LINCOLN'S ELEPHANTS

Few persons perhaps know that Abraham Lincoln at
time virtually had herd of twelve elephants on his
hands He did not exactly have them in his possession
but they offered to him. and it took all the tact for
which he famous to gracefully decline them.
The letter in which he turned down the proffered gift
has only recently come to light according to writer in
the Pathfinder who relates that the elephants pre-
sented to President Lincoln for the United States
by the king of Siam, token of friendship Lin
coins letter to the king written February g. 1862
and contained this paragraph:
"This government would not hesitate to avail itself
of offer the object which could
be made practically useful in the condition of the
United States Our political jurisdiction however, does
not reach latitude low to favor the multiplication
of the elephants"
Iincon's reference to his lack of jurisdiction
warm lattudes given point by the fact that the South
was then under Federal control and illustrates the
subtle humor which often characterized his utterances
