Hannibal was an original ernaucpations!.. II 1875
he carried an emancipation proclamation (in his trunk

nicely for while, Hannibal made dive. ...
His keeper who was in small boat stopped Tos

waiting reasonable time without the elephant putting

the snake business may be oTerdone and the qsrAfs

The lot above quoted was sent in By South Jersay
