The "cues" were cooked to a turn and greatly enjoyed by the patrons of the entertainment. To all helping hands the thanks of the management are heartily extended. That The Record is carefully read bv its exchanges is evidenced by the fact that last week there were not less than ten clippings from the paper or comments on its editorial utterances. Considering the fact that there are about one hundred weekly and semi-weekly papers in the State, this is a very gratifying recognition on the part of our esteemed contemporaries. J H Pratt, M D, gave an interesting lecture at the Indiantown school Friday night before a large and appreciative audience.

Parties sending notices of hot suppers, want or classified advertisements of any kind will please send or pay cash with order.

Bronson and his hunting companion, neither of whom had seen wild elephants, much less hunted them, found themselves in the middle of a feeding herd, but hidden from the unwieldly animals bv the underbrush. "In Closed Territory*' the Quthnr dp?r>rihfM the eTnerience: 1 It proved to be our day to learn a lot about the elephant's whims and what he can do when he likes. Of Course the creek lay between us, which might seem a protection, but it was not. They all whirled and thundered away from us. But scarcely had we gone a hundred feet before the whole herd came plunging back upon their tracks at the same mad pace. They stopped stock still ten yards from us, as we afterward proved, but they were hidden from us as before. This time they were bunched in a half circle about us. For probably ten minutes there was utter silence; then they started feeding and amusing themselves as before. This continued for perhaps fifteen minutes, when all sound ceased again, and the wood was as still as if they had all dropped dead. And there we sat for the larger part of an hour, wondering how long an afternoon siesta well regulated elephant families usually take. We were in constant expectation of renewed movement by some of the herd. We could have sworn that they were still within the of a biscuit. But when presently a slight stir among the leaves directly before Outram made ug throw up our nr.es out stepped Akuna, who had raced out of our sight at the first stampede. He brought the incredible intelligence that the elephant? were gone out of the bush and were disappearing off toward the north. Magic! No prestidigitator could touch this vanishing act of tons and tons of ambulant weight done under our very noses in a country where we pygmies could hardly stir without causing a racket. 9 And vet it proved to be true. They were all gone, by what miracle of stealth I doubt if the oldest elephant hunter could tell. 6<nn and a kina. Soap used to provide King James I. with a comfortable addition to his income. That canny monarch granted the company of soapmakers of Westminster the monopoly foi the making of soap England in return for the payment of $30 a ton on all soap produced. The importation of soap was forbidden, and officers were appointed to deal with illicit soap boiling, its manufacture even in private houses for domestic purposes being punishable by heafv penalties. Moreover, a proclamation was issued that "the soap made by the company is good, sweet and serviceable for our people." The annual revenue derived by the King from this source amounted to about $150,000. Floorwalker Meant Well.Teased into it, Jones had gone with his wife on an excursion to the realm of bargains, and in the gi;eat building with its many departments he had become separated from his better half. For an hour at least he remained lounging impatiently at the junction of many ways, where lifts, stairs and passengers met, and then, tired and angry, he approached the shopwalker. ''Sir,'* he said to the frockcoated and suave attendant in tones of righteous indignation, "I've lost my wife.''
