Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A striking example of the intelligence of elephants was seen in Middletown, Conn., the other day during a circus parade. A small child on Broad street got away from its mother and toddled out into the street. Before anyone could realize what the child was up to it was directly in front of the herd of elephants. Everyone expected to see the little one crushed to death, but the leader of the herd carefully picked the babe up with its trunk and swung it out of danger.
