Today Rhymes on
The Flying Elephant.
BY EDMUND VANCE COOK


Zone for the Children)
O, the elephant looks like a big balloon
And his tough skin will tear,
So wen blow in his trunk and pretty soon,
He'll be all filled up with air
And then, when the air is heated through
He do the funniest things;
Why perhaps he can fly, like the brides do,
ii he flops his like wings.
%! Oo
Take big breath and blowl
For IT blow up the elephants hide
Maybe he'll give us an airship ride
O, the elephant once, in the circus tent
Didn't want to perform his trick,
And the bad bad tranerman he went
And he punched him with his stick.
But when the elephant lets ride,
Why never will use a goad,
For il We should prick the elephants hide,
Why the elephant might explode.
Ool 90!
I'm sure that never would do,
For if should fall off the elephants rul
Wouldn't get terrible bunp

A similar case is that of Lady Mary
Catherine Ashburnham, who has not
yet come to any decision as to weth-
er she will continue her life at the
Convent of the Sacred Heart at Roe
hampton.
If she takes the vow, she is pre-
cluded by Lod Ashburnham's will from
inheriting his real and personal es-
tate. The will has been Professionally
sworn at under 100000. pounds, ENG
lish money!. She has four years in
which to decide, being still a novice
at the convent. Her age is %.
Another peculiar will which attrac-
ted considerable attention six years
ago was that of Robert Beard, who
left his estate to his nephew, provid-

Vision struck at the very security OF

Try to the public good.
An eccentric stakeholder OF Sloan
est, who died IN 1905 left over 2OO, OOO
pounds English money! to his only
son, who was then 8 yeas old, on very
quaint terms, several pages OF the
will being taken up with curious pro-
visions regarding the care and moral
welfare of the child.
He is not allowed to have any deal
ings with his mother, except as and
unless ordered by a judge in the court
of chancery.
Every effort is to be made by the
/, trustees to prevent the granting OF
such order, but if such grant cannot be
prevented, they are to employ doctors,
nurses detectives or tutors, as they
shall deem necessary, to guard both his
moral and material welfare.
A short time ago, William Clag-
horn died in America, possessed OF
about 10000 pounds English money!
and pretty wife. OF her he was NOR
dinately jealous.
He left her all his money, however
but stipulated that she should forfeit
200 pounds English money! of the es-
tate each time she appeared in public
unveiled, and another 200 pounds,
English money! each time she smil-
ed at a man. The will went on:
II do further order that for every
time she dances with man, goes to
any gathering for entertainment, a
musement or instruction with a man,
that the same sum shall be forfeited,
and, further, that if she do permit any
caress or fashion of endearment, l.

feited."
Lord Kew was very wealthy peer
of strict principles and peculiarly acrid
temper and having no wife nor child
rem to annoy, he ''took it out" as the
saying is, of his bothers, nephews and
other expectant kinsfolk One gem
from his collection is in some such
words as these:

ry to my expressed wish, reduce the

The Italians are playing an entire
w new game. Instead Of pushing their
claims they apparently are co-operat-
ing to the utmost in other work. They
have not shown any inclination to
abandon their claims, but they are not
pushing the subject.
Considering the fact the Italian
army is not demobilized and that the
Italians now occupy all the territory
they are claiming, the question arises
as to who would put the Italians out,
porviding they would go SO far as to
sign the peace treaties and then re-
fuse to evacuate the territories they
claim are rightfully theirs. Such a
task eventually probably would fall
10 the League of Nations, it is believ-
ed.
Through American influence it is be-
lieved an arrangement will be made
whereby the Ukranians and Poles will
cease fighting. But this is only one OF
the numerous minor wars that are be-
ing waged in Europe. Establishment
of peace between the Poles and Ukran-
ans would mean that General Haller's
army. recently transported from
France to Poland through Germany
would be available in helping keep
back the bolsheviki. This would
merely be stopping one war to assist.
in carrying on another.

Better go an wash"
Or, if dad says: Here's tip,
Listen now-don't scott,
Rub some cream onto your lip,
Calf will lick it off,"
Uncle 81 Gets Billy mad,
Yellin: "Down in 'front.'"
Saws: That's some mustache, my lad,
For a little runt."
But Cordella praises il,
Calls it cute and new.

He'll raise side-burns too.
