THE LEARNED ELEPHANT. - " That's a wery
knowin' hanimal of your's," said a Cockney gentleman to
the keeper of an elephant. " Very," was the cool rejoinder.
" He performs strange tricks and hantics, does he?" in-
quired the Cockney, eyeing the animal through his glass.
" Surprisin'," retorted the keeper, " we've learned him to
put money in that box you see up there. Try him with a
dollar." The Cockney handed the elephant a dollar, and,
sure enough, he took it in his trunk and placed it in a box,
high out of reach. " Well, that is wery hextraordinary—
hastonishing, truly !" said the green one, opening his eyes.
". Now, let's see him take it out, and 'and it back." "We
never learns him that trick," retorted the keeper, with a
roguish leer; and then turned away to stir up the monkeys,
and punch the hyenas. .
