SHOW GRATITUDE FOR RELIEF
Every Demonstration of Thank
~fuIness to the Dentist.

1t is not easy to tell when an ele'
plant has got the toothache, but it is
best to keep out of his way when you
do know it. A London surgeon, who
had been for many years in India, says
he would sooner risk a railway acct.
dent than meet an elephant with tooth.
ache.
1t appears that toothache affects an
elephant in a more severe manner than
it does any other animal. Elephants
have very sensitive nerves. and a
touch of toothache often brings on
madness.
Providing you are able to chain
down an elephant and draw out the
offending tooth, the brute is certain
to be affectionate to you afterward.
Here is an instance.
An elephant in Bengal, India, became
affected with toothache, but the keep
ers managed to secure it while a den.
tist drew a decayed tooth-the cause
of the trouble. After a time the ele.
pbant seemed to understand that the
dentist was trying to do something for
his pain, and he gave every evidence
OF approaching the attention. When
the operation was over he frisked
round the dentist like a young lamb.

DIVIDED INTO TWO CLASSES
World May Be Said to Be Made Up
of Those That Dream and Those
That Sleep.

On a suburban trolley car we met
a pleasant-faced butcher who ascribed
his success in life to the fact that he
sleeps soundly all the time he is abed,
except sometimes for the first three
minutes. Successful men in this world
might be divided into two sorts-the
dreamers and the sleepers. The sue
cess of a nation depends indeed upon
the right proportion being maintained
between these two classes in the COM
munity; if the sleepers achieve too
complete a dominance, that nation be-
comes Boeotian in it's stOlidity and con-
neutrality-suspicious., perhaps, in the
things men buy and sell, but without
leadership or initiative or beauty. If,
on the other hand, your nation runs
to dreamers-and even your plodding
clerks and butchers dream o. nights
instead of sleeping all but the first
three minutes-then, as the old-fash-
Toned almanacs used to say, look out
for storms, revolutions, ~upheavals in
art and letters, the invention of new

thing except the durable satisfactions
of life. 1t is a curious business, this
matter Of dreaming. If we dreamers
succeed we owe it to superior imigi-
nation" If we ignobly fail we are Wis
ionaries and impractical idealists and
well meaning theorists. The child is
a dreamer; as we grow older and APP
proach more closely the beasts of the
fields or the king in his counting
room, counting out his money, the
farther we get from childhood and
from dreams. And yet it is only the
imbecile or the hardened criminal that
does not dream at all-and this is not
an editorial theory either, but science
out of a book.-Collier's Weekly.

ENDING or THE GOLDEN DAY
Worlds Sorry Recompense to Youth
That Has Given 1t All lts

Youth came into the market place
half dazed by the dazzling brilliance OF
the sun, but with strong hands and a
ready spirit. Youth found a master
and was happy even when surcharged
with labor and meagerly rewarded II
denied sunshine. Youth gave largely
of service and of loyalty-for OF these
things Youth was prodigal, De-
ing richer in them than in dollars.
Years rolled by, and Youth was less
quick, and showed the pallor OF work
ing indoors for small recompense.
Then one day the master reflected and
said to himself: (Which of my hand
maids has less to give me in the time
to come? For l must keep In my
house only those whose backs are
strong and feet eager and hands SUD-
tie" And she whose name had been
Youth passed languidly, and the mas

as once, and he reflected: "A rev
years and she will be of much less
value to me, and | shall be paying her
as much as her labor is worth to me
which would be no bargain. Better
dismiss her today than tomorrow.
And he called to her and said: MY
plans are altered, Youth, and I no
longer need you here. Take two
weeks, look about YOU, and be sure
that I shall give you a letter of rec
ommendation saying that / have found
you a fairly faithful servant in such
matters as you understand" And
tears came into Youths eyes. knowing
that she was Youth no longer. but an
empty vessel.-Collier's Weekly.

Turtle Of Great Ace.

