the expulsion from Denmark of any

A baby elephant when he stands up
for the first time is so clumsy in all
his movements that to watch him is a
circus in itself, He cannot seem to
understand what his legs are made
" for, he stembtes over them, steps on
his trunk, falls down; 81 takes quite a
few hours -before he begins to realize
- that his trdnk is made to pick things
up and that his feet are to stand en

INHERITED MILITARY TALENT.
Illustrating the Fact That Fighting
Runs in Families.
The present war has called attention
to the fact that fighting seems to run
in families. There axe several con-
spicuous instances in which the sons
or grandsons of famous soldiers have
lived up to the brilliant records of
their forbears.

Peninsula with Wellington, and when
the Sikhs were enemies of England it
1155 a Gough who overthrew them. He
was the present general's grandfather.
In addition, the general's own father
won the Victoria Cross in the Indian
Mutiny and was with Roberts in Af-
ghanistan, It is not surprising, then,.
that the present general is known as
one of the most prominent cavalry
leaders in the British army. He play-
ed
lay
ed a great part in the battle of the
Somme and again in the battle of Ar-
ras.
With Gen. Cadorna, the former Ital-
ian commander in chief, the taking of
Trieste is a hereditary task. He comes
''of a famous military family, for his
father, Count Raphael Cadorna,
fought in the Piedmontese army
alongside the British and the French
in the Crimea. In the war of 1866
against Austria he commanded the
army corps that advanced on Trieste;
but hie forward march was stopped by
an armistice after he had reached
Versa in the Friuli, where he put the
advance guard of the enemy to flight,
Peace was signed on the banks of the
Isonzo at the foot of the Carso Pla-
teau, which is now the scene of his
son's exploits.
It is on record that one day the pre-
sent Cadorna placed his finger' on a
position marked on his map and said:
"That is where my father got to."
Then, movitlg his finger to Trieste, he
added, "And that is where I have to
