She had ideas for tightening the bur

their lives happier. and she wished to
tell the farm women OF the world

Just before she departed for the con-

 - 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 Truman and Richards, his keepers, lassoed the huge animal and stretched him across his cage. one foot tied securely to each side.
 It 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. pr. 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.
 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 as in- stinctively as with their worries. Gum da could have slammed Richards to the floor with his trunk or with one leg and planted foot on him. With one grind of his foot the mans life would have been crushed out. Five tons of elephant coming down on him would have finished Richards in the fraction of second.
 But the events of the day before, if not his stretching" had taken the fight out of Gunda. "The old boy cer- tainly misses that tusk." said Truman. "It was pie for him to make us jump around by making a few passes at us with the ivory prong. He never batted an eye at Dick while he worked around his legs. And he hates Dick like poi son.
 Our way of handling him is to let him think Dick is his enemy and I'm

live lamb or goat across their saddle bows and carry bags of cornmeal in the same manner.
 When they cannot afford horse or a burro. as is nearly always the case, they ride on top of the transport trains. Each family must watch its live stock, for if it strays away 1t never returns. There are too many hungry men in Mexico.
 The insides of these trains are given over to the horses, and when a 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- 1 can housewife comes into her own. The goats or sheep are killed and 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 a rel | ish despite the frightfuly insanitary condition of the surroundings. Dishonest as the Mexican peon is re- garding articles of value there seems to be a very finely drawn code of honor governing the purloining of food. It is very seldom indeed that one soldier de- liberately steals food from another Of course if it happens to be four footed food and strays his way it becomes another matter and he takes it with out a qualm of conscience.
 l 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 chil- dren. Some bring fruit. some vege- tables, some lucky enough to steal a 1 chicken, while once In awhile one leads in q sheep whose owner was not look ing.
 | The life of these war children Is TO- 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 chil- dren will turn up again some day at the head of roaming brigand bands and make more trouble.
 | The women greet the little marau- ders with a varying measure of ap- l proval and set about to prepare the evening meal. When every one is fed | the hunt begins for a place to sleep, free from dampness and mosquitoes. The men are left at their posts; wo- men and children trek to some roadway l in the distance or to a railroad station. Asphalt platforms are favored, and heavily guarded stations constitute a safer place.
 When night falls hundreds of bodies which for days and days have not | known the comfort of disrobing or bathing are stretched on the ground, hands and heads wrapped up securely 1 in serapes or rebozos At the first rays of sun the weary. unwaShed mothers wake up their weary, unwashed prog eny and make their way to the hills or l the passes where the men are on guard Fields and orchards yield the constituents of the morning meal.

the waste. got halfway into it two years ago when he attacked me, but he ran his tusk through my leg and pulled me out. I was knocked uncon- scious, and I don't know yet how Dick saved me. He doesn't know himself, he was so excited. Both Gunda and Dick thought I was dead, and he man. aged to drive the elephant back with the hook and dragged me through the bars"
 The new swivel chains that Gunda now wears are heavier than his former chains and longer, so that he has more freedom. Truman is sure that he is coming out of his period of distemper and will be more tractable from now on. He even lay down at Thuman's command and by every sign was not looking for further trouble. As re- ward for his good behavior he was fed with young carrots and cabbages and green corn stalks. a veritable banquet to Gunda.

 Despite his viciousness. Gunda IS particularly fond of children and shows his liking for the little ones on almost every occasion. His keepers say that even when he is in his most violent tantrums the sight of a child mas wonderfully soothing effect on him. They declare that a child is safe in the elephants keeping at any time. Gun- da is the one elephant that the keep erS never are sure of. All others have beA made tractabe in time. but they never can tell what Gunda is going to do next
 We can do anything with Gunda in the fall or winter" said one of bis keepers. but in the hot weather we are deathly afraid of him. Like all elephants. he is tricky. and some days when he has led us to think that he was in a particularly peaceful frame of mind he would cut up in the wildest sort of pranks. and it would be worth any ones life to go near him"

the Orange riots and many of the vari- ous union demonstrations up to the present time. There really seems, at first thought, no reason why the two should be coupled. The degree of ca- loric as indicated by the innocent look ing thermometer, seems to have noth- ing to do with the domination of man over his moral nature. To suppose that man is influenced to crime by the mere fact that the weather is 20 de- grees higher than would be really com- fortable is to suppose him a poor crea- ture, indeed. but that is the fact.
 No ordinary man can be expected to see his wife and children sleeping on the stones of the sidewalks or the bare roofs of the tenement houses and pre- serve his amiablity. His irritation at their and his own physical discomfort is likely to assume a spirit of resent ment against those who are more for tunate.

Few persons ap- preciate how slight cause may in- crease the friction of the great ma- chine we call commerce and how greatly that friction may delay it's working. A sick horse, a sun struck laborer, an overworked and wilted messenger. a lazy clerk or any other one of the direct results of hot weather may interfere with an enterprise of great importance. and such things do tevery summer, and especially every hot day in summer, delay operations to such an extent that they are counted on as regular incidents of business