A huge turtle weighing 1,175 pounds
was brought to San Diego. CAL, the
other day by Capt. j. Zollezzi of the
Italian fishing launch Belvedere. The
turtle, said by waterfront men to be
the largest specimen ever caught in
Lower California waters, is nine feet
in circumference, and sever feet from
the tip Of it's nos to the end of its
short tail. The front fippers are four
feet in length and almost a foot wide,
tapering gradually until at tho end
they are about five inches wide. The
jaws are a solid mass of teeth, over
200 being located in the upper jaw.
They range from one-half to a quarter
of an inch in length. The shell is
ribbed and in spots pliable, which leads
many fishermen to believe the turtle
is nearly two hundred years old.

reddie Welsh Whipped Again in
Ten-Round Bout.

between Charlie White and Joe
Shugrue for the championship of the
licking Freddie Welsh club.
.Shugrue thoroughly whipped Welsh
last night, forcing him to cover alb
jectly in three rounds and slowing
him up in several others. In spite of
the fact that there was not knock
down, Shugrue's superiority stuck
out like the tower of the Singer build
ing.
Welsh seemed oVerworked and
showed the effects of too much fight !
ing in the last few weeks. He was
slow and plainly stale. Shugrue beat !
him to nearly every punch and was
on top of his man all the time. Welsh |
landed few punches on Shugrue's i
head, but did little damage.
Shugrue's best work was in the |
eighth and ninth, when he rocked |
Welsh with succession of smashing |
wallops, opening a cut over the Brit |
on's eye.
Young Dempsey writes to challenge
any man in the middle west who can

MISS ABBOTT URGES NATIONAL
LABOR EXCHANGE

Grace Abbott yesterday urged ma
tional labor exchange to prevent i'm
migrant labor being exploited. Miss
Abbott spoke before the Women's
Trade Union League.
Its not the presence of the immi-
grant that causes the difficulties"
said Miss Abbott, land the problem
can't be solved by restricting immi-
grafton. It's rather the inadequate
system of balancing the supply and
demand for immigrant labor.
This can be accomplished most
satisfactorily by establishing a ma
tional agency through which immi-
grant labor may be diverted to the
sections of the country where it is
needed most"

TWO GERMAN NAN A|RMEN =,
KILLED IN BATTLE
French Machine Brings Down
Teutonic Plane.

Bordeaux, Oct. 8.-Omcial dis
patches received by the French war
department give a graphic account Of
an aerial duel watched by thousands
of soldiers of the French and German
armies, Monday, at Jonchery, in the
region of Rheims.
A German aeroplane ascended with
two men and after circling over the
French positions was returning to its
own lines when Sergeant Frantz, a
French aviator, accompanied by his
mechanic, Quinault, gave chase.
BY skillful maneuver the French
aeroplane took the German on the
flank and wounded the pilot and put a
bullet through the gasoline tank.
A sheet of flame enveloped the Ger
man machine and it dropped, landing
close to the French lines. In the de-
scent the unwounded man continued
to fire his pistol until prevented by the
flames.
Sergeant Frantz came to earth in a
series of magnificent spirals. Both
Germans were found burned to death
in the embers of their machine. Frantz
was decorated with the Legion of
Honor and Quinault was awarded the
military medal.

Der of personal friends in all parts

1of wears ago, dubbed him the "Friend

"For a man whose heart is filled with
good will, and who will do more hard
work, and make more real sacrlnces
to bring happiness to the sick and
unfortunate, DR.. J. A. Dubois, when
he comes to democratic convention
can start a fight in a shorter time
than any man among the unterrifed.
He is not the kind Of man to train
with any kind of machine, and those
who depend wholly on machine meth
DDS to achieve results are most de-
!ighted when he shakes hands and
departs for home. He is a ready de-
batter, physician Of the highest
standing, and there is no tin foil
around his heart.' ..
His famous campaign of twelve
years ago is still remembered in the
state and especially by the citizens
Of the old Sixth district. AS then con-
stituted it was an overwhelmingly
republican district, yet it was found
necessary to put in the field. two
United States senators, four of the
ablest republican congressman, and
enlist Theodore Roosevelt's tremen-
dous popularity in order to defeat
him; and in the face Of these tre-
mendous odds he gave the republicans
the fight Of their lives.
DR.. Dubois is naturally Of radical
tendencies. He advocated progressive
reforms before progressiveism had be-
come political catch.word, but he is
man of intense practibility withal
and a natural constructionist. He be-
lieves in the vision but also in the
realization of the vision. AS he him
self states: "When the opportunity
comes you must put feet under your
dreams and cause them to walk. They
are Of no value if they are forever
