HOW BARNUM GOT THE FAMOUS ELE
PHANT "AS HE STANDS."
Casiaar the- MMater Irate Was a -teat

la Wfclefc JaatB Vent aa the Great
When P. T. Barnum anticipated the
decline of the freak and other small
stuff as a superlative drawing adjunct
of the circus he dispatched agents to
Europe to round up something that
would startle American .amusement
lovers. That was early in the year
188 before the magic wand of Tody
Hamilton had transformed the abnor
mality into the prodigy. To use his
own words, Mr. Barnum wanted
"twenty camels, thirty ostriches or
some other big stuff.' He clearly fore
saw the tangible possibilities of the
menagerie, and, as was so character
istic of the great showman, be decided
to "go after it" His agents, headed
by a. Mr. Davis, landed in London.
After viewing the animals in the zoo
logical gardens at Regent park they
were ushered Into the presence of the
big elephant Jumbo, the superintend
ent Inquiring with levity, "Is he big
enough?' But London had no inten
tion of disposing of Jumbo, for he had
created no little stir In the British
metropolis because of his enormous
size. The agents departed for con
tinental cities, and at Hamburg nine
camels were purchased and shipped
to New, York to become the nucleus of
Barnuni's first menagerie.
Two weeks latej the Zoological so
ciety of 'London received a cablegram
from Mr. Barnnm inquiring if Jumbo
was for sale and how much money
would buy. him. ;The members of the
society chanced to be in session at the
time and the matter was given some
consideration, though they probably
thought that mis fellow Barnum was
just joking. 'However, Mr. Barnum
received In answer to his Inquiry the
following: "You may have Jumbo for
2,000 as he stands." There was con
siderable meaning to that "as he
stands" clause, because. Jumbo was
no ordinary elephant. He weighed
something over six tons, stood over
eleven feet In his stockings and pos
sessed a mind of his own that could be
so contrary at times that people often
accused Jumbo of being quite human.
In due time Mr. Barnum's agents ar
rived with the2,000 for the purchase
of Jumbo and a huge cage in which to
encase him and transport him to Amer
ica. The cage was upon wheels, was
powerfully constructed and weighed
something' over four tons. The trans
action was made with due formality,
and Jumbo became American property.
Accordingly and with considerable
pomp the big, elephant was escorted
from his spacious and almost palatial
quarters In the' garden up to the Amer
ican constructed cage, but Bjumbo
smelled a mouse (they say that ele
phants are afraid of mice), and he
refused with dignity to lend himself
to such nefarious plans. Coaxing and
threats were vain, and Jumbo, tri
umphant; was Jed back to his quarters
for the might. He was given his usual
supper and dreamed unmolested of the
elysium where all good, elephants go.
'' The agents began to appreciate the
significance of mat "as he stands"
clause. But they 'had-a plan. The
next day Jumbo was' again escorted to
the cage. Again he respectfully de
clined to enter, complacently putting a
foot forward and defiantly bidding the
overworked men to move him! There
upon stout ropes were ohtahiad, and'tt
soon became apparent that Jumbo was
to undergo the indignity of being pull
edb his new quarters. But all the
Una's horses and all tie king's men
pulled and workedvin -vain. Jumbo
was Immovable. He laid blue blood
In his veins, and be couldn't under
stand, why .be aheuMibeiebliged to ex
change his elaborate quarters for a
cage 9 by 12. Again- at night Jumbo
sued and efeeanM&!n; peace.
Ine following day was strenuous. A

feet In height and weighed about six
tons. Following his departure Jumbo
became the reigning sensation of Lon
don. The society was criticised for sell
ing him, for It bad just dawned upon
the people of London that Jumbo was
a "big thing." Children talked about
him upon the streets. Grownups dis
cussed him. The papers and magazines
took up the subject Parliament heard
speeches on Jumbo; even the queen
took time to discuss him. But the so
ciety in defense claimed that Jumbo
was becoming ferocious and unman
ageable, which proved to be true.

Heat people know that the
saay be easily confused by learning a
passage In two or three different ways
or by having once heard an Incorrect
form of giving it Working on this
principle, actors are fond of putting
stumbling blocks hi one another's way.
A stock joke dear to the hearts of all
players Is the regular thing to be in
flicted upon a beginner in the first act
of "Richard III." It Is In the scene
where the coffin of Henry VL Is borne
across the stage. One of the men who
carry It has been raised from the posi
tion of supernumerary to his first
speaking part which consists of a sin
gle line. Before the performance it la
usual for some older actor to take him
aside and impress him with the enor
mous difficulties of delivering that sen
tence correctly. The victim listens
nervously;
."Now, most actors," says his tor
mentor gravely, "make this mistake
the first time they play the part: In
stead of saying, as it Is, 'My lord,
stand back and let the coffin pass,' they
give It this way, 'My lord, stand back
and let the parson cough.' "
And after he has heard the latter ver
sion, absurd though It Is, the chances
are that the poor supernumerary will
give that to the audience on the first
night

ket value of his poems when they were

Moore was, like Burns, one of the best
writers we have ever had of "words
for music," and, In his case at least;
the words are Inseparable from the

IN A SHIPWRECK.
Shipwrecked persons have been kept
alive on the most repugnant and un
wholesome of foods. Probably the
hardest fare that six strong men and
a boy of fifteen ever kept alive on was
the daily menu of the Windsor's sur
vivors, who were cast up on the Irish
coast near Killegg. They .lived for six
teen days on stewed rope yarn.
When they took tbeshlp's small
boat they had water enough for a
month, but only a small amount of
provisions. These lasted four days.
After having nothing at all to eat for
the following two daya they tried
boiling lengths; of tarred hemp rope
Into pulp and swallowing It
They had a leg of paraffin wax,
'which they boiled to add to the nour
ishment The sickness they experi
enced as a result of the diet aays
What to Eat waa only temporary, and
they landed In comparatively good
health.
Captain Maboly of the foundered
steamer Gwallerfi and. his second of
ficer created a record by living for
seventeen daya on boot leather and a
pint of water a day each.
Of course no teeth can tear cowhide
boots; they have to be cut up and
shredded with a knife and the shreds
chewed and swallowed. Boiling, even
when possible, it is said, does no good,
but takes from the nourishment of the
boots. A few ounces of leather, being
vary hard to digest stay the stomach
for fifteen or twenty hours.
A diet of boots and shoes Is one of
the commonest of last resource foods,
and, though it is hard for a well fed
person to Imagine that any one could
masticate and digest the leather, a
pah of long sea boots will keep a man
alive for a fortnight if he has a little
water.
Two men who went to a small island
off the Irish coast kept themselves go
ing for ten days on a diet probably
worse than this. They landed In a
boat which was smashed by a wave on
their trying to relaunch her, and they
were kept on the bare rocky island
without food.
Fortunately there waa a spring on
the Island, but nothing In the way of
sea gulls, which they could catch, and
nothing with which to make-a fire as a,
distress signal. There waa not even
any shellfish, as there waa no beach,
and the pair had to subsist for ten
daya on cold raw seaweed washed up
by the tide.
The best known and most useful of
starvation diets for wrecked or cast
away people, however, is that of bar
nacles. Three Englishmen and a crew
of lascars who had been forced to
abandon the sailing vessel North Star
kept themselves going for more than
a week on barnacles, and only two of
the crew died.
The worst of this diet is that the
barnacles give one internal cramps
and cause an Insufferable thirst, but
they do nourish the frame. You have
to reach under the vessel's side and
pull them off, taking care not to leave
the best half of them sticking to the
planks. London Standard.
