"Jumbo, the giant elephant of the Stosch-Parasani Circus in Berlin, has
been killed for food, telegraphs the Amsterdam correspondent of The Daily

If this statement had not come from Amsterdam we should have found some
difficulty in believing it.

"At a meeting of the King George High School, Kasauli: 'Resolved, that the
school be closed for to-day to commemorate the recapture of Kut, for which
permission has been so kindly accorded by Pundit Hari Das Sahib, M.A.'"--

We are all, General MAUDE included, very much obliged to the Pundit.
