ELEPHANTS, LOCAL I. W. W.

From Long Chances in the Animal Deal
 CTS Game, by Charles Mayer, in Asia
 Magazine for February.
 In Burma there are large lumber mills, and elephants are used for roll ing the logs into position for the saws. Pushing with their heads, they run the logs up two inclined skids to the plat form. Two elephants do the pushing and a third elephant acts as boss. The
 boss need not be an especially intelii- gent animal; he is simply taught that
 the log must go up the skids in cer-
 tain way and that the two pushers must
 be kept even. In his trunk he carries
 few links of anchor chain, which he uses as whip. If one elephant falls behind, the boss gives him rap with the chain. When the log is on the platform, the pushers turn and plod back for another. by his authority, and the others show no resentment when he swings the chain on them.
 When the whistle blows, the elephants know that it is time to stop work and eat. It makes no difference if they have log within fraction of an inch of the platform the boss drops his am chor chain and gets out of the way, and the pushers step to one side, letting the log crash down again. Then, without the least expression of interest, they
 turn for the stalls. Because they obey signals so mechanically, the engineer steps out, when feeding time comes, and looks up and down the runway to see if an elephant crew has a log on the skids. If so, he waits until it reaches
 the platform before he pulls the whis- | tie cord

 Mir. Blanton-My sense of humor since l got here has been absolutely swallowed up by the inexhaustible SUD- ply of humor held by the inguished gentleman from Massachusetts.

 MT. Clark of Florida-Mr. Chairman, I simply want to say one word. MT. Chairman, I know whatever may be my faults-and they are many--I have never demagogued on this floor. When the salaries of members were raised from $5,000 to $7,500, I voted for 1t, and I made a speech for 1t, and think what Congress is suffering from today is it's cowardice, if may use that word. (Applause.) The salary of e member of Congress ought to be $10,- 900 or $15,o00 a year. (Applause.) think am s1o,ooo. (Applause.)

DIDN'T CHANGE HIS HABITS

From the Detroit News.
 When James B. Duke, tobacco king. was earning s50,000 a year and rapidly industry, he lived in a hall bedroom in cheap rooming house and ate his three meals day from the counter of dreary little Bowery restaurant. When questioned, as to why he did this, he declared it was in part so that he could save every dollar possible to put it back into the business and partly be- cause the grinding poverty of his youth had not been forgotten.
 When he was boy his father, having lost everything as a result of the Civil war; was forced to take a job as farm hand on farm 30 miles from Durham, N. c. James and his three small
 brothers lived with their father in a shanty that permitted storm and cold to enter from all sides, and the four had to sleep on a single husk tick in one corner of the place for the sake of warmth. Their food often consisted of llLlib fuOTe tIdn OL PaiShSNa corn. It was years after the war that the first ray of sunshine came. Some
 of the farmers that owed young Dukes father money from before the war be- gan to pay him in tobacco. This was the start of the company that became | in time one of the greatest corporations the world has ever known.

vnLAGrs OF WAR WIDOWS

Theodore Berkes in the Berliner Tage-
 blatt.
 On market days at Cattaro (Dalma- tian seaport) several hundred black garbed, bare-footed Montenegrin wom- en descend from their mountain homes to the harbor. They are accompanied by little donkeys laden with the scanty products of their sterile farms, or carry their burdens on their heads. Occasion ally their load is merely bundle of fagots. which they hope to sell for few pennies in ready money.
 This procession of Montenegrin wom- en is symbolical of the poverty which characterizes the land of precipices and canyons behind this coast. Their black garments resemble flag of mourning hung out by Montenegro. They visual ize what the Balkan wars and the World war meant to that country. which sent whole battalions forth to slaughter from single mountain village.
 There are such villages or groups of villages where every adult woman is a widow. It is procession of widows which descends each week from Monte negro to Cattaro.

