A Natural Mistake.

A good story about the elephant
was told once by a newspaper, the
name of which ! can't remember. IL
Illustrating the intelligence of this big
animal, it says:
Speaking of animals. in my opin-
ion the elephant is the cleverest of
them ALL" said the old circus man.
Il remember once. many years ago,
when Jacko, who was then under
my charge, showed me one day that
he could read"
"Oh, come now said the listener.
"Ill prove ii to you in about two
minutes" said the trainer. well,
AS I was saying. the old fellow got
into a scrape with the Bengal tiger.
and before We could get them separ-
ated he had his trunk badly damag-
cd. After the scrimmage was owe
JACKIE broke loose and started down
the street fast. He's going wild.
somebody shouted. Don't you be-
lieve it, says /. Now. where do you
suppose that elephant went to-"
Went to the surgeons, / suppose.
Can't you get up a better yard?"
NO. he didn't go to the surgeons
He went straight TO a little shop
where a sign said. Trunks repaired
while you wait OF curse he had
made a mistake. But what do You

No Wonder He Declined.

A man who had just been married
took a friend home to dinner unex-
pectedly and was met at the door by
his wife. The bride. somewhat f1us-
tered, for she had provided only for
two, got along very we'll until 1t
came to the dessert. There was just
enough pudding for two, and she d.
vided 1t between her husband and the
guest. The latter praised the pud-
ding highly and her husband kept in
sisting on his having more.
Fortunately he declined, but after
his departure the bride said:
why did you keep asking him to
have some more pudding? There
wasn't any more. Didn't you notice
me kicking your feet?"
1T wasn't my feet" said her hus-
band.-National Monthly.

1Darrow's Answer.

Clarence barrow. so 1t is relat-
ed. when a very young man, just
starting out to practice law, was
once retained by a merchant to de.
fend him In 4 suit for damages
brought by an employee. Unfor-
t~unately for Mr.. Darrow, his client
completely lost his head under cross
examination, furnishing evidence so
vastly favorable to the prosecution
as to result in a four thousand dol
lar verdict.
The merchant, however. was high
~ Indignant with his lawyer for havs
ing lost the case. and allowed but a
very short while to elapse before he
acquainted him of his feelings about
1t.
IF | had a son born an IDIOT he
clustered, I'D make him a lawyer
Your father seems to have been
of another opinion" calmly rejoined
Mr.. barrow.
