or she would like to have for Xmas.
These letters must be not longer
than 100 words and We much prefer
them to be written by the children
themselves. All the letters that
come in early enough will be print

Soap and a King.

Soap used to provide King James
|. with a comfortable addition to
his income. That canny monarch
granted the company of soapmakera
of Westminster the monopoly foi
the making Of soap = England in
return for the payment of $50 a
ton on all soap produced. The i'm
portation of soap was forbidden. and
officers were appointed to deal with
illicit soap boiling, its manufacture
even in private houses for domestic
purposes being punishable by heavy
penalties. Moreover, a proclama-
ton was issued that "the soap made
by the company is good. sweet and
serviceable for our people. The
annual revenue derived by the king
from this source amounted to about
S15O.O00.

A MARVEL or STEALTH.
This Hord Of Elephants Were Appar'
emily Sod With Silence.


Innocent!y meandering through
an African forest, ar. <. Il. Bron-
son and his hunting companion,
neither of whom had seen wild
elephants, much less hunted them,
found themselves in the middle OF
a feeding herd, but hidden from the
unwieldly animals by the under
brush. "In Closed Territory the
author describes the experience:
1t proved to be our day to learn
lot about the elephants whims
and what he can do when he
likes. Of course the creek lay be-
tween US, which might seem a pro-
lection, but it was not. They all
whirled and thundered away from
US. But scarcely had we gone a
hundred feet before the whole herd
came plunging back upon their
tracks at the same mad pace.
They stopped stock still ten
yards from US, as we afterward
proved, but they were hidden from
US as before. This time they were
punched in a half circle about US.
For probably ten minutes there
was utter silence; then they started
feeding and amusing themselves as
before. This continued for per-
haps fifteen minutes, when all
sound ceased again, and the wood
was as still as if they had all drop
ped dead.
And there we sat for the larger
part of an hour, wondering how
long an afternoon siesta well regu-
lated elephant families usually take
We were in constant expectation
of renewed movement by some OF
the herd. We could have sworn
that they were still within the 'o'a
Of biscuit.
But when presently slight stir
among the leaves directly before
Outram made us throw up our rifles
out stepped Akuna, who had raced
out of our sight at the first stam-
pede. He brought the incredible
intelligence that the elephants were
gone out of the bush and were dis
appearing off toward the north.
Magic! No prestidigitator could
touch this vanishing act of tons and
tons of ambulant weight done under
our very noses in country where
we pygmies could hardly stir with
out causing a racket. . And yet 1t it
proved to be true. They were all
gone, by what miracle of stealth |
doubt if the oldest elephant hunter
could tell.
