THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions That
Are Made by Inhabitants of the
Emerald Island.

ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen as of three distinct kinds or
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extent in the En-
erald isle, but two centuries ago, and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as (one) the "half-mount-
ed (two) the gentleman every inch
of him. and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants Of Cromwell's soldiers, who, If
they could ride well, were called
"Buckskin Breaches" or ''Squireens."
The second class was composed of
descendants of old families whose es-
tates had been forfeited to the crown
(for rebellion or other reasons), and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for a living, in trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the backbone"-co the old
stock, or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor of the
peasantry pertaining to their domains.

THE ELEPHANTS.

'Mr. Jock Elephant was very
smart ANIMAL commenced Daddy.
"He had fine memory as most Of
the Mr.. Elephants have and was real
ly a good deal brighter than Mrs.
Jock Elephant.
.'They had two fine children, one was
boy elephant named Ted and the
other a girl elephant, only two months
old, named Title.
Nov Mrs. Jock Elephant had been
very cross for whole month after Til
lie had been born. She had been so
afraid something would happen to her
beautiful elephant baby that she was
angry with everyone else who spoke
to her and who took her attention
away from her baby.
s'Mr.. Jock Elephant remembered that
Mrs. Jock behaved the same way for
a month after Ted had been born. She
was so jealous and so careful of her
babies she loved them so much that
no harm must come to them. And for
a whole month there was always dam
ger. After that they were stronger
and better able to look after them
selves.
Mrs. Jock Elephants home was in
the ZOO and the keeper took excellent
care of her and of her family. But
still she behaved just as she would
have acted if she had been out in the
jungles where she would have guarded
her baby SO carefully. The keeper
knew this and understood how she felt
so he was kinder to her than ever.
''But the time was past for Mrs.
Jock to be cross, and once more she
was very pleasant. They had fine
meal one day of water and hay which
they like above everything else and to
show how much they appreciated it,
they began doing their tricks for the
keeper.
''Not only did the keeper watch
them, but many children who were in
the elephant house and who saw that
the elephants were about to perform,
came over and watched them. Mr..
and Mrs. Jock Elephant had many fine
tricks. Ted had learned number of

An ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send sam
pie size bottle of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi.
um and large size bottles, for sale at

No Pleasure in IdIeness.

Idleness is never source of pleas
ure. The nation puts folks on en-
forced idleness as a punishment. A
well-earned rest is boon to any busy
man, but that's far from idleness. The
idler is just a spender, a parasite, a
candidate for social ostracism and
the poorhouse. He soon loses the
power for real enjoyment. He's just
a burden to himself and the folks
around him. He's always hunting
happiness, but is too sluggish to use
the means that bring it. His is the
passive existence of Incidence, stag
nation and deafness. The very facul-
ties capable Of giving pleasure are
obsolescent. It's no use to dream
about happiness unless you are will
ing to do little to help bring it.
Like love 1t wears best when used.

them for the keeper taught them lots
of things in his elephant school and
Ted was going up to higher class
every day.
1.-THE elephant school is the school
the keeper started in which he taught
the elephants to do tricks, for it would
be Of little use to the elephants if they
were taught to do sums and to write
and read. No one can quite think Of
an elephant sitting up with pair Of
glasses before his eyes and trying to
hold a book before him with the aid
of his trunk.
Besides very few books would in
terest the elephants if they could read
except books on hay, and there aren't
many written on that subject.
$50 the elephants learn to do tricks,
and the keeper calls his time for show
ing them how to do the tricks his les
son time. You know that in circus
they have school for the different
kinds Of animals and they have les
sons every morning. If they didn't do
their lessons well they wouldn't be able
to give such fine performances.

forward to the summer when they
would take real baths instead of the

through the winter to keep their skin
from cracking.
zone of Jocks best tricks was the
way he could catch pennies which were
thrown to him. He put them in lit
tie bank in his cage and every time he
did this he rang bell which the keep
er gave him. And when he is given
peanuts he is very wise, for he takes
as many as he can get and holds them
in his trunk if he hasn't time to eat
them all.
'.1e had his toe nails cut the other
day, for when an elephant is in the
Jungle he keeps his nails in good con-
dition by going over rough ground.
They find plenty of oil in the marshes
for their skin, and they harden their
feet by rough Stones which the keeper
tries to take the place of with sand
paper.
when they drink they use their
mouths, which OF course is what all
sensible folks and animals do-in fact
I believe everyone drinks that way.

they can manage.
