Elephant .Graveyards.

Most of the ivory we use is obtained
by digging, and not by shooting.
Elephants have their own code of
customs. One Of these Is that no mem
ber of the herd must die amongst his
fellows. When an old elephant feels
that his course Is run, he separates
himself from the herd and makes for
it's graveyard-for each herd has a
burial ground of it's own.
This is always a sHampy tract of
land overgrOwn with trees and rank
vegetation. Here he dies, and his great
body buries itself by Its own huge
weight in the soft soil.
Many of these elephant graveyards
are known to the African natives, who
make journeys to them each year for
the purpose of digging out the ivory
tusks. Few white men have ever seen
one, for the natives keep their where
abouts close secret, knowing that an
elephant graveyard is as valuable as
gold mine.

THE RESULT OF A JOKE

Two girls were working in a shop
several years ago. The question of
saving money came up. but these
girls said they could not spare any
thing from their small earnings.
But just as a joke one of the girls
said: Il dare you to start a savings
account and see who can save the
most" So they started. A few years
later one of these girls quit working
to get married. She was surprised
to find 5000 in the bank to her
credit - a very welcome sum at such
a time.
The other girl is still working and
she continues her visits to the bank
each week. Her %account is well
above $4,000 now and it is growing
fast. Her interest money each year
Is more than her first years savings
amounted to.
Perhaps this story will suggest a
plan that will work as well for you.
