How 1t Came 10 HAHN Elephants Out in

Everybody in the smoking compart'
ment OF the sleeper had told a story eX-
cept one quiet, lnotFenslvo sort OF n man
in tho corner, and the drummer eyed
him with suspicion, as he finished what
he considered the corker OF tho entire
combination.
As the drummer concluded the quiet
man polied his head cautiously out Of
his shell and eoughed slightly, as men
do who have lain dormant awhile and
rouse themselves to %utteranGe.
II remember" he said, without
further preliminary, "a queer circum-
stance which happened to me during
a summer visit l made some yeors ago
in Kansas. ! am reminded Of it by the
story our friend here"-nodding to-
ward the drummer-"tclls OF n shower

some three or four OF US, noticing the
peculiar shape, color and movement Of
the clouds, when all at once, as true Ns
gospel, gentlemen, IN elephant, alive
aNd kicking, dropped right down in
front OF us out Of the sky, and u more
astonished looking brute | never saw"
Tho drummer sat spellbound and
everybody else choked up, speechless,
The quiet man looked around on his
auditors. .
"Its true as preaching, gentlemen"
he went on, ''and though as a rule In
Kansas it doesn't rain elephants, it did
on that OCCASION, and is accounted for
by tho fact that a cyclone had struck q
circus twenty miles to west OF us, and
furthermore it was raining lions and
| tigers and horses and hyeuas and mon-
keys and tent pins for n week after
ward, the biggest things OF course COM
ing down soonest"
"MIy dear sir" gasped the drummer,
as the quiet man was about to continue,
don't say another word. I travel for
a liquor house and il you want a barrel
OF cocktails give me your address and
I'll send tito you by the first cyclone
that passes our place."
