did this he rang bell which the keep

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.

'Mr. Jock Elephant was a very

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
q boy elephant named Ted and the
other girl elephant, only two months
old, named Title.
Now 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.
Mr.. Jock Elephant remembered that
Mrs. Jock behaved the same way for
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 We're 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 a fine

they like above everything else and to
show how much they appreciated it.
they began doing their tricks for the
keeper.

The editor of the Congrepationalist
is probably right in saying that the
chief gain from the holding of union
services the past winter was not in coal
saving, but in the better understanding
that was effected between the Christian
bodies, and the growing desire to avoid
competition and to view any particular
field of work from a cooperative rather
than n UNCONVENTIONAL point of view

1t is very probable that the reports
of a break between Cuba and Mexico
have very real foundation Presum-
ably they open the way for trouble with
this country Here is another case
where watchful waiting has done No
good. We went in and out again and
left hostility. That S about all it came
to. 1t is commonly recognized that
Mexico is the agreeable retreat of hos
tile German and other refugees from tie
United States, and the correspondence
has been published that showed the eff
fort of Germany to develop quarrel
between us and Mexico and the kind
offer to give that country the most Of
our Mississippi Valley. 1t is quietly
understood in informed circles that con
diions in Mexico are far worse than
the public eomprehends. Rumors come
along that there is serious rebellion
there and a lot of fighting that does
not get into print. Meanwhile there is
the rich and invaluable oil country
around Tampieo. 1t is almost indispen-
sable to us and to our European allies.
The wonder is that, in view of the mer-
curial temperament of the Mexicans, we
do not land troops for protection of the
wells instead of waiting until they
have been damaged or destroyed.
