Marrow Escape of the Elephant.

Marrow hbCspe Va thc LlcPbthts
There was fire at Coney Island lit
tie while ago, and the big elephant al
most burned up. His legs were scorched,
and his trunk had to be covered up with
rubber blankets to keep it from being
burned. While all this was going on
the big elephant stood stock still, and
only when the flames were put out did
he seem to heave sigh of relief. Through
all the excitement he remained motion
less.
Now this may seem very strange to
you. But the elephant is made of wood,
so you cannot expect him toshow great
deal of emotion. He is the big fellow
who stands upon the bench at Coney Is
land, inviting you to walk up inside of
his legs and his trunk and take view of
the island. His name is Jumbo, and his
age is just years. He has never grown
any since he was built, but he has chang
ed his coat every spring, when new paint
has been put upon him.
People out on the ocean who had nev-
er seen the wooden Jumbo were very
much alarmed when the fire swept across
Coney Island because they thought the
elephant was alive and that he would
burn up. But when they heard that he
was only made of wood, they enjoyed
the sight greatly New York Ledger.

covess. She then closed the shutters OF
one window--that nearest to the bed.
The shutters of the other window were
bowed. But Lena's mother thought that
there was no necessity for closing them.
The mother went down stairs and into
the yard to continue the washing About
10 minutes later Mrs. Shenstine heard a
little noise on the pavement near her,
but was so busy that she did not turn
around. A minute later she felt tug
at her skirts She looked, and there was
little Lena with frightened look.
"Mudder, fell out of the window" )"
was all that the child said.
Mrs. Shenstine was bewildered with
fright. She could scarcely believe it, but
one of the neighbors who happened to be
up stairs in her own home and had seen
the child fall, called to Mrs. Shenstine,
and little Lena's story was verified.
The two women examined the child,
but found only bruise on the fleshy part
of the body. Mrs. Shenstine sent for DR..
Beatty, rs the child began crying. The
physician could find no bones broken,
but advised the mother to send Lena to
st. Mary's hospital, which was done.
At the hospital last night one of the
physicians said that Lena would recover,
as she was only suffering from the shock.
The child was prattling all day yesterday
about her mishap.-Philadelphia Press.
