BESS AND RUDE.
The Strong Attachment of an Elephant for a Setter Dog.
"Nothing is more curious and interesting among the many strange things to be noted in and about a menagerie," and the veteran manager James M. Nixon to a New York reporter, "than the devoted affection that only demonstrate for dogs. The big pachyderm other attachments so strong and enduring, and the dogs seem to reciprocate the feeling."
“One of the best illustrations that I ever saw was the love between Bess and Rube. Bess was a female cloiphant that we had in the Barnum show in 1873-4, and Rube was a setter dog. Bess was never easy when Rube was out of her sight. Her keen little eyes would follow his every movement if he was frisking about, and if he disappeared she told him little scream that would bring him gallantly to cheer her in a burry. She never seemed so happy as he was lying on the hay in front of her her big trunk waving over him. One time Rube got sick. She took the best care of him that she knew how in her chicintine way. She made a buncheh of hay about a foot thick and large enough for him to be cooled upon and in some way made him understand that he should lie down upon it. Then she deflyted her big trunk around under the bunch of hay so as to take it up, and at a woman takes up a sock baby on a palpable surface she hold him and gently swiming him to a long long, rocking and bulling him to sleep. the morning he was well again, and Bess appeared as happy as a mother who had nursed her child through a smell of illness.
"While we were showing in Boston I happened to mention to a group of reporters one day the strong affection Bess showed for Rube. They evidently considered it a circy fairy story, and were not delighted at her warmly well." I said, "if any of you doubt it, just walk away from Bess a little distance and hurry slightly, enough to make him yelp." I hadn't any idea that they'd do it, and I didn't stop to think of where Bess might be, and whether she was chained or not. The fact was that she was at the time going through a rehearsal in the ring, loose, and Rube was sitting up on a folded carpet strolled out into the reporters left me and strolled out into the cameras. Pretty soon they edged around to where Rube was, and one of them gave his tail a twist, which the dog instantly remarked loudly. Boss, at the sound of his yelp, wheeled around into the ring, threw up her trunk with a shrill scream of rage, and started out for those reporters. They flow. There was no time for explanation, argument or dignified leisure; fifty employees who were standing about run stopped at Rube, and when she saw that he resurgently hurt she calmed right down, walked back to the ring and went on with the rehearsal.
"When we were going to Lowell from Boston, Rubie, who had a sore foot, was put in one of the baggage wagons and sent on ahead. When they came to start the elephants for the march Bess missed her pet and broke out is open rebellion. She stood up and ran into him, snorted, and tramped around in excitement not be driven. The other elephants began to share her excitement, and a man had to be sent on a swift horse after Rubie. The wagon he was on came back. The doors were thrown open so that Bess could see him. She went up to him, touched him gently till over with her trunk, blinked at her and then she sounded that sounded like the blowing off of her exhaust pip of a boiler, and then jogged along behind him contentedly all the way, the doors of the wagon being kept open."
The Travels of a Check.
Some weeks ago a prominent real estate dealer in Los Angeles handed a gentleman a check for $2,500 in a deal. The recipient of it having some little obligations outstanding as the result of too much boom quietly indorsed it and handed it to a creditor, and thus it started on its mission of time it turned into business. In due course of time it turned into the original drawer of it, with no less than the ten endorsements on the back. It had paid $37,500 in debts, made fifteen men happy and returned to its drawer.

Supt. Crocker has been digging "prospect holes" in the North room of the basement, to ascertain the depth to solid rock. This is done in order to make an estimate of the amount to be asked from the Legislature by the Board of regents for repairing the foundation of the main building. The south wing was "fixed up" last year. It is quite a difficult job to undermine the walls, and to put in a new foundation. The foundation is setting which threatens the safety of the building. Doubtless such engineers as the K. S. U. "sends out" would not have made such a blunder as the one made, when the massive structure was erected on a foundation not "built upon the rock."
Take the TIMES.
A FASHIONABLE BRIDE.
Take my cloak—and now fix my vail, Jenny!
How silly is cover one's face?
But then there's one comfort—it's lace. Well, what has been of these ushers?
I'll) freeze standing here in the lobby-
Why musts the organist play?
"Do you want to leave?"
If they've started at last—what a breeze! Stop. Paase they're not far enough—wait!
or in mute now—mose—so keep pal, Pal
I hope I look moist and straight
I hope I look moist and smooth
The church must be perfectly full-
Good gracious; now don't walk so fast. Pal=
The proprietor ruffs out.
Good grievances now on I walk so fast, PaI-
H. He don’t know how to respond.
The chance at last—mind the step, PaI—
I don't feel embattled at all.
'Not lawhily be joined together—
"now speak?" — as if any one would—
Oh, dear! now it's my turn to answer—
I think.
that is greater than it
How awkwardly Nelly Dane stood—
Nolly Dane was not.
I did not think about saying:
Oh, I know. I will be Paul.
I hope my position is grateful.
"Serve him, love, honor and keep him"
How sweetly he says it—I will.
"No, I don't. You have to stay."
Where's Pa? There, I knew he'd forget it.
When the time came to see me.
When the time came to g; ve me away—
1. Helen, take three—thee—chersh—
2. Helen, take three—thee—chersh—
Just like him—no—goodness, how heavy.
It's really an elegant thing.
Here, Maud, take my bouquet—don't drop it
I hope Chancel's not lost the rine:
It's a shame to kneel down in whitesatin-
and the flounce. Old rear face—but 1 must-
be a high neck.
And the fluence, real old face—but 1 must. I think they are a clean cushion. They are usually not too shiny. They're usually too soft.
I hope they have got a clean cushion,
They usually covered with dust.
All over—ah! thanks, now don't fuss, Pa-
must just throw back my val. Charley—there-
Oh, that you should take me with me
Without mushing up all my hair!
Your arm, Charley, there goes the organ-
Who'd think there would be such a crowd?
Oh, I mustn't look round. I'd forgotten-
See, Charley, who was it that bowed?
What he said to Harlene, with her husband,
'Aso she aawfully kisses me'
Most of all my things were imported,
And she had a home-made trousseau;
And there's Annie Wheeler—Kate Herman-
I didn't expect her at all-
If she's not in that same old blue satin
at the charity bar,
Is that woman your dad Parton-
And Emma, and Jo—all the girls;
I knew that they don't miss my wedding;
I hope they'll notice my pearls.
Is the carriage there?—give me my cloak,
Jane—
Don't get it all over my val-
No, you take the other seat, Charley,
I need all this for my trial.

The Literary Societies.
Last Friday evening a large number of students assembled at Orophelian Hall. The old members were struck with awe to see the dead resurrected to life, while Orophilian and Athenaeum in a joint program gave evidence of a new literary feeling. The program for the most part, hastily prepared was as follows: Essay, Mr. H. A. Smith; Extemporaneous speech W. T. Caywood; Reading, J. O. Worden; and debate upon the question.
Resolved, That the State munincap revenue should be raised by direct land tax."
With Reed and Worden on the affirmative; and Baer and Virtue on the negative. Both societies are to hold meetings in their respective halls one week from tonight. For programs, see bulletin boards.
The Astronomy class meets at 7:30 p.m. now, instead of at the usual time, and the students "peer out into space," and "gaze upon the myriads of unknown worlds," for a couple of hours every evening.
French candies made daily at the Delmonico.
The Political Science club meets today night in Professor J. H. Canfield's room. The program, as published in last week's issue, will be rendered.
Professor L. L. Dyche and V. L. Kel logg were out hunting last Saturday. They succeeded in obtaining a fine specimen of the Missouri wagtail or tilt-kill.
