iiumorous ?rpartment. Kicked By the Elephant. "Among Lincoln's circus stories," said a Cincinnati veteran, "was one i about a Delaware tough. "A circus, Lincoln's story ran, visited Newcastle, and the town tough turned out the afternoon of its arrival i to see what sort of a circus it was. "A canvasman, making his usual i round, shouted 'off the guyropes, there! Off the guyropes!' came suddenly on the town tough, who was leaning against the canvas tent wall in the sun, smoking a corncob. " 'Ye wuzn't talkin' to me, wux ye, stranger?' said the tough, hunching up his shoulders very wickedly. " 'Oh, no, sir,' said the canvasman, frightened by the tough's size. '1 only just wanted to warn you, sir, that it's - iu*1a loon airflinat thp CL III Lie; uauguvuu vv iv?w? wu I. W tent that way, as the elephant might kick you, sir.' The tough snorted with contempt "'Drat yer elephant!' he growled, Til clean out the hull show, elephant an' all, If ye give me any of yer Hp.' 'The canvas man slunk off humbly, and a few minutes later went inside and told the boss. The boss, who weighed over 200 and stood 6 feet 6 In his socks, chuckled and took up one of the enormous mallets used to drive in tent pegs. " "Show me where he's leaning," was all he said. "The canvasman led the boss to the place where the tough's form made a long, oval dent in the tent. The boss chuckling again, fixed his eye on that spot, just below the tough's coat-tails, where the dent was deepest, and swinging the mallet twice around his head he struck with all his might "There was a dull thud, a cry of pain and fear, and the tough leaped ten feet, then made off down the road a* fast as he could rhn. 44 'What's the matter, Peleg?* the inhabitants shouted as he tore through the town. 44 'Been kicked by the elephant,' he replied."?Detroit Free Press. Good Marksmanship.?Bill Jones was an eccentric character, a local justice of the peace in a South Carolina town. He was exceedingly tall?so attenuated, in fact, that but for his hat he would not have cast a shadow. One night a number of fellow bonvlvants joined him in a symposium, and many mint juleps were consumed. One of the party unsteadily produced a revolver. it was accidentally cuscnargeu twu a bullet struck BUI Jones In the leg. Conscience stricken and wabbly with excitement and Juleps, the owner of the weapon hastened to the home of the nearest doctor and pulled at the doorbell. At length the physician, who had himself been spending a riotous evening. stuck his head from the second story window. "Whazza mazzer?" he demanded thickly. i "I jush shot Bill Jones in the leg," replied the man below. "Shct Bill Jones in the leg?" repeated the doctor, wonderingly. "Ash wha* I shaid," returned the offender. "Sho's Bill Jones in the leg." The doctor gazed down upon him admiringly. "Well," he said, "that wash a hell of a good shot." And he closed the window and went back to bed.?Cleveland Leader. The Learned German Boy.?During the civil war George Denker, a German boy about 16 years old, who had en- ' listed as a volunteer from Pennsylvania, was slightly wounded in a battle and taken to a hospital. 1 "Dumpy," as he was called, always i wore one of those old-fashioned German hats, which caused lots of fun for 1 his comrades. Major McDowell, his commander, happy over the victory of the day, and ] ever ready to have fun with the German boy, who could not speak English very plainly, said to him as he saw him sitting near a stove in the hospital with his arm in a sling. 1 "Dumpy, remove that helmet." "Das hell mitt? Das hellmit vat?" said the German boy. rather embarrassed. "The helmet, that hat," said the ma- I Jor. "De hell mlt your hat," said the German boy, getting angry. This made everybody laugh, even the wounded, 1 who had listened to the conversation. ?National Monthly. Not Caught Up.?A man who was traveling the Ozark mountains on horseback stopped before a typical Arkansas farmhouse to inquire the way. "What's the news?" asked the mountaineer, as he leaned his lank frame against the fence and pulled his ' long beard throughtfully. On finding that what had become a ; part of history was news to him the traveler asked why he did not take some weekly or monthly periodical that he might keep in touch with the world at large. "Wall," said the old native, "when my pa died, nine years ago, he left me a stack of newspapers that high"?indicating a height of about three feet ?"and I ain't done readin' of 'em ' yet."?Brooklyn Life. She Didn't Care.?Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, at a luncheon in New York, said with good-humored mockery of the , suffragettes: "If they keep on their outlook really . will become as naively selfish as Mrs. Dash's. "Mr. Dash?as his young wife posed before the mirror in a decollette gown ' from the dearest shop in the Rue de la 1 Palx?Mr. Dash, regarding the pretty little lady indulgently, said, with a sigh: ! " 'You do look nice in that frock, dear, but it cost me a heap of money.' "She flung her arms about hl3 ] neck. ( " 'You dear old boy,' she cried, 'what do I care for money when it's a question of pleasing you?'"?Washington j Star. 1 1 i It Made Him Angry.?When a mer- , chant in the hill district who had been standing in front of his store saw two I young men stop the other day and be- | gin looking over his wares he naturally was pleased and immediately gave them attention.

