Tlllie, the belle of the Robinson ele phant herd, was feeling Indisposed. She gave It out good and strong and In unmistakable language at an early hour that It was "23“ for her Instead of a drill down town as" a parade at traction. The attendants were alarmed, fear ing that Tlllie had drank something that didn’t have the lid on. So Tim Buckley was routed out of his bed and hurried to the elephant quarters In an automobile, for Tim knows acme things about elephants that some oth er people dont’ know, Tim looked at Tlllie and the big animal turned a half-closed, languid optic at Buckley and twisted her trunk toward her Jaw and told him In plain I elephant language that the old molar I In her left upper Jaw was troubling her again. It was beating like a snare drum or *the heart of a boy on his way ti a John Robinson circus, sho said. So Tim ho had to get busy quick with his dental outilt that lookB like n blacksmith’s kit. lie tapped, scraped, drilled and did things to that elephant's tooth that^ a steel plllur would have resented, but Tlllie—proud and brave—she took tt like a girl accepting her engagement ring. For Tlllie wanted to head the Parade *lm m>w goiti in her teetn. And Tim he completed the Job In time after resorting to melting a part of his gold watch to meet the emer gency. Tlllie Is tho elephant who shows her teeth In Hie parade. All who aco tho procession will rccognlzo hor. At Popular Bluff, Ind., sho stole and ate the gold watch and walking bonnet o[ Mrs. Ella Goltz, a society lady of Portsmouth, Ohio, who was visiting in the Indiana town.

Paris, Oct. 31.—The Castellans dl vorce case was heard this afternoon before M. Henry Ditto, president of tho tribunal of first Instance of ,'Jie Seine. Neither the count nor the countess was present. In an extended review counsel de clared that the countess at the begin ning of the suit, was not acting undor Influence, but solely foi the purpose of ending forever the peril of the moral deflation of her household. He ex plained the marriage contract which tho separation of property was established from tho very beginning, and stated that domestic difficulties arose over the question of money.

On account of tho small number of cities which nro large enough to support a Y. W. C. A. In tho Southern States, Alabama and Georgia will hold n joint convention In Mont gomery. .

ON CIRCUS OAY Except Lunch Stands Will be Required to Pay a License, For several years It has been a cus tom or an oversight on tho part of tho officials to allow any ono who de sired to do so to run a stand on the streets on circus days for the purpose ot selling lunches, drinks (soft), candy, cigars, fruits and the like. Sev eral of the merchants have complained and raised an objection on the ground that the Itinerants sold a great deal on those days and did not pay any thing for the privileges, while they, who pay a regular city license, suffer from tho Itinerant business. Mayor Dorsey has decided to require a li cense on all stands operated next Monday, which is circus day, with the exception of strictly lunch stands, for every stand a license must be paid the city. It Is believed that those who patron ize the lunch stands would not pat ronize tho hotels or restaurants, as tho clement will be laigely ot the col ored population, and the standi would be a convenience for that class. The action ot the mayor wilt be endorsed by the merchants and at the same time bring a considerable amount Into the city's treasury. The . best treatment for Indigestion and troubles of the stomach Is to rest the stomach. It can be rested by n good dlgestunt.
