Special to The Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb 4.-Twenty
five persons living in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey are willing to adopt
Duke" the homeless elephant.
They have been moved to pity by
stories of his plight. Jacob Hope. the
animal dealer who owns the elephant,
is nonplussed. OF course, he wouldn't
cut Duke into sections and give each
one a bit And he won't turn Duke
over to any one who can't keep him
in comfort.
Besides, it's no easy thing even to
give an elephant away. He has to be
moved from his temporary boarding.
house in Geneva, Ohio, to this city in
a special car, and he must eat on the
way 1t will be necessary for two men
to come with him, and the men VIII
have to eat
All this being considered, it can be
readily seen that it requires manage
ment to give the animal away.
One woman living in Lancaster
wrote yesterday that she would take
Duke ard keep him for life.
II will not take advantage of her
Offer" said Hope. 'An elephant lives
from two to three hundred years, and
the good woman's descendants might
object. 1t would be unfair to burden
them with such legacy unless they
keep a feed store"
Eleanor f. Vernon of Camden sent
the following appeal for the elephant:
II have two Angora cats and a
collie, and would like to have an ele-
phant to complete the list. 1 live near
a feed store, and it would be easy to
procure food. l could keep him in
the barn at the end of the lot. 1 hope
he is taller than he is wide. so that
he could get up the side yard. Will
l have to wash him right away?"
II feel sorry for Duke" wrote Mrs.
M. Fox of Souderton, Pa. Send him
up to me. L have deer and lots of
other animals. He will have a good
home"