It is well that the people of this country should realize what a burden their government Is coming to be. We know what vast sums have been spent and are being spent for army and navy and pensions, but we do not always realize how great has been the increase in the ordinary expenditures. It was pointed out during the last campaign that almost 100,000 names had been added to the nation's pay roll during the administration of Pres" * * ** (nimlvoil on In ? iaem xvooBfvcu. iuio iiitvlw v. crease of salaries of $70,000,000. The Increase In employees was at the rate of 14,000 a year, and In salaries of $10,000,000 a year. In the last full year of Mr. Roosevelt this rate of Increase was exceeded, the number of new employees being: 22,000. And the figures are still climbing. We now have 370,000 public servants, as against 328,000 last year. These figures should give us pause. We are now paying more than $400,000,000 in salaries alone. Each man, woman and child is being taxed $4.50 each year for the ordinary expenses of the government, a sum which used to be almost enough to meet all expenses, ordinary and extraordinary. No one doubts that the government could, If it were organized and conducted on business principles?as It probably never will be?be carried on for one-half the amount now used to maintain It. But even if we cannot get a business basis we ought to be able to make some retrenchment In our pay roll. Tlje land is filled with special agents, secret ser vice men, Inspectors and inspectors or inspectors. Special counsel have been hired to do work which other men were paid for doing and should have done. Assistant attorneys have multiplied beyond all reason. And the result is now before us. Nor have Ve reached the end. It is not surprising that the president should have a good deal to say about economy. It is an old-fashioned and almost forgotten virtue. In these days of high prices and mounting taxes, it is well that we should give some attention to saving money. All this money comes out of the people, much of it from those who cannot shift the burden of taxation?that is, the poorer people, the much-talked-of ultimate consumers.?Indianapolis News. NEPTUNE CONQUERED. Lusitania's Wave Would Have Crushed Smaller Ship. Was it a last despairing protest of Old Ocean when he lifted his giant hand in the blackness of the night of January 10, and smote the Lusltania a blow which racked and splintered her lofty bridge and pilot house, 75 feet above the sea, and crushed down her forecastle deck and decks beneath, giving them a permanent depression of several inches? For time was, and not so very long ago. when the sea was the undisputed master of the ship, and whenever Neptune saw fit to open the vials of his wrath and send his leaguelong rollers across the deep, the proudest ship of the day must needs stop at his bidding, if she did not Indeed turn and run before the fury of the blast Of late years, man, by virtue of his knowledge and mechanical skill, has been building in ever-increasing lengths and breadths, and with such ceaseless enlargements of bunker and boiler-room; he has so multiplied horse-power, and has called to his aid so many Ingenious contrivances for speed and strength and safety, that old Neptune must for many a decade past have foreseen the humiliating day when he could no longer hold the destinies of the bold sea voyager in his hand, and no longer say to him, "Thus far and thus slowly shalt thou go." PrtllAiitlnflp *V\a Klnt A# V*iiUlmof A t'vnvn 1115 111c tiiiu wi liic victory which was supplied by the Lusitania and Campania, came that wonderful ship of the Hamburg-American line, the Deutschland, and the even larger and more powerful Kaiser Wilhelm and Cecilie of the North German Lloyd: and with the advent of each giant vessel man's growing mastery of the ocean was shown in ever-increasing speed and a closer approximation in times of departure and arrival to the regularity of transportation on land. It was reserved for the steam turbine to supply the last mechanical device which was to give to man in his agelong struggle with the elements a weapon of complete victory; for in the combination of size and strength and power afforded by the latest turbine liners there has been developed a ship which has demonstrated its ability to drive at full speed and aJl day long into the heaviest seas that the stormy North Atlantic could pile across her path. The writer will not soon forget a notable day, some two winters ago, when the Lusitania, in weather which varied from a gale to a full hurricane, averaged for the twenty-four hours a speed of between twenty-six and twentyseven land miles an hour. During the tumult of that tremendous struggle, ten-ton anchors were shifted, it is true, and steel derrick booms were swung athwartship and twisted as if they were no stouter than a boy's tin whistle. Yet the ship steamed into port practically intact, and with not a rivet started in the whole fabric of her hull. Ordinarily a transatlantic liner will drive her way against a westerly gale, voyage after voyage, with no more serious hurt than the bending of a r.