APOLOGIES TO BR'ER HAJOIT
Fl?ld M jum. Not Sunny, ft Anathem*
tiiod Girdlor of T root, According
. to KuUm Cxport.
Oftlclal of the State. (Ub aud KMUIO
commission Inform* ut that we are un
just to the rabbit ti? ascribing to him
all the girdling <|f fmlt tree* which ha*
wn golng'on In these parts lately. Our
Informant saya, observes a writer In
the Ohio State Journul. that the Held
mouse In responsible for more than 80
per cent of this damage ami we hasten
to tender our sincere apologies to |he
rabbit. whose feelings we would not
hurt for the world, and are quick to
give the guilty field mouse hl| Junl
?bare of Censure.
Field mice. It seems have the Inde
fensible habit of burrowing among the.
roota of small fruit trees In the fall,
hollowing out a warm place, as Held
nalc$ estimate warmth, and spending
the winter there. Wlteu they get hun
gry and nothing else is available, rtoey
?bin up a little way and eat the bark
of the tree cunningly making tootb^
marks almost exactly like rabbits' and
thus throwing editors and other ex
perts off the scent. The rabbits are
not wholly. without* sin, but a 49 par
cent sinner average* up fairly well
with the rest of us. Moreover, the
rabbit may easily bb lolled In bis
lapses from grace by placlug a piece of
tar paper about two feet lu height* or
a piece of wire uettlng around the base
of each young fruit .ttee. Perhaps this
expedient, like other prohibitory meas
ures, does uot build character In the
rabbit, but It does In the orcbardlst.
Nothing, we understand, can be done
about the field mice uuless one stays
at the foot of the tree and patches
them. They are lost In sin.
DIED. TO ESCAPE SUFFERING
Crew of Crippled Hun Submarine Took
the BasleattiWay Out of a Hope
less Situation.
Admiral Sims In the World's Work
tells of the efficiency of the subchaser
listening devices. Once when a subma
rine had beeu injured uud was lying
on the bottom In shallow water a grew
.some thing was heafd. They Msteiifid,
Itor hours,^without hearing a sound;
put about G o'clock In the afternoon a
sharp piercing noise came ringing over
the wires. It was a sound, that piade
the listeners' blood run ?old.
Only one thing In the world could
pake a sound-like that. It was the
crack of a revolver. The first report
had hardly stilled when andther shot
was heard; and then there were more
In rapid succession.# The listeners on
two different chasers heard these pis
tol cracks and counted them; the re
ports which these men Independently
made agreed In every detail. In all
25 shots came from the bottom of the
sea. As there Were from 25 to 30 men
Ja the submarine crew the meaning
was all too evident. The larger part
of the officers and men, finding them
selves shut tightly In their coffin of
steel,' had resorted to that escape
which was not uncommonly availed of
by German submarine crews In Oils
hideous war. Nearly all of them bad
committed suicide.
Gen. Benjamin Butler's Wit.
General Butler was the lender of
the house In 18T5 and Samuel J. Ran
dall leader of the Democratic side. As
*the Forty-third congress was about
to close I was with Randall* when
Butler came lip, and Randall asked
him to hold a Sunday session. Butler
said no, he would not consent to It;
he never wonjd do nny woirk on Sun
day that was not necessary.
Randall turned and chafflogly said:
"Oh, that Is your New England Purl
tanlsm, I suppose. Thatseeves you to
good> purpose, and I expect to meet
yon some day, Butler, In another and
better world."
Butler replied In a flash: "Oh, no
Sam; 79rwm M there, as yoiT fiRu
here, a member of the lower house."

Taft's Unique Walking Stick.

When Prof. W. S. Foster of Spokane
^was Investigating the'geological his
tory of southern Alberta a few years
cago he discovered a stump In a peat
bed amid glacial,drift In the valley of
j Old Man rlvftr. The age of the stump
was estimated by geologists at a quar
ter of a million years.
Professor Fostet -took . the . stamp
' home to Seattle with other souvenirs
of the glacial epoch and when the
Spokane people on oae of Mr. Taft's
Visits wanted to give him a unique
present they had a cane fashioned
from the wood.

