The Second Merchants, Excursion.

The Union Pacific excursion Decem-

though 1t had been advertised but three
days 1t brought almost as great crowd
as the first one. There were 2l3 passen-

A QUEER BABY.

1t was on the big iron pier that juts
out into the ocean at Atlantic City that
| first saw her. She was certainly the
queerest baby that ever lived. Only
fourteen months old! Yet she weighs
eight hundred pounds, and is four feet
high. Bright little eyes twinkled at me
from between her ears, which lie clos @
to her head, even if they are as big as
dinner plates. Are you not interested in
such funny baby?
She has only been in America about
two months, so that she cannot speak our
language very correctly. But she talks
in her native dialect with the greatest
fuency. When first heard her. it made
me jump; for it was more like roar
than anything else. Now l am quite
sure that you want to know more of this
child with the dinner-plate ears and
voice like blaring trumpet.
If tell you one thing more about her,
you will certainly guess what she is be-
fore | have chance to ask you if you
give it up" Wherever she goes she
carries her trunk with her; and it is
round, fat, and three and half feet
long. Now you have surely guessed that
my "queer baby" is little elephant!
Her name is Pinta; and from the size of
her feet and trunk, the trainer told me
she would be very large animal in the
years to come.
There was time when Pinta lived
very happily with her parents in big
forest on the island of Ceylon. One day,
however. a party of English hunters
tried to capture the three. In the strug-
gle that followed the father was killed.
He was monster, with tusks nine feet
long. Pinta and her mother we're then

From the Chronicle, Chicago, Ill.,

Mr.. William Clement of Freeport, Hi

and represents the large Chicago house
of Reed, Walsh x LANCE. In his early
life Mr. Clement migrated to the breezy
west and became cowboy in Colorado.
After doing as much at cowpunching as
he desired, he turned his attention to
mining, the exposure from which and his
life on the plains undermined a once
strong constitution, and rheumatism, liver
and kidney trouble and dropsy made their
unweicOme appearance
The Hot Springs of Arkansas were
visited in the hope OF relief, but he was
disappointed, so he took up his residence
in Illinois, and obtained employment as "A

Perhaps you may think it very strange
that such young baby should go to
school. But Pinta's teacher. whom we
call trainer" spends many hours each
day teaching her new tricks and review
ing the old ones. She can ring bell,
take drink from a big tin bottle, and
wave a handkerchief or hat as we'll as
you could. Pinta takes up the bell by

When she wants drink, she picks up

mouth. After performing each trick.
that flexible little trunk very curiously
thrusts itself into every pocket in her
trainers coat, searching for the reward
that is always there. What do you
think she finds? Nothing but piece
of dry bread; bnt, from the contented
look in her eyes, you may know that
she is perfectly charmed with it.
All Pinta's lessons are taught through
kindness alone, and a reward for each
effort she makes is always at hand. 1
noticed that her trainer always spoke
gently, but very firmly, to her, just as il
Pinty were real child with very sensi-
tive feelings. He never strikes her fer
being naughty; but he keeps her wait
log for her reward until she shorts at
him in such beseeching way that he is
obliged to relent, in spite of himself.
This trainer has educated number of
elephants during his life, who have since
become quite famous. One was SID a
very fierce beast, who gave untold trou.
bic to those having charge of him after
he graduated. Baby Ruth" who is
now with Barnum's circus, is another of
his bright scholars.
In the way of food Pinta is very dain-
ty, eating only the cleanest kinds of oats
and hay. She is also very fond of boiled
rice. oatmeal, and bread OF the latter
she sometimee eats four loaves daily.
Her table manners are lesson to many,
for she never spills single drop or
crumb.
Pinta will be "baby" in size until
she is about five years old. At that age
elephants begins to grow. usually at the
rate of four inches a year. When the
animal is full grown. it is twenty five
years old.
Some elephants live to be hundred
though the average age is trife below
that. 1t depends largely on the life they
lead. elephants in captivity living much
longer than those roaming in their ma.
tive forests. This is largely due to the
regular life and good food given to cap
tive elephants, and their freedom from
all dangers of the hunt and attacks from
other wild beasts.-Ecchange
