AVIATOR CURTISS
WINS $10,000 PRIZE
Auut Sally Benson had a farm near
Bellport, and she waa known the coun-
try over aa a abarp old woman. Tbere
were so many anecdotes afloat of her
getting the beat of thin- on* and that
on* that when her groat trouble Anal-
ly cam* there were few to pity her.
A circua waa to exhibit in Bellport.
and the advance agent contracted with
farmers for foraca far the elephant*,
cameia and horaea. The forage was to
b* paid for on delivery. Aunt 8ally
bad an abundance of hay and straw
and furnished the largeat ahare of any
one. The circoa did not draw a very
large crowd and had mat with poor
bnaineaa for several day* bafwe, hnd
Km upshot waa that It could hot pay
its bill*. Aunt Salty bad had anougii
taw to Itnow just what to do. She got
®Hl % writ of attaebfoaat on the big
hlephant at once. Bo waa tb* biggest
part oT the menagerie, aad aha Agared
that the money owing her would be
raiaed somehow. It waac't, however,
and the elephant waa coadopted out to
her farm by a constable
When an animal ia attached the law
preecribeo that it moat be fad and
cared for and made comfortable. Nero
waa devouring a boyatack per week,
and the circus men were adjourning
the caw in hopea she would return
him and forgive tb* debt besides
That's where they made a mistake in
Aunt Salty. Of a sodden it waa an
nounced that on a certain day the el*
phant would be driven over the high-
way from Beilport to Grimaby. a dla-
tance of sixteen miles. The farmers
along the route raised a vigoroua pro-
test at once. Nothing will frighten a
horse as quick ss the sight of an ele-
phant. Aunt Sally replied that Nero
needed the exerciee. and she stuck to
it until nearly thirty farmera had con-
tributed 50 cents each to have the
beast driven another route. Tbeg Uje
farmers along the route came down,
ss also on the third, but those on the
fourth made no move. On the day
Nero started forth. His keeper was
on his back, and Aunt Sally followed
behind with her old horse and buggy.
Farmers tried to stop her In vain. If
Nero stopped now and then to uproot
or twist off a tree or to level a ahed
or twenty rods of fence, that. Aunt
Sally affirmed, waa a clear act of
Providence for which ahe con Id not
b{ bald reaponsible.
The highway waa cleared for milaa
for the conquering hero. Noxt day
Aunt Sally was paid to change her
route.
