The keeper of the elks lost the most, essential portions of. his trousers. ' The elk lost his life in the melee by breaking his neck. " Hence the keeper, who is a just man, feels that things are about even and holds no ill will toward the deceased animal. It all came to pass one morning at ' Lincoln Park. The park commissioners having on hand a supply of bufialo and elks larger than was needful for the en- tertainment of visitors had made favor- able terms with the proprietor of a wild beast show. The Wild West man, who wore his hair long and hinted that he had hunted buffalo on the plains with the Grand Duke Alexis, was to take two buffalo bulls of the Lincoln Park breed. paying therefore $400 each. The elks he Was to get for $100 each. Keeper De Vry prepared to cage the animals for shipment to Philadelphia, where the Wild West show is getting wilder every day in' anticipation of the summer’s tour. The buifalo bulls were quiet and docile. They walked into the traveling cages with no undue or unexpected manifesta- tions with their hoofs or horns. The elk cow, too, showed a lady like and tractable spirit and entered her travel- ing cage with a certain dignity resulting from long residence on the North side. But with the buck elk, which is a scientific term and implies many at- tributes, it was different. He pawed the air wildly after being lassoed, and when finally choked into submission dis- played a sulkiness of disposition which cut the keeper to the heart. When the entrance of the “shifting cage” was reached the innate viciousness of the elk’s nature, long dormant by the genial influences of North side culture, awoke in all its savagery. Opening wide his mouth and display- ing a double row of wicked teeth, he gathered the keeper by the slack of his trousers and shook him with a ”'yigor worthy of a better cause. He slammed the tired German against either side oi the cage, ate heartily of his trousers and rested only when he had removed the best portion of them. The keeper crawled out of the shifting cage, and told the elk that if the prospect of going to Philadelphia afected him that way he had better not go. The elk, moved to a greater frenzy by these remarks, continued to trash about the cage, and in a final paroxysm of rage and wounded vanity drove his head against the heavy timbers at the far end of the narrow compartment. There the matter ended, for the elk, with a. sharp agonized cry so very human like as to make the spectators shiver, sank to his knees, dead. Keeper De Vry refused to believe that the elk committed suicide when it saw that it was doomed to go to Philadel- phia—Chicago Times-Herald. : THE TRINIDAD COOLIES. A Species of_Slavery Existing in a British V Colony. Notwithstanding British criticism of the manner in which the colored people of the South are treated by the whites, there are some things about the treat- ment Of the free labor problem in the British island colony of Trinidad that seem curiously mediaeval in principle. Soon after the ,negroes of Trinidad were freed, now more than sixty years ago, the planters, upon the plea, doubt- less just enough, that the freedmen would not work, obtained from the Government special legislation provid- ing for the importation of East Indian coolie laborers. When the importations of coolies began negroes were demand- ing from 60 cents to $1.25 a day, accord- ing to the work they were employed to do. The law authorizing the importa- tion of coolies provided that they should contract to remain with their employers for a term of years, working for 25 cents a day, and that they should meanwhile have medical attendance and be returned free of charge to their homes. A special export tax on the products of the planta- tions was, laid to pay for the transporta- tion of the coolies between India. and Trinidad. The importation of the coolies has been going on ever" since that time, until now from that source and from natural increase there are'60,,000 coolies in a population of 200,000. 'The white population is small; s'O‘that by far the larger part of the inhabitants are negroes and coolies. The former, in competition . with contract labor at 25 cents a day, earn from 45 to 60 cents a day. N egro, mechanics earn as high as $1 a day. The negroes are a stronger race than the coolies, and the heavier work still falls upon them. They are the mechanics of the island. Mistaken Identity. “Have your hair cut?" asked the bath ber, as he worked away at the lather. “Does it need cutting?” replied the man in the chair. “Very much. lest?” “Yesterday afternoon.” “I thought it hadn’t been cut lately. Where was it cut?” ’ "“Here in your shop.” “Yes, it does look like one of our cuts. What chair was it?” “Yours.” “Ah! yes. I think I do remember you. Yes, I think I cut your hair about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Excuse me, please. I took you for a man who had When was it cut ' his hair out in some other shop last fall!” —‘—Detroit Free Press.

