Zoological Park. Gunda, the elephant.
Is the guilty party. He has hitherto
been considered a most respectable and
UDrlarht member of society. A writer
iu the New York Tribune tells the sor
ry tale. Gundu's many visitors have
been In the habit of presenting pennies
to Jack Gleason, the keeper, which he
would Dlace on the floor of the ele
phant bouse.
Gunda would then Dick up these
coins with his trunk and deposit them
In a small box above his head, and
would ring a bell to register the
amount of the deposit Lately the
business has become very heavy, owing
to the thousands of visitors, and filea
son decided to go over the "books" and
figure out bis exact receipts.
The result Is that Gunda Is in dis
grace, and will be made tne subject or
an official Investigation by the aide of
which the late prosecution of bank
and Insurance grafter will look tame.
The details of the defaulting Gunda
are as follows:
Gunda certainly deposited the pen
nies In the box and as certainly rang
the bell, but thereafter his ways be
came dark and devious. Ne t -sooner
was Gleason'a back turned than he
would pick them out with Ms trunk
and put them Into bis mouth. When a
visitor appeared Gunda would put a
cent on the floor and go through the
form of dropping it In again, and ring
the bell.
Gleason sought to stop the fraud by
driving small staples Into the bottom
of the box, so that the penny could
drop between them. This presented no
difficulties to Gunda, who simply elon-.
gatbed the tip of his trunk and pulled
the cent out Then long nails, which
acted as a barrier, were put in In place
of the staples.
But still the receipts and the regis
ter did not agree. One day Gleason,
turning unexpectedly, caught the ele
phant In the act of reaching to the top
of the partition wall with bis trunk.
Gunda, on seeing he was discovered,
affected an air of easy nonchalance,
which, however, did not deoelve his
keeper, who climbed to the top of the
wall. The mystery was solved. There
lay pennies, old and new, In luxurious
profusion, and Gunda hung his head
and sulked.

There are a number of American

As a side trip the American tourist
may go over the new Pan-American
railroad, which now runs from San
Geronlmo, a Station on the National
Tehuantepec road, to within 100 miles
of the Guatemala border. Considerable
progress has been made ln the construc
tion of this last 100 miles, and the
builders declare that in less than a '
year the road will be finished to the
Guatemala border. Deer, wlld nogs
and other game which are to be found
ln tropical Mexico abound all along
the route. There are no restrictive
game laws, and the sportsman can hunt

Try to -SmaareTle Jewelry.
To prevent smuggling by tourists, an
evil said to be growing, Jewelers ln
this city and elsewhere will ask the
Treasury Department officials to take a
new attitude on the subject The
practice has been .to bring proceedings
to forfeit the smuggled articles and
sometimes a compromise Is effected per
mitting the tourist to keep the Jewelry
on payment of the actual duties. The
Jewelers eay that tourlstu who smuggle
should be prosecuted criminally.
The situation Is said to Invite smug
gling, since detection usually means
nothing more than payment of duties
which should be paid anyway ,and
there is the chance of getting through
without paying anything. The Im

the monotony of his work.
"Why don't you have a holiday,"
said Leech, "and take your girls to the

