There are sixJy-six thousand loco

you have waited for train at some desc :
late way station for 1--WE hours, you would
swear that there was but one. and that
that had gone the other way.

"ast words" of men. but never those Of
women. Tpe latter would take MP too

ESSAY ON THE ELEPHANT.

The elephant is the biggest animal
that walks. He is as big as whole
barnyard full of cows all rolled into one.
He has fore legs in front and two hind
legs, which my uncle John says makes
six legs. but the elephant that I saw at
the circus hadn't as many, and guess
he lost some of them foolin' around a
moving machine. Ills legs look like
saw.logs standing on end, aud his feet
are ms big as wash tubs. He has two
tails, one at the front end OF him, aud
one at the hind end. The front eud is
called trunk. but l don't know what
they call it that for. 1t don't look any
more like n trunk than like carpet-bag
lbe hiud end tail is little thing, not
much bigger than a dogs tail. think
both tails was one in the first place. and
that it stuck way out behind zig enough
for such big animal, aud then l s'pOse
that it was hit by pile-driver or some
thing aud drove clean through so that
the but. stsck out in front. Thats.why
they call the front part the trunk, cause
the t.unk is next to the root-anyhow
that's SO with the trees. The elephant
has two ears hung on the side Of his
head. They lock like barn doors. They
are very useful for to keep the flies of
in summer time. 'eause his tail is too
short for flies. guess he uses them for
blankets to keep him warm when the
weather is cold. The elephant has a
wonderful memory. My Uncle John
says there was a man once that gave q
elephant tobacco in circus. Next yesi
the show came to that town again. with
the same elephant, and the man went tc
the show Again aud the elephant nearly
killed him. He recognized the man
Uncle John says, though the man haC
been married more than six months. Ant
that's all know about elephants.
