The England which spoke the Ian

eighteen-sixties was before all things

sounds OF nature played far greater

people than they do today. This is re-

which birds and animals were spoken

By Advice of a Lawyer.

If the elephant Abdul. and Abdul had
secome old and irritable and no longer
saw things with the freshness OF other
days He was being most carefully
watched when the show arrived at
Cementsville.
The season had not been profitable
pne for Zones & Jones. They had had
10 offer so cents on the dollar to their
tredtors at the last three stands. and
when the exhibition at Clementsville
was over they could not pay certain
farmers for oats, hay and straw. One
OF the farmers and the largest cred
ltor, refused to take note of hand.
His claim was FOR $40, and he rushed
to see a lawyer about IT. Mr.. Taylor
was the lawyer. The two or three 9th
ers in town happened to be out of their
Offices. The great opportunity had
rome at last. The fourteen years OF
waiting was to be repaid.

to do is to attach something" was the
lawyers announcement las the ele-
plant is the biggest and most valuable
thing they have. we will attach him.
The circus must have him. 1t won't
move on without him. Your case win

tach him."
The elephant was attached. There
was lank and dsconsolate looking
cassowary with the show. but he was
passed by. There was lonely and de-
jected dromedary. with its lonely and
detected humps, but that attachment
was not for him. Abdul was the VIC
tim and was duly attached.
The constable saw the farmer cred
tor, and arrangements were made to
take Abdul out to the farm. He fig
ured that he was going to get soft
thing, and, much to the establishment
Of the circus folk. he went along in a
contented manner and finally brought
up In the farmers barn. Then the real
history of the case began. Jones Il
Jones left town with smiles on their
faces That meant that the suit would
have to be adjourned when called
That meant that it would be ultimately
decided in the farmers favor and that
be would find himself with an elephant
on his hands. He found that out even
within the first hour.
Abdul wanted from three to five bar
rels of water to wet his throat. 1t
took an hour to bring it from the
house Then he wanted quarter OF
a ton of the best hay to eat and the
same amount to toy with as he stood
up to mediate and feel sorry for those
elephants that were still knocking
around the country. Night had not

When sitting be sure that your hips
are never brought farther forward than
