Had Seen No Defect.
An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose of an old elephant and took it to
a fair. As soon as he had arrived he
noticed a man who without saying a
word began to walk around the ani
mal examining It attentively on all
sides. The merchant became very
anxious for he feared the man had
found out that his elephant was not
worth much. He took him aside and
whispered In his ear: "I seo a cus
tomer coming. Do not say a word un
til I have sold the beast and I will
giye you 50 rupees." The man looked
at tho merchant and wonderlngly com
plied with his request. It happened
that the customer had more money
than sense so that he was easily taken
In. Viien the bargain was completed
and the elephant led away by its new
owner the merchant handed tho GO
rupees to the silent man saying:
"2iQvr I want you to tell me how you
discovered the defect in his left leg.
I thought I had concealed It so skill
fully. "I have discovered nothing"
replied the stranger. "It is the fir
elephant I have ever seen and I wan
ed to know which was the. head and
which was tho tall."
Remember we.will deliver your goods.

Dogs In Snowland.
The lot of an Eskimo dog Is a hard
one. In the first place ho has to earn
his living by drawing sledges. In the
next place food Is to scarce that a dos
is usually hungry often hungry enough
to eat his harness or. Indeed any bits
of skin or leather he can And. To pro-
vent tills th" men rub the leather cord?
with tar.
But In order to live at all an Eskimo
dog has to fight his way. Whenever
there Is a pack of dogs together they
fight. The weak ones are driven awav
or killed. The strongest and fiercest
one who can thrash any or all of the
others Is known as the king dog. He
has the best place to lie and his choice
of the food. A single growl from him
Is Ilk a command from an emperor.
wnom all are ready to obey.
