WASHINGTON. D. c., April g.
No 'two'legged animal was ever more
beloved than Old Dunk who, il not the
talless elephant in captivity was sure
~ the thickest. The kiddies of the
Capital loved Dunk, and so did the
grown.ups who, when kiddies. fed him
peanuts just as their progeny did
Dunk was more than an elephant-he
was an institution. He was the bright,
particular drawing card at the Zoo.
AS popular inmate of that establish
ment, Dunk was about 1000 to / IA
vorite. How he stood in this COM
munity is shown by the fact that, de-
spite war news, the local papers car
ried long stories OF Dunk's death aud
his career, starting them on the first
page, and by the further fact that the
town folks are contributing 10 n fund,
undertaken by newspaper, TO put up
monument or a tablet which will
commemorate the virtues of the kind.
ly old elephant, and testify to the love
Of Washingtonians, especially the chill
dren, for him. For six months before
he died several days ago, Dunk didn't
lie down. He obstinately refused.
His keeper said that Dunk knew that
once he got down he would never get
up, and with that uncany shrewdness
OF his kind, he staid up on his giant
legs. But the day finally came when
he could stand up no longer and he
fell over, breaking his shoulder bone
when he fell. Dunk's end was come.
and he seemed TO know it. He closed
his little eyes and lay quite still ex-
hausted. 1t was considered by the
Zoo people the merciful thing to dc t.
end his suffering and misery, and that
was done by shot fired by his keep
er who broke down and cried before
the last breath OF life had left the great
body. Dunk was sixty years of age.
He was the first inmate of what is now
one OF the finest ZOOS in the country.
He was given to the city by the elder
Adam Forepaugh, the Snowman. The
show people said he was an ugly ele-
plant" that he wouldn't learn tricks
aud wouldn't perform, and that he was
natural revolutionist who was al
ways starting a stampede of the herd.
10 friend of Dunk's believes word
of that. For a quarter of century he
was a model citizen OF Washington, be-
loved and looked up to by everybody.
He was as harmless as kitten, was
poor, old. greatly.missed and widely
mourned, Dunk.

Texas has sent another 22karat re-
former TO the House of Representa-.
tives. which refutes The assertion that
there is scarcity in the nut crop of
that expansive commonwealth. 1t was
thought, and it was hoped, that when
Cyclone" Davis failed to be returned
for a second term that the discrknina-
tory powers and geberal intelligence Of
the voters of Texas bod considerably
improved, but that seems not to be the
case. Texas has sent us Thomas L.
Stanton, of Abilene, who, il he under.
takes TO carry out what he told the
hicks down by the Rio Grande he pro.
posed to do if they sent him up to
Washington, is going TO be a House
pest, and u general nuisance, which
will make Cyclone" Davis seem liks
thing of Joy instead OF the bore he
was by comparison. But. If may be,
that Mr.. Stanton was merely joshing
the Texans to get their votes to get in
on; that, after sizing them up and see
ing what kind of bunk TO hand out 10
them, played right down TO their re-
stricted intelligence and dealt out the
stuff they wanted. That remains to
be seen. Copies of the speeches he
made are being handed around among
the members. They are some speech.
eS. Stanton promised the folks to
make Congress start TO work every
day at 8 o'clock of the morning and
work till o'clock at night. He attack
ed Champ Clark, blaming Champ for
the vapid tea-drinking and psrtygiving

with that! And that is not the only
