ITS DEATH IS DUE TO TERROR
Sight of Circus Elephant Too Much
for Nerves of Horse Already
Exhausted.

A horse attached to a buggy and
driven by Sam Brown, North Main
street merchant, dropped dead fol-
lowing fright when circus elephant
passed along the streets.
Brown went before Squire Kearney
and got out an attachment against one
of the shows zebras. The instrument
was served by deputy from Kear-
ney's court and the parade went out
minus one zebra.
Managers of the circus finally set
tied matters with Brown by paying
him for the horse
1t was late one afternoon when ami
mails from the show had been un-
loaded and walked from the train to
the grounds.
Brown had the buggy standing ne.r
Decatur street. His horse paid no
attention to the camels, the hunch-
back oxen or other classes of what
circus men call hay animals They
passed without causing it to raise it's
eyes.
Presently there came out of cloud
of dust a giant elephant. Its head
was erect, and when its driver
speared it just the least bit to make it
mind there came a noise like a boy
yelling down a rain barrel and
Browns horse reared on it's hind legs.
1t lunged forward and then fell
over. There was kick or two from
it and the animal was dead-Mem-

Scots Tanoo-strlcken.

Tango is to be the rage In Edinburgh
during the present dancing season.
Such is a plain statement in conven-
tional language, which is all the more
emphatic because of its directness.
In fact, all Scotland is in the grip of
the tango craze. 1t has spread to
Scottish bathrooms, and is suppressed
ing the waltz and the two-step. Soon
the fascinating importation from the
Argentine. say the authorities, will
blot every other dance out of the ball
room program.
Tango as taught in Edinburgh by all
the teachers of dancing without ex-
ception is a dance of infinite beauty
and charm, and one requiring a con-
siderable amount of talent in which to
be proficient The teachers of dancing
in Edinburgh are very conservative in
their methods.

FIRST IN WIRELESS" FIELD
James Bowman Lindsay, Scotsman,
Known to Have Had the Idea as
Far Back az 1853.

In apportioning the honors due to
the pioneers of wireless telegraphy,
chief among whom is the late Sir
William Preece, a modest worker of
90 years ago deserves a tribute.
James Bowman Lindsay, a Forfar-
shire (Scotland) man. began expert
menting with electricity in 1920 In
few years he produced constant
stream Of light" which was the adj
miration of scientists He sent mes
sages over wires and delivered many
lectures on an electric telegraph.
Then, In 1853, he invented a system
Of wireless telegraphy and submitted
1t to public test, regarding which
Dundee paper of April IL, 1853, said:
The experiment removes all doubt
Of the practicability of Mr.. Lindsay's
invention; and there Is every reason
to think that it will soon connect con-
tinent with continent and island with
island. in one unbroken line of com
munication."
Lindsay's lectures were advertised
under the title of "Telegraphing With
out Wires" so that the familiar wire
less" itself was anticipated. But he
was more than scientific experiment
talist- He projected dictionary in so
languages and labored on it for a quar-
ter Of century. 1t was too huge q
task, and the "Pentecontaglossal Die
tionary' exists in an unfinished state
only in manuscript. He also compiled
with more success a set of astronomi-
cal tables for the use Of chonologists.
Yet this astonishing man never en-
joyed more than an income Of $3.50
year as teacher until the eve of his
death, when the prime minister grant
ed him pension OF $500 Sin recogni-
ton of his great learning and extra
ordinary attainments."

Giving Themselves Away.

The late Mayor Gaynor was one day
censuring a hypocrite.
"Hypocrites, he said, whether they
are correcting the social evil or stary-
ing factory girls, always give them
selves away. They remind me of the
tramp.
THE gentleman who ran into this
tramp had gone out on an all-day fish
ing trip, taking his lunch with him.
When he reached the river side, he
discovered that he had dropped his
lunch somewhere on the way, and SO
he hurried back to look for it.
After while he met a fat, healthy
tramp. who strolled along sucking a
toothpick and looking very well
pleased with life.
did you pick up anything on the
road as you came along?" the gentle
man asked.
Nor, sir, not me, boss" said the
tramp. Il didn't pick up nothin
Couldn't dog have found it and ct
1t, sire"

Girl PLAYED Ghost

A ghost has been laid low at Paris.
Alarmed every night by mysterious
noises, some tenants of an apartment
house gave notice to leave. The land
lord had recourse to the police, and
three detectives spent a night in the
house At midnight the mufIled beats
began as usual Revolvers in hand the
detectives searched every room until
at last they found a little girl of thir-
teen, Yvonne, Vancrevening, sitting in
her nightdress on the side of her bed
and kicking the shaft conveying the
water and gas pipes through the build
ing. She said she liked to hear the
neighbors in the morning talking about
the ghosts of the night before. The
metal carried the sound to every room
in the house.

Learn Wisdom From IN. sax.o...

A lay sermon by William Allen
White: "A young cub, who has fifty
thousand a year, Is in trouble in New
York-young lady trouble. Which is
natural enough. Any youth who has
fifty thousand year to spend Is go
ing to get into trouble spending It.
Work is the thing that keeps youth
straight; work is the one medicine
that cures youth of it's vast and stu
pendous folly. If a young man has
fifty thousand year to spend, he has
no more chance Of being decent than
a monkey. In South Africa, in the
interior, the native custom provides
that all the young negroes shall go to
bed at dusk In tree houses reached
by ladders. and the smart old men
come and take the ladders down. But
give young man $4,000 to spend,
let him sit up nights, and give him
access to the ladder at all hours of
the night. and he will go to the Bad
Place sure. Can 1t be that the Afri-
can savages know more of life than
we do?"

"A secondhand set of golf Iinks?"
exclaimed the astonished assistant
Yes. You see it's this way. Me
and my wife have just opened a smart
boarding house, and as we have a
pretty sized yard, thought it would
