At Thorn in West Preussen, just on the
Russian frontier. the attention Of certain
tourists was directed the other day to q
crowd OF people diligently deciphering an
official notice hanging in a conspicuous

to inquire what was up. and they discov-

In large letters drawn up in official form,
with all the necessary signatures, counter

form the head official became for the nonce
an auctioneer.
According to the regulations in force on
the Prussian state railways goods that are

attracted attention by the clever way
IN which he fed the elephant. He
gave j: 5Teau, biscuits, fruit and
sweets. A crowd collected, and very
soon became interested. One old lady
was particularly struck, not only with
the operations Of the elephant. but
with the audacity OF the gentleman
who was feeding it. The poor old
soul thought she would like to feed
the elephant. She went to a stall to
buy some buns. Alas, her purse had
vanished, and she came back to COM
plain to the police. AS luck would
have it, an Inspector who was on
duty, had observed the sharper. not
only playing with the elephant, but
playing with the old ladys pocket.
When the lover Of elephants walked
quietly away the inspector followed
and. moreover. requested him to make
call at the police station. where the

by her own wish that she was attended

daughter, and she was not a party to the
