Elephant Had Toothache.

"Charlie" Snyder, keeper of the ele-
plants at the New York zoo, was lean
ing up against Alice discussing ele-
plants in general and Alice in par
ticular. He allowed that Alice had
toothache. Lonesome" he said. "Why,
this poor thing can't have the slightest
ailment but that she cries like a big
baby. 1 saw her standing with her
head M that corner and l knew that
something had made her blue again.
When came In she opened her mouth,
and 1 saw that her teeth were sore.
Now she's all right, but If 1 go out
she'll make more noise than a couple
Of herds have any right to make"
AS Mr.. Snyder talked Alice moved
from one foot to the other, humping
him. After discussing the peculiar
tiles OF an elephants mouth, he told
Alice to open hers. Alice did, and al
lowed the keeper to show where the
medicine had been rubbed. This done.
she closed her mouth, stopped bump
ing Mr.. Snyder and walked slowly
over to the corner. She put her head
down into the piled up fodder and
stood quite still.

Wished She Was a Sailor.

With raiders and U-boats making
every voyage an adventure, sailors are
wild to get back from trips to hear all
about what is going on and to tell of
their own experiences. The wife Of
seaman who had returned from q
three months cruise called at the Sea-
mems institute in New York to wait
for him. Presently he came up South
street with four other seamen of his
ship. All were singing as they pound
ed along. Their vessel had been chased
by German raider. The waiting wife
met the seaman. She threw her arms
about him while he stood looking
straight ahead. "Slmon," said the fond
wife, you don't seem a bit anxious to
see me. The little home is all ready
for you and I'm so glad you are back"
$50 am l." said Simon, mechanically
putting his arms about her. $50 l

German Care Of the Wounded.

An American newspaper man writing
from Germany, where he had been al
lowed an opportunity to study the sys-
TEN of sanitary and medical service in
the army, makes the interesting state
ment that it is not only extremely
thorough, but that the conservation of
life and limb is the policy and practice
of the surgeons. That is, their great
endeavor is to save life and to avoid
amputatiOn of legs or arms where it is
possible, says the indianapolis Star.
That they have remarkable success
ia indicated by the fact that out of
1857 severely wounded men brought
to a certain field hospital within Il
given four weeks, but II died. Out of
hundreds of operations performed, only
one was an amputation of limb.
There is no postbattle butchery by
eager young surgeons, for no operation
is performed until it is pronounced
necessary by a competent head sur
geOn.

Snake Problem.

This is not new but it's worth re-
peating. A man in Zion City, ILL.,, sent
it to the News:
Two Zion City snakes, of which
there are abundance on the lake front
property, had fight. One was gar
ter snake and the other a bullhead."
Each was three feet long and in their
ferocity they seized each other by the
tail and proceeded to swallow each
other whole. They both started at the
same time and at the same rate of
speed.
Now the question is, which of these
two snakes survived, or rather which
one was on the outside by the time the
other was swallowed, the garter snake
or the bullhead?
1t took five minutes for IRE two
snakes to swallow each other and they
both swallowed each other right to
the tip of the fangs. Which one was
on the outside when they were finished
or were they both inside?-Indianap-
oils News.

Do You Neglect
Your Machinery?

The machinery of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that of
his horse or his engineer Yet most peoS
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once a week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, if you will
take a pleasant laxative made up of
the May-apple, juice Of the leaves of
aloeS, root of jalap, and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain at almost any
drug store in this country these vege-
table pellets in walls for 25c-simply
ask for DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
There can be no counterfeit if they
have the DIR. Pierce stamp. Proven
good by 90 years use.

Mrs. NJ. J. Porter, and Mrs. J..

the body heat. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medication
through the air passages to the lungs.

through the skin, relieving the tight

HIS VOICE FROZEN TO POST
ming Weather Observes From a
Very Peculiar Phenomenon.

Scoffers have arisen from time to
weather reports are a joke in so far
as they deal with the future; but their
descriptions of the present and past
are admittedly serious and accurate.
Therefore one must not read in too
jOvial a frame of mind the report of
David Moore, observer at Castle Rock,
Wyo., where they have been having
some very cold weather. Mr.. Moore
cites in his report that one night two
men stopped at his cabin, and the next
morning he tried in vain to call one
of them, who was at the barn, to come
to breakfast. But the man did not
come. So the two sat down to break
fast without him. In about ten min
utes the man in the barn strolled into
the house.
"Why didn't you call me when break
fast was ready?" he asked.
81 did," was the answer.
That was during the cold snap. A
thaw hit Castle Rock few days ago,
Moore says, and while he was stand
ing in the back door summing himself,
he was startled by weird medley of
cOunds. By listening closely he could
hear the words:
"Come on to breakfast"
There was no one in sight. And then
he realized why the man had not heard
him.
The voice, his own voice, had frozen
to post and was thawing out.-Bos.

is the first time this has occurred IN the

less the New York concern will give the
