Pa yelled to the people on horseback
to kill the elephant, and the crowd
cheered, thinking it was the best per-

had been emptying stale beer out OF
the bottoms of kegs into a washtub'

ready to be sold topeople who buy it

Well, sir, that COMPOUNDED elephant

and he never took it out till the beer
was all gone. looked down from the
pagoda and told pa the elephant was
drinking again, and had drank a wash

sheik act, and had to look dignified, as
though he was praying to Allah.
But just then the band struck up,
and we started down the main street

to cheer cause our elephant began to
hippity-hop, and waltz sideways
across the street and back again, and
I thought pa would die. In the parade
one man on a horse attends to the ele-
plants, SO the sheiks don't have any
thing to say, and pa remained like a

Expert Smokers.

The Japanese are experts on smoke
rings. and it is said in Japan it is con-
sidered no uncommon trick to blow
three rings Of smoke in succession, the
second travelling through the first and
the third through both. Some stage per-
formers are credited with becoming so
expert in smoke blowing that they are
not only able to multiply the number
of rings thus made, but actually form
Japanese characters representing words
and sentences. One Japanese juggler,
it is declared, proposed to his wife by
forming the characters representing
his avowal of love through thin
stream of smoke.
