camea along i'm the towns in which IL

His knowledge OF human nature
taught him that while the white ele-

the masses would make 1t a point to go

plant offered for their inspection,
and their curiosity being satiated, they
would care nothing for subsequent
white elephants, or il they cared at all
they would be prompted to scOrn and
deride them, much as a minstrel joke

Barnum therefore was mt his wits

his desperation tried an experiment
which resulted SO disastrously that it
may be said tn have settled the white
elephant business. n half dozen re-
volver shots were fired outside the can
a close to where the elephant was
standing within. On examination
holes were found in the canvas, and
Forepaugh gave it out to the press and
public that Barnum's agents had tried
To murder the sacred animal. Detect
ives, however, satisfied themselves that
the firing was done by one of Fore
paugh's Own men. At n end of the
both managers concluded that
the war didn't pay and each season since
then they chose routes that would not
clash with each other. The term white

language.

1T CAN WAIT.

II is the plan of people who interest
themselves in the doings of 1892. to
honor the name of Queen Isabella. the
patroness of Columbus. with Il statue.
Gideon j. Tucker is opposed to il. Mr..
Tucker is IA wary student who has taken
pains to recite two OF three things that
are not to the credit of the famous
queen. 1t is charged that she usurped
throne of CASTLE. that lpr marriage
with Ferdinand Was "a cold blooded.
designing sort of an affair. that she
didn't do the right thing by the Moors,
that the world owes to her the inhuman-
ity and bigotry of the inquisition. and
that, instead of favOring Columbus with
the treatment he merited. she caused
him TO be kept in irons.
The average student knows that il is
pretty easy to sustain serious charges
against Spain's queen, yet she was
hardly more selfish than the average
enthroned woman and, for hat matter,