The great novelist made no verbal

PICTUKESQUE DRESS.
Worn by Native Womea 1st lalhomaa
of Tchoaatepee,
It Is believed that many American
and European tourists will be attract
ed to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec as
soon as they learn that the National
Tehuantepec railroad has been complet
ed and opened for traffic and regular
steamship service has been established
between Coatzacoalcos and United
States and European porta, and be
tween the Pacific coast terminal, Salina
Crux and San Francisco, says the New
York Tribune. The Isthmus of Te
huantepec has heretofore been so far
removed from through lines of travel
that comparatively few pleasure seek
era have visited it In its winter cli
mate the isthmus Is unexcelled. The
air Is bracing and refreshing. Even in
summer the heat Is not oppressive, and
at Santa Lucrecla, where an altitude
of several hundred feet Is reached,
there are all of the comforts that are
to be found at most summer resorts In
the United States. In order to aocom
modate visitors large hotels have been
provided at Coatzacoalcos, Santa Lu
crecla, Salina Cruz and other places
along the line of railroad.
There are many interesting things to
be seen on the Isthmus, not the least
of which are the native Tehuanas or
Indian women. They wear a peculiar
dress that is to be seen In no other
part of Mexico. It Is called the Huipll
dress. It consists of a short cape,
made of white or colored muslin, with
a deep lace border of white or the pal
est lavender, a lace collar, short sleeves,
with long ruffles; a short muslin Jacket
of some bright color, with low neck and
short sleeves, and a petticoat which Is
Imply an oblong piece of crimson or
dark blue cotton cloth, wound around
the lofna, where it Is confined by a
sash, and reaching to the ankles. This
peculiar dress Is worn by every Tehuana
woman aad child, without respect to
age or social position. It Is worn In
many different ways, according to the
occasion, and Is always of the brightest
colors obtainable.
The market place ln Tehuantepec la
irom aoroaa indicate tnat duties are
paid on only an Insignificant part of
the Jewelry which Americans buy
abroad and bring back to New York.
According to prominent Jewelers here
the -smuggling of jewelry has become a
fad of tourists who take greater and
greater pride In their skill In deceiving
the customs Inspectors.
Several fine necklaces and brooches
of pearls and 'diamonds are said to
have been exhibited lately to Jewelers
In this city for valuation and owners
found to their surprise that the arti
cles could be duplicated here for much
less than the prices paid abroad. Jew
elers ace convinced that these Jewels
have been smuggled. The explanation
given by the Jewelers Is that they can
buy abroad at bottom prices and even
with the duties and a fair profit added
the total ia below what tourists eager
to "beat the government" are ready to
pay. New York Times.

Edgar Saltus, the brilliant novelist,
was asked by a young lady at a tea if
be thought that the use of quotations
was a good thing.
"Quotations are only good," said Mr.
Saltus, "when they are extremely apt.
There was once a witty Irishman,
Jumes E. Fitzgerald, who made excel
lent use of a quotation in a political
speech. During this speech he was re
peatedly Interrupted by a butcher, the
proprietor of a large sausage-making
plant An adherent of Fitzgerald's
finally took offense at the butciier's
mocking' remarks, and yelled :
'Hey, you, leave politics alone, and
go back to your sausage machines!'
"The butcher glared at the man and
retorted :
" 'If I bad this speaker ln one of my
sausage machines, I'd soon make mince
meat of him.'
"Then Mr. Fitzgerald quoted from
the platform with a smile:
'"Is thy servant a dog that thou
shouldst do thU thing? "
A Queer Error.
The late Ambrose L. Thomas, the
noted advertising expert of Chicago,
once told a story about two doctors ln
an address on advertising.
"To illustrate my point," he said,
apropos of an advertising error, "I'll
tell you about my friend Bones. Bones
was taken down very bad, and, his fam
ily physician being out of town, a spe
cialist was called ln. J
"But the family physician unexpect
edly returned, and he and the special- j
1st entered Bones' chamber together. ,
They found the man in a high fever j
and partially unconscious.. Each put j
his hand under the bed clothes to feel
Bones' pulse, and each accidentally got
hold of the other's hand.
" 'He has typhoid,' said the first phy
sician. " 'Nothing of the kind,' said the oth- '
er. 'He's only drunk."
Plenty of Parenta. ''
At Qulmper, In Brittany, the wife of
a man named Le Saux gave birth to a
boy. The father took the child and
sold it for 8 to the wife of the local .
butcher, Mme. Bonan. The woman pre-1
sented it to her husband as her own
newly-born infant and Bonan hastened
to register the child's birth.
Le Saux, fearing that he might get
Into trouble with the police, next con
sulted the butcher, whom he supposed
to be a party to the fraud. The duped
husband threw Le Saux out of the 1
house. The latter then registered the
birth of his own child. In the eye of
the law, therefore, the Infant has
claims on two separate families and en
Joys the unique distinction of being
the son of two mothers. Paris News.
