TOO LITTLE ELEPHANT.
Couldn't Meet the Expectations Aroused

by Much Talk.
1T is my business, of course" said
the advance agent, to work up as
much interest as possible in the circus
before it arrives, and one of my strong
points is the animals belonging to the
museum part of me show. Anything
about a savage tiger a roaring lion or
a mad elephant makes the farmer itch
for a closer sight, and as a general
thing you cant pile it on too strong.
] o.erdid matters once, however. We
had only one elephant with us thar
season, and he was understood and
nothing to brag about, but at a certain
town in Indiana / wrote column ar
ticie about him and made HIM out
the most dangerous thing on legs. Ac-
cording to my story he had killed d
dozen people, smashed UP the circus
three or four times. and devastated
large area of farming country, aud
certainly worked up great interest.
Among those who showed up on circus
day." continued the agent, was
gaunt. rawboned young farmer, with a
fist like half-bushel measure He had
business in his eye. but no one noticed
ii until too late. He entered the ami
NAL tent with hundreds of others, and
made for the elephant at once. The
old fellow was chained by the leg to {
stake and munching away at pile of
Lay, and the countryman squared off
and gave him a good looking over.
Then he asked the keeper: is this the
critter that has killed a dozen mem

circuses and devastates farms, does

ready to break loose now. Just notice
the witch of his ears. If he does
break loose there'll be fifty people
killed. Then I'll stop him right now
replied the young Teller, and he jumped
in and hit the 'Rajah' a sockdologer on
the ear that knocked him as fiat as a
pancake. They heard that blow clear

Bees for Use In War.

1t has been suggested that honey
bees be tried as military messengers
in place of homing pigeons. bee
could carry a good deal of information
il it were transferred by micropho-
Biography to a minute piece of paper
fastened to the insects back. Carrier
pigeons are often intercepted and
killed by the enemy, but it would be
difficult to do that in the case OF bees
The homing instinct Of bee Is az
strong as that of pigeon.

lay right there as if dead for GOOD

he got over the headache and got his
