An Angry Elephant.

A sentinel in the menagerie at Paris has had a curious experience with one of the largest elephants. The sentinel was very conscientious and always re- quested the spectators not to give the animals anything to eat. which seemed to displease the elephant in question to such an extent that he several times sprinkled the sentry's head with water from his trunk. One day bystander offered this particular elephant a large cake. The sentinel interfered. as usual. and the elephant promptly dis charged in his face violent stream of water. A general laugh ensued, but the sentinel, having calmly wiped his 1ace, stood on one side and continued as watchful as before. Soon after ward he found it necessary to repeat his admonition, but no sooner was this uttered than the elephant laid hold of his musket. twirled 1t round his trunk, trod it under his feet and did not re- store it until he had twisted it into nearly the form of corkscrew. Then he gave a snort at the discounted sentinel, as if to say. Now l hope you'll mind your own businessv'

A Neiqhinq Cock,

Camden says the Thames was once called the Cockney, and therefore a cockney means simply one who lives on the banks of the Thames. Wedg-
 wood says cockney, or cockerney, is one pampered by city indulgence, in standardization to rustics hardened by outdoor work. There is. however, a legend, almost too good to be true namely. that Londoner who had never before slept out of sound of Bow Bells had occasion to go into the country and was detained all night. He was much disturbed by the lowing of the cattle. the grunting of the pigs and other sounds of country life, which he could not understand. and in par ticuiar he was frightened by the crow ing of the cock. In the morning. in response to the farmers inquiries, he said the sound of the wild beasts had kept him awake. Just at that mo- ment the cock crowed again, and the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-02-03
Londoner said: That's the one! He's been neighing like that for hoursr' Since then Londoners have been called cockneighs or cockneys.
The Python.

Contrary to generaI belief, the py- thon or boa constructor rarely attacks people and is looked upon very differ ently by the people from the hama dryad and cobra. The python will take up his abode in a neighborhood and will not disturb anything except the henroosts. These he disturbs very much, as he has a great fondness for chickens; also for stray dog or small goat. I know of one case, how ever, in a floating house where a py- thon attacked woman and, contrary to the preconceived idea. did not crush her in his folds, but attempted to swallow her, commencing with one of her feet. When she was rescued her foot and ankle were badly lacerated by the snakes teeth. The Chinese kill the python to make medicine from the liver. which has a high repute among them. They also use the dried skin for medicine. Any Chinese drug shop in Siam will have a number of python skins for sale.-Medical Journal.

THE THEATRES
SMITHS.

AS the week progresses. the audien- ces at Quincy Adams Sawyer'' are growing larger, and consequently more demonstration. The production is achieving the same result as elsewhere growing in popular favor with each succeeding performance. It seems odd to characterize rural drama as thor Oughly wholesome, for that is supposed to be one of their strong points. Yet most of them have some disagreea bIe story of wronged girl, wandering around in the snow on a wintry night looking for her wedding certificate. But in "Quinck Adams Sawyer" there is no such story or character. Critics everywhere have sung it's praises as the purest and most wholesome of rural dramas. And then too, there is more comedy in it than other plays of it's class. The serious part of it is the story of a blind country girl. No small amount of credit for the heartfelt sym pathy that goes out to the blind girl, Alice Pettengill, in her deep affliction, is said to be dut to the true and care full portrayal of the part. The play re- mains here all the rest of the week, with daily bargain matinees. These, with the prices at only 25 cents to all parts of the house, afford the ladies es- pecially an excellent opportunity of seeing this beautiful play, and there is little doubt that they will avail themselves of the chance in large num- bers.
 Clyde Fitch has dramatized American marriage in his latest play, "The Hap py Marriage" which Charles F'rohman will present next week Wednesday ev- ening, with a cast headed by that most delightful young actress, Doris Keane, and Edwin Arden. While marriage is not a new theme for an American play. MT. Fitch's treatment of his theme is novel, in the extreme, and wholly charming. The play tells the story of the young wife who feels herself neg lected, and the young husband who de- votes all his time to business. There is of course, the inevitable young man who has nothing better to do than make love to other mems wives. MT. Fitch believes in the virtue of .he Am erican woman and the wife in "The Happy Marriage is as good as she is charming.
 That old time farce comedy, "Peck's Bad Boy," has not been seen here in a number of years, and it's coming next week Thursday, for two performances, at popular prices.
 A play for the masses as well as the classes is underlined as the attrac- tion for Friday and Saturday of next week, with daily matinees. It is by Hal Reid and entitled '"The Shoemak- erp

