be done until an idea could be gotten
of how long a period the Presidents S
recovery would take.
VIII Await Developments
The general disposition in the SEN
ate, it was said. was to await devel-
opments. 1t was explained that none
OF the Senators was positive on the
subject OF the Presidents illness be-
cause he has seen only the immedia
members OF his family-Mrs. Wilson
and the three girls. He was not per-
mitted to see his son- in law. former
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
when the latter called at the White
House last week.
Moreover. 1t was pointed out. no
legislation Of an emergency nature is
before Congress at this time, and
there is no great necessity Of action
by the President on the ordinary bills.
These will become laws in ten days
even though they do not bear his sig
nature.
The danger. however, providing sill
ence Is maintained by the White
House. is that someone in the Senate
may introduce a resolution calling for
the appointment Of committee of in
qufry. Such action-in the face OF the
general ignorance of the Presidents
illness and its progress-might bring
matters to head and compel the
Senate to act.
Diseased In senate.
One or two sharp remarks al
ready have been passed on the floor
OF the Senate about the Presidents
illness. but they are little IL moth
ing to what has transpired in the
cloak rooms. The Presidents sig
nature. for instance, was closely scru-
tinized last week On an official doc
ument that came from the White
House, and doubt was expressed as
to whether it was original.
II the situation continues to gath
er the momentum in evidence. es-
pecially since the publication Of the
Moses letter this morning, II is be-
lieved certain that q comprehensive
statement will have to be forthcom-
ing from the White House.
There was some talk today in ad-
ministration circles that with the
return this week of DR.. Francis X.
Dercum, of Philadelphia, neurolo-
gist, the three other physicians at
tending the President might prepare
a complete diagnosis of the Presi-
dents illness, supplementing this
with Information as to when they
expect he will be able to resume his
duties, and that the statement would
be made public.

Puss and the miller were once more

they were out Of sight of the farm
house they came across the farm

Now,-he was not a good boy at
all, and while the farmer was get
ting down the saddle he told Puss
about his troubles. Now, his boy
was lazy and wouldn't work and
went with bad boys. all of which
made him very sad, indeed. So %
soon as Puss Junior saw the lad he
stopped his horse and said:

from that day he would be . better

his friend, the miller. on the good

and by and by they came to q small

good gray horse was tired and
thirsty, and Puss and his friend

the miller asked the innkeeper 70

River Dee.
And when the meal was ended the
innkeeper brought out q good horse
and the miller mounted him and

Water In the Desert.

The National Geographic Magazine
gives some interesting accounts Of the
driving of cattle to the nearest port
or railway, from the vast pasture
lands Of Australia.
Two, three or even Eve months may
be required, says this magazine. I'm
less the season is favorable, it can
not be done at all, for feed and water
are lacking along the route. &.
Stock routes are laid out and tended as
carefully as wagon roads or railways.
They head for the principal markets,
or for the ends of railways that eX-
tend into the arid belt, and wind
across the country, taking advantage
Of ell known water supplies. Streams,
springs. billabOngs and namma-holes
are used, regardless Of tho quality
Of the water, for almost any liquid
is acceptable in the desert. When
the distance between watering places
is too great, or areas OF feed are be-
yOnd the reach Of water, artificial
supplies are provided and carefully
watched. Wells are dug, and reser-
vOirs and tanks are constructed to
collect rain water. Where other means
fail, skeleton buildings with large
roof area are provided to conserve
the rainfall.

SLAMS ROYAL ELEPHANT HUNT
Kings Order for Roundup Is Signal
for Outpouring of Natives to
See Big Show.

When a king of Siam finds that the
stock Of tame elephants in the gov
eminent stables is getting low, he
sends out an edict that royal ele-
phant> hunt will take place. This or
Ter is received jOyfully throughout
Siam, for a royal elephant hunt is
enough Of spectacle to induce peo-
pie from all over Siam to come to
Ayutha, where the animals are to be
brought when captured.
Days, sometimes weeks, are required
to locate and surround the herds to
be captured. Then they are skillfully
driven in the direction of Ayutha. So
slowly do the great beasts travel that
four or five miles is sometimes the
daily rate Of advance. When Ayutha
Is reached the herd is driven into o
corral, which is large walled-in court,
and here it is kept until the desirable
beasts are selected. The rest are then
home.
The tanning of the animals retained
takes several days and is the climax
to the spectacle. Crowds gather to
hear the untamed elephants trumpet
their anger at being caught and to
watch their clumsy struggle against
mastery by the native trainers.-De
troit News.

adults were left alive, and small vii
lagos of twenty igloos or so with all
inhabitants frozen stiff. In one case
one little girl and baby were found
alive in village. This child had kept
herself from freezing to death by re-
naming wrapped up in bed with the
baby beside her. The condensed milk
which sustained her life she also took
to bed with her. There had been no
fire in the villages for days and the
temperature was 80 degrees below
