ELEPHANTINE HUMOUR.
The Elephant reached round with his trunk and rattled the bars of tho cage of the Royal Bengal tiger. What do you waut? growled tho Alger. Didn't you cast some aspersions on my trunk tho other day ? inquired the Elephant. I did, responded the Tiger, what aro you going to do about it. Nothing. Well, what aro you disturbing mo tor ( lou make mo tired. I beg your pardon. I merely wanted to ask you a question. Ask it then, and dou't stand there all day. Can you toll me tho difference betweou a Royal Bengal Tiger and a jackass? No growled tho Tiger- What's the difference ? Well, chuckled the Eiephaut as he blew a washtub of dust into the Tigers eyes if I couldn't tell the difference between myself and a jackass.. I'd tie my stripes into a string and hang myself with it; indeed I would, and tho elephant wont back to .seesawing ou his fiont l 6 g ß and distributing occasional truckfuls of dust and grass along his spinal column