POLI'S

Large and appreciative audiences this week are giving popular ovation to the Star Bout the great prize-rirlg romance, that is being presented in the headline position by Taylor Granville and his company of forty. The pro- ductiOn is so novel, so unusual in vau- deville that it is becoming 'the talk of the town.' More genuine realism exists in ''The Star Bout in min ute than in some entire performances. Intensely interesting situations and an absorbing dramatic story coupled with the famous ring-side scene including siXround bout between two gloTed contestants combines to make "The Star Bout' one of the greatest hits of the vaudeville season.
 
 A daintily interesting and charming feature is given this week at Polis that is proving of decided interest to the LaTriska in their accomplished presen- tation of "The Clown and The Me chanical Doll.'' Miss La Triska as the doll is remarkably clever. Never once do her eyes lose their doll-like eXpres sion dring her long act and her limbs are apparently as rigid as the stuff that dolls are made Of" Even when her clown partner carries her into the audience and patrons are invited to closer inspection of the wonderful me- chanical doll Miss La Triska the beau tiful little actress, carries out to a tal- ented finish her remarkable doll inn presentation. Coonbs & Stone in 'The Last of The Troupe" The Three Lel- liotts, Merry Musical Monarchs;" The Arlington Four, singing and dancing messenger boys; Geo. B. Reno & Co.,, in their laughing burlesque, 'The Misit Army; Shewbrooke & Berry a clever travesty duo; and the Electrograph round out this weeks excellent bill.
 Karno's famous English pantomime, "A Night in The Sums of London" presented by a company of fifteen of EngIand's most accomplished pantom- ists will headline an exceptional bill at Polls next week. This attraction will be sure to be a great favorite with Bridgeport patrons. It is perhaps the greatest continuous laugh in all the va rieties. An added feature of merit will be Monie Mine, England's favorite comedienne, presenting her latest fresh from great successes on the other side. Miss Monie Mine is another Alice Lloyd or Besta Victoria. She is making a tremendous hit along tn circuit. The remaining itms on next weeks bill will be topnotchers.

DEMOCRATIC SENATOR
FROM THE NORTH

Having received the vote of the
democratic minority of the Indiana
Legislature for United States senator
in 1908. and again in 1905. Benja-
min F. Shively this year is the chos-
en- candidate of the democratic ma
jority When the caucus met We'd
nesday the indications favored the
selection of John w. Kern, the demo-
cratic candidate for vice president
last year BY every test it would
have been fitting nomination, but
no better perhaps than that of Mi.
Shively.
Mr. Shively will be the first demo-
crat since the expiration of David
Turpies term in 1899 to represent
mis- state in the United States sem
ate. Twelve years ago the demo-
Gratis had two senators from Indiana
VOORHEES, and Turpie. With the
adoption of the free silver issue they
forfeited their hold on the state in
local and national politics. The cleo
tion of a democratic governor, DEM
ocratic Legislature and a democratic
United States senator is at last n
hopeful step toward the breaking up
of what was becoming solid north.
Mr.. Shively entered the house of
representatives at the beginning of
the second Cleveland administra tion
and has served four terms in all. In
1896 he was nominated by the demo-
Gratis for governor of Indiana, but
went down to defeat in the republi-
can land slide of that year. He is
still young for the senate-only 52-
and with six years of opportunity to
aid the advancement of true demo-
cratic principles.-New York World
