EnSUeS.

This is the story Of how an elephant
frightened two self respecting horses
today to such an extent that they ran
away with loaded" water wagon.
While the horses were going Paul
Revere's midnight ride is reported to
have had nothing on them.
The elephant didn't mean anything
but in a way elephants have he raised
bis trunk up and curied it a bit IN the
air. This was done in the presence
Of the horses. They took to their
heels at Fourth and Johnson streets
George Mckee, colored driver, could
not get down OF the wagon. Hence
he stuck to his post and succeeded in
stopping the horses after they had
run short distance.
The elephant belongs to the Patter-
son shows.

Sheffield removed from Tacoma
to their present loe&tion-less
than Que mile north Of the south
end of the island. For some years
previous to this Mrs. Sheffield HAD
experimental with dahiias in their
city garden and had already come
to be considered an authority on
all matters relating to them. How
ever, she considered it all mere
pastime until one season some IA
years ago, under the continued
urging of Mr.. Sheffield, she, with
great prodigality, as it then seem
ed, invested $i7 in dahlia bulbs.
The result of this initial invest
ment opened her eyes to the pos
sibilities Of the daillia al a com
mercial asset, and when the reno
val TO Yashon Island was made it
waswith the deliberate purpose of
starting a dahlia farm.
II seemed that The country was
waiting for just such an enter
prise. and it prospered from the
start. Many VINO heretofore had
placed their reliance on roses for
decorative purposes were ready To
leave them because of the pests
and diseases to which in many
parts of the country they ire sub
iect. All such received she dahha
with open arms.
Mrs. Sheffield considers Puget
Sound, ard especially Vashon Is
land. an ideal place for dahlia
culture because of freedom from
pests and diseases and from early
killing frosts. 1t seems that a
moist climate is almost essential
to their successful culture, as re-
ports have come TO Mrs. Sheffield
of many failures in the hot and
dry sections Of the interior Of the
country
Another great advantage that
