LOCKHART'S FAMOUS ELEPHANT
ACTORS WITH RINGLING y
BROS. BIG CIRCUS. =

Lockhart's elephant comedians, which
will be seen with Ringing Brothers Cir
Gus when that famous big show exhibits
in Butte, Wednesday, June 2S, are UNI
doubtedly the most remarkably trained
troupe Of animal performers in the world.
L~ockhart's elephants ave been the most
pronounced sensation of Europe for sew
eral seasons, and the amount of money
p ID by the Ringing Brothers to bring
Til wonderful troupe of anilnals to
America would be sufficient to equip and
Indefinitely operate a dozen good-sized
circuses. These elephants the not simply
trained animals" They are veritable
animal actors, displaying as much good
sense and judgment, as great an appre-
citation of the humor Of their several roles
and as sincere a desire to please and en-
terrain the audience, as any human per-
former in the great exhibition. Probably
the most amusing comedy presented by
these elephant actors is one portraying
the arrest, trial, conviction and incara-
ton of an elephant for intoxication. The
spectacle of the clown elephant. rolling
from side to side, apparently in the spor-
tive stage of intoXication, is ludicrous in
the extreme. In the midst of his =revelry,
the policeman arrives, armed cap-a-pie
with a huge official helmet n ~jauntily

ing elephant attempts to escape, but the
policeman is too quick for him.. The Of
fender is seized by the ear, marched
away to the magistrates office, solemnly
tried and sentenced by an elephant judge
sitting in his judicial dignity upon his
judicial bench, and finally hurried away,
a condemned prisoner, to suffer durance
in the elephant jail. The Lockhart ele-
plants are, however, only one of three
troupes of elephant actors. They are an

TEA FANCIES.

Every m is glad that the 5 o'clock
tea table remains fashionable; and the
woman's exchanges. which are features
of the summer resorts, are showing some
dainty novelties for the delightful fad.
A fashion much in vogue this season is
to have the china, flowers, candle shades,
bon-bons and cakes all in the same color.
The delicate fluwer-scattered French
china lends itself admirably to this
scheme. For example, a violet and white
tea, table could be arranged most eff
fectively.
Some of the very latest French china is
deep violet in color, scattered W, tn white
viOlets. This same idea could be carried
out with any other flower.

for unstrung nerves.
The case is wrought in aluminium and
lined with bright silk. and the holder is
