passed through, says a writer in Tho
American Field. Burns, trader in
Natal, was the author of the narrative,
and told il as follows:
II was trading in the interior, and
on one OF my visits 10 Natal was inn
portuned by George Wilson, a lad Of
ID, the son of an old schoolmate, TO ac-
company me on one of my tours. /
obtained his mothers consent, and we
started. The boy WIS a bright, cour-
ageous lad, and was ambitious to dis
tinguish himself with his rifle. Early
one morning in Water valley we saw
herd Of fifteen elephants grazing
about a mile from us. We started
them up, and picking out fine bull
with good tusks, / started TO cut him
off, and telling George to ride behind
while charged them. Soon / had the
old fellow out Of the pack. and gave
him a shot behind the ear that stag
gered him little. Then we crossed
fired him for half an hour, but could
not get any good shots. All at once
the horse George was riding stumbled,
throwing him and falling on his leg.
/ was so Mortified that | could not
move; but finally, seeing Georges at
tempts TO extricate himself. tried TO
draw the elephants attention 10 me.
Tho brute was thoroughly enraged,
however. and charged for the lad Just
as be was getting on his feet. Then
followed one Of the greatest fights be-
tween brute and man ever saw. OF
went George, the elephant after him,
while followed, firing bullet after
bullet into his hide.
"All at once | saw that Wilson was
lame. / leveled at once and fired, and
the boy turned around and did like
wise. This checked the brute for a
moment, but seeing George running
again he made furious charge and
caught up with him. Up went his
trunk, and a moment after the poor
lad was dead on the ground, crushed
by the blow. Not satisfied. the brute
began goring the lad in frightful
manner. rode up TO the beast and
sent in two shots that brought him 10
his knees. He tried 10 rise, but could
not, and. after two or three shots,
rolled over and died. The poor lad
was torn in pieces. Iplaced his body
across my horse. chopped off the beasts
tusks and rode back TO camp. We
buried him near the springs and piled
rocks over his grave TO keep the wolves
from getting at il. | took the boys
watch and chain, with his wearing ap
p lrel, TO his mother, and i can tell
yUu, lads, l never wish TO witness such
scene again. The poor woman died
a year afterward. but would never
touch the profits Of the trip, saying
that she would take nothing that was
the means Of killing her boy"

He broke into a laundry, and while

replied; II am getting the things

The Knights of Honor.

At regular meeting of Lodge No 1929
held at Breaux Bridge Thursday of las,
week, it was unanimously agreed by the
members to transfer the lodge from
Rreaux Bridge to St. Martlnsville.
On Sunday evening Grand Reporter
D.J. Searcy of New Orleans arrived here
to install the officers at their new domi-
cile. which was done at the meeting of
Monday evening, and the lodge is now
one of the honorable institutions of ST.
Martinsville, and We are proud of it COM
ing here. The good and benefits deri-
we'd from such organizations can only be
seen and appreciated when spread
in the community where they exist. II
first strengthen the friendly feelings OF
the members, create brotherly love and
affection among them.
This lodge we have no doubt will flour.
ish in our midst. The members who
now compose the lodge are our leading
men. and under their wise, liberal and
intelligent administration it is bound 10
prosper.
Grand Reporter Searcy was on the ar
rival of the traiu met at the depot by
the members with customary brOtherly
greetings, was escorted to the Castillo
Hotel where beautiful repast had
been prepared for this grand coca
sion. Gracious invitations were sent
to the editors of the Reveille and
Messenger, who had the honor to
partake of the excellent eatables and
wines, and we must say the editors, as
usual, did honor to the good thing which
we're spread before them.
Several toasts were made and the time
spent with the Knights of Honor was
most agreeable and we thank them for
their kind invitation, and wish them sue
cess and prosperity among us.

Are we to Have Another War

Some political prophets that We shall.
Be that as 1t may, the battle waged by
medical science against disease will
never cease until we arrive at that ute
plan epoch when the human family shall
cease to be afflicted with bodily ailments.
One of the most potent weapons which
the armory of medicine furnishes, is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is of
special utility as family remedy, as it
is adapted to the immediate relief and
ultimate cure of those disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels which are of
cOmmOnest occurrence. Indigestion,
biliOusness and constipation are insepa-
rab,e companions, and these ailments
are completely eradicated by the Bitters.
But the remedial scope of this super
latively wholesome and genial mede-
cine takes in also nervous ailments,
rheumatism and kidney troubles; its
action in these, as in other complaints,
being characterized by unequaled tho
rOugness.
