AN ELEPHANT RIDE
The First Try on a Padded Animal
Is a Fearful Ordeal.
FEELS LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE.
And Resembles For a Time Trying to
Sit on a Steep Slanting Roof—The
St'Q Brutes Are Timid, and Little Pigs
and Quicksands Terrify Them.
Elephant riding Is a thing that, like
guessing people's names correctly, re
quires a good deal of practice. The
first ride Is a thing never to he for
gotten, more especially If It happens
to be on a pad elephant -that Is to
say, one that carries no bowdab or
seat of any kind except an Immense
bard, lumpy mattress, whi-h Is fasten
Hi on by four large rough ro|ies. pulled
as taut as man's strength cau puli
them. If there are two or three othei
persons already mounted you get a cor
ner of this mattress to sit on and are
told to hold on by the ropes.
Meanwhile the elephant Is getting
Bred of kneeling and keeps making
heaving nioflons unpleasantly sugges
tlve of the «?a. You strive wildly to
get your tiugers under one of the
ropes and are asked lmpatleutly if you
are ready
You do not feel at all ready or likely
ever to be ready, for your seat Is un
rertai 1 and slippery, and for the life
of you you cannot get a fair bold on
the ro.Te.
Breaking your nails In a last des
perate effort, yon say fe«bly that you
are ready, when with a sudden Jerk,
that seems to drag all your bones out
of their sockets, you are tilted up on a
steep slope, about as pleasant to alt on
as the side of a slate roof.
But you have no time to enjoy the
position, for there comes another foun
dering Jerk that knocks your hat over
your eyes and throws you violently
against your next neighbor, after
which you find your seat la level again,
and it presently dawns upon you that
this earthquake was. In truth, merely
the elephant's customary way of ris
ing. • He is now slowly and solemnly
stalking onward, as you are aware by
feeling your spine rhythmically and
soundlessly dislocated at each noiseless
step.
At first It seems to you as odd that
you should ever come to like riding an
elephant, as that eels should come to
like being skinned, and your friend's
assurance that you will ere long be
able to dispense with the aid of ropes
and go on chatting and even smiling
while that colossal upheaval takes
place falls on the ear as an Idle tale.
Nevertheless It Is ttie truth. Before
a week Is over you hardly notice the
getting up or the kneeling down. You
rarely take hold of a rope, and yon are
Indifferent to almost any angle of
steepness. You learn to appreciate the
restfulness of being on a colossus that
will never stumble, never shy, never
frolic and with whose guidance you
have uo more to do than you have with
that of a ship at sea.
Even when an elephant is mutinous
he Is so in a solemn, well considered
manner. He will not run away, though
he will on occasion stride away, and a
sufficient absurd sight It Is. though not
to those on his back.
I once saw an elephant try conclu
sions with his mahout and stride off
defiantly In a wrong direction till the
savage blows rained upon his head by
the driver with his heavy iron hook
made him change his tactics. He pull
ed up short and began rocking his body
violently to and fro till first one rider
and then another was sent flying until
all were gone.
The sight of them strewing the
ground around him and ruefully rub
bing their bruises assuaged his anger.
An elephantine smile lit up his rugged
face, and he once more rendered cheer
ful obedience to his mahout
Considering bis strength and size,
the elephant Is a timorous benst They
are greatly alarmed by small pigs, and
1 have known an otherwise sensible
elephant utterly routed by a litter of
piglings scampering between his legs
In thick grass jungle.
Now. a pigling can never have hurt
an elephant Therefore whence his
fear? Can It be their latent powers of
squealing?
terrain u is mni pigs suare wiux
quicksands the power of terrifying an
elephant. His reasons for fearing
quicksands are weighty ones, and It la
Impossible not to sympathize with the
huge beast's agony of terror when he
finds himself on unsound ground.
A spot was pointed out to us along
the river bank at Fyzabad, where a
year ago an*'elephant had got Into a
quicksand and been lost
All that could be done to save him
was done, but the treacherous sand
would not forego its victim. Four
days be took to sink out of sight, and
then nothing could be seen of him but
the tip of bis trunk, still plteously
beckoning in vain for help. At last
the cruel sand closed over that, and his
last agony was ended.—St Paul Pio
neer-Press.
He Wanted to Know.
The late E. H. Harriman, says the
Wall Street Journal, was a stickler for
facts. He cared Uttle for an approxi
mate statement When he asked his
employees for Information he wanted
It definite.
While traveling through Nevada one
day with a number of the officials of
the Union Pacific the train passed a
little station with much platform, a
bleak background of sagebrush and
Junipers and no habitation within
sight
"What is that station there for?"
asked Mr. Harriman of one of the
railway officials with the party.
"They ship a few cattle and two or
three cars of wool."
"Which Ls it two or three?" snapped
Mr. Harriman. "Which ls It? There
is a difference of 33 1-3 per cent"
