and careful training was brough: into
the WAYS of the circus trick-mule. The
occasion of all others was The initiating
of some country greenhorn into the
mysteries of the "show business" by
permitting him to ride the elephant.
When such youth was found and
brought in, he was placed on the back
of the animal with great ceremony, to

est surprise that the elephant should
act so, and would commiserate the

more spiteful and miiitious than baby.

but now it has gone and done one oil
the meanest things a baby ever did, and
came very near running me.
1t has been long time since mother
and Sue said they would never trust
me to take care OF the baby again, out
the other day they wanted awtully to
90 to a funeral. 1t was a funeral OF
one of their best friends. and there was
to be lots of flowers, and they expected
to see lots of people, and they said they
would try me once more. They were
going to be gone about two hours. and
| was to take care of the baby till they
came home again. Of course 1 said
would do my best, and so l did; only
when a boy tries to do his best he is
sure to get himself into trouble. How
many time and oft have l found this
to be true. All! this is indeed hard
and hollow world. The last thing Sue
said when she went out of the door
was, Now, be a good boy: if you play
any of your tricks I'll let YOU know"