*? * 1 niaiiuiiiou ui lilt* ui reliving ui a, juuir wi glass in the pilot house. But, once in a long while, there may come a combination of seas which are so related to the length of the ship, that she may be riding down one wave, with her bow buried deep, and her forecastle deck awash, Just as her stem drives into a roller, steep of front and of vast height. Then it is that the structure of the ship meets its moment of supreme trial; and not even the officers, 75 feet above water, are safe from the full impact of a solid Atlantic sea. On the Monday night in question, because of the tempestuous weather, the glass windows in the pilot house had been lowered and the storm windows, built of solid wood, with a small heavy glass port light in the centre, had been raised. The stern of the vessel was lifting high on a receding sea, and the forecastle deck was awash, just at the moment that a wave of gigantic proportions loomed up at the bow. From the fact that the solid water swept entirely over the pilot house and the compass stand upon its roof, which latter is at least 80 feet above normal waterline, this wave must have been some 35 feet high measured from the trough. The sea was breaking, and therefore the mast of water must have had considerable forward momentum. The ship itself was running at half speed, and met the sea at a speed of from 12 to 13 knots. When the mass struck the breastworks and pilot house, every one of the stout wooden storm Windows was burst in, the woodwork being stripped clean to the sashes, and the stout steel framing between the windows was forced several inches into the pilot house. The sea swept onward, driving a piece of the woodwork bodily through a hardwood casing containing a portion of the flre-flghting apparatus. The quartermaster was borne back against the bulkhead behind, carrying In his hands the wheel, which was torn from its standard. The mass of water then swept into the officers' wardroom and staterooms, filling them breast high with water?and this, be it remembered, at an elevation of ib reel aoove me normal aea ievei. Now, since the ship Is some 80 feet broad at this point, and the distance from the pilot house to the stem must be at least 150 feet, and since, In order to roll over the pilot house, the waves must have ben some 35 feet in height, at least 4,000 tons of water must have swept over the forecastle deck?as any one with a pencil and pad may easily figure out for himself. It cannot be possible that the wave fell with much vertical Impact, or the decks would have crumpled up like an egg-shell; but the momentum was sufficient to crush th6 forecastle deck and the three decks below a few Inches down Into the body of the ship, leaving them with a permanent set. Dramatic evidence of the enormous stresses to which the ship was subjected Is afforded by the stanchions and solid steel bulkheads below the deck; which, In some places, buckled out of the vertical as they yielded beneath the load above. Had the Lusltania not been built of special strength to stand Buch buffeting as this, the results might easily have been very serious indeed; and we are Inclined to agree with her captain in his belief that many smaller and less stoutly built ships, which have disappeared utterly at sea, may have been sent to the bottom by the crushing in of their decks under so-called "tidal waves" of these dimensions.? Scientific American. DESTROYING 8PARROWS. Those Who Think Congress Can Do Anything Might Test Theory. In spite of the recent extraordinary reconciliation between this country and Great Britain, there are certain things British which we cannot endure with complacency and which must be ended or amended. We refer to the British sparrow, long domiciled on our shores. Like the negro, he came unasked, by force in fact; but, unlike the negro, he has prospered out of all proportion to the good of the rest of the community. The English sparrow is a pest. He