A TALK ON ELEPHANTS
(( t WANT to give a little talk on ele-
1 phants," said Mrs. Elephant, "for
(o my elephantine mind there Is noth-
ing so Interesting."
"And we want to hear you talk, too,"
said the other elephants.
Now all these elephants were In the
circus and they were waving their
heads back and forth, swaying very
gracefully.
"You know," Mrs. Elephant contin-
ued, "T am from India In the first
place. That Is to say India was the
first place I was evpr In, and little did

"Elephants Are Smart and They Have
God Memories."
I thtna In tho.-e days that I would
travel ?o lunch.
"I had no Idea that I would ?ee
towns and towns and towns. Oh, the
towns I lave seen and the people I
have seen! How many there have
been
"1 have seen so many small boys
and small girls, so many fathers and
mothers, so many big sisters and so
many big brothers.
"Also 1, have seen a good many me-
dium-sized brothers and sisters.
"Now some people will often say
something unfair of an animal family
when they may have known only one
member of that family. They may say
that that kind of an animal Is cross
and angry, or perhaps stupid. That
always annoys me so.
"You've got to Judge from the great
number and not from one or two.
"It would not be fair If we saw one
little girl who was a cry-baby to call
all little girls cry-babies.
"And It would not be fair If we saw
one little boy who was a bully to say
all little boys are the same.
"So It Is not true to say of animals
that they are a certain way If one la
Judging from only one or two they
have known.
"Now, elephants are smart and they
have good memories. That Is the truth.
Sometimes they get very angry. They
do not forgive Injuries, but neither do
they forget klnduesses.
"Sometimes we are very naughty. I
remember one time I knocked over
some wagons—nothing was in them—
for the fun of the thing, and then I
saw how distressed and sad my circus
keeper looked.
"But I am so strong It Is hard for
me to realize that it Is naughty to be
playful with little things such as
empty wagons! Very hard, Indeed, for
me to realize that.
"We do a great ileal of work In In-
dia In loading and In hauling goods
ubout, and here In the circus help
load and unload.
"It Is fun, too. We always know
Just what to do and we go about It
without any waste of time or words
or effort. We are very popular with
the circus and If we're naughty once
In a while our keeper understands.
"They sav that our cousins in the
zoo seem so smart to their keepers.
The keepers soy It Is more wonderful
for elephants to do all these smart
things than for animals who have been
witl> human beings nil their lives.
"Our zoo cousins will close the doors
leading Into their yards if they are
cold and they take hold of the hose
when they want to drink (first they
turn !f on) and then they save them-
selves all the trouble of filling their
I ranks and then pouring the water
down iheir throats.
"Tils way of the hose Is so much
more direct.
"But 1 was talking at first about my
travels. And. of course, this Is true
of all of us.
"How we have gone through the dif-
ferent towns, seeing Cue people and
having them gaze upon us!
"How they have looked at us with
wonder, and in every town It is the
same.
"Some creatures may travel, but
they aren't noticed in every place they
go—If In any plnre. They may walk
through the towns and no one will
look at them the second time, bat Is
an elephant looked at a second time?
"Ah, yes. to be a traveled elephant
Is a great thing both for the elephant
and for those who have seen the ele-
phant !"
