WHY ELEPHANTS HAVE SHORT TAILS.

Once upon a time many millions and
trillions Of years ago. when the world
was still but a baby, there lived a
witch in the middle Of a lake.
A funny thing was that all the ami
mails were of the same size, and that
size was very big. Rabbits and squir-
rels were just as big as the elephant
then. The elephants had great, long
busy tails just like squirrels ave now.
but they lost them, and 1t was all on
account Of the first elephant being de-
ceitful.
Now the old witch was very fond Of
the animals. To get to her little island
in the middle of the lake was a long
log, which rested one end on her yard,
and the other on the land.
One day the parrot, who vas a great
gossip, came and told the witch that
something wonderful was happening.
there was q great e on the
other side OF the world, and that in it
was an island, and on 1t lived a man.
This made the witch very angry, for she
did not want anyone else on earth. SO
she made an awful magic and set out on

There are no domestic Issues that the
people will listen to possible for the Re-

for disregarding foreign questions,

THE chief foreign question referred to-
of course, is the manner in which Presi-
dent Wilson has handled the situation

part of the Russian artillery, its muni-
