Cigar Making Is Dull

One of our cigar makers informed
us that he is now working but three
days each week. He attributes the
cause due to prices of everyday neces-
stiles being above normal. An ac-
quaintance from Hanover remarked
The cigar-making has received a
slump which will last a long time"
Some factories cut down the number
to be made each day, which amounts
to about the same as the cut in work
ing DAYS 1t is natural, when so many
men are out of work, the real necessi-
ties must come first. A merchant in
formed us that 3 cent cigars were the
lowest-priced, while some cigars sell
readily at cents even in the small

The Automobile.

Twenty years ago no one thought
that the automobile was about to find
its way into every home.
When the automobile first made its
appearance, horses ran away from it,
boys ran after it, and the wise talked
about it. A few years ago it was
common for livery men to distribute
calendars on which was a picture of
an automobile stuck in the mud, while
two horses looked on with satisfaction
saying, They will have to call for US
yet"
Just lately, a man looking out of
the window saw three large engines
doing their best. to hurry on their
freight. They were drawing one hun
dred box cars each of them loaded
with five automobiles and each car
carried streamer saying these auto
mobiles were going from New York
City to California. People are becom-
ing accustomed to paying the price
of the automobile, the price of its up
keep, the price of state and city Ii
censes and the price Of good roads.

Of course, men have styles, exclus-

Mexican will go barefoot and wear
ragged trousers if only he may poss-
ess hat which will awaken the envy
of his companions. Those who work
for 2 cents and 80 cents day have
been known to go without proper
food and to wear clothing that was
in tatters in order to save a sum suf-
ficient to buy hat adorned with
braid and tinsel Many of the hats
of the Mexican gentlemen of wealth

PITTSBURGH, Oakmont Country
Club, Aug. 15.-There was a world of
confidence in the broad smile of
Johnny Farrell, the 2~2-yearold van
quisher of Jim Barnes, former title
holder, as he prepared today for his
match with Tom Kerrigan, the silva
noy star, in the third round Of the
national professional tournament. The
eyes Of the golf world were upon him
the only upsetter of dope so far
and his hopes were bolstered by the
assertion of Gene Sarazen, open cham
pion, that "a young fellow is going to
win this tournament" Sarazen, in
answer to a question, expressed belief
that either Farrell or Emil Loeffler
would finish VIGOROUSLY.
Sixteen survivors of two match play
rounds yesterday started the forenoon
half of their Sc hole matches today for
the championship, and incidentally,
for the purse of $1,000 which goes to
the winner, prominent professionals
some still and some already out of the
running-seemingly agree that a dark
horse has more than an even chance
to carry off top honors. No one dis
puted their statements made after
play yesterday, that the Oakmont
course is one of the most difficult on
this side of the Atlantic.

BIG INDIAN ELEPHANT
CURED OF SULKINESS
BY SEVERE SCOLDING
~ Associated Prcss1

MSS
LONDON. Aug. 15-A big female
Indian elephant that went on strike
at the Zoo last spring and refused to
do what all big elephants at the Zoo
are required to do-earn money by
carrying children around on her back
has been cured of the sulks and lazi-
ness by the seeming magic treatment
of an Indian mahout.
She was presented to the Zoo by
the Maharajah of Cooch Behar two
years ago.. She had been well trained
and acted at all times like a sensi-
BILE, well-behaved elephant and obeyed
orders properly. She developed no
vices beyond that of picking pockets
for edible dainties. But every ele-
plant that has any sense at all learns
TO do that in the Zoo.
Then she took it into her big head
that she would not submit TO being
bossed any longer. She declined to
stand between the new riding steps
that had been fixed I'd for the conve-
njence of juvenile elephant riders.
When the old wooden steps were sub
stituted for the new ones she proved
equally obdurate. In the end she de-
clined to leave the elephant yard at
all.
Obtain Mahout
AS the elephant is a fine animal
and quite good tempered, it was de-
cided to obtain a mahout from India.
He was cabled for, and arrived in due
course. He was taken to the elephant
house. He at once entered the en-
closure and formally saluted the AMI
ma, standing first at her head and
then at her tail. Next he took off
his shoes, and knotted a rope loosely
round the elephants neck. which he
afterward used as a kind of stirrup.
With little difficulty he persuaded
her to kneel and mounted her neck.
IN less than two minutes, soothing.
patting, and talking volubly to her in
Hindustani, he had got on good terms
with the animal. Then he took her
round to the elephant ride, and appar-
emily had her in complete control.
ScoIds Elephant
Phrases of his admonitions, freely
translated, were as follows: 'I am
told that you eat your food, and will
not work: it is wrong; Allah enjoins
on us all that we must work if we
"oulu cat lOu are cnedIlnS your
masters, and it is unworthy of you.
l am only a black man. and you musJ
not mind me. Put fear u of your
mind; take II up from your heart, and
throw it out"
The elephant certainly seemed to
understand, and now obeys every or
der. The mahout was given quarters
in another part of the gardens, but
he obtained leave to sleep in the ell
ephant house, as he says that he
wishes to talk to the elephant during
the night. He has not yet tried to
saddle her, as he wants to take things
slowly, but he is confident he will
conquer all her fears and make her
permanently obedient.

day in police court.

storage for the piano for several
months, after it had been given to
him by Edward GJay, the complaining
witness. He said he would have been
glad to get rid of the piano. The in
strument. according to the former own

BALL PLAYING BARRED
FROM CITY PARKS

Small boys who have a tendency to
play ball in any of the city parks
will be placed under arrest if they
make a practice of the habit, accord
ing to a ruling at police headquarters.
The city ordinances prohibit playing
ball at any place except that set aside
for such purpose.
One such space has been set aside.
1t is at Glen Miller park. None of
the other city parks are available for
such a purpose, according to Chief
Eversman.
The new policy on the part of the
police arises from complaints received
by headquarters that pedestrians had
been struck by the balls during the
play of boys at various parks.
