The Story of Jumbo.

The elephant was too heavy for
Eleanor to play with, so her mother
put it upon the wide window sill in
the nursery between two ported red
geraniums.
Earle, Eleanor's little next-door
neighbor, seeing the pretty playthirg
In the window, squeezed through q
hole in the fence where some pickets
were missing and hurried over to
Eleanor's house.
II have come to see the elephant
he said as Eleanor opened the door.
Whose is it,"
my very own" answered Eleanor.
Uncle Paul brought it to me from
Africa"
did your Uncle Paul see real live
elephants?" asked Earle.
'Oh, yes" said Eleanor, land he
told me funny story about one Of
them. It's a true story, cause Uncle
Paul saw It himself"
What was it," asked Earle.
Zone day." began Eleanor, "a new
keeper came to take care of the pet
elephant that belonged to the man
where Uncle Paul was visiting. This
keeper wasn't nice man at all, be-
cause he began to tease Jumbo (that
was the elephants name) right away
by pricking him with a pointed stick.
Jumbo stood it for a long, long time,
then he picked that bad man up with
his trunk and ran straight down to
the river with him"
did he throw him in?" asked Earle,
mo, he didn't throw him in, he Just
ducked him up and down in the water
a few times, then he put him on tho
ground all trembling"
Wasn't he a smart elephant" ex-
claimed Earle.
II think So" said Eleanor.
"P'raps," said Earle, he was saying
to himself while he was duckinE the
man, There now, if you don't behave
yourself and treat me like gentle
man, I'll give you worse one next
time
"P'raps he was" agreed Eleanor.
Say, Eleanor" went on Earle, the
next time your Uncle Paul goes to
Africa, ask him to bring you a live
elephant. You could keep him in the
garage"
How Eleanor laughed. "rd rather
have my little ivory Jumbo that big
live Jumbo" she said.-The Ch1dS