Animal Trainer Reveals faott
About Elephant.
Bay* th# Brute Is Both Tandsr and Af
fectionate, Though H? Will Hold
Grudge Against One Who
H?I Abused Him.
An elephant tlWll t<* a great age and
??oines to maturity slowly. Mid Is

lltlnk an elephant Is clumsy because
lie looks so. In proportion to Its slxe
i? i?? 11h,i 111 (s intu'h lighter on Its
feet than a horse, and can outrun most
horses for a short distance, ^nd there
Is no one of an SlepbftBt't four feat
(hut he cannot Htrlke or kick quickly
sud accurately with.
An elephant can stand considerable
cold If he Is kept moving, I have tsken
elephants in Bridgeport, fitted bags
over their ears snd talis and wgrked
them up to their bellies In the snow
pushing cars without Its doing them
any harm. On the other hand. I lost a
fine elephant onc? us u result of ex
posure to the cold* writes Goorge Conk
lln In the Saturday lOvening Post.
The elephant Is the most affection
ate of animals and will watch over and
protect a favorite keeper, and he will
also hold a grudge against one for
some time, watching for an opportunity
to get even with him. But I do not
believe those popular stories of ele
phants that have remembered fcejng
cheated by strangers and squirting
water over thoni when they had an
opportunity after the lapse of years.
An\angry elephant, however, Is a
dangerous thing, and an elephant
keeper who Is rough is always running
a rlslc. A cross- elf pliant Is usually
male so by t^e keeper. Some men are
na^rally cruel and are willing to do
(ilng to satisfy their desire to show
This Is apt to'be a fault of new
?around>elephants. I knew of the
of a fellow called ^ayou Bill, who
was with the Jerry Mabie show. An
elephant put her truuk round hisshoul
ders,. pulled him offhlS'horse and be
fore anyone could prevent she put one
of her feet on his legs, pulled him in
two and threw the pieces over her
back. I have also known many in
stances of men being squeezed to death
between'a wall and an elephant's head
or under Its foot. But from .a keeper
or trainer who treats theti properly an
elephant will accept punishment, and
when It has given In the man can do
almost anything with It. and the ani
mal will not lay it up against him.
In spite of Its great size the ele
phant Is quite timid. A strange animal
or an unfamiliar noise will start him
In a panic. Once Tody Hamilton, the
Barnum & Bailey press agent,Jinil me
demonstrate to a^group of New iork
reporters how easy It was to frighten
ai> elephant. It was at the winter
quarters iu Bridgeport. We had at the
time some two or three dozen ele
phants, and I let a pig loose among
them. There was a commotion at once.
They snorted and squealed and kicked
?and, by the way, they can use their
hind legs UVegatiing guns. I also put
ik>me rats in among them, and they
were Just as afraid of them. If they
had not been well chained the whole
bunch -would have run away.
Elephants^are driven from the ndJTr,
or left, side, like oxen. The drlVfer
tells them to shy when he wants them
to go'to jthe right and says "come In"
to bring them toward him. "Mile"
means to go fast; "mule up" to trot,
and when lie wants them to stop the
driver calls out "tut." #
Misinterpreting His Motive.
At about three o'clock on? morning
?according to Toby, M. P.?Mr. T. P.
O'Connor was orating In tlie house of
commons to 12 or 15 members lying;
about in rarlotts stages^ of drowsi
ness. , "r, 1
Sir Patrick O'Brien was amongst
them, and, now and then rescuing him
self with a start from falling asleep,
audibly engaged in conversation.
"I protest against this disorderly
conduct!'* exclaimed Mr. O'Connor, at
length. "The honorable baronet Is.
constantly Interrupting me." -
?Slr," replied Sir Patrick, with aj
graceful how, "the honorable gentle
| man misinterprets my motive. I In
r terrupted, It Is true; but It was with
j - the Intention waking the honorable
j gentleman's audience." ? Pearson's
Weekly. * i
Introductions. , .
"I want to have a bill introduced la
congress?" began the emphatic clti-l
sen.
"All right," replied Senator Sorghum.
"But I can tell you In advance that
Introducing a bill in congress is like;
ahy other kind of an Introduction. It I
will result in n f<?\r minutes of pleas
ant courtesy, but It doesn't necessarl
ly lead to any substantial acquaint
