Pardoned by an Elephant
Burmese Princess Condemned to Death by King's Decree For
Loving a Water Carrier Is Saved by the Clemency
of the Royal Executioner.
Ordinary modes of execution are con
sidered too plebeian for Burmese roy
alty, so when a niece of King Thee
baw offended him by eloping with a
handsome young water carrier attach
ed to the palace she was condemned
to die by the feet of the royal execu
tioner, a monster elephant kept and
trained for th:> purpose. The girl was
captured and brought back, but the
youth, considering discretion the bet
ter part of vaior, made good his es
cape and left his sweetheart to the
tender mercies of her enraged rela
tives.
On the morning appointed for the
execution and long before dawn a
steady stream of people began to flow
in from the surrounding country to
the compound where it was to take
place. Many of them had come from
long distances and camped overnight
on the road so as to be early on the
spot, for it is not often that a member
of the kiug's family is publicly put to
death. Laughing* chattering, nibbling
an early breakfast of fruit or cakes
bought on the way, the eager, pushing,
as she walked, and she gave no sign of
fear, but looked composedly about her
while she stood waiting the arrival of
the king, whose appearance would be
the signal for her execution. Many
pitying glances were directed toward
her as her romantic story passed from
lip to lip. Only one white man was
present?the American captain of one
of the British steamers plying the Ir
rawaddy?and he was there by special
invitation from Theebaw, with whom
he was quite a favorite.
After a long wait, which tried every -
hody's patience, the king appeared,
walking under a green umbrella. The
girl's ankles were then tied, firmly to
gether and her arms pinioned tightly to
her sides, and she was stretched face
down on the path. The gate at the end
of the compound was thrown open at
the blast of a trumpet, and the royal
executioner came out, a huge beast,
whose massive feet had crushed out
more than one life. He had not yet
been to water and lumbered rapidly
across the inclosure, eager for his
morning drink and bath. Every voice

THE ROYAL EXECUTIONER.
jostling crowd hurried along, seeking
points of vantage from which they
could get a good view of the execution.
The compound wa3 covered with a
rank growth of tall grass except for a
path leading straight through it from
the king's stables to the river. This
patch had been beaten hard by the
feet of the elephants passing to and
fro every day to water. Space was re
served on each side of the path for
the king, members of the royal house
hold and the palace guards, and back
of the soldiers Theebaw's loyal sub
jects could stand where they liked.
The princess?she was sixteen years
old?was brought out between two stal
wart soldiers, with Prince Singh, her
brother, walking close to her, whisper
ing consolation. Her hands were bound
behind her back, and she wore an em
broidered robe of pale yellow silk, with
little high heeled French slippers on her
feet The bangles on her arms and the
chains about her neck tinkled musically
A HUGE BEAST, CAME OUT.
was hushed, every ey? was riveted on
the motionless form lying in his path
and every face set in tense expectancy.
Then a strange thing happened. The
elephant halted, lowered his trunk,
touched the rumpled heap of yellow
silk delicately witli its sensitive tip
and, stepping carefully over the pros
trate princess, continued on his way to
the river, while a wild chorus of de
lighted shouts and yells broke out be
hind him. He had refused to sanction
the king's decree, and from the royal
elephant's decision there can be no ap
peal in Burma, so amid great rejoicing
the girl was lifted to her feet and led
back to the palace until some other
punishment could be found to fit ncr
case. Later she escaped, fled to the
British steamer lying at the wharf and
was concealed by the American cap
tain, who carried her down the river,
where she was met by her lover, and
the pair were finally smuggled out of
Burma by sympathizing friends.
Chicago Goat Gets a Jag On.
Four Footed Hobo, Befriended by Saloon Keeper, Drinks Latter's
"Medicine" and Falls Into Hands of the Law.
John Aranson ejected a drunken goat
from his saloon at 8911 Commercial
avenue, Chicago, with the aid of a po
liceman. Aranson befriended the goat
when it came to the saloon door al
most frozen. He gave the animal food
and a shelter in a shed at the rear of
the saloon,
Mrs. Aranson, who has been ill with
grip for several days, asked her hus
band to prepare her some whisky and
quinine. He had prepared the "medi
cine" and was ready to take it to the
sickroom when he beard hie wife call
ing to him. Leaving the medicine in
a large mixing glass on a chair in the
saloon, he ran upstairs.
When he returned a few minutes lat
er, he found the goat lying full length
on the floor in a drunken stupor and
the broken glass near by. Aranson
called In a policeman who was passing,
and they lifted the animal from the
floor and threw it on a enow pile out
side of the place to sober up. When
Billy came to he wabbled down the
street and was last seen tacking to
ward a corner drug store.
Pet Dog Brought the Doctor.
Nature Fake Factory at Rahway, N. J., Furnishes a Remarkable
Tale of Animal Sagacity.
Taken from the neck of a shaggy
dog, where it had been tied, a note was
handed Dr. C. B. Holmes at his office
at Rahway, N. J. The time marked on
the paper indicated the note had been
written only an hour before at the
home of Mrs. Andrew Woodbury, lo
cated six miles outside of Rahway.
The note read:
"Joe or whoever sees this first, send
the doctor up right away. Mamma is
not so well. Have him come this morn
ing sure and bring some median?*"
Dr. Holmes drove to the farm at
once and found Mrs. Woodbury dan
gerously 111. He said only the prompt
appearance of the dog enabled him to
give the sufferer effective treatment aud
save her life.
The dog Is owned by Mrs. Woodbury
and has been trained to carry parcels.
The animal has never lost a package
while acting as messenger for the
Woodbury household.
Everything taken into the stomach
should be digested fully within a cer
tain time. When you feel that your
stomach is not in good order, that the
food you have eat?n is not being di
gested, take a good, natural digest
ant, that will do the work the diges
tive juices are not doing. The best
remedy known today for all stomach
troubles is Kodol, which is guaran
teed to give prompt relief. It is a
natural digestant; it digests what you
eat, it Is pleasant to take and is sold
here by A. C. Dukes; A. C. Doyle &

