WHY HE QUIT THE CIRCUS.
The Elephant Fan Away with the
clown and the Latter Returns
10 Chicago.

An attenuated pair of legs were wrap
ped around a stool in the lunch-room OF
the Northwestern railway depot one day
last week. They supported trunkless
chest, collarless neck, q pale, clean
shaven face, and well-worn white Derby
hat.
''Just come back from circusing in the
southwest" said the man on the stool to
the waiter behind the counter. "Been
gone sixteen weeks and have had lively
time. was the only clown. Don't look
it now, do L? But l was all the same,
and pretty good one too. Circus busted
up at Calabasas, town on the Mexican
frontier. 1t happened this way: 1t was
OF Tuesday in August that we were an
nounced to show in Calabasas. We
reached the outskirts of the place Mon
day evening and camped for the night.
Next morning we made our grand entree
into town. / was riding the elephant
little brute with hair on his back and a
tail about the size OF a slate pencil 1t
was difficult, not to say dangerous, ride,
but had accomplished the feat on sew
eral previous occasions, and so didn't
mind it much. Calabasas was full of
cowboys on this particular day, and as me
and the elephant came numbering along
down the only street in the town there
was great shouting and swinging of
sombreros. The glittering calvalcade
neared the crowds with unbroken col
umn. ! noticed that nearly the entire
population was armed, and 1 think the
elephant did, too, for the beast began to
shiver from tusk to slate pencil and
reared up on his hind legs. 1t was about
this time that some one fired a shot.
There was violent shaking OF the ton of
muscle and adipose tissue beneath me,
and then the elephant fled up the street
at railroad speed. tell you, sir, it was
ride for life. / chung to the bristles on
the animals back with tenacity born OF
despair, and tried to kick out a niche in
the elephants hide into which l could
rest my feet. On and on we flew, through
cactus plants and sage brush until l lost
consciousness and fell to the ground in a
heap. Three days later band of Apache
scouts found me in pitiable condition
and gave me succor. When / reached
Calabasas / learned that the circus had
entered Old Mexico, and, as was sort of
tired of the business, begged, stole and
borrowed my way to Chicago. What be-
came of the elephant? Bless my soul!
l guess the old brute is still racing some
where around the plains. "-Chicago
