BUYING A PUPPY.
Storiaa That A rt Told About Thole

Mika W as to n g on Human Foaling.
In eastern countries elephants do
wonderful work in the way of drag­
ging and sorting timber and in
breaking up obstructions caused by
logs and miscellaneous flotsam in
streams. An English army official
says he has often watched the ele-
hanta in a timber yard, and the
uman way in which they will test
the weight o f a log requires to be
seen to be credited. The tusker
will lift up one end with his trunk,
and if he deems it within his power
to lift the whole he will shift his
trunk gradually until he gets to
the exact center; then by kneeling
down he will roll the log on to his
tusks and will carry it either to be
stacked or to the sawmill.
On tea estates the elephants are
occasionally employed to help in
building construction by keeping
the masons supplied with blocks of
stone, apd if the wall be not too
high they will not only take the
block up, but lay it quite correctly
in its proper place. A Ceylon ele­
phant used regularly to lay stones
iln this way under the orders o f an
overseer, to whom he used to sig­
nal to inspect and “ pass” the work
done and to give permission for
fresh courses to be laid.
On one occasion the elephant
placed himself against part of the
wall, thus preventing the overseer
from examining that part of the
job. The latter, however, insisted
on the animal moving aside, and
the elephant, seeing his ruse had
failed, at once began to pull down
the wall which he had just built add
which he was quite aware was bad­
ly done at the very spot where he
had tried to conceal it from the
eye of his master.
A Burmese ship captain also tells
story of a-female elephant which
he, while anchored off the coast,
frequently saw come out of the jun­
gle to bathe in the sea, accompa­
nied by her youngster. The little
chap used to keep in the shallow
water while the mother ventured
farther out, but one morning, while
his parent was not looking, the
youngster got beyond his depth, be­
came frightened and made a great
to-do.
The mother pulled him
ashore and gave him a good spank­
ing with her trunk. Each succeed­
ing morning the little one was com­
pelled to stand on the bank while
the mother first bathed herself and
afterward washed him down with
water fetched in her trank.— Pear­
son’s Weekly.
The children burst into their
mother’s room like a twin cyclone.
“ Oh, mamma,” the two shouted
in one gasping breath, “ what do
you think ? We can get a puppy for
$1!” The mother did not seem par­
ticularly impressed with this bar­
gain in dogfiesh.
“ What on earth do you want with
a puppy?” she asked. “ And what
sort of a puppy is it ?”
“ We want to play with it an* love
it an’ teach it to stand on its hind
legs,” elucidated the little girl.
“ It’s a yellow puppy!” exclaimed
the little boy. “ Mike McDonough
down at the carpenter shop’s got
’em. There's six.”
“ Well, ask your father,” sighed
the mother, turning again to her
sewing. “ I f he says so I haven’t
anything to say.”
The children withdrew for a con­
ference. Here was a situation not
to their liking. I f mamma had
promised her influence probably
papa would have been easy. Since
she put it up to them this way the
purchase o i that puppy was doubt­
ful.
“ How much money have you
got?” asked the little boy. The
two were seated gloomily upon the
back steps.
,
*Tve got 10 cents,” said the lit­
tle girl, “ and mamma owes me a
quarter for workin’ in the garden.”
“ That ain’t money,” said her
brother scornfully. “ I f I had all
the money they owed me for work-
in’ in the garden an’ things I’d be
rich.”
“ Have you got any?” asked the
little girl. “ Any at all ?”
“ I ’ve got 43 cents in my bank,”
said her brother, “ but we’d have to
break the bank to get it o u t”
“That’s half enough to buy a
puppy!” exclaimed the little girl
delightedly. “ We’ll get the rest
sure.” -
The two went down to the car­
penter shop again to look at the
puppies.
“ Going to buy one?” asked Mike
McDonough, grinning.
“ I f we can get the. money,” said
the little boy. “ We’ve got 43 cents
and 10 cents. That makes more’n
half.”
“ Now, here,” said Mike McDon­
ough, for Mike McDonough was a
kindly soul, “ won’t your pa buy you
a pup?” The children snook their
heads.
*
“ We’ re afraid to ask him,” they
admitted, “ but we got 53 cents, and
pretty soon we'll have some more.”
“ Now, here,” said Mike McDon­
ough in a burst of human feeling,
“ I’ve got too many pups. There’s
a little one in the lot I haven’t got
room for. You can just take it
home.”
“ For 53 cents?” gasped the chil­
dren joyously.
“ For 53 nothin’ !” said Mike Mc­
Donough. “ I’m givin' you a pup.
Come on here; let’s get it.”
And with a child clutching either
hand the red headed dog owner
made his way toward the stable,
and every step he took carried him
closer to paradise and carried tho
little ones closer to an immediate
heaven, peopled largely by little yel­
low pups.— Galveston News.
A Patient Priscilla.
Katie, o f Pennsylvania Dutch
descent, had served for ten years in
a wealthy Virginia family.
For more than half of this term
of service one Jacob of her own
people had at intervals come a-call-
ing. He had sat in the kitchen and
watched the deft and skillful move­
ments of Katie with marked respect
and ponderous admiration, but he
had never “ spoken.” At length to­
ward the end of the seventh year
she took the reins of destiny in her
own hands and addressed her ad­
mirer thus:
