War was brewing General Wheeler
was anxious to get into the fight, if
there was to be one. An ex.Confed-

General, why are you so anxious for
scrap with Spain?' Sir replied
the General, it's my trade-my
trade. His daughter said to the Gen

fighting to satisfy any reasonable man
from 1861 to 1865, and he should stay
at home and let the young men do the
fighting. Now, daughter said the
General, if fish had been out Of wa

After the show had wound up Satur-

railroad, on Morehead avenue, broke
through the flooring. Two wheels
dropped down to the hubs and there
the big wagon stuck. The street cars
were stopped and traffic of all kinds
was congested on either side Of the
bridge. The circus people, after many
Intellectual efforts to get the wagon off,
scot for Two trained elephants. The
big animals were brought to the scene
and the keeper pointed out the situa-
tion to them. They moved up to the
wagon aud by way of making test,
put their trunks under it and gave
lift. The wagon did not bulge. Then
they drew back, fourished their trunks
and snorted some sort of elephant talk
into each others ears. They put their
trunks under the wagon once more,
gave pull and lifted the wagon out as
If 1t had been nothing but pasteboerd
affair. Then the elephants caressed
themselves in their cumbersome way,
clumsily turned around and waited
orders, while the wagon was pulled off
and the bridge cleared for traffic.
