For five years I had been the keeper
of the elephant Jamrock. In summer
wo, traveled with the circus, and In
winter we either had quarters on a'
farm or in. some zoological garden.
Jamrock had taken to me, from the
first, but you must . know that an ele
phant Is as capricious as a woman. For
a month at a time the big beast would
be as humble as a kitten and as loving
as achild, and then all of a sudden he
would pout and sulk and perhaps seek
to do injury. - There were - two weeka
in every year- when 1 actually feared
him.: From the 1st to the 15th of Feb
ruary he had the temper of a deviL
During this interval he was securely
chained and every precaution taken
when approaching'' him,. .He would
stand for hours swinging his head to
right; "and . left, : and then suddenly
scream out in a way to make you chill.
It would have been as much as my life
was worth to have got within reach of
his trunks These spells" always lasted
two weeks, and then Jamrock was his
old self again and under complete con
trol. - . '-; : :'; :
When a circus goes Into winter quar
ters on a farm, what Is known as the
animal staff must be .retained. ; Each
elephant's keeper, the man in charge
of the various wild beasts,' the herders
of the camels, . buff aloqs, zebras," rhl
bim clear of me he drew a snire. a
had no weapon, and was crowded into
a narrow bunk, bur I used my pillow
as a shield and be buried his knife Into
it several times as he struck at me.
At the end of two minutes I knew
that I must have help or lose my life.
We were, alone in the great shed, and
after the choking I. had received my
voice would not carry across the build
ing. In the dim light I saw that Jan
rock was watching us, and that his
eyes were ablaze. I had no hope that
he could break his chains, and I knew
that he wouid kill m both if he did, but
yet I called 4ut to him. He answered
with a scream, and throwing all his
weight on the chains he snapped them
as if they had been old clotheslines
and came dashing down the alley. The
tiger man was thrusting, at .me and
cursing below his breath, and the point
of his knife had drawn blood three or
four times. As he heard the beast com
ing be turned to look, but lie had no
time to escape. With a sweep of his
trunk Jamrock knocked him down, and
then lifting him up -again the' body
-was battered against the beams right
and left until it was reduced to pulp.
I did not try to leave the bunk, being
almost helpless, and hoped the ele
phant would go away after a b't. When
he had given the body a fUng down the
alley, he picked me out of my bunk, and
carried me back to his stalL I expect
ed death, but he let me down on the
straw with care and stood over me. I
remained quiet for 15 minutes and then
tried to creep away, but Jamrock
brought me back so roughly 'that I
dared not try it again.-' - .' -
It was morning before any one came
to us, and yon may be sure there was
great excitement It was Zara who
finally approached the elephant wltb
food and distracted his attention while
I got away, and later on we. opened the
doors and let him out Into a field
where he could do no more 'damage.
It was an affair that never reached the
newspapers and two weeks after the
incident a wedding was quietly celer
b rated In our quarters. Why Jamrock,
who had often tried to kill me when
his fit was on, should" have spared me
on this occasion has always been a
puzzle to me. Perhaps the one victim
took the edge off his temper, or it may
be that he remembered our long friend
ship and conquered his desire to slay.
Be it as It may,I mourned him almost
as a brother when he was killed In a
railway accident Jhe following year.

These people make Tip a colony of 23 or
30, and it is generally a happy family.
In this fifth year of my .keepership of
Jamrock I was in love with little Zara,
the tightrope performer. She was the
daughter of Professor Irwin, the lion
tamer, and be frankly told me that he
favored my suit4 I was a young man
of' good character, had fair prospects
ahead, and I had reason to Telieve that
2a ra returned my love. Things be
tween, usv would have been settled be
fore we took the road again but for her
spirit of deviltry; While she was not
a flirt, , she was more or less of a .co-.
quette. Every good looking girl is, for
that matter, but here was one who re
ceived the praise and applause of hun
dreds of thousands, and, while she had
not been spoiled, elie had come to think
pretty well of herself. When '.the tj
ger man" came, she set out to make
me jealous, and b.ave a quarrel or two
before surrendering'her -rights,. This
tiger man was named Norton He had
a cage of three performingtigers, and
he Joined us in winter quarters about
Feb..l to get ready for the spring open
ing. He was a man of 30, rather good
looking and well fixed financially, and
I will do him the justice to say that it
was no flirtation on his part. He fell
in love, with Zara, and when she seem
ed to encourage him he was clean gone.
He" soon discovered that I had claims, I
and here was open enmity between ns.
It was not my fault.. While I felt a
little sulky over the girl's conduct, "I
did not doubt her , loyalty to me and
pursued the even tenor of my way, It
was Norton who at once became in
sanely jealous of me. He was a man
of violent temper," end it wasn't three
days before we quarreled. This, pleas
ed and amused Zara; and none of the
rest of the staff regarded it as a serious,
matter. ' ' " -'
The animal quarters were in one
greats house," divided off" by half way
partition's. At the east end of the build
ing came Jamrock first of all, and Just
over the partition was the cage of the
three tigers. . There were alleys run
ning north and south and east and
west, and once a beast got "loose he
could- wander over the whole", floor.
My elephant bad his annual mad fit on,
and he was secured to the floor by four
chains. I slept in a rough bunk 40
feet down the alley, so as to be on hand
should be: try to break away. There
had been only the one quarrel between
.Norton and I," and no blows bad been
struck In that. He had exhibited . a
fiercetemper, but had not threatened
my life, A we went about our duties
we oasaed and repassea eftCD otner,
but there had been oo mo?e words. Oo
the night of the 9th, of February, tfter
a dav's anxiety over Jamrock, who wai
unusually ugly, I turned into my bunk
and after a time fell asleep, i naa

a clutch at my "throat, and as Boon as
I opened my eyes I found Norton bend.

