One time Desperado Made No Impression A lilackstone fanner, grazing Ills cows by tin roadside and reading a bmik comfortably against a wall, whs Interrupted tha other day by a dusty mraniter who Inquired, not without pride-: "Do you know who I arat Vm ncniblad." That sor aald the farmer, turn- log a page. "I've been sleeping In your barn for ten da.va and I'm getting tired of It." The agriculturist read, on unper- turbed. A queer duck, thought the stranger, and he drew a gun from hla , n ,'lV.TUBr?fc! . - 1 I think Til knock that cap oft your ,, I wouldnt," auggested the farmer, V "r -u iron, ms ". juu uiijui mi iuw sou nun nil". - What waa the use? After a fellow has achieved fame by escaping from on Insane asylum, robbing a acore f bouses and stores, stealing a garase ful of automobllea and thumbing his nose at the police of two etntes and a dozen towns for weeks, here was a hick who preferred readlag a darned old book to listening to his heroic tale of adventure.

'Elephants Must Be it . Allowed to increase Elephant hunting In the Jungles of India la becoming more dllllcult be- cause of the thlunlng of the herds. There was a time, not many years ago, when the elephant drive always yielded a good harvest, say KM) or more young ones, from which a num ber of perfect specimens could be se lected. But now the hunters are for tunate If they get eight or nine good onea from a bust Some of the young elephanta are se lected for training and are divided Into groups of varloun numbers, de- pending upon the clrcos acta for which they are to be nsed. Others are taught to carry a howdah and allow children to ride on their backs. Elephanta alwaya rre caught in the dry season, saya John T. Benson In Popular Mechanic Magazine. At that time their natural food Is the poorest and they have to tramp for mllea to get a good meal. As a result, they are in poor condition and have to be fed for weeks before they can stand their first sea voyage. Elephanta are subject to numerous ma. mrj require niucn nursing, out once they become aecllmated they will, with proper care, live to a great aga "Miss" Not Old Title Denmark's decision to abolish the equivalent or "Miss" and address all women, married or single, as "Mrs." recalls the comparatively recent origin of the distinction In feminine titles in England. Until the Seventeenth cen tury "Mistress" waa the correct form for all women, and the diminutive "Miss" date only from the time of Charles II. Contemporary evidence goes to show that the term was not intended to flatter, but rather to de note Hie Inferior status or the person who lacked a husband to provide her with the more dignified title. But It evidently supplied a want, and quick ly passed Into general use except among the purists. Lady Mary Wort ley Montague records that In her childhood dlgnlded old ladles refused "u'1 we would have been dl to use the vulgar new term, and ad- rl hT ,ime-' I dressed even little girls as "Mistress," Outcaiti of Parii Although pari baa a municipal reg ulation which expressly forbids per anus from sleeping under arches of the Seine bridges, there are 4,000 per sons making use of these shelters at . lodging houses.
