ELEPHANTS AS WORKERS.
Without .Them Burma's Taakwood
Trade Would Languish.
Since ISSil the export of teakwood
from Bunmi has Increased enormous
ly; but, despite the phenomenally high
price of the wood. It would not be
prolitable to work it, even in these
days, without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants, massive
animals whose strength is almost un
limited, are seen nt their best as beasts
of burden.
From the time when the forest areas
are purchased, before the trees are
felled, to the hour of export on the
ocean going vessels at the port on the
Indian ocean the elephant is the main
worker. Far away In the malarial
swnmps and almost impenetrable jun
gles this majestic benst first tramps
down a passage through the under
growth. Then, guided by his Indian
keeper's prong, the elephant com
mences bis arduous labor of dragging
the felled, trees to the river, whence
they are conveyed by raft down coun
try to the sawmills.
These enormous trees, untrlmmed
and cumbrous, nre sometimes dragged
up and down the Jungle and mountain
forest pathways en route to the river
with rare precision. At the mills
again the work of packing and stack
ing Is done exclusively by elephants.
When the trees nre sawed Into lengths
the elephants do the piling, bringing
the huge planks from the sheds ami
arranging them In an orderly manner
In numbered piles. Argonaut.
PIPE ORGAN RECITAL
Hard on the Lawyer.
Sir William Jones was receiving a
visit from Mr. Day, a man of some
note at that time. During a conversa
tion Sir William moved a book from its
place, and a large spider dropped to
the ground.
"Kill that spider. Day! Kill that
spider!" cried tne great scholar.
"No," said Mr. Day, "I will not kill
that spider, Jones. I don't know that
I have a right to kill that spider. Sup
pose now that you were going down
to Westminster hall In your carriage
and some superior being, who might
have ns much power over you ns you
have over this spider, should call out:
'Kill that lawyer! Kill that lawyer!"
How should you like tlint. Jones? And
I am sure that to most people a lawyer
Is a more noxious creature than a
spider."
Why Is It?
That a legless man can "put his foot
In It?"
That persons who are "consumed by
curiosity" still survive?
That frequently n sinking fund Is
used to meet a Moating debt?
That straining the voice is not the
proper way to make It clearer?
That we speak of a stream running
dry when the only way It can run is
wet?
That wives should expect their hus
bands to foot the bills without kicking?
That we talk of some one "going
straight to the devil" when he has to
be crooked to go there? Boston Tran
script. Two Things Distinguish Men.
The essential things which distin
guish one person from another, which
give one mnu n higher place and an
other n lower, are Just two.
First of all, perseveronce the ability
to keep everlastingly at it, and second,
Imagination or vision the ability to
see beyond the present and to under
stand that the work nt hand reaches
beyond the present moment and so Is
worth while.-St. Nlcbolus.
Frederick W. Goodrich of Portland,
the noted pipe organist, has been se
curtd to give the opening organ recital
at the Asbury M. E. church. The date
will be announced later.
The Oregonlan says: "Mr. Good
rich's playing was a treat, and he fully
sustained his reputation as one of the
most finished pipe organists In the
Pacific Northwest."

Our Present School System
Should Be Left to
Stand
By Dr. NATHAN
C. SCHAEFFER. State Superintendent of Public
Instruction of Pennsylvania
UITLRS who have never taught a school successfully, who
have never had a chilJ of their own to educate and who
could not make a dress or cook a palatable meal with the
best effort, are always LOUDEST IN T1IE CRY FOR
REFORM.
Without doubt teachers arc in danger of being too conservative.
Life is ever changing, and progress is the watchword everywhere.
The SCHOOLS NKKD READJUSTMENT as civilization ad
vances and the conditions of life change.
THE THEORIST AND THE REFORMER ARE NEEDED AMONG A
FREE PEOPLE. BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO LAY
VIOLENT HANDS UPON THOSE FEATURES OF THE SCHOOL WHICH
HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF AGES AND WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO
THE JOY OF LIFE DURING THE HOURS NOT DEVOTED TO BREAD-WINNING.
ONE-HALF MILLION DOLLARS
Represents in round numbers the amount of land which we
have succeeded in disposing of during the past two years for I
our clients in noon Kiver Valley. Mot at all bad we are
thinking considering the rather unsettled condition of the
general real estate market of the country during that time.
We are rather proud of the record which accounts for our
"blowing our horn" in this manner.
In view of the fact that so much property has been sold
from our lists we find that we are short on some few classes
of places, and we would be very glad to have listings on any
good properties that are fpr sale in the valley, which we do
not now have.
We are now making up our lists for the coming season's
work which we anticipate will be a good one, and would be
glad to have those who have their propert listed and those
who wish to give us new listings, call on us as soon as convenient.
