Rock An Elephant Baby!

“Then he began the business of rocking that cradle.”

A tiny cradle, – it was a real baby’s cradle, – had been placed near the center of the stage. Tony soberly walked up to it and gently laid the baby elephant in the cradle, pulling up the bedclothes with his clever trunk and tenderly covering the baby.

Picking up a match from a table close by, he scratched it, and lit a candle on the table. Then he began the business of rocking the cradle, in such a funny manner that the boys and girls just shrieked with laughter.

Elephants in Boston!

“Suddenly the band burst into stirring music.”

When the Governor of the State and the Mayor of Boston, accompanied by three companies of boy soldiers, entered through the main gate, the cheering and clapping grew louder than ever. . .

Suddenly the band burst into stirring music. Open flew the side gates, and through them marched Mollie, Waddy, and Tony!

Tony Dressed Up Like a Dear Old Grandma!

“That little rascal Tony came out dressed up like a dear old Grandma.”

You ought to have heard the clapping when big Waddy walked right up to a real telephone, and, taking the receiver off, held it up to her great big ear and began to make-believe talk. Such a noise as she made!

. . . in another minute, everybody shrieked with laughter when that little rascal Tony suddenly came out, dressed up like a dear old grandma, carrying a big tray on which was the supper for the elephants. Mollie and Waddy then began to eat, and Tony scampered off the stage.

Elephants Bowing Politely

“They saw the three elephants bowing politely before them.”

In front of the royal balcony the elephants were halted by their keeper. Elda and Sidhara gasped with astonishment when, all of a sudden, they saw the three elephants bowing politely before them. How grand they looked!
