No work could be performed until the

the elephant assumed his usual meek

The task. The planter, it is added (and
this appears to be the most probable

not afford to employ union labor of
this sort, with the constant danger of
a strike tying up his plantation, and

scribing the endless charms Of such
person: "A voice as sweet as that of
the Kohl and q gait as voluptuous as

Of an elephant, as he shuffles along, is
like nothing so much as that of the
stout and elderly 'longshore' fisherman
and sailor Of our watering places,
whose capacious neither garments
alone among human habiliments
have the horizontally creased baggi-
ness peculiar to elephants" The usu-
al gait of the elephant Is a walk-in
fact, it is his only gait. 1t may be in
