SAW THE ELDPHLNT.-Our little scrub
Eddie, has very enquiring turn Of mind.
He likes to see the inside of things, and du-
ring his visit 10 Columbia last week, his Gu
riosity developed itself in variety Of ways.
lie saw lots of things novel and strange, and
put his fingers into sundry places where they
had no business. In most cases he did not
have TO pay much for his investigations, but
he did nor get off altogether scott free
Sometimes the penalty followed, and the
fates proved unpropitions to Master Eddie.
One Of these misllups occurred in front OF
| the McsSrs. SwafIirld's store, and was caused
by water plng, 10 which hose pipe had
! but f:'w moments before been attached, TO
water the streets. Eddic's keen eye noticed
the plug; it was leaking, the cap not being
screwed on tightly. Eddie turned tit
worked splendid; turned again, and again
! it was held by the last thread, and the water
was flowing freely. He had almost got to
One more turn and away few the cap, and
over our poor boy gushed the water, soaking
| him 10 the very skin. Eddie cried; whether
at the disappointment in not after all seeing
where the water came from, or on account Of
the drcnching, we could not find out. He
was satisfied, however, 10 move on, he had
seen the elephant anyhow. The mishap
cost him a wctring, and his daddy the price
OF new suit of clothes, fortunately found in
the store Of Childs & Why.
\ perfect fit in shirt is luxury which
all gentlemen appreciate. McsSrS. Mcfall
