TAKE INTEREST IN ANCESTRY
Americans Coming to Believe Study
Of Genealogy Is of Some Con-
...... sequence.

The growing interest in ancestry in
dicates that Americans are fast COM
ing to believe that it Is of some conse-
quence to know from whom they are
descended. Long lines OF ancestry
are revealed in each person, and this
ancestry, II understood, will assist
materially in various directions. as
II Is a pride which deserves en-.
couragement. One cannot know too
much about himself, and in acquiring
a knowledge of his ancestors he is
learning the most important facts
about his own personality. This has
been demonstrate Q ! many times
that 1t is needless. ~ enter into ex,

Genealogy is the most fascinatihs
branch of history. And well 1t may
be, since 1t is the one branch which

ogy introduces the student to the ac-
tual personages and offers him the
most complete means of obtaining an
accurate understanding Of the occur
rences IF the past. These are only

MORALITY OF THE ELEPHANT
He Makes Cate Paw Of Boys Hand
to Steal tho UnhusIeed
Rice.

Singular as It may seem, elephants
which have associated with men en-
terrain the notion that, under special
circumstances, they are not responBi-
BILE II 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 it was wrong to
steal paddy (unhusked r1ce)-the idea
had doubtless been impressed upon
them by punishment for stealing
they would not touch 1t themselves.
But II boy went to see theE, 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 q cats
paw Of the boys hand to take up q
handful OF paddy. Then, letting go.
he would turn up the end OF his trunk,
open 1t, and coaxingly invite the boy
to drop in the paddy.
Should the boy, however, put it
back in the bag, his arm would again
be 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'B Weekly.

street and strange man suddenly

ate1y afterward shot and killed her.
