Elephant Breaks Up Hindu Prayer Bombay. — Several persons were trampled upon amd seriously injured recently when a young male elephant ran amuck for half an hour at Allaha- bad during the Kumbh Mela religious festival. Two million pilgrims were packed along the wayside reciting prayers while a procession including nine ele- phants was returning from the river bank with all the customary pagean- try of gorgeous banners, musical bands, naked attendants, and the gold and silver palanquins borne on the shoulders of the men, generally asso- ciated with religious festivals here, when the young elephant, apparently peeved at the slow progress of the procession, made a sudden rush at a female elephant immediately in front and gored it savagely. The suddenness of the attack re- sulted in the driver and passenger be- ing flung off the attacked animal, which trumpeted shrilly with rage and pain. The crazed attacker then turned its attention to the other beasts, trumpeted, threw out its hind legs, and finally unseated its rider. Moving in circles isn't the way to get ahead, even though you may move in the very best circles. | Report Another “Flying Dutchman” Buenos Aires.—Another ‘mystery ship” of the seas, missing for 14 amonths, has again been sighted.

When last heard of the Kobenhavn sailed from La Plata, Argentina, for 0-0-000000000000000000000000 RAIN By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. It is raining as I write this—a gen- tle rain that sinks into the ground and disappears as it falls. Nothing else is so restful as a rain; noth- ing so quieting to the nerves. I should not like to live in a place where 1t does not rain regularly. I have just been reading an arti- cle in praise of the climate of California. “Picture to yourself,” it says, “what a difference is made in your habits, your moods, your whole adjustment to life, when you know that for at least four months of the year—June to October—no rain will fall.” I have the picture. Dust in the alr, hillsides brown and sear; vegetation everywhere drying up excepting as some one stands with a hose In his hands and sprinkles the lawn and the flower beds. A hot sun beating down upon one and no hope of rain for four months to cool off the at- mosphere; grass, and shrubs, and flowers burned brown and dead ex- cepting where some faithful hand gives them regular attention! A dry wind blowing the yellow dust into one’s eyes! It makes no appeal to me. I like variety; I like the soft mist against my face; I like to hear the drops beating upon the roof or against the window panes; [ thor- oughly enjoy rain, and some way, in spite of the absence of rubbers and rain coats and umbrellas, I seldom seem to get wet. Nothing artificial can ever refresh the vegetable world as a good rain does. The air smells better, tastes better, and seems to penetrate more Australia, on December 14, 1928. Six- ty naval cadets were aboard, including scions of some of Denmark's most prominent families. Several staff of- ficers of the Danish navy were also aboard. deeply into the lungs after a rain. I can work with more enthusiasm, with more concentration and with more energy during a rain. When the rain is falling outside it gives opportunity to finish the uncompleted task; to set- tle down to something that has been waiting for attention for days or weeks. When I was a boy on the farm a rainy day was a period to be looked forward to. Before the hard work of farm life had fastened itself upon me, a rainy day was a play day. We cut all sorts of-eapers in the hay loft as the rain pattered down upon the roof above us; or we went fish- ing. It was thought that the fish would bite more ravenously upon a rainy day. It may have been, but any- way it was rare sport to sit upon the bank of the creek all huddled up and watch the corks on our fishing lines bobbing up and down. I have always liked to read, and as I look back upon the years that have passed it seems to me that much of the reading that I have done since the time I was ten years old has been done while the rain was coming down outside and other tasks for the time being set aside. No! I like sunshine and I take pleasure in clear weather, but I don’t want to live where it doesn’t rain. Absence of rain would take away half the pleasure of life.

In the belief that an elephant ean be subdued in even its wildest mood if a camel bites its ear, some venture- some spirits drove a camel toward the beast, which in" consequence dashed off and plunged at great speed into the crowd, scattering them right and left, Panic immediately followed, and men, women and children screamed and fought madly in their efforts to escape from the path of the infuriated animal, Luckily, the courage and resource of Captain Niblett, a magistrate, and Mr. Cole, a police officer, saved what would undoubtedly have been a much worse disaster, Captain Niblett procured two tame elephants and set out to capture the escaped beast, which was now racing rapidly toward the river, while Cole galloped ahead on horseback, warning the crowd. The huge four-footed pachyderm plunged pell-mell through an encamp- ment of pilgrims by the river bank and crashed through a number of low huts constructed of thatch and bam- boo, which gave way before the mon- ster like match boxes. Inside almost every hut fires were left burning, and in consequence the wretched dwellings quickly became a series of blazing bonfires.

Too tired to go out—and he— was he becoming tired of her? It was at this point that Miss Margaret Belden of Los Angeles woke up to the fact that some- thing had to be done about it. “Men want pals, not patients” she writes. “I went right to my doctor. Do you know what he said? Rest—and Nujol! “With a prayer in my heart and Nujol in my medicine cabinet I began to fight back to being the healthy, robust, happy girl I had been before.
