Origin OF ..seeing the ELEPHANT

Some years since, at one of the Philadel-
phis theatres, a pageant was in rehearsal in
which II was necessary 10 have an elephant.
No elephant was to be had. The wild beasts
were all travelling, and the property man,
stage director, and manager, almost had fits
when they thought of it. Days passed in the
hopeless task OF trying TO secure one but at last
yankee ingenuity triumphed, as indeed it al
ways does, and sn elephant was made to order
of wood, skins, paint and yalnish. Thus far
the matter was all very we'll but as they had
found no means 10 make said combinations
travel. Hear again the genius OF the stage man
ager, director, and the property man stuck out
and two brothers" were duly installed as legs.
Ned c., one of the true and genuine ''b'hoys
held the station of fore legs, and for several
nights he played that heavy part TO the entire
satisfaction of the manager and the delight of
the audience.
The part. however was a very tedious one,
as the elephant was obliged TO be on the stage
about an hour, and Ned was two fonl of the
bottle to remain SO long without "wet.ing his
WHISTLE so he set wits to work to find way
to carry a wee drop with him. The
eyes of the elephant being made of
two porter bottles, with the necks In, Ned
conceived the brilliant idea of filing them
with good stuff. This he fully carried out
and elated with success he willingly under
TOOK 10 play Iofe-iegs again.
Night came on-the theatre was densel y
crowded with denizens OF the Quaker city
the music was played in the sweetest strains
the curtain rose and the play began. Ned and
the "hnd-legs', marched upon the stage. The
elephant was greeted with round upon round
Of ofapplause. The decorations and the trap
pings were gorgeous The elephant and the
prince seated on his back were loudly cheered
The play proceeded; the elephant was
marched round and round upon the stage
The fore-legs got dry, withdrew one of the
corks and treated the hind legs, and drank
