Wednesday morning before United
States Commissioner Frank u. Far
rington in this city, on complaint OF
United States Deputy Marshal Har-
mon Of Portland, that Grondin was
retail liquor dealer without having
paid the United States tax, and bound
over in the sum of $500 for appearance
at the April term of the United States
district court at Portland. swallowed
dose of bichloride of mercury early
Saturday morning and lay down on one
of the Maine Central Railroad yard
tracks at Waterville. The shifting en-
CINE crew noticed him in time to pre-
vent the engine running over him and
he was taken to a hospital. The large
amount Of poison taken prevented the
immediate fatality and he was still
alive at a late hour Saturday night
but small hopes are entertained for
his recovery. 1t Is supposed that wor-
ry over the case mentioned above was
the cause Of his act.

worth the effort of any man in this city.

THE LABORS OF THE ELEPHANT

Since 1886 the export of teakwood
from Burma has increased enormous
ly, but despite the phenomenally high
price of the wood, it would not be
profitable to work it even in these
days, without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants, massive
animals whose strength is almost un-
limited, are seen at their best as
beasts of burden
