Men close to the minds of elephants
who sway back and forth hour after
hour while their restless trunks roam
around the hay believe that they ap-
preciate children, and the difference
between children and their elders,

Put Romance Before Truth

Inaccuracies in history and anec-
dotes with no foundation of fact may
be blamed on some of the older his
torians. The men who first wrote of
Colonial and Revolutionary times often
tried to make their accounts romantic
and picturesque by revising history to
suit themselves, because they did not
see that the real facts were more ro-
mantle than their embellishments could
make them. Our histories. paintings,
poetry and traditions are still intlu.

DANGEROUS Alarm Clock.

To prevent oversleeping, and thus
risking the loss of their employment,
the mail carriers of Morocco resort to
a unique and perilOus scheme. They
tie string to one foot, and, as they

What he says he believed to be a
.fraud-proof' Will has been made and
filed In the Office Of the clerk Of Polk

Des Moines lawyer. Mr.. Mantz dc
tated his will Into a talking machine,
and had 1t recorded In wax.
At the end Of the d~ictation, &. IL.
Miller, a lawyer, and II. W. Brandt, a
court reporter. testified into the ma
chine they were witnesses to the
making Of the will, and spelled their
names out In full as the witnesses.
The record then was put on a ma
chine and reproduced the voices. Be-
ing pronounced correct by Mr.. Mantz,
he took 1t to the clerks office. had the
box containing Ii sealed In wax n
filed.
Mr. Mantz has instructed Mrs. Mantz
to take the case to the highest court
of the country If the validity of the

The will ON n record is believed by

objection TO wills on talking machine

SAYS he will 90 before the next session

will see greater uses Of talking ma
chimes and records, and In his opinion
II would be much more difficult to
'tamper with a spoken Will than a

The former German emperor, VIII
