Elephants As Rivals.

When two male elephants compete for
the championship Of female. they do
not forget their dignity so far as to
fight for the lady. They simply face
each other sduarely. Then one Of them
pulls down a branch from a tree with
his trunk and lays It at his feet. The
other takes a larger branch, or pulls
up a big shrub by the roots and also
lays II at his feet.
Number one then tackles a still bigger
branch, and this strange competition
goes on, turn and turn about, until at
last the contestants try to pull down
trees wholesale. and the one who fails
to uproot his tree IN turn Is abandoned
by the lady elephant. who has been an
'nteres ed spectator Of the strange duel
She goes OF with the possessor Of the
LARGEST tree and the vanquished elephant
retires shame-faced.
This trial of strength species Of court
ship is very remarkable when contrasted
with the ordeal of battle of most other
animals, and shows the highly devel-
oped Intelligence Of these enormous
creatures.

The "money Trust'' along with all
other trusts and monopolies in Mis-
souri, is faring badly at the hands of a
Democratic legislature and Demo-
cratic administration. Under a bill
recently passed by the General As
sembly and signed by Governor Major,
state funds may be bid off in eightieths
rather than twentieths as heretofore,
thus giving to small banks and trust
companies throughout the State an
opportunity to become State deposit
tories. AS security to the State, bonds
of cities of two thousand population
will be accepted, as well as notes Sc
cured by first mortgage on real estate
to be passed On by the State treasurer,
This plan was suggested by Lieuten,

by the Legislature. This is more
Democratic and prohibits the "Money
Trust" from preventing State Treasur'
er Deal from securing depositoriel
for State funds at a fair rate of inter
est.
