Another Memorial Day. May 30, invites

of rarest and most beautiful flowers. Let

would not be safe for him to go near the
big beasts during Crayen's absence.
''One morning when Addie was called for
breakfast he did not respond. II was sup
posed that he might have slipped out of
the house and was playing with some OF
the neighbors children. and his father ate
breakfast without him. and then proceed
ed to the winter quarters. Going first to
the office he looked over his mail. and
answered what letters called for replies.
and then started on an inspection OF the
quarters. Judge of his astonishment when
he heard a childish voice he knew full
we'll in the elephant stable shouting Crav-
ems orders to the elephants. The old gen.
tleman smiled and stood outside the door
listening to young Addie and wondering
how in the world he had ever reached the
quarters from home that early in the
morning AS he stood. he said afterward.
he wondered IL Addie, when he grew up,
would be so fond OF the elephants and
handle them. The Snowman was already
a rich man and he had different ambitions
for his only son.
Great Beasts 0beyed Child.
Suddenly he was startled by a shrek.
1t was Enthusiastically that of an elephant
being punished. Knowing Craven was
still confined to his bed. he hurriedly
opened the door. and. strong man that
he was. he nearly tainted at what he saw.
There in the training ring he saw the ele-
plants going through their several stunts.
and flying around among them with his
prod in hand. and using 1t as occasion de-
manded, was his little boy. Stunned with
surprise and fear. he could not speak for
several minutes. Meanwhile he saw the
mighty mass of moving monsters obey
ing. with alaerity. the every order Of the
tiny boy.
''At first he could scarce believe II, but
when he saw how thoroughly the boy
was their master and how obedient they
were. he recognized, with his knowledge
of the elephants nature, that the huge
beasts acknowledged the boys authority,
and he regained his speech.
"'Here. you little rascal. come out Of
there! Do you want to be killed? For
Gods sake. come away shouted the still
frightened father.
Get out of here, We don't allow any
body in here when these bulls" are being
worked. Get out!' was the reply Of his
young hopeful
Il will not take the time to tell you
how they finally compromised. but that
was young Forepaugh's start. and he be-
came the greatest trainer of elephants the
world ever knew"
