STORY LESSON ON ELEPHANT
Animal intelligence and Faithfulness
Are Recounted for Study by
Man.

The elephant is said to be the most
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 a 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, its 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
would have had the 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. a hundred miles away, and
fetched the mahouts little son,
round-eyed, lisping child. Then, at
last. the hero of that victorious day,
remembering that it's master had
sometimes, in a brief absence, dele
gated his authority to the child, con-
fessed its allegiance and, with shat
tered battle harness changing at each
stately stride, swung slowly along the
road behind the boy"

gears that a sketch of his career
seems almost superfuous. Born in
Salem, H., in 1860, he was graduated
with highest honors from Illinois col
lege at Jacksonville in 1881 and re-
ceived his masters degree in 1854
In 1888 he was given the degree of
Ii. B. by Union College of Law, Chi
cago. After practicing law in Jack
sonville and Lincoln, Neb., he served
as a member of the SIND and 53rd
congresses. Having written the "sil-
yer plank" for the Democratic ma
tional convention of 1896 and made
sensational speech, he was nolni-
mated for president, but was defeated
by William Mckinley. Nominated
again in 1900, he was again beaten by
Mckinley, and then established the
Commoner and made a tour of the
world Nominated a third time in
1908. he was defeated by W. H Taft.

Spring Clipping of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. 1t is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as I'M
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
In the morning refreshed and fit for work
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour. whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also row clip the cows all
over two or three times year The TANKS
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

the masses were too hilarious to heed
the request. The weather was pleas
ant and the east front of the capitol
was used for the first time for the in
auguration. In front of it surged
10000 persons who were restrained
only by a great iron chain. Jackson
rode to the capitol on a white horse
and went through the ceremonies with
dignity, and started back to the White
House Then began his troubles, for
the people broke loose with a ven
geance
"The president was literally pursued
by motley concourse of people, rid
ing, running, helter-skelter, striving
who should first gain admittance into
the executive mansion, where it was
understood that refreshments would
be distributed" wrote a contempt
rary, Mrs. Samuel Harrison Smith. In
their mad rush the crowds smashed
furniture and dishes and seized the
food as If they were starving. ''The
confusion became more and more al
palling. At one moment the presi-
pressed against the wall of the apart
ment, could only be secured against
serious danger by a number of gen
tlemen linking arms and forming
themselves into barrier. 1t was
then that the windows were thrown
OPEN and the living throng found an
outlet. It was the peoples day, the
peoples president, and the people
would rule"
Too Much for Harrison.
For II years the Democrats con-
trolled the destinies of the country,
and then the Wings elected William
Henry Harrison, who was iDaugurated
March 4, 1S41. By this time trans
portation was made easier by the
building of railways and the crowd
that flocked to Washington was ira-
mense. 1t was much better behaved
than that which 'honored' Jackson,
but it was hungry for Offices
Cold, wintry blasts swept the streets
OF Washington that March day, and
Harrison, already old and rather
feeble, rode his white horse without
cloak or overcoat, and with his hat
off in salute to the cheering crowds.
The line of march was unprecedent-
edly long, and SO was the inaugural
address, ana then the president led
the procession back to the White
House. The exposure was too much for
him and within one month he was
dead.
When Lincoln Took Hold.
Immensely dramatic was the first
Inauguration Of Abraham Lincoln in
1861. From the day Of his election
threats against his life were numer-
Gus, and detectives discovered and
foiled an organized plot to assassinate
him on his way to Washington. The
big bodies of troops that had been
employed at former inaugurations
merely to add pomp to the occasion
now were used Cor the protection of
the president.
The day had opened cloudy, chilly
and dismal, but as the president step
ped forward to take the oath from
the aged Chief Justice fancy the sun
burst through the clouds and shone
full on the bowed head of the man
VINO was to give up his life for the
country he loved Lincoln himself
notleed this sunburst" and dreU
from it a happy augury.

Myth Traced to English Writer
jackson Fairly Mobbed by
Motley Throna.
BY EDWARD WEBSTER.

From the very beginning of the ma
tion, Inauguration day has generally
been a day Of display and festiYity
for the people OF the United States,
though at times national conditions
have made 1t an occasion more solemn
than joyous. But always the induction
or new president has been note
worthy and interesting event.
When George Washington was in
augurated the first president in 1889,
New York was the temporary capital
of the young nation, and it was there
that the ceremony took place after
General Washington had ridden from
his home at Mount Vernon in what
was much like triumphal progress.
Welcomed to New York
Arriving at Elizabethtown Point,
N j., on April %, he entered barge
rowed by IL pilots clad in white,
and passed through the Kill Won Kull
into New York harbor, which was full
Of all manner of craft gaily decorated
and loaded with cheering crowds. The
Spanish man of war Galveston broke
out the colors Of all nations, and
fired salute of Is guns, to which the
American frigate North Carolina re-
sponded
Finally, on April 80, all was ready
for the Inauguration. Washington
was escorted to Federal hall, then
the capitol, which stood on the site Of
the present sub-treasury at Wall and
Broad streets. The streets had been
filed since sunrise with waiting
crowds, and the enthusiasm was in
tense. In the senate chamber Wash
ington was joined by Adams, Knox,
Hamilton, Won Steuben and few 9th
ers, and all OF them appeared on the
balcony Robert r. Livingston, chan
cellor of New York, administered the
oath and cried Long live George
Washington, president Of the United
States" whereupon there broke out
a mighty tumult of cheering, bell-ring
ing and the noise of cannon. Re-
turning to the senate chamber Pres
ident Washington read his inaugural
address and the history of the
United States under the constitu-
ton began.
Jefferson Story False.
IL you are good Democrat, no
doubt you believe that Thomas Jeffer-
son rode unattended to the capitol on
horseback, tied his horse to the
fence, and was inaugurated with less
ceremony than would attend the TAX
ing of Office by keeper of a dog
pound Such is the old story, but it
is pure myth and is first found in
a book of travels in the United
States written by John Davis, an Eng
lishman. Davis asserted that he was
an eyewitness of the simple ceremony
which he described, but it has been

the same drug found in coffee)
"My wife and drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years ago
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion Of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and half years ago

left memento in the shape Of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but | became convinced, after
time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. I happened to mention
the matter to, my grocer one day and
he suggested that I give Postum
trial.
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it suf-
fciently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however, soon remedied,
and now We like it SO much that we
will never change back. Postum, be-
ing food beverage instead Of drug,
has been the means of banishing my
stomach trouble, 1 verify believe, for
I am a well man today and have used
no medicine.

Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy.

Have you ever stopped to think just
what economy in baking really means2
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving a little on the cost of the mate
rials-the flour, eggs, etc.-fs economy
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder, and save Zoe to 25c.
But both ere wrong. For the real econ
omy-the economy that counts-consists In
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than is saved in
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond doubt Is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor
tie of millions of cooks. 1t absolutely
prevents failures-aSld guarantees sue
cess-which in the end is the same thing
as economy.
Calumet is unfailing-it makes every
baking good--more tasty, more delicious
more evenly raised-simply because 1t is
not only pure and wholesome itself-but
so uniform in quality that you can always
depend upon 1t. Two Worlds Pure Food
Expositions-one at Chicago In 1907, and
the other at Paris, France, In 1912-have
officially pronounced Calumet the best
