low their jokes across at each other with
out the least Inconvenience.
You understand. of course, that this was
ages and ages before Adam. 1t might be
mentioned. also. that these two chaps re-
sembled young elephants more nearly than
anything else that can be thought OF. one
of them was nearly the size of grown
elephant, the other was not more than
eleven six teenths as large. But what the
smaller lacked in size he fully made up In
agility. If he had lived In the twentieth
century he would have geen known as the
Irrawaddy Splinter.
One day these two playfellows were sun
ming themselves on a sandy spot when a
swim was proposed. No sooner said than
or came their skins and they were rolling,
pufi1ng and snorting. blowing water into
each others faces and trying to hold each
other under water 1t was rOugh-and-
tumble play: but it was good-natured until
the little fellow got squarely on the big
fellows back and held him under long,
long time. Then giving himself push he
swan few yards away to see the victim
Of his joke come up.
Instead of coming up with a jump and
fling the big chap came up very slowly.
He seemed to have barely strength to lift
his head for breath. Another minute and
there would have been one elephant less IN
the jungles and one more in the IRA
waddy.
The air that soon restored the big fellow
to his usual activity did not restore his
geaEce written all over his brown counte-
nance. The small chap saw it and wisely
headed for shore. Looking back as he
climbed out of the water the sight of his
enraged pursuer smote him with terror.
Hastily picking up his hide he took to the
tangled forest. His one thought was es-
cape. for he knew of the two he was the
better runner. 1t near nightfal when
he stopped. Not until then did he think

He must seek a new home and new friends.
oh. the awkwardness and the chagrin lie
felt when he put the skin on and saw how
1t hung in loose. ugly folds about him.
Suddenly he thought of the big chap try
ing to get into a skin much too small for
him. and he roared with laughter till the
Jungle shook. HOW could he help exclaim-
Ing: That's one on him.
Yet. there were two sides to this j,ke.
The little fellow could not keep the skin in

In front of his eyes and ran the end of his
trunk UP through it. In time this end be-

Trees Survive Baltimore Fire.

From the Baltimore American.
In the burned district there are two
trees which, though having been sub
jected to heat which melted iron and
caused strong buildings to crumble and
fall. are still standing and are apparently
uninjured. One Is on Frederick street
near Baltimore street, just opposite the
site of the Odeon Theater and the other
is in the rear of the ruins of the Southern
Electric COmpany's place. on Fayette
street near Calvert street. The tree on
Frederick street Is in remarkably good
condition. and does not in the least show
the effects of fire. although the heat at
that point must have been intense, as not
a building in that section was left stand
ing. The limbs and branches of the other
tree were burned to some extent, and 1t
was almost completely buried beneath a
great pile of debris.
