Elephants Compelled to Haul a Circus
Train

When a circus train on the Southern
Pacific came to an involuntary stop
near Galveston not long ago, investi-
cation by the engineer revealed the
cause, it is reported, in carload of
elephants right behind the water tank
Of the engine tender. Being athirst
and dusty, the intelligent animals had
reached with their trunks through the
end window Of the ear into the tank,
and every drop of the water had gone
to assuage elephantine thirst and
spray vast areas Of dusty hide. The
elephant trainer was called from the
caboose to a consultation and solved
the problem of moving the stalled
train by unloading the four offending
elephants, who were then hitched in
tandem in front of the locomotive and
compelled to pull it for a distance of
three miles along the track to the
nearest water supply, where the ten
der was replenished.-From the May

Still regarding De Spain with the
most businessllke expression, the griz-

De Spain, always with Jealous regard
for the relative distance between him
and his self-appointed executiOners,
moved backward. In crossing the room,
Sandusky, without objection from his
companions. moved across their front,
and when the four lined up at the bar,
their positions had changed. De Spain
stood at the extreme left, Sandusky

architecture lays bare the customs of
the early days of California. The adap-
ton of the Mexican character by
Frank Bennett as Jose Sepulveda and
the actualties of border warfare be-

big part in the picture. Scores of Mex
