MORALITY OF THE ELEPHANT
He Makes 4 Cats Paw Of Boys Hand
to Steal tho Unhusked
RIcO'

Singular as It may seem, elephants
which have associated with men en-.
terrain the notion that, under special
circumstances, they are not RESPONSE
BILE 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 1t was wrong to
steal paddy (unhusked rice)-the idea
had doubtless been impressed upon
them by punishment for stealing
But II 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 the
paddy was kept in bags.
The elephant would make cats
paw Of the boys hand to take up a
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
bo 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-
peating the operation several times,
the elephant would scamper on, feel
Ing that he had got the paddy with
out stealing it.-Harper's Weekly.

4 DEMOCRATIC APPOINTMENT

The action taken by Lieutenant
and Acting Governor Ross yesterday
afternoon in appointing successor
tn the late Cleveland Baker to gil
the office of attorney general of
this state was undoubtedly one uf
wisdom. Had Governor Oddie
been here the matter would have
been out Of the hands Of the demo-
Gratis and the appointment would
have fallen to Governor Oddie.
His ill luck followed him and he
was forced to foreRo the appoint
ing of an official that: would have
upser all democratic political cal
culations. That was Oddie's nj :
fortune.
Upon the death of MIR. Bakr it
left an open breach il democratic
ranks that exposed the entire
: machinery to the political enemy.
'%As Mr.. Baker had been elected by
the democratic party and had acted
In their councils, had made good
I'm his office. it was but natural
: that the followers of the clan were
anxious that another democrat
take up. his work. thus assuring
the same policies that have been
mapped. Governor Oddie's absence
from the state made this possible.
Many republicans openly declare
that Ross took the action that
: they would b I'VE FOL owed under the
circumstances.
~ At the time IF the death of
Senator Nixon Governor Odiic was
way on a junket. Had Governor
Ross cared to make the appoint
ment it was possible, but he figur.
ed tt at the late Senator Nixon was
ia republican, was so elected, and
that the republicans were entitled
TO tie appointment, passed this
oppoi tunity up and Oddie named
Senator Massey. after Nj. Wing

FORMER CL|FTON|TE UNDER ARREST
 IN FL PASO

 Contained in Lost Letter.

O.. R.. Maddox, an employee of the freight department of the A. & N. M. Railway Co.,, is in trouble in Fl Paso. Maddox left here about three months ago. The Fl Pase Times says:
 After being arrested on a charge of forgery, O. R. Maddox, freight clerk employed in tbe Texas & Paci- fic railroads local office, has made a written confession to Chief of De tectives Stansel The statement con tains a remarkable story of a lost letter, which led to the forging of a draft for $ $50 drawn on the sister of a man he had never seen.
 Maddox. states that he found a let ter addressed to W. L. Harie, min ing man, on San Jacinto plaza on April 20. The letter was from Belle Hardie, a sister of the mining man. who resides in Helena, Mont. The writer told her brother that if at any time he should need money, to noti- fly her by. wire and she would tele- graph the desired amount.
 Maddox says that he was out of funds and without employment when he found the letter and the tempta- tion was too great for him. He car ried the letter in his pocket for nearly Ia week, but finally wired to Miss liar die for $50, using the signature of her brother The following day he was notified that a draft was await ing him at the Postal Telegraph com pany's local office.
 Presenting the check to the cashier of the First National bank he was informed that he could not get it cashed without identification. To sur mount this difficulty, Maddox induced his landlady at 21S Franklin street. to indorse the check, stating that there had been mistake made iI the name. He informed the landlady that his stepfather's name was Hardie and the mistake in names was a nat ural one.
 After securing the endorsement of the check, Maddox cashed it, saying he intended leaving town. Instead of doing SO he remained in Fl Paso. Thursday the draft was forwarded to Chief Stansel from New York by the landlady who had indorsed it and to whom it had been returned. Mad dox was arrested and has been trans eferred to the county jail on a charse of forgery.

TOWN COUNCIL COMPROMISE
Tax Suit Against Arizona Copper Company Is Settled Out of
 Court

At a meeting of the Town Council held on Monday evening last, a settle ment was made with the Arizona Cop per company for the taxes due the city for 1912. The total taxes as as- sessed against the company for the year amounted to $6,043. 45. The Town adopted the assessment as fixed by the Board of Supervisors for coun- ty purposes. The company protest ed against this assessment on the ground that it was unfair so far as the assessment of merchandise and smelter machinery had ben made and rendered $4,553. 45 in full for. their town taxes for this year. The old Council refused to accept this tender and employed l.. Kearney and E. E :. Wall, Esq, to bring suit against the company for the delinquent tax. The new Council evidently considered q bird in the hand was worth two in the bush, and on motion on Monday even ing the original tender of the com pany was accepted and as a consc- quence the City Treasury is richer by $4,5Oo.
