That sor aald the farmer, turn-

"I've been sleeping In your barn for
ten da.va and I'm getting tired of It."

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

'Elephants Must Be

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

"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,"

Although pari baa a municipal reg
ulation which expressly forbids per

the Seine bridges, there are 4,000 per
sons making use of these shelters at

some plain tramps. The Saltation
