Elephants and their 1Yonnu.


Very little is known Of the breeding
habits of elephants or their manner
of caring for their young. A gentle.
man whom we became very well &C.
quainted while on the Mount Kenia
trip, was not a professional elephant
hunter nevertheless he had killed sew
eral elephants on Kilimanjaro. Once
by mistake he shot and wounded a
COW elephant that ran some distance
before falling On overtaking her he
found that she had fallen in kneel
Ing position. A little calf was pinned
under her knee by leg that was driv-
en- deep into the soft earth. A close
examination Of the route over which
the old elephant had passed failed to
reveal any Of the little ones tracks.
This, together with the fact that the
calf was not hitherto seen and the pc
culiar manner in which it lay, might
be taken as proof that the mother was
carrying it in her trunk, or perhaps
resting it on her tusks, with her trunk
holding 1t in position. Outing.

ALL CREATED WITH PURPOSE
Wonderful Possibilities Of Minute
Seeds That Seem to Be Of Such
lnsignlfcance.

Seeds at best are little things, easily
passed by: yet in the whole scheme Of
the universe there Is hardly created
thing Of more mighty Importance, says
a writer III the Craftsman. Primarily
they are responsible for the continu-
ance Of vegetable species; within
them lies the seat Of life. And the
seeds of the earth are multitudinous,
each one having q popularity of form
and color especially its own. One may
hold In the palm Of the hand seeds
similar in appearance and yet so diff
ferent in purpose that only the imagi-
nation can form any conception of the
offspring which 1t is their destiny to
bring forth.
The most. delicate and fairest
aowers, perhaps babys breath and
lovejn-a-mist, may cover. a section OF
the garden as a result Of seeds sown;
and at the game time great oaks
naples, willows. pines, beeches, ashes
and every other form Of tree that
grows, stand in the forest because o.
the seeds sown by the wind or dropped
like acorns, into their places. The
grass forming the greensward about
the home; the gfRsn Of the field giving
food to the multitude, waving corn ant
climbing bean, are all the outcome O
myfiads of seeds possible to hold il

STRIKE SETTLED
Spinners At Putnam WoOleH Company
 Go Back
Settlement Reached Al Conference Wed,
 nesday Afternoon

The striking spinners of the Putnam Woolen company went back to work this Thursday morning after being out just week lacking half day. The men quit work at noon last week Thursday. It is understood that they were dissatisfied with the amount of money received in their pay envelopes and that they demanded guarantee ofila least sl 75 per day when running one jack or s2.00 per day when running two jacks. After the strike was de- elared the weave shop continued to run for a day or two until the yarn on hand and warps were consumed and then practically the whole plant was forced to close. Agent Silas NJ. Wheelock met the men Wednesday afternoon and satisfactory arrangement was reach ed. It has not been given out what the new arrangement is but it is un- derstood that the men were promised that if they returned to work they would not be sorry nor would they be disappointed when pay day came around. Practically all parts of the plant started up this morning except the weave shop and that will start as soon as yarn and warps are made ready. The concern manufactures woolens and cotton mixtures and has been eXeep- tionally free from labor troubles of any kind.

SELF
 SACRIFICE DAY
Sunset Meeting 10 Be Held
On J. B. Tatem's Lawn by Franchise
 League

The Putnam Equal Franchise League will hold Sunset meeting Friday, Aug. l4, at 7.8o o'clock on J. B. Tatem' s lawn, Grove street. This day was chosen by the National Suf- frage Official board as day of sacrifice and service, when all friends of sui. frage through their personal sacrifice might make a contribution to aid the campaign states where the constita- tional amendments are to be voted up- on in November next. This also being Lucy Stones birthday, il is fitting that the week should have been chos' en by the suttragists as Self Denial Week. Her whole life was one of de votion and self denial. Many news papers are devoting space telling what this woman and her husband did in behalf of equal rights for women. Their activities radiated over the whole country, west to the Paeitic coast and south to Texas. These workers were always convinced of the great import ance of aiding the campaign states which, by the way, are Nevada, Mon tana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio and Missouri in l9l4- and this is the main object for which sufiragists are asked 10 give during this Self Denial Week, that speakers may be sent and literature placed in every voters hand where the vote is 10 be taken this fall.
 Mrs. Carlo Miller of Providence also Dr. F.. NJ. Harris, k. H. Johnson and W. J. Bartlett will give short ad- dresses and good meeting is promis- ed to all who attend.

FIREMEN'S FIELD DAY
Athletic Events at High School Grounds
Banquet at Headquarters in the Evening

Putnam firemen have been polishing up their glass arms in anticipation of the base ball game between the False Alarms and the All Outs which is to be feature of ,the tiremen's field day to be held on the High school lot this Thursday afternoon. People have been watching with much curiosity to see little groups of the men disappear in the early evening hours to some vacant lot where curious eyes would not see what was going on and there go through training that had no sem- blance to professional base ball camps.
 Sore arms, legs, and hands followed at first but that is past now and the men are in the pink of condition, and when the False Alarms ring up for the first inning of today's matinee the All Outs promise that two bells will soon strike for their opponents. The best ball tossers in the department have been selected and the winner is to challenge any team in the city. The afternoon will start at fire headquar ters where the men will form in line headed by band and march to the grounds. Besides the base ball game there will be numerous other athletic events, but the national sport will hold the center of the stage.

Whiteside- Strauss Company Rehearsing
 Here
Company Stronger Than Ever Before

Notwithstanding the hot weather the White ,Side.Strauss stock company began rehearsals at eiBradley theatre Monday morning. The company, which is one of the best known stock companies playing New England, is now owned by MT. William Strauss and MT. George NJ. Fine, lessee and manager of the Bradley theatre, who bought half interest in the company some months ago. While number of the old cast is with the company 1t has been strengthened this season. Among the new members are John Whiteman last year with the Ameri- can Stock Company, Philadelphia, and Ralph Mensing, last year a lead at the Brooklyn opera house. These two gentlemen will share the male character leads while Miss Bessie Mae and Miss Hanson, will take the leading female parts. The supporting con- pany includes Miss Menzing, female commedienne, MT. Clarke, comedian of past seasons and well known on the circuit, with MT. Strauss in varied character parts. MT. Strauss says the company was never so strong as this season and the repertoire of new plays that have proved metropolitan sue cesses furnish excellent vehicles for the talent gotten together. Some Of the plays are: Helen Weirs Piece Price; Sins of Society, play that is, said rivals Jimmy Valentines In Wyoming, a western play; In the Heart of Alaska, a successor to the Girl from the Golden West, in which Blanch Bates scored such a success and great political play, the Cover nor and the Boss: Michael Strograff a Russian drama and others. Rehear- sals are held every morning under the supervision of MT. Strauss, who directs all of his productions personally. The scenery has just been turned over py the painters and is all new and fresh as are the properties the company carries in a special car. Mir. Strauss Is a theatrical man of experience but the road show is new venture for Mr. Fine, who has successfully conducted the Bradley theatre here for number of years. Both are young men, alive and progressive and the company never started out under more favor able circumstances. The company will open in this city within few weeks
