STORY

LIZ DeHeVe maven / IoiO you
l. anything lately about Tango,
the pet elephant which we had
in India, have I? I think you
liked Tango. know I did. He
was such a smart elephant.
OF course, all elephants are
clever and have wonderful mem.
cries, but Tango was the very
smartest elephant 1 ever knew.
Now, the story I am going to
tell you will make you agree
with me that it isn't only the
ones who walk on two legs that
have the brains and use them.
Bobby was sick-not very sick,
but just sick like boys and girls
get sometimes when a good dose
Of castor oil. is all that they need.
So I put the little fellow to
bed and we decided it was a bill
ious attack and that calomel was
the thing this time instead of cas-.
tor oil, which pleased Bobby very,
very much.
He was to take a pill every
half hour until he had taken ten
of them, and he didn't think It
was so bad taking those little
pellets.
1t was hot In India where we
lived and Bobby,s bed was out on
the veranda, where 1t was nice
and cool. And besides, he could
talk to Tango, our elephant, who
was allowed to roam about the
yard loose. Because, you see,
Tango loved us so much that he
never would have tried to run
away for all the baled hay in the
world.
So there was Bobby sick on the~
porch and there was Tango keep.
ing him company.
AS 1t happened I was Obliged
to go into the village that day.
Bobby had taken his nine pills
b and there was only one little one
left.
As stood by my BICYCLE was
going to ride into the village on
i'll said to Bobby:
Now, Bobby, dent forget there
is another pill for you to take.
Take it at half-past three, and
above all things, don't get out of
bed until come back. 1 won't
be gone long"
l rode out the gate on NV
wheel, and as I passed Tango 1
said, laughing:
Now take care of that boy,
Tango"
He wagged his ears and winked
at me with those funny little
eyes Of his. often wonder how
elephants see as we'll as they do
with their small eyes, but it is a
known fact that their eyesight is
splendid.

ed to my business and started
home
When I rode into the gate there
was Tango taking his afternoon
tea Of half bale of hay. 1 called:
Did you take care Of Bobby,
Tango?"
Again he wagged his ears at me
and blinked.
Good boy" said I, as he hand.
ed me his trunk to shake.
Bobby had fallen asleep while
I was gone. So I sat down on
the porch near him and waited
for him to wake up.
Soon the boy stirred.
How do you feel, Bobby"
"Oh. much better, thank you,
Foxy Grandpa. I'll be all right
in the morning."
Did you take your medicine,
Bobby" I asked.
Yes, Foxy Grandpa" said
Bobby. "Tango gave it to me-"
What do you mean, Bobby"
Il dropped the pill on the floor,
Foxy Grandpa, and I couldn't get
up to get it because you had told
me not to get out Of bed. But
Tango picked 1t up for me-"
Tango picked 1t up for you

pill with his trunk?"

then he put 1t in my mouth and
then he blew down my throat to

Many Charles Town Folks Are Show

Suffering.

There's nothing more annoying
than kidney weakness or inability to
properly control the kidney secre-
tions. Night and day alike, the suf-
ferer is tormented and what with the
burning and scalding. the attendant
backache. headache and dizziness,
life is indeed burden. Doan's Pills
a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys
have brought peace and comfort
to many Charles Town people. Prof
it by this Charles Town resident s
experience:
Mrs. Emma Weller, 112 w Liberty
St, says: 1--WE are hardly ever with
out Doan's Pills in the house. They
have never failed to help me when
ever my kidneys have troubled me
and when my back has felt weak and
lame. At these times my kidneys
didn't act right. Doan's Pills have
always given quick results. gladly
recommend them to anyone for weak
kidneys"
Mrs Weller is only one of many
Charles Town people who have
gratefully endorsed Doan's Pills. i