Saving Her Own Books.
The fact that some person will occa

own honte puzzles the library attend
ants. Oue day a librarian sought en
lightenment on this duplication.
"You just bought a set of these books
for yourself, did you not?" she In
quired of a woman who had asked for

been delivered yet?"
"Oh. yes; they've come all right,"
was the reply, "but I don't like to use

A Japanese Woman of Fashion.
A Kobe newspaper gives the cost of
the wearing apparel of a Japanese
woman of fashion. She wears $13.80
worth of clothing under her kimono,
which costs $25. The obi costs anoth
er $123. Numerous tying parapherna
lia sum up to $17.50, and a set of foot
gear amounts to $0. Combs and hair
pins, ornamented with gems, cost $243;
a shawl. $7.50; a diamond neck clasp.
$150; handkerchiefs. 25 cents each; a
gold watch. $150?about $018 in all for
a season. A middle class woman wears
altout $150 worth of clothing each year,
according to the same newspaper.
At times when you don't feel just
right, when you have a bad stomach,
take something right away that will
assist digestion; not something that
will stimulate for a time but some
thing that will positively do the very
work that the stomach performs un
der ordinary and normal conditions
that will make the food digest. To do
this you must take a natural diges
tant like Kodol for Dyspepsia. Kodol
is -a scientific preparation of vegeta
ble acids with natural digestants and
contains the same juices found in a
healthy stomach. Each dose will di
gest more than 3,000 grains of good
food. It is sure to afford prompt
relief; it digests what you eat and is
pleasant to take. Sold by A. C.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is to certify that Miss Daysie Way, a graduate of the Orange
burg Business College, has been in the employ of this Company as
stenographer in my office for the past five months, her work has been
acceptable in every respect. She is quick at transcribing dictation re
markably speedy on the machine, and consdering the fact that prior to
her employment with us she had had no experience in practical com
mercial work, the system taught her must have been a thorough one or
else she would uot have been able to make good.
There is no question but that Miss Way has prove a credit to her
self and to the training received at the Orangeburg Business College.
