Show AN ELEPHANT'S HUMANITY.- Our reporter, who was present yesterday morning when the circus animals disembarked, noticed a very interesting example of the friendship and regard which one animal sometimes has for another. Soon after the elephants were taken from the train they were grouped together in a body and fed. Their breakfast consisted of hay and oats. They naturally "went for" the oats first. One of the animals - a very old one - did not seem so expert. "Goshen," however, the biggest one of the lot, looked after the old one, and from time to time, while they were partaking of their breakfast, "Goshen" would gather up as much as he could from the pile of oats and hand it to the old and infirm animal, who would take it in very readily and express his gratitude by flapping his ears. There are many young people today who might learn a useful lesson in regard to their duty to the aged from this poor brute. -- Cheyanne Sun. |
