Mamie. huge African elephant
was late addition to our small
circus and menagerie. Her for
mer reputation, tho not of the best,
had been greatly exaggerated by
unreliable keepers. While she,
possessed all the characteristic
cunning of the average elephant
she never once exhibited a trace
of viciousness. Her greatest fault
was her inquisitlveness almost
human-which was continually
leading her into fresh trouble. The

to me a dozen times-a vow he
never fulfilled-that if che cut up
any more of her idiotic pranks he
would ship her back to winter
quarters.
One morning strolled into the
menagerie tent with the intention
of playing a trick on Mamie. She
greeted me with an effectionate
rub of her trunk, wise to the fact
that dainties were forthcoming.
While feeding her the bonbons I
substituted a nutmeg and made a
hasty exit Several hours later I

Won Each Time.

About thirty years ago a remark.
able bet was made between Capt. NJ,
a racing celebrity, and another Off.
Ger who was noted for his activity.
Capt. NJ bet $50 that his fellow of.
ficer would not hop up a certain flight
Of stairs two at a time"
The offer was taken, but. as there
were f%orty-one steps in the flight. he
found, after taking twenty hops. that
he was left only one step to negotiate
and IA lost. He accused Capt. NJ
of sharp practice, but the latter re
piled:
We'll. I'll wager you another $50
| do it"
The officer, thinking to get back
his money again accepted.
Capt. NJ then hoped up forty
steps in twenty hops, and, hopping
back one, finished by going up the
last two steps, and won.

1t is not often that a girl of four

such an occasion TO have representa-

This young lady, while having the
reputation of being very bright. also
had the reputation for an inordinate

name was called there was a hush.
Her teacher wished that some one
else could have been selected. but
Miss Caroline, not in the least abash-
ed, stood before the assembly and
with a glance that included all the
boys in her class said:
There's only one verse that |

questioned the teacher.
Caroline looked coquettishly at the

When Sir Isaac Newton wen to live

day, when, among other domestic

had come to reside in the adjoining
house. h She felt certain was a
poor crazy gentleman, because" she
continued, he diverts himself in the

Every morning, when the sun
shines so brightly hat we are obliged
to draw the window blinds. he takes
his seat in front of a tub of soapsuds
and occupies himself for hours blow
ing soap-bubbles through a common
clay pipe. and intently watches them
till they burst. He is doubtless now
at his favorite amusement" she add

He was the shortest member of a
family noted for their dwarfsh

They joined the Baptist church soon
after their marriage. and We're candl-

When they were some distance from

When the minister stopped and turned
around the cause of the unseemly
hiiarity was evident. Little Willie

swimming behind them.
The parson, being a man of expedi-

Francis Wilson says hat Maurice
Barrymore once made the rounds OF
the Offices of the theatrical managers
in London, trying to get them to put
on a new play that Barrymore himself
had written. One of the managers to
whom Barrymore had e a the play
seemed much impressed. Before their
interview had ended II had beef de-
cided to give the piece an early pro-
duction and to rave Barrymore do"
the leading role. About a week after
what Barrymore had supposed was
the definitely agreed upon arrange

ceived . tote from the ask

The Central has ordered two Pull

from anything that has been used
in this section, in that they will be
one-half sleeper and the other half

berths, occupying about one-half of
the car. and the remainder will be
fitted with comfortable chairs.
