PAID FOR HIS" FUN
Prank of Baby Elephant Brought
Retribution.
N«r Patience Exhausted, Mother Ad
.ministered a Spanking That
L Brought Tears In Bucketfuls
From Her Offspring.
In • recent exchange It Is stnted
that elephants are nrnuzlnnly like hu
man beings In the way they discipline
their young. Tho following amusing i
incident was seen by n traveler In an
extensive lumber yurd In Itunna.
While the adult elephant* were fnlth
fully at work the youngsters played
about the yard. The elephant that at
tracted the travelvr's particular atten
tion was hauling. In her chain harness,
■ hug. tree trunk from the bank of
the river.
She had a heavy load, a fact that
her offspring did not realize. Bent on
playing a prank, he wound his j
little trunk about one of the chain
traces and pulled back With nil his j
Strength.
Conscious of the suddenly Increased '
weight, the mother looked around. She ,
saw the youngster and shook her head I
solemnly, but paying no further heed
to h|s teasing, bent again to her work.
Meanwhile the little rnsail, with his
mischievous trunk had loosened the |
ring that fastened tho traces to the
k l°*d.
| While the mother was straining to
*« her burden In motion again, her i
rascally son pulled so sturdily that
she was quite unaware that she bad
been disconnected from her load. Then
Suddenly the youngster let go. Nat
urally enough, tin l mother was thrown
to her knees and her driver hurled In
■ wide circle from her back.
The culprit sought a huge woodpile
that aeemed to offer him at least a tem
porary protection. Ills mother, how
ever, was soon In pursuit, ami lie bail
to flee. Round and round the wood
pile ho dodged, hut his mother, with
her iron harness clanking noisily be
hind her, kept close nt his heels.
Although the little one's greater agil
ity gained some spnee for him at the
corners, his mother eventually over
took him. The first blow of her trunk
drew from him a bawl of pain. At
the second lie sank, quite humbled to
his knees', and then he endured with
out a murmur, although with many
tears, a sound thrashing. Finally the
mother let him up. With tears still
■treamlng and with drooping trunk he
took his disconsolate way out of the
yard.
The little fellow had won the com
plete sympathy of the observer. Con
sequently lie was overjoyed to witness
during the noon hour a touching rec
onciliation. The mother did all she
could to comfort the penitent little
•Inner; she caressed him with her
trunk, cuddled him up against her, and
looked at him as If to say: "You still
r have a mother who loves you."
What Wea Did.
Was Whittle, a teamster down la
Lowell, Ark., was so patriotic during ,
the fall of 1111, befera the Hun wat
Anally vanquished, that he put a
mortgage an his team and wagon fot
SOO and bought War Savings Stamps
in his desire to d * his duty by the
gevarnanent. Some thought Wes was
doing mora than his financial strength
warranted. But he just went down
into the woods, cut up fuel and sold
It and the mortgage was soon lifted.
Mow Wea la buying more stamps, be
cause he realises their Alue'and finds
IM can save.
Crew Demanded Stamps.
Clean up day on the battleship New
Jersey means something more than
hard work to the gobs on hoard that
craft. It means a decided addition to
the ship's fund that is drawing inter
est in the form of War Savings
Stamps. While the war ship was
anchored in Bosto.i harbor recently, |
the crew gathered up all the obsolete |
•hip's fittings, east off jumpers and
Other clothing, books and papers and 1
■ought oat • Junk dealer. The dealer
waa willing to pay cash for the Junk
offering but the crew demanded pay
ment in War Savings Stamps and got
It. All condemned material on batrd
la being carefully stored away in
preparation for another clean up.
Muet Work and Save.
As a portion of Its campaign
against high pricee, the National As
sociation of Credit Men has directed
JJ, letter to each member, declaring
I that the remedy necessary to change
present conditions rests in increased
production and stimulation of per
sonal savings. The Utter was sent
through J. H. Tregoe, secretary and

Oerman Who Has Tried It Declares

One of the strangest character* In
the world Is Auguste Engleliardt, a
young flermon who lives on the Island
of Knhakon, In the (iertiian New

on the coconut, and sleeps on a bed of

( Knglehnrdt Is n singularly handsome
j mnn of about thirty-five, possessing i

I trine he tenches that the coconut Is
I tho original food of man, nnd should
continue to be so, as ull other foods |
: are responsible for the hnd passion*
! In the heart and mind of man.
The "Apostle" claims to have over
MX) disciples In America, and now the
war Is over he Intends to leave his)
Island homo nnd come back to the old
world nnd proclaim his teachings. He
Is also a "sun worshiper," living en
tirely 1n the open nlr, nnd Adopting the
simple dress of the nntives, enlisting (
merely df n "Inva-lava," or loin cloth, :
and when In full dress, that Is. when '

Brusa.
Brusa, Into which British troops

that I'llny wrote the letters to Trajan
which are among the most Interesting
of his voluminous correspondence. It
Is said that ISrusn owes Its existence to
some scheme of Hannibal's, but of the

