

from the loin, so named, apparently,
first IN New York from well known
porter house and eating house where
chops, steaks, ETC., and porter OF stout
were served, at which these steaks

The Lotus Flower.

Poets and norelists alike have given
mythical texture and color to the lotus.
The elder Dumas spoke Of q lotus how-
er 'spure white and with petals as deli
cate as fine muslin" Nor did the an
clients treat the matter with more
truth. BeroGotus spoke Of the lotus
as Of q plant which habitually de-
sceaded below the surface Of the wa
ter at sunset to return to view only
with the temperance Of the sun The
lotus known to modern man goes be-
low the surface Of the water, like ali
nymphaeas, when its beauty and its
freshness have passed and when the
time has come to ripen its seed pod.
Then by the law Of life it closes its
corolla and goes away from the air
and the sunshine down into the water
tc prepare for the future Of its family.
It goes at the time when the sun sets,
but It does not reappear. When 1t
soes down as aa individual it IS gone
forever. The petals described by Du-
mas as being "as white as the SHOWS
CT Etmalsya" are not pure white, nor
can anything be called with justice
as white rs the lotus flower" be-
cause a lotus flower may be red OF
blue as well as white.-Harper's
