Here is an elephant yarn, which the next
compiler of school reader can fix up for the
inevitable article on the sagacity of elephants.
The elephant in question plays the piano with
his trunk. One day new piano was bought
for it, but no sooner had the elephant touched

The poor beast could only point to the ivory
keys; they were made of the tusks of his
mother.

POLLY AND HER PRISONER.

A few years ago Sammie Hicks dressed
in blue aud went TO war.
He bad but short distance to 20, for
his regiment was camped so near bis
mothers house that she could plainly
hear the bugle sound that called him to
duty.
He had been with his company bat a
few hours when Polly Parrot, his old
friend and pet, few into camp, and light
cd upon bis shoulders.
Oh Polly, said Ssmmie, is 1t you2
Well, tell us, Polly what are your poll
tics?
HurrAh for old Abel shouted Polly.
The soldiers were greatly amused.
One after another would step mp snd re-
peat the question, Polly, what are your
politics? aud the answer was invariably
given. Hurrah for old Abel
1t is not strange that in short time
Polly became the pet OF the whole reg
iment. The soldiers were heard often to
say that her feathers should be blue in
stead of green, for sho was loyal to the
corps.
There was no soldier in the regiment
more attentive to military drill than Poi
ly. Perched upon high pole in the cen.
of the parade ground, sho would watch
with evident delight the whole proceed
ings.
But she soon ceased to be silent spec
totor, and became very troublesome by
taking 1t upon herself to issue orders.
This amused the sfoldierS but 1t greatly
provoked the officers.
But there came change In the quiet
camp. Soldiers in gray were becoming
their neighors, aud sending out their
scouts In all directions.
Ssmme was one day guarding one of
the out posts, when be was surprised and
wounded, and as the enemy thought, left
upon the ground TO die.
Not long after this, confederate Off
Ger was dashing past the place, and Pol
ly, who was perched upon the limb of
tree, screamed, Halt.
The officer stopped instantly, but hear
ing no more, was about TO proceed when
Polly bade him halt.
Again he stopped, and, after moment
asked, Who are you?
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, answered
his captor.
The officer put spurs into bis horse,
and rode away, saying some words that |
will not record.
