Stuck-up Elephants
" Make Herd Carry
Trunks Just So
Kas and l o and Floto and Mama
are performing elephants, and they
have constituted themselves a board
of censorship over all the other ele
phants with the Sells-Kioto circus,
gouilng Friday, September 23. to
Itoseburtr, Because or their super
ior education they are ftery "up
stage" with the pachyderm actors
less clever than they, and, as for the
elephants which can not perform
well, one should see Kas and com
pany slip them, the scornful razz.
Kas. It was, who found a name for
the quarter. Being a well traveled
elephant, he has picked up a fad of
reading signs on box cars. "We
shall be -The Big 4,' " he whispered
behnd his trunk to Mo. and Mo pass-
ea tne word to Kioto and Mama
mat led to other things. Soon, "The
uig 4 ' began to tell the other "bulls"
how to carry their trunks In parade
The patient, kindly members of the
rive Sells-Kioto herds have allowed
themselves to be Imposed upon to
:he extent that now they yield the
centers of the three rings to Kas and
nis pals In the performances and
?opy their table manners. So. If In
the big menagerie tent of the cir-
us, you find meek elephants that
are slow to reach -out for peanuts,
1o not pass them by, but offer the
goobers to them twice. You won't
have to wait long, for Kas and Mo
have a tough time restraining their
humble understudies' eagerness for
neanuta. Of course. It Is hard for
he trainers to put "The Big Four"
n their places, for they reallv are
Mever actors. Most circus men con-l
ede that Floto and Mama are the
leverest pachyderms that ever ner
formed. They are all of them great
'overs of the children, and It ta al
most Impossible to be harsh with
dephanls that care for children as
lo the Sells-Floto herds..
In the opening : spectacle, "The
lirth of the Rainbow," Mama, Floto
ind twelve other elephants carry
Vaypoles. and ballet girls dance at
he ends of dozens of rainbow
streamers which radiate from the
peaks.
All of the Sells-Floto performing
herds are presented In the rings and
