doubted this, but perhaps he doubts no
longer.
Alice an elephant twelve years of
age and weighing $500 pounds. has
shown him his mistake. For two sea-
sons this robust but not overgrown
animal has been one of the attractions
of Luna Park, Coney Island, where she
has maintained an excellent character
for amlability and correct elephantine
behavior. During the summer season
she has been carrying troops of chill
dren Mt 3 cents per and has been real
pecunlary solace TO her proprietor.
The Bronx zoo coveted her and Sc
cured her. She did not like to leave
the island. but she accepted the inev-
table with apparent cheerfulness and
was assigned II place In the zoo ele-
phaut colony.
There are certain indignities, how
ever, which even an elephant is not
too thick skinned to resent. When the
| intelligent pachyderm discovered that
she was Alice no longer, but had been
rechristened Luna, she gave up the
attempt to appear optimistic. Reckless
of consequences, she flung off the re-
straints of civilization and relapsed
into the barbarism Of the jungle. She
refused TO remain on speaking terms
with any member of the zoo official
| staff and insisted on taking up heI
quarters In the reptile house, most
undesirable lodging place for an indig
nant elephant. Nothing could be done
enough to her to do anything. In
among the snakes and big lizards she
| had elected to spend the night, and
none could dissuade her. She felt sc
much out of sorts with mankind In
| general that she regarded the company
of pytbons, cobras and ella monsters
as Infinitely to be preferred.

have had 1t so-but she made 1t plain
that she understood how things were
going. With n great bound she went

When the controversy between Mr.
Roosevelt and the nature takers was at
Its apogee and both sides needed every
bit of professional evidence that could
be had Director Hornaday OF the
Bronx park geological garden went TO
the aid of the president. He went into
type to the effect that the president
was quite right in his efforts TO curb
the Munchausen-llke Imagination of
the writer's Of animal stories; that
there was absolutely nothing in the oft
repeated syllogism-
Some animals are wiser than men.
Elephants are some animals;
Therefore elephants are wiser than men.
Recently something has happened al

Hornaday is the most intelligent in.

the learned directors statements. Ac

A message was received in Waxa-
hachie today from Abilene bringing
the sad intelligence of the death of
Miss Dora Wallace, which occurred
there Thursday night about 10
o o'clock. She had been in poor health
several months and went to Abilene
some time ago with the hopes OF re-
ceiving permanent relief. She was
a sister to Mrs D. Mahoney of Wax
ahachie and made her home in this
city until her health began failing.
She taught music here a number of
years. She was young woman of
strong christian character and had
many friends in the city who will
sincerely regret to learn of her
death. The remains will be shipped
to Mansfield and inferred there to-
morrow.
