When the struggle was at its best one OF
the skifls upset and emptied its two oc-

save the two men. One old party on
the bank capered up down, yelling
at ev ry jump:

headed man drownp
And when they were both saved one

Presence of Mind.

Presence OF mind is very rare quality
indeed. How few of those we meet,
though apparently cool and perfectly
self possessed, know jnst what to do in
an emergency. 1t isa good lhing to have
an active mind well stored with useful
knowledge, but sometimes it is good
thing to have less expensive style of
mind, and have it calm and unruflled at
a moment when it is needed.
A friend of mine once put large red
poker chip in the church plate by mis-
take. Few people would have known
what to do; but he just went to the pastor
after the services were over and said he
had the money with which to redeem
that chip. He told the minister that the
chip was worth s. up town, and he would
cash it at that price. The preacher took
the S. and said he always knew that
these little red souvenirs came high, but
he didn't know they were So expensive
as that
Another friend of mine who had no
presence of mind whatever, went to a
picnic and by mistake sat down on a
baby that was asleep under a shawl in
the shade of an outrageous tree, break
ing its nose-the chlld's nose, mean.
He was a candidate for the legislature
and did not wish to offend the mother
OF lose the vote Of the father and so he
tried to turn the thing off as a joke by
say ing he didn't nose is was there.
He was terribly showed under at the

Maj. Rogers had been out shooting and
had discharged all his guns, when an
elephant made a charge at him from the
skirts of the jungle There was no help
for it except to run, and for 400 ards the
Major kept just ahead, feeling at every
step just if the trunk was trying te twist
itself about his loins. A turn around
tree gave him momentary advantage,
which he made the most of by springing
into the branches; but before he had
time TO draw up his leg the elephant
had got him with his proboscis. Still
Rogers pulled against him, thinking /.
was better to have his legs wrenched
from the socket than to fall back bodily
into the animals power. The struggle
did not last last long, for to the delight
of the pursued and the chagrin of the
pursuer, the Wellington boot, which
the former wore, slipped off, released the
leg and saved the life of poor Rogers.
The dilemma, however, did not end here,
for the elephant, finding himself baked
of his prey, after destroying the boot took
his quarters beneath the branches and
kept his anticipated victim in the tree
for twenty four hours. When the country
postman happened to pass by Rogers
gave him notice of his position, and
soon help came, and the elephant was
frightened away by tom-toms and yell.
