He Saw the Elephant.

The home of William G. Irwin, a
Columbus banker, is famous for its
sunken gardens and on Sundays people
come from every direction to visit the
place, Mr.. Irwin leaving the gates
open and making the visitors welcome.
In the garden is bronze elephant
about one-half life size. 1t seems to
have provided the basis for this story.
A man employed In Columbus fac
tory was going to his work when a
woman who is a stranger In Columbus
accosted him.
"Can you direct me to the sunken
gardens2" she asked.
The man gave her the necessary
directions and was about to start on
when she asked another question.
Gan you tell me whether the ami
mails are In the garden now7" she
wished to know.
Yes" the man answered after a
moments delay, yes, think they are.
AT least saw the elephant there when
/ came past."-Indianapolis News.