must be destroyed. Uncle Sam has taken up the matter in great earnest. He has published a book, which is entertaining and instructive. It also contains some unconscious humor. We should think a comic opera might be based on this book. Imprimis we remark that the British sparrow was brought to this country for the definite purpose of eating up the caterpillars which were destroying the trees in city parks. He does not like the diet, apparently. Anyhow he has refused either to perform his duty or to depart The charges brought against him by the agricultural department are many and specific. Towit: He eats up beneficial insects which a benign Providence put around us to destroy other noxious insects and microscopic infusoria. He eats cherries and spoils apples and other fruits. He destroys blossoms just at the fertilizing period, and he drives away other large, but less courageous birds who are wholly beneficial in their aspects. In short, the sparrow is a liar, a thief, a burglar, and a murderous pirate. No wonder Uncle Sam is after him. He must be gotten rid of at all costs, and Uncle Sam tells us many ways to do It: Shoot him, destroy his nests, trap him, poison him, eat him. He should not be eaten after he has been poisoned, but at all costs, get rid of him. The damage he does is estimated at so many millions that, if incorporaed, the sparrow would be one of the greatest and most odious trusts. We are much impressed with the advice and counsel given in this monumental work. As we understand it, a man who devotes all his time and money to ridding his yard of sparrows will thereby reduce the number considerably, but It seems impossible to annihilate them if we are to pay any attention to the meat trust, the Standard Oil trust and a few others. We think the sparrow -should be abolished simply by legislation. Some people seem to think that congress can do anything by flat of law. Here is a chance to tesi the theory.?PhlladelI phia Inquirer. POISON TREES. They Are Found In Only Two Placet In the World. ' In only two places in the werld, nrl onH V-io \i'oct nnoct nf A f. rica, can there be found that most remarkable of nature productions, the Erythrophlocum laboucherl (or poison tree). Referring to this tree in speaking at a meeting of the Sydney Natural History society, A. Meston, formerly protector of aborigines in northern Queensland, says that when in full foliage it is one of the most beautiful trees in the world. The wood is elegantly grained and marked by colors and peculiar streaks which readily distinguished it from any other known [ timber. It is extremely hard and tough, and the blacks of the Cape York peninsula use it for making their woomeras, with which they throw the spear. The tree bears long rods containing beans, which, like the leaves, are fatal to all animal life. The stomach of a dead goat or a dead sheep may show only three or four undlgest ed green leaves. All animals are blind before they die and remain blind if they recover. This tree killed sixteen of the Chilagoe company's camels. It I killed some of the horses and cattle of the Jardine brothers in their expedition to Cape York in 1864. On one occasion it killed several thousand sheep on the gulf rivers. Occasionally an aboriginal Lucretia Borgia disposes of a rival by mixing some crushed beans In a mashed yam or pounded conjeboi, and the unhappy Juliet can nevermore gaze upon her lost Romeo. Even inhaling the smoke of the burning wood is said to have a disastrous effect upon ladies who, in Byronic phrase, are among those "who love their lords;" consequently it is never used for firewood except in extreme cases of matrimonial infelicity.?London Standard. * Chickens can now be plucked by | means of a special electric fan. An Afghan Trick.?During a shooting match in the presence of the governor of Kandahar, the Birdar noticed to his astonishment that the heads of sparrows were the favorite butt of the marksmen, who but seldom missed their aim, whereupon he declared that it was far more difficult to hit an egg. Sir Feter laughed at the supposition, but the sirdar stood his ground, and the matter was put to the test. An egg was suspended on a wall, and the soldiers fired at It; but, strange to say, not one of them hit the egg.

All taxpayers are particularly requested to inform themselves as to the number of their respecti'*e school districts, and where they have property in more than one school district, they will please make separate returns indicating the location of each piece of property.
