THEY ENJOYED THE JOKE.

The Elephants Appreciated . Good Thing
When They Saw 1t
A number OF years ago, in a book
which was called Leaves from the Life
OF a Special Correspondent" Mr.. O'Shea,
the author of the book, gave the follow.
ing description of an adventure he had
with herd of elephants. Said he: "a
young friend asked me once to show
him some elephants. and took him
along with me, having first borrowed
an apron and filed it with oranges.
This he was to carry whilst accompany.
ing me in the stable, but the moment
we reached the door the herd set up
such a trumpeting-they had scented
the fruit-that he dropped the apron
and its contents, and scuttled off like q
scared rabbit. There were eight ele-
plants, and when 1 picked up the
oranges found had twenty-five.
walked deliberately along the line Civ
ing one to each. When 1 got to the
extremity of the narrow stable turned,
and was about to begin the distribution
again, when suddenly reflected that
II elephant No. Z in the row saw me
give two oranges in succession to No.
he might imagine he was being cheated,
and give me smack with his trunk
that is where the elephant falls short
Of the human being-so l went to the
door and began at the beginning as
before. Thrice / went along the line,
and then l was in a fix. had one
orange left, and had to get back to the
door. Every elephant in the herd had
his greedy gaze focused on that orange.
1t was as much as my life was worth to
give it to any one of them. What was
to do? l held it up conspicuously,
coolly peeled it, and ate it myself. It
was most amusing TO notice the way
those elephants nudged each other and
shook their ponderous sides. They
thoroughly entered into the humor OF
the thing"
