LINCOLN'S ELEPHANTS

Few persons, perhaps know that AbEa-
ham Lincoln at one time virtually had herd
of twelve elephants on his hands. He did
not exactly have them in his possession, but
they were offered to him, and it took all the
tact for which he was famous to gracefully
decline them.
The letter in which he turned down the
proffered gift has only recently come to light,
according to writer in the Pathfinder, who
relates that the elephants were presented to
President Lincoln for the United States gov
eminent by the King of Siam, as token of
friendship. Lincoln's letter to the king was
written on February 8, 1862, and contained
this paragraph:
'"This government would not hesitate to
avail itself of so generous an offer if the OBJ
ject were one which could be made practically
useful in the present condition of the United
States. Our political jurisdiction, however,
does not reach latitude so low as to favor
the multiplication of the elephants"
Lincolns reference to his lack of juris-
diction over warm ATTITUDES is given point by
the fact that the South was not then under
Federal control, and illustrates the subtitle
humor which often characterized his utter
anceS.

ing the time that we have been killing we have been
confronting ourselves with the thought that there
were plenty of fish.
OF course there were plenty of fish at the head
waters of the Mississippi few years ago. 1t was
a virgin fishing ground. For thousands OF years
nature had been making pike grow in the Winni-
goshish waters When the roads were first extend
ed into this section we had the fish which almost
countless generations had produced-And how we
did catch them. Cars by the hundreds. Fish
ermen came by the thousands. Pike were caught
by the sack full They were taken away without any
reference to need of craftsmanship
It will not be long before they will be gone not
completely So but practically The beautiful lakes
on the upper Mississippi may at some future time
be Just as shless those further to the south where
man has taken without reason. This will soon be
the land or rather the water, of the snake pickerel
and the sucker
But there will be need for such a condition.
Eliminate shortsightednes sand selfishness and the
game and fish will multiply

Amber has been mined for hum

Pieces of amber are torn from the

They are collected at ebb tide by

FARM CLUB WORK

No movement having for it's object the
betterment of rural life is worthy of more
encouragement and support than that of
forming and maintaining boys and girls
clubs. 1t is gratifying to observe that the
movement is spreading rapidly, and that
nearly million young people on the farms
of the country are enrolled in clubs.
In recent review by the Department of
Agriculture it was shown that civic bodies,
fair committees, bankers and individual bust
ness men in many states are taking notice
of the club movement and are fostering it
through the offering of prizes, scholarships,
trips and other rewards for efficiency shown
by farm boys and girls in carrying out the
various projects included in the club pro-
gram.
Club activities not only serve to prepare
young people for their life work, if they
choose to stay on the farm, but the conduct
ing of their own meetings develops qualities
of leadership and confidence in themselves.
Even those who enter other pursuits are bet
ter fitted for their future careers by the dis
ciplne and training which are inseparable
from club membership.
Every rural community should cooperate
with home demonstration agents and. other
extension workers in promoting boys and
girls clubs. 1t is splendid enterprise, which
will have most beneficial effect upon farm
life in the future.

SHAKESPEARES WORDS

Prof. Hanley, of the University of Wisconsin said
a necessary thing the other day when he told the
Modern Language association that our vocabuaries
should be smaller, not larger.
He pointed out that the average American knows
10000 words, and uses only small part of them.
Shakespeare knew but $4,000 but he achieved more
freshness and variety and expressivenes than any
one today.
Of course, part of this distinction is in the de-
fnition of vocabulary 1t might be said that words
do not hardly part of vocabulary.
But it is more important to know, as Shakespeare
knew, a few words intimately and to use them pre-
cisely than to pretend to learning don not have
and that would be useless if we did.

FALSE IDEAS STICK

After an erroneous statement has been
repeated often enough it is next to impossi-
BILE to eradicate it from the popular mind
For many years the question was asked
why the addition of fish to pail of water
would not add to the weight of the bucket
and its contents. Several ingenious explana-
lions were offered, but the real reason could
not be agreed upon. Finally some inquisitive
skeptic weighed bucket of water and after
adding 5-pound fish weighed it again. It
weighed just five pounds more than it did
before adding the fish. The question, there
fore, was shown to be based upon false as
sumption.
similar situation is pointed out by the
Christian Science Monitor in answer to the
question of why the younger generation is
so much inclined to crime Thirteen cities re-
porting to the United States Children's Bur-
eau showed that in nine of them juvenile de-
linquency decreased, while an increase was
noted in only four.
Likewise, it is popularity supposed that
crime in Chicago is more prevalent than ever
before. Yet actual statistics show that
crime since 1915 in, that city has not in
creased in proportion to the increase in pop
ulation.
So, as Josh Billings once said, 'it's just
as well not to know so much, as to know so
blamed much that amt So"

The principles Of chess are based
on the struggle Of everyday life.
1t Is a battle between two armies

perches on the more proficient Of

technical sense, the capture Of

fact seems to escape the recogni-
ton Of many players, who direct
their entire energies to the cap
ture Of pieces or pawns, when con-
sistent play would indicate an easy
road to victory through the medium
Of q checkmate. The temptation
to proceed with the attack before

great one, but such premature at
tacks are usually abortive and fire.

Blowing Hot and Cold

Doctor Slosson says that heat is
measured as time Is measured, only
by it's loss. When you blow through
nearly closed lips the breath is ex-
PEELED so rapidly that passing over
the hand it cools 1t by evaporating
the perspiration from the skin,
whereas when you breathe upon It
more gently from the open mouth
the hand is surrounded by the warm
air, and hence feels hot. If a Their
mometer were used instead Of the
hand, you would find that the eff
feet in the two cases is the same,
or often the reverse, because the
thermometer has no moist skin, and
registers the actual temperature in
stead Of merely changes Of temper
allure.
