And it is a trade of con siderable magnitude. American circuses and zoologieal gardeyg are among the big parchus- ers. The elephant trainer must poses strength of will, force of charmetqr— and, above all, he must win the qon- fidence if not the love of the 4le- phants. For, after all has been suid and done, tho trained elephant is « creature of temperament, and is much easier led than driven. George Denman of the Ringling Brothers circus is tue greatest «fe- phant trainer this side of the Atlantic. He illustrates admirably the attach- ment that elephants acquire for thetr, keepers. Denman met Queen, the star of the aggregation of thirty elephants in the Ringling greatest show on earth, about thirty years azo when he was a youngster in Australia, He lost track of her for ten years. On entering ‘the employment of another circus in America he was promptly introdaced into Queen's quarters. Queen knew him perfectly, and patted him on the back with every manifestation of sat- isinction. It is the female of the elephantine species that is more tractable, good- natured and reliable than the male. But they are all more or Jess uncer. tain and have to be watched carefully. Denman's favorite training instru ment is a little stick no langer than a field marshal’s baton, and-with no hook attached to it.
