FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How an Elephant Punlehed the Boy
That Tormented Him.
Bolivar is a big elephant owned
and housed at the Philadelphia zoo.
He is one of the largest elephants
in the country and has more visitors
every day than any six men in the
city. He does not carry a car, as
docs the elephant at Lincoln park,
nor is he useful in any way except
as a peanut consumer, says the Chi
cago Tribune. It is through him
that the |>eanut man at the park
Stakes all liis money, for who would
buy peanuts if it were not for the
elephant and his overwhelming ap
petite ?
The drinking cup which is Boli
var's very own is a four gallon iron
affair which would do very well for
a small boy's bathtub. It does
not, however, hold enough water to
fill Bolivar's trunk, which has a ca
pacity of just six gallons.
It happened not long ago that a
small boy had been teasing. Bolivar,
holding forth a peanut and then
withdrawing it just as the elephant
was about to gobble it up. Bolivar
did not like it, but what could he
do? lie pulled at his chain and
flapped his ears and sneezed, but
the boy only laughed.
Just then along came a keeper
with the four gallon drinking cup
full of water. Bolivar blinked his
little eye and thrust his trunk into
the water as though he were very
thirsty. It interested the boy, and
he drew nearer. When Bolivar
raised his trunk, he did so quickly
and, pointing it at the bov, turned
on the power. The force of the
stream carried the boy off his feet
and landed him on the other side of
the roadway, a dripping, wretched
creature. Bolivar enjoyed the joke
immensely and flapped his ears nnd
clanked his chain as though he were
trying to say, "Come over here
again, won't you, little fellow?"
But, needless to say, the boy did not
accept the invitation.
Mabel's Singing.
Mabel, whose years number three
and whose voice is the delight of
the household, was talking very elo
quently about her favorite kitten.
"But," said her mamma, "your
kitty will grow into a big cat after
awhile, and then she will catch the
dear little birds that come here just
to sing their pretty songs."
Mabel fell into silence and strug
gled with the problem thus present
ed. She dearly loved her kitten
arid did not like to have its charac
ter attacked in this way. By and
bv the cloud passed from her face,
and lurning to her mamma she said:
"But, mamma, it wouldn't be bad
in kitty to kill the little birds that
don't sing, would it ?"
"Why, Mabel," answered her
mamma, "how would vou like to
have some great monster come along
and eat you up just because you did
not sing nicely ?"
"Ob, but, mamma," cried Mabel,
"1 do sing nicely, vou see."
The Emperor's Little Friend.
A little Australian bov recently
met with a pieee of luek. lie lives
in a street in Budapest, and when
ever the Emperor Franz .Tosof drove
past on his way to the station the
lad always greeted his majesty by
vigorously waving his hat.
The emperor noticed the child,
and whenever he was in the Hun
garian capital looked out for his
young friend.
This continued for quite six years,
until one day in April t'.ic emperor
noticed that the boy was missing
from his usual post. An hour later
a messenger from the emperor call
ed at the bouse and inquired what
had become of him.
On learning that the lad, who was
now 12 years of age, had been sent!
to school the emperor promised to
pay for his education and after
ward make an oflieer of him if he
were physically fit.
A Little Gentleman.
A small boy was at a table where
his mother was not near to take
care of him, and a lady next to him
volunteered her services. "Let me
cut j'our steak for you," she said.
"If I can cut it the way you like j
it," she added, with some decree of
doubt. "Thank you," the boy re
sponded, accepting her courtesy.
"I shall like it the way you cut it
even if you do not cut it the way I
like it."?Ledger Monthly.
rticsed the Monkey.
The organist of the church was a
guest of little Margie's father, and
at dinner she said to him:
"Do you play an organ ?" ,
"Yes, my dear," was the reply. ,
"Then," gravely inquired the lit
tle miss, "where's your monkey ?" ?