to some more congenial clime. And
he got away sooner than he expected.
. It happened that there was a public
meeting one night at the sawmill shed,
and he was called on o make a few
remarks. ' Every other ' man at the
meeting except myself, who acted as
chairman, was of the mountains, and
their illiterate talk had roused the

mind at least and when the call came
for him! be responded promptly. His
speech, quite brief, but to the point
was as follows," copied from bis own
manuscript even the fapDlausel nart:
"My friends, I am glad to meet yon
on this occasion, for I have wished to
say . to you publicly what . I think of
you, though onr acquaintance has not
beenMong. ' Coming as a stranger
among you, I was only partly prepared
for what was in store. Now, let me
say to yon that half has not been told
me. Applause. In the Internecine
arena your lethiferous conduct has
artounded me by "the trucidation and
occision characterizing It among no
men I have ever known. Loud ap
plause. ". In the diversified field of
mendacity yonr efforts would make
Macbiavelll take to the tall timber.
Uproarious applause. In all f ura
clous, raptorial, and predacious pur
suits yon have done; such wonders
-that the gifted and great Jonathan
Wild would have felt his latroclny
was a sounding brass and his dlreptlon
a tinkling cymbal. Great applause.
In the broad expanse of labor your
torpescent; oecitatlon has made you
sul generis among all pandicnlate man
kind. Cheers and shouts of "Good for
us!" As good livers, your tables
groan beneath their stercoraceons and
Impetiginous burden, and as drinkers,
your temulent bibaclty baa made the
crapulous reputation of Bacchus to be
a sign of puritanical abstemiousness.
Loud applause. As for yourselves, I
take pleasure . in saying here to you,
without fear of successful contradic
tion, that your ncgacity is forever
established; as observers of the law,
your aberrance is teratologics!, and
personally you are a cohesive concat
enation of rublgant exuviae, that I
take especial pleasure In believing does
not exist elsewhere on earth. Vocif
erous applause."
When the enthusiasm had cooled
down somewhat he proceeded to speak
on the subjects before TLe meeting and
sat down. The mountaineers- were
pleased to death with the college man's
high flown speech about them, and
though I didn't know the meaning of
all the big words he used I did know
that he had been calling them liars and
murderers and thieves and scoundrels
and drones and lawless drunkards, be
sides condemning their fare and anath
ematizing the lot of them personally.
But not one of them suspected, and I
was hoping nothing would come of It
and t:y would forget, even If any of
the large words wer ' remembered,
when one day a book agent drove up
to the office lh a buckboard and an
nounced that he was selling Webster's
unabridged Dictionary ror z a copy
and showed a sample that was as big
as a box of soap. -' ' ' . .
Nobody had ever seen so much book
for the money,-nor had anybody ever
seen a dictionary Is that neighborhood,
and when the agent began to tell what
a valuable thing It was to be in every
family the men became Interested, and
It wasn't long until the agent had sold
23 copies, to be delivered the following
week. When he bad gone away with
his sample, I called the young man
Into the private office for consultation.
"Don't say a word," be begaa as
soon as be had closed the door. "I
know exactly- where 1 am at and
I'll be some place else before Mr. Web
ster arrives to throw any light on my
recent, remarks. I am not shedding
any tears, and in order that the dic
tionary buyers and-others may know
just what I think of them I shall leave
two dozen copies of my speech for dis
tribution oo the, morning, of my de

COMEDY IN THE AMBULANCE
A Daetar'e Story a kfaa aad a Vt'a-
" aiaa. Each With a Broken Lear.
"Wnen, I was an ambulance sur
geon," said the young family physi
cian, "I used to start like a fire horse
at the sound of the calL I was just as
much interested In the work st the end
of two years as I was the day I began.
It was the excitement of the life that
made me so fond of It I had alLsorts
of experiences at all sorts of bunrs.
There wss an element of danger In It
too, but that only added to the charm.
"One night I had a call from the west
aide in the. neighborhood of, CheUea
square. It was for a drunkenlnan who
fell down and broke his leg. On the
way back to the hospital with him I
picked up a drunken woman to whom a
similar accident had happened. There
was nothing to do. but put ber in the
ambulance along with the man.
. "After that the ride across town was
exciting enough for a cowboy. At Erst
the patients sympathized with each
other. - Then they began to cry In. cho
rus. . At Broadway they fell to kLs!ng
each other. At Third avenue they were
fighting like a pair of Kilkenny cats;
and I had my bands full In keeping
them apart The woman had scratch
ed the man's face dreadfully, and he
had nearly closed ber eye with a punch-
When we struck the asphalt in Twenty-sixth
atreet they were singing We
Have All Been There Before Many a
Time,' and such singing! The uproar
attracted a crowd who evidently
thought I had an ambniance foil of lo
n a tics. When we reached the gate.
they swore eternal friendship, and at
the office they parted In tears." New
York Sun.
- ske Kaew All abont II.
"I was dining out one evening among
a notable company of people, mot of
whom, I knew only by reputation." says
George nneas, Jr., In The Homo Jour
nsL "I wss assigned seat next to a
very charming and Intellectual woman
and did my beat to entertain ber. Paid
I: "What can I talk about that wtll In
terest you) 1 have bad some little ex
perience as a cavalryman. PoSbly
yon may care to hear something about
horses in the field.'
"Why, yes; certainly, answered my
fair companion. I know a little con
cerning army life, and I once wrote a
book called "Boots and Saddles." And
then It dawned upon ray poor, dull
brain that I was talking to the widow
of the great cavalry leader. General
Custer, so I said do more about horses
or army life."