Careful study of the accompanying diagram of a prime steer as it reaches the wholesale butcher from either of the local establishments Of the Chicago “Big Three,” or their New York allies, will clear up many statements that have been published since the cattle combine put the screws on and made beef dearer. “Such beef as I handle,” said a dealer, “will weigh 800 pounds, that is two sides will weigh 400 pounds each. This is dressed beef, all of which is cut up and sold. There is no waste. The fat and bones are sold. Such extras as you see on the butchers’ stalls as brains, tongues, liver, tripe, oxtails, etc., do not come to us as dressed beef. These are special lines handled by special men. “There is a. steer,” and the dealer pointed through the glass door of a re- frigerator, “that weighed 800 pounds when laid on these scales to-day. I paid 9 cents a pound for it. Don’t believe these 11 and 12 cents stories, for they are not true. It cost me $72 at the ware- house. I hauled it here, must pay my men to cut it up and deliver it and all What will I get for what cost me that. $72? Just $75.26. “A steer goes into an abbatoir on the hoof and every ounce of him goes out a commercial commodity. A 1,200 pound steer will net 800 pounds of beef. The hide is sold to the tanners. A limited number of tails go to dealers in ox tails and .special dealers buy the tongues, which are sold to delicatessens here, and in Chicago go to the canners of ‘lunch tongues.’ There isa limited demand for brains. All livers find a ready sale, and the lining of the paunch, known as tripe, is growing in such favor that it is all disposed of to dealers who pickle it. “From the pure fat is extracted the highest quality of oleo Oil. This is gen- erally exported to Holland, where it enters into the make up of the gilt edged Dutch butter that commands fancy prices in England. From other fats come the lower. grades of, oleo oil. From selected bones are secured, by boiling, gelatine, which is the basis of all cheap jellies and marmalades. Stearine, used as‘a. base of chewing gum and for many other purposes, is the product left from the process of pressing out oleo oil. “All hoofs are boiled, and the valuable commodity known as neat's foot Oil is secured. The horns are sold to manu- facturers of combs and fancy goods. The hoofs after boiling are also used in the making of horn ornaments. Every- thing that Is left, blood, entrails, etc., is made into fertilizing material, not the least valuable commodity turned out of the abbatoir. I have no positive figures, but I believe that the 4.00 pounds of ‘oflfal,’ the term used as applying :to everything except the actual beef, will net the killer from $20 to $22. The wholesale slaughterer does not get any of the worst of it at any stage of the game.” 68 EX-BANKERS IN ONE JAIL. Remarkable Colony of Prisoners in Kings County Penitentiary. ‘ Former bank Officers to the number of sixty-eight, 3311 serving sentences in one penitentiary! That is the remarkable fact which will appear in the forthcom- ing report of Warden Hayes, of the Kings County Penitentiary. To be more explicit, there are now within the cold gray and black Walls of that institution seven men who, when arrested for embezzlement of depositors funds, were presidents of national banks; twelve men who, when rounded up in a career of crime by the strong arm of the law, were honored and re- spected cashiers of national banks, and forty-nine other men who were trusted clerks or tellers in banks of the same class. ‘ The Kings County Penitentiary is one of the five penal institutions in the country which, under contract with the general government, keep in confinement all prisoners convicted of felonies by United States courts. The other prisons that board Uncle Sam’s lawbreakers are, that at Albany, the Erie County Peni- tentiary, near Buffalo; the House of Correction, at Detroit, and the most impregnable prison in the world, the Minnesota State Penitentiary, at Still- water, Minn. The percentage of former bank officials at Albany, Erie, Detroit and Stillwater will average the same as at the Kings County institution. The total number is equally divided between the five prisons. There- are at present 405 “boarders” at Kings, .of whom sixty- eight are from banks. The total num- ber of bank defaulters, embezzlers and wreckers formerly connected with na- tional banks alone will, therefore, ap- proximate 340, or about one-sixth of the total number of Federal prisoners in con- finement for felonies. “Yes,” said the warden, “I could fit a bank out with a president and a full force down to, but not including, the janitor. It is a remarkable fact, which I have verified by looking over .the records, that although there have ‘been’ confined in this prison since it began to receive United States prisoners, tWelve- or fifteen years ago, a total of 130 bank, officers and clerks, we have never as yet had a janitor or watchman or runaway messenger.” -‘ ' Good people shine from afar, like snowy mountains; bad people are not seen, like arrows shot by night.
