A big elephant In a tantrum la ono of the most objectionable feiitiirea eon ; neeteil with the management of n clr etis, ueeoiilliig to n veteran bandmaster whoso varied experience with shown gives' li I tn authority to speak upon tho , subject Intelligently. "Tho worst elephant connected with any crctis on the road," said the band master, "was Hollvnr, which Is now In the I'hlladelphlu Zoo. lie was alwaya looking foi trouble. Not vicious trou ble, hut Just mischief, ami usually ex pensive mischief at that. lie was afraid st only one being on earth and that wna Johnson, his trainer. Kvery little while when llollviir seemed to be sleepy nnd careless Johnson would slip out for a look around the town. Just ns often as not that was the very thing that Moll- var hoped ho would do. The big brute would pull up the stake that he was chained to and go wandering off across ' tho tent, taking along with him every thing that his tackle caught In. The only thing that anybody could do when he wna In ono of those playful moods was to yell 'Johnson. Here he Is, John sou.' Hollvnr would take a quick look around and sneak back to the place where he had la-en chained nnd look In nocent. "One day when we were In Westerly, It. I., Johnson, who had some friends In town, went out for an hour or so to see them. He was hardly out of the grounds lx'fore Hollvnr pulled up his stake nnd struck for the highway. He went up through the vlllago until he enmo to the mlnlster'a cottage. The big brute wnlked carefully In at the gate and picked his way down Into the vege table garden, In about three minutes he had rooted up the iieas and the 'tuck et corn and was making the pumpkin vines Into wreaths for his brow. There wasn't anything worth pulling up left In the garden, so he moneyed over to the kitchen, which was built onto the side of rlio house. He put up the win dow and stuck his trunk Inside to ex plore. The first thing he reached was the flour barrel and lie was a white ele phant In about three minutes. There were about 500 circus x.-opIe and towns people out In front of the house watch ing him and he Just stepped to the front gate long enough to blow n cloud of flour all over everybody within forty feet. Then he went back and got his snout Into the flour barrel again Just as the minister hrnrd the racket In the kitchen and came In to see what was doing. "What met him was n snow white elephant with his head half through the window, who let out a cloud of flour at him. The parson fainted and Holl vnr gave him three or four more trunk fills of flour and then marched out into the front yard and began pulling up shrubbery nnd dusting himself oil with It. The ennvnsman who were there yelled 'Johnson until they were hoiir.-e but Hollvnr paid no attention to them. Nobody knew where Johnson was, but of a sudden a plan came to me nnd I called tlio baud together. There was It tune that we called the 'Hollvnr March.' It was kind of slow nnd ponderous nnd It wns thu only thing we ever played "while Hollvar was In the arena. We lined up Just Innlde the gate of the yarn and blew up the 'Hollvar March.' As wo did so, Hollvar pricked up IiIb ears and I could see his mind wns working. He knew that tuno had never been played before when Johnson wns not around. Johnson being his boss, he supposed naturally enough that John eon bossed the whole show, Including tho band. Tho baud, be reasoned, wouldn't be out there playing Its tricks If Johnson was not nround somewhere, too. So he camo out nnd fell right In behind tho band and marched bnek to tlio tents at meek ns Mary's, lamb nnd wo sat up there and plnyed to the crit ter for two hours until Johnson came back. "Tho minister took $20 damages, ?5 for his garden sass and $15 for his feel ings. Hollvnr cost so much In damages Hint Mr. Forcpnugh gave him to tho Philadelphia Zoo."
