called TO his camp for honorable dis
charge. II was while on his expected
way TO camp that he hoped to stop

lace home. but the order didn't come
as expected.

ing that the young soldier has said
of himself that he volunteered as a
private. having been passed at the
recruiting office as physically Al. but
the examining board at the camp
found him with defective foot that
barred him from all except a limit

New York World: 1t would seem that
an elephant would be about the last
thing in the world a man would be able
to steal. Yet in Siam one must keep
a careful watch on such elephants as
he may own, no matter what their size,
lest they be stolen from him. Elephant
stealing in Siam has always been more
or less prevalent, and for some time
past has been a source of much anxiety
to the officials. Regulations were
drawn up about fifteen years ago by the
British and Siamese authorities, with a
view to the suppression of this offense.
Later these were supplemented by addi-
tional regulations, embodying definite
rules for the purchase and sale of ele
plants, and imposing penalties on all
persons in possession of elephants who
are not provided with sale papers prop
erly executed before the local authori
ties Notwithstanding all these precau
tions, elephant stealin: continues ir

plants were stolen from British forest
ers, representing a loss of some $4,000
