/ AN ElBEzzLrNu ELEPHANT.

The vicious system Of graft has
crept even into the animal world, and
corrupted resident Of the New York
Geological Park. Gunda, the elephant,
Is the guilty party. He has hitherto
been considered most respectable and
upright member Of society. A writer
In the New York Tribune tells the sor-
~ tale. Gunda's many visitors have
been in the habit of presenting pennies
to Jack Gleason, the keeper, which he
would place on the floor of the ele-
plant house.
Gunda would then pick up these
coins with his trunk and deposit them
In a ANAL box above his head, and
would ring a bell to register the
amount OF the deposit. Lately the
business has become very heavy, owing
to the thousands Of visitors, and Glea-
son decided to go over the books" and
figure out his exact receipts.
The result is that Gunda IL in dis
grace. and will be made the subject Of
an official investigation by the side Of
which the late prosecution of bank
and Insurance CRATER will look tame.
The details Of the defaulting Gunda
are as follows:
Gunda certainly deposited the PEN
MES In the box and as certainly rang
the bell. but thereafter his ways be-
came dark and devious. No sooner
was Gleason's back turned than he
would pick them out with his trunk
and put them into his mouth. When a
visitor appeared Gunda would put a
cent on the floor and 60 through the
form Of dropping 1t in again. and ring
the bell.
Gleason sought to stop the fraud BY
driving small staples Into the bottom
of the box, 50 that the penny could
drop between them. This presented no
difficulties to Gunda, who simply elon-
gathed the tip of his trunk and pulled
the cent out Then long nails which
acted as barrier. were put In in place
Of the staples.
But still the receipts and the regis
ter did not agree. One day Gleason.
turning unexpectedly, caught the ele-
plant In the act Of reaching to the top
Of the partition wall with his trunk.
Gunda, on seeing he was discovered,
affected an air Of easy nonchalance.
which, however, did not deceive his
keeper. who climbed to the top OF the
wall. The mystery was solved. There
lay pennies, old and new. In luxurious
profusion, and Gunda hung his head
and sulked.
