LIZZIE, THE ELEPHAXT. 



Wombwell's collection of wild beasts was once the most famons 

 hy Europe. Among the animals Avas a beautiful female elephant, 

 named Lizzie. While visiting a town in England Lizzie was taken 



very ill with an attack of colic. A doctor in the place brought some 

 medicine which saved Lizzie's life. 



Some days afterwards the animals were marching through the 

 street. Lizzie caught sight of the doctor standing in his shop, and 

 stopped at the door. The doctor came out to see Avhat was the 

 mattei-, when Lizzie thrust her trunk gently towards his hand. 

 The doctor took hold of the trunk and patted it in a fiiendly 

 way, to Lizzie's great delight. After a little of this caressing Lizzie 

 marched forAvard again with evident pleasure. 



All animals are grateful for kindness, and none more so than 

 elephants.
