Elephants Raid Railway Station.


We are used to stories of how an
elephant occasionally upsets a circus
but it Is rare we hear of an orgy of
destruction like that which occurred
in the Malay peninsula a herd of
wild elephants attacked a railway
station, pulling down the station
masters kitchen and bathroom. They
did the same to the clerks quarters
and then tackled the station while the
office force looked on from trees. One
elephant took off an automatic weigh
ing machine as a souvenir Of the raid,
but finding it heavy, threw it down
on the track. One of the elephants
trumpete6 the recall and they all went
back into the jungle except one who
fell in a we'll and had to be cut out
by human aid, but was not detained
BY the time help arrived after gen
eral telegraphic alarm the huge beasts
had entirely disappeared.-Scientitic

TENANT FINDS BURIED MONEY
Of Treasure Discovered Md.
den In Jars.

Rumors of the finding Of q great
treasure IN the old Holland house here
have been confirmed by the filing Of
suit in the Fayette county circuit
court by the administrators Of the Hol-
land estate against a dozen defend
ants alleged to have shared In the d.
vision Of the treasure, which amount
ed to $4,000, says a dispatch from
Nuttallburg, W. Va, to the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. Attachments were served
on so banks In the surrounding sec
ton, where the money Is believed to
have been deposited.
The story of the treasure reads like
romance. In the sixties William Hol.
land, veteran of the Crimean war, came
to this country from England and set
tied In the Pennsylvania coal fields In
1872 he came to Kenney's creek and
began the development Of kiln. He
built home here in 1885, where he
resided until his death In 1918
He was an eccentric character, and
none Of his family knew Of his habit
Of hiding money. He died suddenly
Of heart failure. After Hollands
death the home passed into the hands
of William Nelson. superintendent Of
the coal company, who began repairs
and reconstruction. The gold was
found In different Jars at different
times.

WOULD MIX LOVE AND LOGIC
Writer'S Advice to Woman DESTROYS

ton After the Honeymoon.

Years ago a poet wrote Of love as

must have known a lot about the
feminine sex. Love anu logic are at
opposite poles of woman's world; and
1t Is a fact that many a woman has
lost a mans love through not allow
Ing a little common sense In courtship
and marriage. the mixing of love and
!egic, as 1t were.
A girl may be adorable, but II she
is forever making her lover appear
silly In the eyes Of the public, she
is in danger Of losing that mans love.
Simply because a woman finds love
and one man her whole existence,
that is no reason why a man is going
to find that true in regard to the
woman he loves. There is a difference
In the sexes in that respect. God
made 1t 10, and ne woman need try
to alter it. Lovers, married or other
