An old elephant taken into battle oav the plaint of India was a standard bearer and carried on his huge back tha royal enaign, the rallying point of the Poena liot. At the beginning of the light he lost hia master. Tbe "mahoot," or driver, hod juat given the word to halt, when be received a fatal wound and fell to the ground, where he lay under a heap of alain. The obedlentela phant stood still while the battle closed around him. and the standard he carried. Us never stirred a foot, re fusing to advaooe or retire, aa the ooar filet became hotter and fiercer, until the Mabrattas, seeing the standard sttB flying steadily in ita place, refused to believe that they were being beaten and rallied again and again around the colors. And all this tfbile, amid the din of battle, the patient animal stood straining its ears to catch tbe sound of that voice It would never bear again. At length the tide of conquest left the field deserted. Hie Mahfattas swept on in pursuit of tbe flying foe, but the elephant, lil(e a- rock, stood there, with tbe diiad and dying around, and the en sign waring in its place. For three days and nights It remained where Its master had given the command to halt. No bribe or threat could move it. They then sent to a village 100 miles away and brought the maboot'a little son. The noble hero seemed then to remem ber how the driver had sometimes given, his authority to the little child, and Im mediately, with all the shattered trap ping! clinging aa he went, paced quiet ly and slowly away.

One day lately the entire summer col ony of the island of Monhegan turned out and helped the fishermen dresa and salt 50 barrels of mackerel. It has been a hard year for the fisher men, for, on account of lack of bait ana food fishes, the cod fishery has been a complete failure, and the unexpected taking of the SO barrels of mackerel created great excitement along shore. The fish were small and' the weather warm, so that they had to be dressed and packed at once or they would spoil. So many men had gone away to the mainland looking for employment that there were not enough left to care for the mackerel. The summer boarder volunteered their services, and men and women were soon standing about tha dories and splitting tables, dressed in their oldest clothes and working with might and main to help the fishermen. Well-known men and women of Mew York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Kansas City all plied the splitting- knife and the "gibber," and at sunset the last mackerel had been salted and $500 saved for the fishermen. , YouJTry It.

There the little brothers discovered it; and the crown prince, explaining to the younger ones thai "papa" sometimes sat on his opera hat and it came out all right again, proceeded to give a prac tical illustration of this statement, ti the ruin of the beaver. The emperor's door suddenly opened, and "papa" and the professor appeared. Like a manly little fellow, the erown prince owned up, apologized to tne laugning proies-. sor and went off to buy for tbe old gen tleman a new hat with hia small posket money. sita-atir mim.
