GRATEFUL ELEPHANT.
She Hugged the Chemist Who Had
Once Cured Her Pain.


Once Cured Her Pain.
1t is common sight to see Jolly al
most any day walking sedately about
the crowded hall with eight and nine
merry children on his back. He ap-
pears to enjoy the sport as much as the
little folks, for his eyes twinkle glee-
fully, says the Boston Journal.
In talking about the intelligence and
remarkable memories of elephants Mr..
Bostock (who was Jolly's trainer and
has been trainer and exhibitor of ami
mails all his life) said: "The elephant
is the most intelligent of animals ever
had anything to do with. They are the
easiest to train, the most good-tem-
pered and interesting of all.
Speaking of the memories for per-
sons and events that elephants have, |
would like to- tell you an instance that
came under my own eyes some years
ago when was in England. My father
was the manager of show, but he hay-
ing died my mother was in charge. We
had several elephants, and one of them
was of unusual size. He was within
three or four inches as tall as Jumbo,
and a trifle heavier.
'In the rural places where we were
exhibiting at the time it was the Gus
tom of the people to have large baskets
CT apples placed by the side of the road
after they had been picked from the
trees. This particular day our show
was passing along street and the ele-
plants all ate of apples.
"Not long after the big elephant was
taken very i'll. He lay down on the
ground and was apparently unable to
get up. We did not know whether he
had been poisoned or not. Finally a
chemist was called and he gave the ele-
phant some physic.
at did not appear to do much good.
For hours the animal lay on the ground
and the chemist kept giving him medi-
cine. Bystanders jeered at the man for
his apparently unsuccessful efforts.
Finally, however, the elephant began to
revive, and at last stood up on his feet.

visit the same town again. The big ele-
lphant was drawing a chariot with two
others in the lead, tandem fashion. We
were passing along the street when the
elephant suddenly paused and walked
up to a man standing on the sidewalk.
She placed her trunk around the waist
OF the man, lifted him up in the air and
drew him to her. She began to caress
him, purring loudly all the while.
"Come to find out this was the chemist
who had cured the animal Of her sick
ness seven years before. The man re-
| membered the elephant and the ele.
,Ephant remembered the man. At the per
'fformancc which we gave the chemist

"When the time came for theibig ele-
: phant to appear she-walked right over
to the chemist and raised him from the
ground and hugged him so close that il
was uncomfortable. But we could moi
release him until the elephant was
ready. The, elephant purred like cal
