Rockford, Illinois, to become
for the fourth time a park at
traction.
Jennie is next heard of as a
part of the menageries of the
Reynolds Shows. Then che
was exhibited in a show owned
by Charles Address, now re-
tired and living on Douglas
boulevard in Chicago. Address
sold the elephant in 1889 to the
Ringing Brothers. They still
own her, and it is not likely
they will ever part with the
beast, as she has become a
great pet in the big circus.
In New York City a banquet
was given to Jennie on her
birthday. Banquet tables were
laid in the Madison Square
Garden. The big elephant oc-
cupied the place of honor. In
front OF her was an immense
cake, on which was the statu.
cite of an elephant done in
plaster. Around this statuette
2l4 candles burned while the
banqueters were enjoying
themselves. Jennie ate pea
nuts from big ,uh. Speeches
were made by DIR. Wiley, of the
United States Bureau of Chem.
istry; Winfred Harper Cooley,
of the Allied Vegetarian Socie-
ties. and Irving S. Cobb and
Martin Greene, hutnorists.
Jennie pays for her board
many times over, for she knows
as we'll as an expert how to get
a heavy wagon out of the mire,
and she has the strength to do
it. She took easily to higher
education and is one of the best
performers in the circus. What
is more, she is a gentle beast.
She has probably fed from the
hands of million people. She
lie still in her prime, for ele-
plants have been known to
live for 500 years. So it is
more than likely that Jennie
will live to eet peanuts from
the hands of children whose
great-grandparents are yet un-
born.

PRIMARY ELECTION

The reports from the primary
election are coming in slowly.
There was a very small vote
cast. 1t is doubtful whether
the Democrats have polled
enough votes in the county or
in the State to get the names
of their candidates on the bel
lot this fall. From the meager
reports now in, it looks like the
stalwarts have won out in the

JENNIE Is 214
YEARS OLD
She is an Elephant and She Still
Works for Her Living

Among the many wonderful
sights to be found in the mena-
ger e of Ringing Brothes'
Worlds Greatest Shows is Jen.
ME, an elephant, PA years old.
She is one of the largest of the
long herd of forty beasts that
stretch out in a line through
the center of the tent. She is
also one of the trained ele
plants. She can us a telephone
and beat bass drum with her
tail.
The first known of Jennie is
that while George Washington
was still the President of the
United States she was brought
from somewhere in the wilds
of India to become an exhibit
in the Geological Gardens at
London, England. That was in
the spring of 1896. Her age
was then estimated at 100 years.
In 1906 the elephant was
transferred from London to the
public park at Liverpool. For
a time after this all trace of
Jennie is lost, but it is known
that in l846 Jerry Fogg and
.Evenetiz Howes, who operated
a email wagon show in the
United States, brought tile ami
NAL to America for it's first tour
with the red wagons. In 1855
Jennie became the property of
the City of New Orleans. Later
she was again identified with a
small show. Just after the Civil
War she was sold to the City of

or lose. l think he will be lighting
clear to the very end of it all.
Johnson's helpers are, in my iudg-
n1ent, better than those of Jeffries's.
They are not afraid to tell him what
they think, and they work all the
better because they are not famous
and are not constantly in the lime
light. But without being cock sure
every one of the bunch thinks the
negro will win, and the best proof that
they do Is to be found in the way
that they have all put up their money
If 1t should happen that the black
man goes down to defeat then every
one of these helpers wiz have TO walk
home unless some one comes to their
aid, for they have been grabbing off
all the bets with odds that they have
the means TO cover.
Docs No Training.
Jeffries goes fishing. and went fish
ing to-day I have proven this TO my
own satisfaction, there is no training
or boxing done on these trips that the
boilermaker takes. They are inspired
by his desire to get away from the
crowd. The excuse for taking the fish
ing trip to-day was that he had done
a hard days work on Wednesday. and
with the contest so close did not need
to drive at it again to-day.
But / am afraid that Jeffries is put
ting on weight in the last few days.
He looks about eight pounds heavier
than when came lere, but in this hot
climate 1t is easy to reduce, and he
probably can pull the weight off him
any time he takes notion between
now and the day of the contest.
But still insist that he is not doing
enough. would give him every day
Just as much as he did yesterday, and
twice week I would put him through
three times that much. If he wins
this fight 1T will be because of the
long preliminary work he did and be-
cause he is tremendous man with the
power to sweep over every obstacle,
but 1t will not be because Of the hard
work he has done in the closing days
OF his training.
