The baby elephant which is lied u
in Sherwood's cellar, is badly in ned of
a trainer. Some people supposed it to

it was discovered to be of the elephant

would experience great relief.
The telephone is apparently fast be
coming a necessity in the city. - It cer

The childish sentiments which ap
peared in the red rag organ of last night,
as an effort to scourge the editors of the
Herald because they occasionally publish
facts which are stubborn things," and
because such fa?ts are hard for a two
faced man to swallow, are the sick efforts
of a child who deserves the whippings
he occasionally gets. The author of the
said "baby expressions," hns, in his efforts
to teach children, become childish him
self. Because an unworthy repro
bate is fortunate enough to fall
into a lucrative situation by pulling
the wool over people's eyes, he has not
:h; ri.-dit to take too much responsibility
ipon liia shoulders, and endeavor to
superintend th busings of the city nnd
its politics as well. V aiy tint a ni in
who is engaged a few hours in a week
to do work he does not half do, and in

Smallpox Scare.
Falls Citv, Neb., Feb. 21.
-A good
deal of excitement prevails
throughout
the southern part of the county and
across the line into Kansas over the re
port that smallpox was raging there.
The city council held a special meeting
yesterday, quarantining the three bridges
from the south, positively excluding
anyone from entering the city from that
part of the country. The doctors all
pronounce the disease smallpox in a very
bad form.
It is understood that Rulo has guarded
the approaches to that city from the
south, as the epidemic 19 raging among
the Indians on the reservation. No cases
have yet been reported in the city, nnd
by strict jurisdiction of the citv authori-
ties it i thought everything will be all
i right. The last report from the country.
some four miles south, 9tates that between
twenty and twenty-five persons are down
with the disease.

Have you any idea how many miles ci
dancing girl gets ocr in a single evening:
1 don't mean a more or less wall flower,
r ono who sits out her dances alono or
c.horwise but a real lover of waltzing,
j who dances everything from beginning
' to end, and looks almost as fresh at the
1?! .... i 1ljjtT
end ot tne evening as fcno uia at me ue
ginning. Tom who is very fond of hav
ing r.Il those sort of things at his fingers'
ends had l jarnt it all up. Some man
has been attending several dances with
a pedometer in iiis pocket, and ho finds
tlir.t tho average distance traversed dur
ing a:i evening of twenty-two dances is
thirteen and one-half miles! If any girl
of one's acquaintance was asked to go on
an equally long walk, she would just say
it was impossible; at least, I know I
bliould: but somehow, when ono has a
pleasant partner, good music and a good
floor in a well lighted room, one scarcely
steps to consider how much ground one
hr.s j-ct; over. The average length of one
wwliz is half a mile, while a polka is
lln-ee-quartcrs; and even tha lancers are
a quarter of a mile long. London Figaro.

What everybody don't know, however
i3 that tho representations of tho fourtl.
Pguro pn tho dial cf a timepieco are
never made as they should be, according
to the arithmetics, for instead of being
IV it is invariably written ITU. Just
wrhy this is done has never been reason
ably explained. Some watchmakers say
it is to avoid mixing up IV with V and
VI, and that i3 really the only reason
that I have ever heard. But nobody
seems to know, without looking at a
timepiece, how it is written, and I have
never yet met any one who did not,
when asked, write it IV instead of IIII,
and I never yet saw a timepiece on the
dial of wliich 4 o'clock was written IV.
