Another Old Standby Overboard.

A scientific iconoclast, careless how many-hearts ho will make ache, says that the elephant of Noah’s time had no trunk. And then all the jokes that have been made about the elephant tarrying his own trunk into the ark are null and void and of none effect Well, there is one good thing about jokes and scienoe; they don’t have to depend upon facts for their statements, nor for their existence.—Burdette la Brooklyn Eagle. - -