Business Piker as
 Fly in the Ointment

1T T is the piker in business who is u cause of the greater part of the scandals that emanate from mems transactions with one another and lead only too often to wholesale de- nunciation of an entire set of busi- ness men not at all warranted by the manner in which the bulk of business has been done.
 The larger the operator of busi- ness the slower he is to advance prices, the more conservative his business methods. He has gotten large by realizing that large profits cannot be obtained at all times, that losses must be taken at intervals and that sub- stantial and permanent success arrived at only by stabilizing trade conditions so far as possible.
 After exhaustive investigation of the coal business the Calder commit tee finds that 78,O00,OOO tons, or 7S per cent, of the bituminous coal mined in America during the first six months of the year averaged g price at mines of less than $4 pel ton; that per cent was sold at al average of $5.41, 2 per cent at $6.44 and per cent at over $7. The small fair weather mines that operate only when the coal market is running higl and quit as soon as it runs low die that which has caused a lot of pub lie opinion to wrongfully strike al the industry in general.
 There was a time when the countr,
 was afraid of the big man in busi
 ness. We are rapidly forming tn, conclusion that the piker is the req
 fly in the ointment, and we are ol the right track in doing so.

 For the past three months we have been unable to secure teachers and the children of the juvenile court have been forced to do without. Teachers for this parental school must have state licenses just as any teacher in the county or city schools, and we are most anxious to have the school com tinued.

WOMEN or A MYSTERY


 May stranathan, in the Pittsburg Dis-
 patch.
 After declaring to the reporters who met him in New York that the women of today care for nothing but having a good time and have assumed an atti- tude of pagan enjoyment, the English essayist, Gilbert K. Chesterton, is re- ported as moving majesticaily along the pier shaking hands with the cus- tom officers and leaving Mrs. Chester ton to see about the baggage. My wife understands these things; I don't" he said. with | sweep of his stick.
 It is evident from the report that al- though woman may have changed much since before the war. as MT. Chesterton says, some of the oid-time masculine attitude toward them remains. In further proof of this, the noted Eng lishman goes on to speak nthe same old pre-war way about the psychology of women, using the familiar words: T speak reverently as of mystery. for 6 man never knows what woman will do," and then he tells how she will act under certain circumstances. I The mystery about it Is not in the psychology of woman. but in the fact that. having supposed that woman would act in the way most natural to all humanity. he thinks 1t Is mysterious because q woman does it. He describes a man as likely to act the same under
 similar circumstances, but does not see any mystery in the masculine point of vihW

LUKE M,LuKE SAYS

A wise man won't fool around with either dynamite or married women.
 Our idea of nervy guy is man who will stand in front of a display window filled with the pink and white that are worn by the female sex, and stare at them for 10 minutes.
 But when 1t comes to modern im- provements, the city girl hasn't thing on the country girl.
 Of course, they wouldn't think of wearing them. But I'll bet nice warm petticoat would feel pretty good these cold mornings.
 The size of mans bank roll seems to worry a woman more than the size of his head
 When a woman wants a hat shell examine 621 hats before she is satis- fled. But when she wants husband she takes the first thing that comes along.
 No man was ever so homely that his wife didn't imagine that other women had designs on him.
 You may imagine that you are g good guesser. But tho champeen guesser is usually a prescription clerk in drug store.
 When a fellow is engaged to girl he doesn't know ir until after she las informed all of her girl friends of the fact.

"So many of the women who are pay ing their poll tax at the two booths now being run by women at Lcveman, Joseph & Loeb's and Drennen's depart ment stores are under the impression that they must bring their registration certificates" said Mrs. w. D. Nesbitt. 'The people who believe this are laoor- ing under a mistaken idea.

Success of a Live
 and Let Live Policy

THHE remarkable success of the u Steel Corporation has demon- strated the sound sense of realizing the man at the other end of the con- tract. All human relations are con- tractual, there being a mutual obli- gation to live and let live. These con- tracts have served Or failed to serve according to this realization.
 The Steel Corporation is now op- erating at 90 per cent capacity. It has accumulated $450,000 surplus after deducting dividends in the past six years. Its last years earnings on common stock were SIT per share, and prospects for this year are just as good. This record is not due to exacting the last penny in price that the buyer could stand, nor has it been earned on the last ounce of labor that could be wrested from the worker at lowest cost. The corporation has main tained poise between extremes such as the world of industry had never before seen. The lesson. has been of greatest value to other corporate en- terprises.
 What the corporation has done in Birmingham has been done elsewhere. Its record is that of building where building is warranted, of expanding where expansion is justified, of pay ing workmen wages that price of product and costs of manufacture justify, of surrounding labor with safeguards and wholesome living con ditions breeding labor's self-respeci and avoiding the clash of useless anc wasteful strife, of stabilizing the stee1 and iron markets so as to prevent disastrous fluctuations, either up ol down.
 The present 90 per cent operating capacity of the Steel Corporation is automatically the outcome of a liv' and let live policy. It has been prover the best.
