Constable Levies on q Circus Animal

Settlement of Claim.

One of the performers of circus quit
at Anderson, Ind, the other day and
demanded his pay. There was some
trouble and he at once took steps to
attach Gypsy, the elephant. The pa
pers were issued and placed in the
hands of Constable Bravy, who levied
on the elephant and her trunk.
The show people brought out some
papers which contained reports of her
vicious character and her almost sue
cessful efforts to clean out several
towns, and announced that they guess
ed they would let the constable have
his elephant. She had just been put in
heavier chains, but the officer did not
feel safe even under those conditions.
The parade was not given and the
constable had possession of. the ele-
pbant. When the show people saw
that the officer would probably make
arrangements to keep her they pushed
the money out over the counter and
took the elephant back into the fold

This is an interesting clause in the
constitution of Vermont of 1893, to linn
it professional officeholders: 'As every
freeman, to preserve his independence,
If without a sufficient estate, ought to
have some profession, calling, trade or
farm, whereby he may honestly subsist,
there can be no necessity for nor use in
establishing offices of profit, the usual
effects of which are dependence and
servility unbecoming freemen, in the
possessors or expectants, and faction,
contention and discord among the peo-
pie. But if any man is cafled into pub
lie service to the prejudice of his private
affairs he has a right to reasonable
compensation; and whenever an office,
through increase of fees or otherwise,
becomes SO profitable as to occasion
many to apply for it, the profits ought
to be lessened by the Legislature" Chi
