less than peck OF nuts to them.
When the keeper interfered to
save the lives of his charges, Bad
medicine threw, his hand on his
pisto! pocket, and the fellow
slipped. Then Bob Paydrawer
was called in, aud he succeeded in
coaxing Sandy off, on the pre-
tence of looking at something |
else. Finally Sandy tackled the
big elephant, and fed him several
apples A lot Of people we're
