ELEPHANTS LIKE TOBACCO.
About Big Beast-Toss Aside
Objectionable Morsels.

Tim Buckley, who knows elephants
as mother knows her own children
told Louisville Courier-Journal rep
resentative recently that the story of
the elephant cherishing revenge for
the tailor who had given him a piece
of tobacco. and years after soaking
him with muddy water, is all fake
Elephants will not take tobacco or
anything else, II they do not want it.
even if they have had it in their
mouths; and, what is more, | have
known elephants to be really fond of
tobacco and to eat 1t with pleasure
l have had elephants that would steal
plug of tobacco out of mans
pocket and swallow the whole thing
They do not like the tobacco, but they
do like she licorice. Men and boys
will frequently give them tobacco and
other things which they do not like,
under the pretense of feeding them
peanuts, but the elephant is wise, and
he will simply toss such things to one
side and go on the ordinary course
of his life, without a thought Of fill
ing his trunk with muddy water and
wetting the person who gave him the
stuff"

Automobile Superstition.

One of the curiosities of automobile
pioneering is revealed in the story of a
man and his wife who have just re-
turned from a tour into northern Maine
in their gasoline machine, says the Hart
ford Times. 1t seems there was great
fear of the automobile, which may not
be very strange, as the people there had
never seen one before, but it took the
form Of general apprehension that the
machine would blow up. 1t was difficult
to get 1t under cover at night for that
reason, and 1t was even difficult to obtain
shelter for the travellers themselves in
some places.
