amt noihin' what an elephant can't do"
Billy represents the attitude OF the whole
human race in regard to physical power
Grown men and women accept without
doubt the facts stated on circus bills concern
ing the acrobat and his fifty double son1er-
saults; the trapezist swinging by his great toe,
The man biting ten penny nails in two and
lot OF other things quite as wonderful.
When 1t comes to the power OF mind, how
differently its manifestations are regarded.
The majority of humanity either refutes

its practical benefits? Tell me of some OF