"One of tha tep Scout laws is thai

Mrs. Jans Deeter Rippin, national di
rector of Girl Scouta. "Thia meana
that a Scout must avoid all useless
waste of every kind, must lie careful
when spending her money and must
always remember that she should I
save every penny that she can invest
in a safe manner. Thia habit of sav
ing, if practiced regularly in youth
will make for better womanhood and
will also give to the Girl Scout s sur
plus in tims of need.
"Reports coming into National Girl
Scout show that the
Idea behind the governments "work
and ssavs" movement appeals to Girl
Scours. They like the Treasury Sav
ings Ccrtffirstss, for they ar« forward
looking girls. That the investment
now of (82.40 means the return in
January, 1926, of SIOO, with the
money mesnwhile absolutely safe
guarded from loss through accident
•r theft, shows them that the certifi
cate is sound. And where are ths
girls of America who do not hsvs

to their mothers; some wish to ssv«
for s trip; others destre to start a

MASTER OF ART OF WOOINB
Missourisn Give* Out Some Pointer*
That May or May Not Be of
Value to Others.
There are expert* In nil lines, bnt
shall not a man who can pwrauade
eight women to marry him rank as an
nuthorlty on matrimony? According
to the Mlssotirlan who Is locked up In
the Tombs ns a confessed bigamist, ths
way to a woman's heart Is through he»
higher emotions. "I appealed to the
best lti women always," he says, "and
never to their lower natures."
Women also, this aitlst In love dis
covered, "like to be swept oft their
feet by those who woo them; they
j have no patience" with the dawdler.
; Nor did he find that it was essential
for the wooer to be handsome or more
than neatly dressed. But these, of
course, are old precepts In the manual
r>f courtship. Ugly men have often
been great rakes, and ardor Is tradi
tionally effective In sweeping the re
luctant fair "off their feet." His main
Contribution to the nrt of love, and It
Is one worthy of Ovid, Is that of the
potency of an appeal to the higher na
ture of women.
But Is "the best" In women a fixed
quullty, or does it vory and require
to be diagnosed In the Individual?
That irftio doubt a difficulty that will
confront ordinary wooers. Is the high
er fetnlnlne nature compatible with
matinee tickets and tea dances, or does
It Incline seriously only to more ele
vated Interests? The recipe apparent
ly leaves the problem nbout as It was
for less successful suitors to whom the
; mystery remains of other men's easy
mastery of an nrt of which they fall
to I earn tho rudiments.—New York

CAUSES OF BROKEN ROMANCE
London Newspaper Points Out Two
Reason'* Why Love's Young Dream
la Rudely Shattered.
Engagement breaking Is In season.
"The marriage arranged between
Captain X and Miss Y will not now
take place." That cold print end to
romance can be read any day now In
the soelcty columns of the papers. It
Is becoming n liublt.
Experts who st tidy these mutters
| declare that the percentage of broken
engagements has never been so high,
and they set down several* reasons,
says the London I>ally Express. The
main one Is:
The great khaki Illusion, (a) The
woman: "You would not believe how
different he looked In his clvlllnn suit,
my dear. I simply couldn't do It." (b)
The man: "She was awfully charm
ing as a driver in the Women's legion,
but when I saw her In one of the new
evening gowns—well, It just couldn't
happen."
The house famine Is given as an
other cause. Two young people who
believe themselves to be twin souls
go out and try to find a future home.
It Is physically Impossible for any
person's temper to stand the strain
of present-day house-hunting. They
qunrrel, and there Is another broken
romance.
Cleaning Rusted Tools.
Elbow grease Is usually the best
thing to use when cleaning rust from
steel, but the following manner has
also lieon suggested : Fasten the steel
tightly to a piece of tine by means ol
wire and place Jt In a Jar containing
water to which sulphuric add lias
been added. Leave It there until the
rust has disappeared. If the article
Is very rusty add a little more acid
from time to time. The process by
which the rust Is retrieved Is electrical.
The steel being In contact with the
sine short-circuited battery cells are
formed, and the rust Is reduced to Iron
•gain by electro-chemical action. The
steel will become darkened by the
process, but will regain Its brightness
If robbed with sweet oil or a mixture
of petrolatum and kerosene.
Stockings for Christmas Only.
The Christmas stocking as generally
known. Is one taken from the bureau
supply for dally wear. In certain
parts of the country, however, tho
Christmas stocking Is never In uso ex
cept to be "hung from the chimney
with care." The New England stock
ing of this kind Is usually long In tho
leg and knitted from woolen yarn.
There ore stockings on Cap* Cod
which have been used by four genera
tions of children. Once emptied of
(heir treasure on Christmas moraine
they are rolled up and marked and

PROUD OF HER FAMOUS SON?,
Massachusetts Has Sent Out Many|
v Who Have Done Great Thing*
y" fn the World,
Not to be too Insistent and greedy,
Massachusetts and her "Old Colony"
should always file thet£, claims to the
honor of producing men that are do
ing the new work of the world, as
well as celebrating forever the Pil
grim Fathers, writes The Listener in
the Boston Transcript. It Is no acci
dent, no mere coincidence, that both
the pioneers of transatlantic air trans
portation should be Massachusetts
men; the. first man to navigate* an
airship from America to England was
Commander Read, whose boyhood's
home was South Hanson, Mass., and
the first engineer to carry the big,
street traffic of New York city under
the Hudson river is Clifford M. Hol
lund, born at Somerset, Bristol county,
thirty-six years ago. Both upper air
and subterranean problems have
brought laurels to boys' of the Old Col
ony public schools. To bfe sure, Com
mander Bead's education was com
pleted at Annapolis Naval academy,
and Mr. Holland's at Harvard univer
sity, where he graduated in 1906. But
