Tim Murphy.

HE is the Mark Twain of the stage"
said New York critic of Tim Murphy
when he last appeared there. The ac-
tor should cling to that criticism. IL is
whole volume of praise, pithy as an
epigram, meaty OF meaning as a whole
volume. Murphy does come more nearly
to representing the native American
type on the stage as Mark Twain does
in his stories than any other comedian
He is coming to the Jefferson theatre

THE ELEPHANT AND THE DOG.
Circus Mans story in which the Two
BEASTS Figure.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
''Tody'' Hamilton, the famous press agent
of the one-and only y-greatest-show-on earth
was in Washington recently on his way to
arrange for the return of the circus to the
winter quarters, and. as might have been
expected he was there with story.
Before we took the show to Europe five
years ago. he said, wed been visiting
Memphis every year for four years. On the
route from the railroad station to the circus
grounds in Memphis there's well, situated
next TO fence in yard alongside a little
grocery store. at which we always water the
big animals on our way to the grounds from
the train. paying the owner of the we'll for
the privilege. When we used TO use the well
for this purpose the keepers of the big ami
mails were annoyed by a misers BILE little
tike of spaniel dog belonging TO the gro
ceryman-one of the kind of dogs that runs,
barking, after passing horses and tries to
Bibble at their hooks. The fool dog used to
persist in edging up behind the animals
when they were being watered at the well
and barking at their rears. and taking exas-
perating fool bites out of their hind feet.
Time and again the keepers lifted the XII
vi on the toes of their boots. but he always
returned to keep up his irritation of the big
animals, especially the elephants, in spite OF
all efforts to shoe him of.
The dogs game made one of the ele-
plants, biz Asian. with tender feet. partic-
ularly sore. All elephants are finical about
having their feet touched but when a circus
elephants feet become cobble-sOre he gets
to be cranky about having them touched
or even menaced as a pretty girl with soft
ccrn after returning from a tea party to
which she's worn n tight boot
This old tusker from the Himalaya coun-
try began TO try and kick the spaniel To
death the first year we visited Memphis.
but the dos always got away from him.
During those last three years before We
went to Europe the elephant every time we
approached that we'll recognized IL instant
ly, and absolutely refused to go uD To X or
10 drink on account of the annoying actions
OF the poodle. He'd stand in the middle of
the road and swish his trunk and bestow
manevolent glares upon the little devil OF
a prancing. barking, nibbling dog, which
would be busily engaged in biting at the
thirsty animals But the elephant never
managed To land him, much TO the regret of
the exasperated animal keepers
well when we got TO Memphis this year,
after the absence OF five years. we had the
same old elephant. the head of the herd by
this time along with us. and he was very
'musth. as the elephant men say when the
pachyderms ont OF tune with themsel Ives
, and the world. Remembering that imbe-
+ ellie cog al the well, the head elephant man
sent word ahead TO the groceryman 10 re-
quest him 10 get the dog under cover. fOr
fear that the elephant would get on the
rampage and DO some damage The boss
elephant man wasn't, OF course, sure tha,
the spaniel was still alive, but he wanted
