Elephant Stories.
alking of elephant fables, the ami

Talking of elephant fables, the ami
NAL trainer said:
Take, for instance, the story Of the
man who stuck pin in the elephants
trunk and years afterward was DEL
uged with dirty water by the remem-
bering elephant. am surprised that
any one should take this yarn serious
ly. Why, the average thickness Of the
elephants hide runs from half an inch
to two inches deep. Now, imagine
pin going through that thickness on an
errand of pain. 1t would swallow
pin and break a needle.
The old fashioned elephant story
that has any real basis of truth is the
one that makes the big brute afraid Of
mouse. Experience in the winter
quarters of a show, where mice and
rats thrive, convinces one of this fact.
A mouse will make an entire herd
noisy with fright, and rat will put
them in condition of desperate fear.
An elephant may defend itself against
a lion, tiger or any other natural enc
my, but the, insignificant size Of a
mouse battles his conception of often
sive or defensive warfare. The mouse
is too quick to be crushed underfoot
or to be caught by his trunk, and it
can scamper over his rough hide with
impunity. The elephant realizes his
helplessness against such diminutive
foe and learns to fear it as he fears no
other animal. Buffalo Express.
