An Elephant Picks a Young

went over to see Queens great show
and have nice time. A young Ia
dy from across the Jersey took her
suitor and an opera-glass. The
young lady says she thought the
performance real romantic until she
stopped to see the elephant.
She wore one of those pockets be.

kerchief, she had deposited an an.
pie, handful af peanuts, quarter
OF a pound of gumdrops, little
bottle of ammonia, and some other
TRIES. She aud her swain. after
admiring the complexion of the huge
beast, turned their backs upon him
to watch the monkeys and the live
kangaroo, and gaze into each others
eyes; to do this the better they
leaned back against the rope which
inclosed the stately monarch, who
saw the apple protruding from the
pocket Of the unconscious fair one.
