(Our Own Correspondent) iliqd by the Swinbon Park THE DURHAM CHRONICLE {56‘}: Within the “bull car,” eight ele- phants were having the time of their lives. They were skating and slip- ping and sliding about, in a mass of crushed watermelons, their mouths dripping with the fruit, their heads and shoulders sticky and wet with the juice. The whole floor of the car was as slippery as a skating pond. A railway representative ar- rived. became pompous and an- nounced: The posse reached the spot of the assault, and then the marshal de- manded a surrender. There was no reply. save a queer sound as of tre- mendous things skating about in- side one of the cars, and a sound of eager omnching. Again was the command given, but no one surrend- ered. Then someone pressed the button of a flashlight. This is what th9,,‘?Â¥c_it0d_ posse saw. It was enough to hold the train. A call went out for the town mar- shal who responded with six hast- ily summoned deputies. Accompan- ied by circus men with tent stakes and “laying-out pins.” the marshal started down the dark lane beside the“ railway cars. "‘A watermelon! Threw it down at me from on mi: of the car when I bent over to loo at the journals.” “Butâ€"why a watermelon?” “Well, I guess it was all they had. Anyway, it was enough! It nearly knocked me out. There are rob- hers on that car, I’m telling you. Getting out of town with their swag probably.” “Rdbbers!” hé gasbiéii'."‘v‘â€"lvlbâ€"Hbers down there in one of those cars! Th‘gy‘hit me on the head!” “Hit you?” the conductor stared. “What with?” Only a halt again, however, for the quick-winking lanterns flashed out an emergency, or “wash-out” signal. A “car-knocker” had run yelping from the depths of the sha- (10359. _in aupanic of excjtement. On one night. I remember, while the performers worked away in the big top, the section crew labored furiously in the carbide-illumined stretches of the railway yards, get- ting the first section out as quickly as possible. At last the loading was finished, the conductor gave the sig- nal, the “high-ball” whistle piped from the engine. and the train be- ban slowly to move. 1 house and virtually everything ex- cept the big top itself has been dis- mantled and loaded on the cars. Al- ready it is rushing on toward the next stand. Perhaps tha reader has noticed sometimes on coming from the “big tap” or main tent of a circus at night that. things seem strange and that you reach freedom from the dense crowds much sooner than you had believed possible. That~ says Mr. Courtnev Ryley Cooper in Lions ’n’ Tigers ’n" Everything, is because half the circus has departed while you have been watching the per- l’ormance; the menagerie, midway. horse tents, blacksmith shop, cook- TIE WATERIBLOI 71mm gasped; _"‘}'151')Bers m When next your mind turns to travel, take a look at the electric light bulb that hangs from the wall, and go around the world with it. carbonate from British East Africa, blemuth from Australia, cryolite from Greenland, cobalt, and nickel from Ontario, molydenum from‘ Quebec, nitre from Chili, lead from Missouri, calcium lime, soda and ar- __ _U__-- _ - According to the evidence of two Luxury Tax Inspectors.

The charge was laid against E. W. Pearen, grocer of 1369 Queen street east,and a fine was imposed] of $25 and costs or ten days. Mr. Pearen intimated that he would ap- peal, and was informed by the bench that in that case the maximum pen- alty would be imposed upon him.
