Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

At the conclusion of a children’s performance at Old Meldrum an elephant proceeded along a narrow road with a pail in its trunk for the purpose of procuring water from a pump. A little girl chanced to get in the animal’s way, and the road being only wide enough to accommodate his substantial body, the elephant laid down the pail, picked up the child with his trunk and gently lifted her to a place of safety, afterward resuming his journey to the pump for the water.-Westminster Gazette.
