Couldn't Tip Off the Elephant.

Guessing the weight Of an elephant,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch, is not an
easy task by any means. A party of a
dozen or more persons visited the Central
Park Zoo and each made a guess as to
the weight of one OF the largest pachy-
derins. The guesses ranged from 1000
to 100000 pounds. The keeper decided
the contest by stating that the actual
weight Of the elephant was 0,947 pounds.
Not one of tile contestants had come
within 900 pounds of the animal s actual
weight.

When Senator Sherman was in Canton

THE REASONS.

1t is interesting, as we go along, to
note the reasons given by the "reform"
organ for the election of its alder
manic ticket.
Mr.. M. Isaac was "president of the
board of education"-and therefore
would make good alderman.
Mr.. H. S. McCrary has "made a
success of his own business"-and
therefore would make a good alder
man.
Mr.. Il. s. Lee can 'tdeal success
fully with hardware"-and therefore
would make a good alderman.
DIR. F. Joerger "dispenses good
drugs"-and therefore would make a
good alderman.
The gentlemen who have consented
to make themselves the standard
bearers of hopeless cause should, at
least, secure a journalists advocate
who can think up some more conVinc-
ing arguments in their favor than
those advanced by the Sun.
