The gene rous people of Grand Rap
ids are earnestly invited to remember
the Woman's home and hospital when
making their Thanksgiving donat oas
to benevolent objects this week. We
believe q good work is being done in
girls. many of whom find in it a refuge
from temptation and hunger while
look ing for work; others find kind aud
tender care while sick, and many chill
aren find temporary shelter when left
friendless from various causes. Sup
thes may be sent to the home, 90 Bost-
kick etreet, and cast-otf donations to
the treasurer, Mrs. n. Ii. Coleman, No.
252 East Bridge street, or to Mrs. Emma

the dog-faced man. | went TO Sam
and bought the sacred white elephant
too. | found Jo-Jo up in Siberia.
There was no "fake" about him. lie
was just what he WAS claimed 10 be.
Jumbo was the biggest attraction finan-
cially that was ever brought here. He
paid for himself within four weeks after
he was brought TO New York. Whst
did he cost? Well, to tell the truth, ]
paid just $4,000 for him. BY the time
he got to New York he had cost about
$4,000. You see we had to prepare
three different ships for him. The
first time he wouldn't come after We
got him out of the garden. The second
time they served an injunction on US.
London had never cared anything IN
particular for hun until they found we
wanted him. The third time We got
him. You see IL cost q lot of money TO
prepare those vessels for him. Four
hundred steerage passengers had TO be
secured and the decks cut away SO we
could lower him down. Two of US
went after the white elephant.
We had n great deal of trouble
in getting that elephant.
We paid about $50 900 for him. but be-
fore he got 10 New York lie cost So. 600
1t was q mighty hard matter TO get him
out of the country. We had 10 take
him overland for 800 miles. All the
people were excited, and they did all
they could TO oppose US, thinking
there was something wrong. But thai
elephant came from the stables of the
King of Siam. White elephants are
only the common Indian elephant
They are kept IN the kings stables, in
rooms nicer than snythi hing here IN the
Morton. They are care fully groomed
and curried; their tusks are sand pap
| cred, and their toe nails are carefully
polished. All those excresencee and
all that crystalline matter that gather
on the skin OF ordinary elephants IL re-
| moved, leaving the skin ne soft as vel
vet and of pinkish white color. They
are simply the Indian elephant, care
fully bred and tended. Why everyone
of those $50 elephants in the stables Of
the King of Siam receives better care
than Allerton.
