SOME TRICKS
ANIMALS PLAY
Animal Trainer Tells of Some of Their
Tricks and Jokes.

Can elephants scent a Joke? Yes
sir, every time. And they can play
them, too, and about the worst trouble
1 have is in keeping the bulky brutes
from carrying their fun too far. Nearly
all animals know when there is anv
monkey business afoot."
That is what Paul Souders thinks
about animal sense. He came down
from Baraboo, Wis, the other day and
told new yarn about one of the pachv-
derms. Altogether Souders has a big
punch OF the beasts under his eye, and
can't see all that goes on; yet he
catches the animals at most of their
tricks. He has a little trouble occa-
sionally with the other animals as we'll.
and he is a firm believer in the idea
that most brutes are born humorists.
One of the best-natured beasts In
the menagerie played a joke on a
brother-inla of mine last Sunday
that made me red-hot for awhile, but
I've been laughing at the incident ever
since" said Souders last week. my
relative had his best girl with him and
was rugged out in his finest The eIe-
plants had all been fed, and a dozen
or more were stretched out on the
ground for nap. Jewel a medium
sized and good-natured brute turned
toward the visitors, and just as soon as
they got within a few feet of her she
sprayed them with bran she held in her
trunk, and while they were wiping
their eyes the elephant smoothly got
behind bunch of eight or ten. and
Topped to the ground, shutting her
eyes as if asleep.
My assistant. Reddy,' heard the girl
scream, and took in the situation at a
glance. He picked out the culprit, who
looked the picture of innocence, and I
ordered her separated from the rest,
which 1 knew would be heart breaking,
for these beasts like to huddle togeth-
er, and when one is taken away they
kind.
The Laughing Hippopotamus.
'The hippopotamus doesn't look
much like an animal that can laugh,
but it can. One of my men got fun
ny with this ugly freak of an animal
the other day, and her ladyship taught
him a lesson he will remember for some
time. Punch is the name of this
beast, and she is very fond of bran
balls. These are rolled up and tossed
into her internal anatomy while the
jaws are wide open. The funny fellow
worried Punch by holding big hand
full of these balls close to her nose so
that she could get the SAVIOR and then
jerking the coveted food out of her
