That UpIifted FeeIino.

One of the things which "every wo-
man knows" is that feeling of elation
produced by putting on beautiful
clothes, or even some eccentricity, pro-
vided it is Of the newest fashion. Prob
ably men-who are singularly like wo-
men in these highly civilized days
are perked up by new tie or exhilar-
ated by fancy waistcoat, only they
do not talk about these mysteries as
much as women do.
But love of finery has a deep psy-
chic meaning, and according to one of
our leading brain specialists there is
"an emotional accompaniment of ella
ton following the putting on of a
pretty garment"-a rather pompous
way of saying what every feminine
thing, from the fat baby who rejoiced
over her coral necklace to the grand
mother who sticks pink bow in her
lace cap, is intensely aware of.

Biggest Pair of Tusks,

In the stables of the royal palace al
Mandalay, in Burmah, there may be
seen an elephant with a remarkable
pair Of tusks, which the Burmese de
clare are the largest in the world, says
the Wide World Magazine. These 81
gantic tusks measure as much as
seven feet nine inches on the outside
curve, with a greatest circumference
of no less than seventeen inches.
To naturalists the most extraordi
nary point about these tusks, which
are still being carried by their owner
is that they virtually touch the ground
and almost meet. Apparently, how
ever, their owner experiences no in
convenience from these long and cum
brous appendages while taking exer
else.
AS geological curiosity the ele
phant has naturally attracted wide at
tention, and it is said that several Of
fers have already been received fol
the tusks when the animal should see
fit to depart this world.

START OF POSTAL SERVICE
First Attempt at System Began IN
England as Far Back as
the Year 1855.

How many of us know that the
post Office began to exist in the year
1886! Special messengers and the
common carrier were till then the
only means of communication.
After that date horse post car
ried letters along the great roads into
the different parts of England, those
who lived pear these roads hurrying
out at the sound of the postman's S
horn. And the remote byways were
not neglected.
If one desired to send a letter to
some remote town in Yorkshire, one
went to Ludgate, then to the Bell Sow
age in, close by, and there intrusted
it to the carrier for the country in
question. The messenger from Lon
don would not penetrate into byways.
Each country had it's system of foot
posts, which linked the outlying dis
tricts with its chief towns and with
the great high roads. The London
courier, pressing on to his terminus,
was relieved of packets for remote
regions by the local postman, who,
in turn, passed them on from hand to
hasd to their destination. In some
what similar fashion, though less reg
ularly and smoothly, letters inland
were carried over the long and tedi-
Gus journey to the hands for which
they were laboriously indited.

NAMES THAT REALLY SUITED
Child Found No Trick at All to Alter
the Cognomens of Her
Two Pets.

When little Dorothy's papa's friend
presented to little Dorothy, on her
birthday, two tiny, aristocratic, white,
fluffy balls of angora kittens, she
named them on the spot Duke and
DUCHESS. Time passed and the kit
tens grew into cats and then there
came an event. Duke became the
mother of four new kittens.
''This will never do, my DEAR" said
little Dorothy's mamma. "You must
find other names for your cats. What
will you call them?"
Little Dorothy did not answer at
once. Instead she pondered over the
matter all day. Just before bedtime
she went to her mother with the air of
one whose mind has been relieved of
a great weight.
Il know what I'll call them,
mamma she said. "It's quite simple.
I'll call the one that l first named Duke
the mother-cat-Il call Marmaduke,
and I'll call the one l first named
Duchess-the papa-cat-Ill call him

BULLETS FIRED
into CAMP OF
GAME WARDENS
WHILE CAMPING AT A POND
Report is Made to State
Warden Mercer

Atlanta, Ga, May ia situation
somewhat parallel to the Milltown
fishing case occurred at Venable's
pond near Stone Mountain in DeKalo
county last night when unknown per-
sons opened fire upon Game Warden
E. L. Waggoner and his deputy Albert
Johnson.
A report of the shooting was made
to State Game Commissioner Mercer.
Warden Waggoner informed Commis>
sioner Mercer that he and his deputy
had established a camp on the side
of the pond in order that they might
better apprehend the violators of the
law. He said that during the night
persons unknown to him fired shots in
to the camp, but fortunately neither
he nor his deputy We're injured.
State Game Commissioner Mercer
is inclined to believe that the shots
were fired more with the idea of in
timidating the wardens than with an
intent to harm them. However, he in
structed Warden Waggoner to appoint
some new deputies and bring them to
Atlanta to be sworn in..
"We will stop illegal fishing at all
costs" declared the game cimmis-
sioner.
