Among the many odd present« re reived by Queen Victoria was an ele- pliant, which, when n mere baby, was sent to her by an Indlhn prince, lie traveled as a deck passenger on one of the Indian mail steamers from Bom bay. and as he had attained but the height of a well-grown calf and was al ways docile and tractable, lie was per mitted to have tlie run of the decks for a.i hour or two every morning. By the sailors he was known ns tlie ••bos’n’s mate." owing to tlie fiencna'it lie had for cnrefull) plekigg up every loose coil of rope that he could find and then throwing ft over the side. !»•- 3 ing. as Jack said, "ns bad ns n naval Ilebtenant for keeping tlie decks tidy." Among other acquaintances that lie formed was that of the ship’s baker, whose galley lie soon discovered to be the place of origin of .all tin» sweet dainties with which be wag fed. Here be made a regular morning call, and was generally tegnled with a tart or piece of cake. But one morning, when he called and extended his trunk, as usual, the cook happened to be In 111 humor, nail in stead of a cake the elephant received a tap on the trunk from the rolling pin. The blow was not severe, but the bos’n turned tall and went trumpeting w the Jisû, where be took a pualtlon lookout, loafer. "As long's they hustle there ain't no way o’ stoppin' me benefitin’ by it. An’ there ain't no need o’ me doin’ anythin’ but wait." Tlie baggageman shook his head. "There'd ought to be some way,” be said. "Hut you’ll prob’ly have to wait a long time.” “Mabbe, an’ mabbe not. My eyes ain’t ehet all o' the time. How much hustlin' has ol’ Sam Harding done in the last thutty years? Or Lute Merrl- weather? Yes, sir. I’ve got ambition, I’m goln’ to tie richer’n bottom-land mud. I'm goin' to have stock in the Farmers’ National an' another farm or two. an’ a good bouse. You wait an' see.” "I ain’t got no forty -acres,” saial the baggageman. t , "My credit’ll be gilt edge anywheres in town,” said the loafer, taking a chew of tobacco. •"1*11 have folks stand around for me. I’ll have good grub to eat an' I’ll smoke seegars. I'll'have a woman to cook for me, mabbe.” “That's the only hope for you, dem your ornery hide,” said the baggage man. "If you git a woman with some snap to her mabbe she'll make you go to work.” “I'll wait an’ see.” said Bill, smiling. “Not around this dee-po you won’t, you blametl sheeptick,” said the bag gageman. “If I stay In this town I may have to help make you rich, but that wori’t prevent me kickin' you now. Git off that truck now.” "I don’t see no reason for you gettln' mad." said the loafer, as he moved slowly away.—Chicago Dally News. that enabled hhn to watch for his as- sailant. Before long he saw the baker leave his "shop,” and having apparently made up his mind what to do, the bos-’n promptly marched down, and with a few vigorous sweeps of bls trunk clear ed every shelf In the bakery. Loaves, tarts, cakes, patty-pans and cake-tins lay In a confused heap on the deck, This achieved, ht» bolted like a mis- etiievous achooltxjy and was locked up In disgrace; but when the clrcum- stances became known the popular ver diet was In his favor, and he was al lowed his liberty as before. » Bos'n-was no sooner set free again than he marched down to the baker’s and from that day he never failed to exact his tribute. It was regularly paid and he and the baker became the best of friends. Ml«» Any group of four or more players can have great fun in the woods or where there are tall grass and other objects to hide behind. First, two lead ers ate chosen, by any of the usual counting out methiHls, and these two leaders choose sides. Then .there is a toss-up to see which side Is “k” first. Tlje players on tills side all hide their eyes and count together out loud up to say. 300. Meanwhile the players on the other side hasten away in a group mid hide as completely as possible. Thea tlie search begins. When any one of the. hunting party discovers the hiding group, a great shout or a war whoop is raised, and that side then lias to count while tlie other side hides. It should be agreed that qertaln limits or Iwgitidarlesare not to be crossed. Where the woods Tire thick, or where there is plenty of underbrush, the s|>ort Is fine. < onchlnK A century ago London was noted for its coaching Inns. To-day only one re mains in lx>ndon proper to recall tile ga.vety of coaching parties that assem bled in tlie comfortable parlors for an evening of pleasure, says the New York Herald. George Inn. the last of the famous taverns where the nobility of England gatiiered hi years gone by was probably the most popular that lined the roadwi^vs’of the English capital. Jt was through his association with the lleople who frequented George Inn thnt Charles Dickens began to attract wide spread attention as a novelist and writer. More than tiiree score yeifrs ago lie was a familiar figure when rev elry held sway tin the now antiquated tavern. . Here it was that Air. Dickens met Mr. Penwick and tlie various characters he hnmoratilzed in “Pickwick Papers” and bounded at once into popular favor as a hmorist «nd close student of charac ter. The attracttvpncgs of the old Inn Is still maintained at a high standard, and it is to-day a fnvotlte stopping place for travelers and coaching parties. Nothing lias lieen removed from the place to dim tlie iwmorles of the past. Tlie «nme old fashioned chairs, benches, tables and furniture are there that were in use a century ago. and the dec orations have never been altered.

A little time Iiefare that Repairing Neatly and Promptly Done at Lowest Living Prices. Nebraska and Missouri got into the federal supreme court over a question of Jurisdiction over an Island in the river opposite Nemaha County, Neb. The river cut off a section of the coun ty and made an island of It, placing it close to the State of Missouri line. The newly made Islanders protested against being so suddenly transferred into Mis All Kinds of sourians, and persist in voting in Ne- braska. Within the last few years changes in the river’s course have transferred a lot of Iowa land in what was once known as the East Omaha bottoms to the Nebraska side, while other changes a little further south have transferred a part of Harpy County,.

As a result the children in each of the public patronage solicited new section have to pay for tuition in the counties of which they are not le gally a part, and are unable to take advantage of the free schools on tne other side of the river toward the sup port of which they pay taxes. Land titles are also mixed, and as there is also a conflict of Jurisdiction it Is be- coming’ a sort .of no man's land for criminals. ¿5 * , e G • ’o •• fl. * < ) 3 . -* SHOES BOOTS M.

THE PACIFIC The Nam Sang, arrived here from Hong Kong, picked up three emaciated Chinese coolies’on a bamboo raft. The men, who are very thin, say that about a month ago they sailed from Singa pore iu a Junk, the persons on the craft numbering eight all told. Everything went well till tfielr voy age had been a week In progress, and then one morning a terrible storm arose and their vessel was whirled be-’ fore. It like a cork. After driving before the gale for some hours the Junk suddenly went to I'leces on a small Island and with good luck they all managed to get ashore, though they were severely bruised and battered in the surf. ■ For two weeks- the eight men remain ed on the island, eating shellfish and drinking water caught ’in. the crevices of rocks. As no sail hove in sight, three of the moat daring decided tv> build a craft and put to sea In the hope of drifting into the track of steamers. With the aid of their, comrades the three*adventurers built a raft out of giant txanboos, which grew in profu- sion on the Island, and with a stock of dried fish and a little water put to sea one day amid the farewell shouts of their less daring comrades. For six days the buoyant bamboo raft drifted steadily away from the isl and without a single sail appearing on tlie horizon, and as their stock of food and water was gone the men prepared to die. On the evening of the sixth day, how» ever, smoke was seen on the horizon and then the hull of II steamer came Into view making right for the ca¡*t- awaya.
