a perfect riot. At every afternoon S

two big footballs that the boys of
the circus bought for him.

alright or not, but | do know that
the baby elephant gets away with
six cans every twenty-four hours.

six human babies alive and kicking
for nearly a week, and you can fig
ure out for yourself just about how
much it's going to cost to raise him
till he's a year old.
