discussed. The patient was young
man, apparently less than thirty. His
beard was Of several days growth, the
clothing that had been taken from him
was of good material. but travel stain-
ed and worn. The face indicated re-
ilnement and culture. It would have
been pleasant to look at In repose but
for the deathly pallor that spread over
it. Not knight Of the road, that was
evident. Probably some poor fellow
who had known better days. but now
one of the great army Of unfortunataa.
Had he a family? Who could tell?
HE will recover" said the doctor,
and those who looked saw q return Of
respiration. In q few moments his
eyes opened. They expressed mingled
wonder, establishment and anxiety. He
tried to speak. but could not.

then he relapsed into blessed uncon.
sciousness.
A half hour later he had recovered
sufficiently to tell his story. He had
come from Indian territory and was on
his way east. -Four little ones were un-
der his care-his own. Three years
ago he had left his homo in eastern
Pennsylvania with his wife and two
babies and gone west. For awhile he
prospered. Two moro babies blessed
the happy couple; then came failure
of his crops. followed by depression
and hard times. The wife sickened and
died. Things went from bad to worse
and finally. he sold out. paid his debts
and started back to the old homestead.
He had left the babies with motherly
woman, who gave him food and was to
return in an hour. He started out to
look for work or charity. He refused
to 60 to the hospital and after about
two hours treatment was allowed to
leave.

When they cannot afford horse or a
burro. as is nearly always the case,
trains. Each family must watch ito
live stock. for If it strays away 1t never
returns. There are too many hungry
men in Mexico.
The fnsides Of these trains are given
over to the horses, and when stop is
made for the day the animals are
taken out and staked together in the
open. It is at this hour that the Mexi-
can housewife comes into her own. The
goats or sheep are killed and a small
charcoal fire is built alongside or on
the dirt floor Of the car, Here the
evening meal of tortillos and broiled
meat is prepared and eaten with rel
ish despite the frightfully insanitary
condition of the surroundings.
Dishonest as the Mexican peon is re-
garding articles of value, there seems
to be very finely drawn code Of honor
governing the purloining Of food. 1t is
very seldom indeed that one soldier de-
liberately steals food from another. OF
course II it happens to be four footed
food and strays his way 1t becomes
another matter and he takes 1t with
out a Qualm Of conscience. q ..,s.s
The reason for all this carrying and
preparing Of food lies in the fact that
the government supplies transportation
for wives and children, but makes no
commissary allowance for them.
Therefore they must rustic up their
own food or starve. A great deal Of
foraging is done by the half grown chill
dren. Some bring fruit some vege-
tables. some lucky enough to steal a
chicken. while once in awhile one leads
in q sheep whose owner was not look

The life Of these war children is ro-
mantle. They receive a thorough
training in self help and also grow
adept in the art Of seizing deftly all
the things they need. Those war chill

first thought, no reason why the two

ONDAs the Dig rogue elephant
who has been the principal
attraction at the Bronx zoo.
~ In New York, all summer, Is
about to enter his annual period of
tractability. according to his keeper.
During his recent ructions he broke
one Of the chains which have held him
for the past two years and incidentally
Clipped about fifteen inches off his
only remaining tusk. In order to bring
him around Thurman and Richards. his
keepers, lassoed the huge animal and
stretched him across his cage. one foot
tied securely to each side.
1t only took one day Of this sort Of
treatment to make him behave per-
fectly, and new chains were procured
and the task of putting them on was
begun at once.
The substitution Of the new chains
for the old might easily have proved
a more hazardous task than that Of
the day before, when the keepers cap
tured him after the chain on his front
leg had dropped off and he had been
practically at liberty in his cage for
three days. DR.. Hornaday was not at
all certain that the stretching would
prove to have taught Gunda submis-
sion. It was possible that it might
have served only to make him re-
vengeful.
The keepers began by easing up on
the rope and chain that held his right
front leg. Then Truman, holding In
his hands the hook which the elephants
dread, commanded him to move over.
Satisfied, apparently. that this move
was being made for his own good, Gun
da sidestepped across the cage to the
spot near the wall where he has been
chained for the last two years. 81.
Richards then went into the cage by
the side door. Truman stood near his
head. hook In hand, ready to draw the
elephants attack to himself in case
Gunda tried to turn on Richards.
To make the chain fast to the big
staple sunk In the concrete floor
Richards had to pass under Gunda's
body. This Is the most venturesome
move that can be made around him,
now that he has broken both his tusks.
Elephants fight with their feet az In
stinctively as with their ivories Gum
da could have slammed Richards to ths
floor with his trunk or with one leg
and planted foot ON him. With one

" IFE in the city is undoubtedly an
advantage from social and
business standpoint, but when
G-6 the dreaded heat wave strikes
congested districts it becomes a YER
table torture. No matter how strong
the sun in the open country. there is
always some shady spot where a re-
freshing breeze can be found. Not so
in the city, for the only shady spots
are indoors, where no stray breeze
can ever find its way and the hard con-
crete of the streets and courtyards
radiates heat in shimmering clouds. It
Is no uncommon matter at all to pick
ones way along some human laden
street in the slums and see the heat ris-
ing in waves from the scorching pave
ment.
Another effect of the hot weather is
that it greatly increases lawlessness.
Heat waves and crime waves seem to
be coincident. In New York city, for
instance. all of the worst public dis
turbances have occurred in July.

A SUPREME FOLLY

That there should be some bust
ness disturbance following a re-
duction of the high tariff duties
was inevitable. That much of
the depression was artificial can
not be disputed. Does any ration
al human being doubt that the
tariff interests would fight to the
last ditch to maintain their unlaw-
full profits? They had many times
warned the public that it would be
unsafe to interfere with them. 1t
was an open boast of standpat
statesmen at the beginning of the
tariff session under the present ad-
ministration that "the protected
interests would make the Ameri-
can people pay dearly for their
folly in the election of 1912; that
when a few million laborers had
been laid off, and the balance had
suffered a cut in their wages; that
when the banks reduced the credit
line and people were made to feel
the pinch, they would be eager to
bring Aldrich and Cannon back
and beg them to make the wheels
go round"
The interests could afford to
take small present loss on man
ufactured depression to restore
their privileges of monopoly and
huge profits for another long high
tariff period.
And 30 we have had our season
of business depression"-a small
measure of it the logical result of
tariff changes, necessary during
the period of readjustment from
the false, artificial, inflated basis
to sound, honest, stable basis of
actual values. There was no rea-
son for business depression of a
radical or general character.

COMPARABLE TO LINCOLN

Woodrow Wilson is Abraham
Lincoln with educational advan-
tages-born and bred in different
environment. The same primitive
virtues, refined and set in order;
the same directness, sincerity and
tenacity of purpose; the same self
forgetfulness in thought for the
country. Lincoln's exterior char
acteristics were picturesque be-
cause back of them lived the man.
1t is idle to contend that had the
rail-splitter done his sums on a
blackboard in well-appointed
school room instead of on the back
of fire shovel in the hickering
light of a backlog, it would have
been a disadvantage. His life
among back woodsmen and from
tiersmen gave him insight to the
character of the more primitive
man, the foundation strength OF
new and expanding country. Miss
ing this, except by study, magma
ton, feeling, Woodrow Wilson
knows the men of the world. In
neither instance was environment,
education of opposite kind, able to
keep back development. The quail
ity of manhood asserts itself and
is identioal-San Francisco Star

orally conceded that the car they
will market this Fall will set a
new standard in automobile

the fact that no word has been

fact, the reputation of Dodge
Brothers is such that the best
