STORY LESSON ON ELEPHANT
Animal Intelligence and Faithfuiness
Are Recounted for Study by
Man,

The elephant is said to be the most
intelligent of all animals; certainly
few four-footed creatures have served
man so ably and faithfully. How
| courageous and loyal they can be is
strikingly shown by an incident re-
lated by H. Perry Robinson in his
book "Of Distinguished Animals" says
the Youths Companion.
"A native Mahratta prince was en-
gagged in fierce battle with his enc
mics, and the struggle ragged furiously
about the standard-bearing elephant.
AT the moment when it was ordered
to halt, it's mahout was killed. The
Mahratta forces were borne back, but
still the elephant stood firm, and the
standard continued to fly.
Accordingly the soldiers of the
prince, unwilling to be outdone in
courage by an elephant, rallied, and in
turn drove the enemy back till the
tide of battle swept past the rooted
elephant and left it, towering colossal
among the slain.
THE fight was won, and then they
WOulu nave Hau INe elephant move
from the battlefield, but it waited for
the dead mans voice. For three days
and nights it remained where it had
been told to remain, and neither bride
nor treat would move it. Finally they
sent to the home village on the Ner-
budda, hundred miles away, and
fetched the mahout's little son,
round-eyed, lisping child. Then, at
last, the hero of that victorious day,
remembering that it's master had
sometimes, in q brief absence, dele
gated his authority to the child, con-
fessed it's allegiance and, with shat
tered battle harness changing at each
stately stride, swung slowly along the
road behind the boy"

Predicts City's Destruction.

Rev w. H. Snyder, colored, claiming
to be a Methodist minister from Elyria,
Ohio. and recently come to Washington.
predicted at the White House today that
Washington is soon to be destroyed by an
earthquake. The visitor thought it his
duty to tell the President of the coming
troubles for this city, SO that Mr.. Will
son may escape if he sees fit. The infor-
nation was conveyed to Assistant Secre-
tary Thomas w. Brahany. whose duty is
TO see all visitors not eligible to reach the
President or Secretary Tumulty.
The caller told Mr.. Brahany that he
had had two visions of the coming earth
quake One of them was as far back as
1902 and the other just a month or so
ago. Snyder couldn't fix the date from
the visions, which We're a little vague on
details. but all the same. he said. it was
going to happen. He himself is going to
get out of town within a short time to
avoid the confusion. When asked
whether the visions gave any cause for
the earthquake, Snyder said it was all
due to them poor blacks in Washing
tom" As further evidence of his relia-
bilty and standing Snyder presented GER
tificates of character showing that he had
once been an elevator conductor in
Elyria.
