Not So Desperately Slow.
Down in Ohio the other day, not
very far from Cleveland, I took a car-
ryall or ‘bus at a country station to
ride inland a. few miles. The driver,
who carried the mail for Uncle Sam,
was disposed to be quite communica-
itive.
“You don’t live ’round here, I
s’pose?” he remarked, lnterrogatively.
“No—not now,”I replied. “I’m from
Chicago.”
“Pretty big place, ain’t it?” he con.
tinued.
“Yes, it’s a large city,” I said.
“I s’pose there’s something goin’ on
there most of the time, ain’t there?“
he asked. I nodded afiirmitively.
“Well, we ain’t so darned slow
down here,” he added. "Had a dance

WEEKLY NOKWALK
AN ELEPHANT A DEFENDANT.
On Trial for Murdering a. Man and Ac‘
quitted After a. Legal Battle.
An elephant accused of murder
has been exonerated by» a Coroner's.
jury. The occasion was the inquest
on the body of a man who had been
killed by the animal. It took place in
London and is probably the most re-
markable event in natural history on
record. , .
The elephant is of Asiatic birth, is
known as Charley, and is the star per-
former in Sanger’s Circus. He held
that position before the "tragedy in
which he recently became involved,
and will continue to do so, thanks to
a jury of liberal-minded English-men.
Charley was eating his supper when
he saw his old enemy. He immedi-
ately seized the man with his trunk,
pushed. him against the wall and
crushed him to death.
Sanger, the owner of the circus, was
the great witness in Charley‘s favor
at the inquest. He said he was the
kindest elephant ever known. He
added:
“Elephants do not forget injuries 01
kindnesscs. I remember several 1c-
markable instances. On one occasion,
when I had been separated from an
elephant for two years, the elephant,
on seeing me, selzed me round the
waist with his trunk and would not
let me go until he had hugged and ca.
resscd me for a long time. Tears of
pleasure ran down the brute’s cheeks.
“Some years ago a nephew of mine,
a child of three, was playing around
Charley and climbing up his legs.
Charley gently resented this, but the
child continued. Charley then took
the child up, shook him gently and put
him down some yards away.”
Others testified to the good chamctcii
of Charley and the jury returned .a
verdict of accidental death without
blaming the elephant.
The Independent Stage Driver.
Eastern tourists who base their
ideas about stage drivers upon their
knowledge of Eastern coachmen, are
apt to meet with a. rude shock.
There is an old driver at Monterrey,
who is determined that his patrons
shall make no mistake concerning his
exact status, and in a quiet way he
checks alltattempts to make a servant
of him.‘ A short time ago he was drlv‘
ing a party of tourists about, when
one qucrulous old lady, who had {1114
noycd him not a little by her airs of
superiority, asked:
‘\ly man do you know the name of
that wild fio11 er?”
‘ch, ” he 1eplied, and flicked one of
his leaders with his whip.
She paused a. moment for him to
give the name, but he ,merely clucked
to the wheelers. .
“Driver, do you know the name of
that flower?’ she repeated, in an im-
pcrious tone.
“ch. Get up there, Bally!”
Again she waited, and again def
mended:
“Man, don't you know the name of
that flower. ‘7” m..-“
"Yep. G’long there, Petel”
“Then why don’t you tell me?”
“011. You want to know, too,- do “yr-5"}? .
That’s a wild poppy.”——Golden Days.
