He comes back to the house, rings for the butler, and almost tearfully informs him that the wardrobe has been delivered there by mistake. Of course, it sounds plausible (backed up by a note), and they both go into the room and pack the wardrobe into the vehicle again. The pal, however, is overtaken by an officer, who insists on searching the spacious wardrobe; it is stood upright, and while the officer opens the front door the thief with the swag steps out through the back door; then, while the officer peers in, they lock him in it, cart it down to the river front and heave it overboard. In the water it is now seen, buffeted by billows", until a curious seaman finds it, and opening it, liberates the half- drowned policeman. "Elephants in India." The first picture shows seven gigantic pachyderms being brushed down, cleaned, marcelled, mani- cured, etc., by their keepers. The toilet completed, the huge quadrupeds are next seen at exercise, where, at the word of their director, they execute a number of wonder- fully intelligent stunts, among which-are. lying down limp, rolling over, balancing and posing. In the next view two of the largest of the herd are pitted against each other in a ramming contest. A mahout mounted on each beast, they place their heads together and each endeavors to.push the other back. The last view given is that of the elephants mounting a gangway to the top of a chute, from which each goes sliding down the way, finally splashing into a pond. "Sailor's Practical Joke." Three seamen are drinking in a tavern. Finally, one of them, on drinking four rounds of two glasses each, drops as if dead. His cronies, alarmed, flee, and the landlady, unwilling to have a corpse to her credit, carries him to a neighbor's doorway and leaves, him there in an upright position. A man falls over him, and apparently of the same dis- position as the landlady, carries the limp form to another doorway. In this way the sailor, shamming cleverly, is carried to two more doorways, after which he is put into a vacant carriage) but cabby is not on good terms with corpses, so he takes it to a bather's dressing-tent on a beach. From here it makes another trip, and a few more find the sailor waking up in the water. He now makes his way back to the tavern, where he sees his cronies discussing his fate; he crawls under the table between them, and suddenly bobs- up, after which all three join in a good long laugh at the joke. "A Champion After All." A pretty stout man goes out for a duck in the pond, tak- ing his dog with him. But while he is in the water his dog takes the bundle of clothes in his teeth and jumps in after his master. The man is angry enough to see his clothes spoiled, but resolves to act quickly; he lays the clothes out on the grass and lying down near them, then soon doses off. A tramp now happens along and appropriates the garments, with many thanks to the sleeping owner. The man, on awakening, discovers his loss, and in his striped bathing suit goes out" on a hunt Suddenly, asleep on a bank, he sees a fa- tigued bicycle racer, his wheel beside him. The athlete's suit resembles that of the bathers- in pattern, and soon the latter is speeding away, bearing also "number thirty- five," as the racer was designated by a placard. The rider follows the road, and is soon taken in hand by a number of train- ers who have been assigned to "number thirty-five'; they refresh him and give him a drink, then-send him along on the course with cheers, for it seems that he is in the lead. He keeps up a good pace and soon the scene changes, showing the crowds wait- ing at the finish line. The riders come into view, the impostor "35".in the lead; on they come, but he holds his advantage, and crosses the line, a winner. He is awarded the cup trophy, and soon adjourns to a • neighboring cafe, on the shoulders of en- thusiasts. But while he is there engaged, the real "35" romps home, exposes the im- postor, and the enraged crowd treats the latter accordingly. "Music, Forward!" The above order is given by a lady in Colonial costume, and in march a group of five musicians, work- ing industriously at their instruments. The directress stands them in a row, and tak- ing the head -off each, throws it onto a huge music staff and each becomes a note of the scale. The whole bodies appear again, after which the manipulator seems to wrap them up in a large sheet of music, which is then shown to contain nothing. The paper is rolled up again, and a cane is held, perpendicularly, in a horizontal posi- tion to the sheet, when the musicians, each about one-twentieth of the natural stature, issue from the paper and parade up and down the narrow stick. This done, a pretty effect in human no.tes, which are the play- ers' heads, is shown, after which the* little band and their directress march out again. .— ■ ■ s Whatever Tommy Burns may or may no\ have done, he has just now made himselfN the most talked of fighter in the world./ The Englishmen haveirt taken to the little American one bit When Tom bumped their champion into the rosin dust he brought down a bit of their English pride with that finishing punch. Now the Eng- lish papers are roasting Burns for prolong- ing the agony with an idea of showing in moving pictures just how sadly lacking is the British fighter in ability and to help bulge his pocketbook. They accuse Tommy of going into the ring and fighting for the moving pictures alone after he had looked the "squash" - over. Tommy wasn't to be caught off. his guard. He didn't bet a cent on himself, they claim, until he came back to his corner after the first round. Then Burns told his manager, Neall, that the Gunner was a dub and to bet the limit. Every time that the Gunner took on a saucy glare at Burns the latter would poke him on the nose and then work over to where Neall was picketed and tell him to bet The more the Gunner tried the more Burns yelled, for his handy man to get down the coin. He was so busy signaling him in the fifth that the Gunner managed to catch him off guard and brought his right with a whack over on the American's classic nose. It bled, and Tommy immediately turned the- bruised proboscis into focus of the moving picture machine. "Just think of the commercial nerve of that fellov," said the Englishman. "He wants all Amer- ica and whoever else sees the pictures to think that it was a savage session that he had." Another time, in the third round they claim that Burns pelted the Gunner in the "pit" so hard that'the tattooed man took to the tulips with no chance to arise, once his courage deserted him. They say that Burns turned pale at the thought of spoiling the money value of the flitting views of his handiwork and that he actu- ally breathed a good, whole-souled sigh of relief when the poor, old Gunner spread his legs under himself and struck a jaunty I
