TRAPPING AN ELEPHANT.
a Stirring Hunting Adventure in the Wildi
of Africa.

OI hITlcas
Silent and motionless, quite hidden in
the darkness, stood the huge form of an
old bull elephant, one of whose tusks
had been damaged in his youth and had
become totally decayed. His head was
bent forward in order to rest his one
monster tusk upon the ground, his
trunk loosely coiled between his fore
legs, was also resting on the ground,
and his great ragged ears tapped
spasmodically in vain endeavor to shake
off the myriads of mosquitoes that per-
sistently hovered around his head Sud
denly the forest was lit up by a most
vivid flash of lightning, followed an in
slant afterward by a crashing peal OF
thunder. The elephant raised his head
with startled jerk, his huge limbs
shaking with fear.
Almost before the rumbling echoes of
the thunder had died away, the rain,
that had been threatening for SO many
hours, fell in torrents. Flashes of
lightning succeeded each other so rapid
ly that the attendant peals OF thunder
were converted into one continuous
roar, and the violence of tho wind soon
increased to veritable tornado-a
tropical hurricane.
Trees were blown down and uprooted
on all Sides The terrified elephant re-
mained for some time motionless with
fear, but as the tempest continued, the
monster became suddenly ypanic-stricken
and charged madly through the donse
forest, stun bling and falling over the
trunks of uprooted trees in his endeav
ors to gain some op5n patch where there
would be no Danger of being crushed by
the falling timber.
Suddenly. in the midst Of mad rush.
the elephant sank to the ground with
sharp squeal OF pain. The poor brute
had severed the vines that supported
one of the traps that had been arranged
the previous day, and heavily-weighted
spear was plunged between his shoul-
ders. For some moments he renamed
motionless, then the great body rolled
slowly from side to side in vain on
deavor to free himself from the spear.
but the weapon was barbed and the
points had penetrated too deeply to
be shaken of. Here he remained, ex-
hausted, until daybreak, his hide COW
cred with patches OF mud and deep red
smears OF blood.-Herbert Ward, in

Unique matrimonial Complication.

The most unique matrimonial COM
plication has arisen in the family OF a
baltimore millionaire. To begin at the
beginning: A youthful couple, finding
marriage a failure, declared themselves
two instead OF one, with the timely as
sistance of tho divorce court. A little
later in the season the released husband
met and loved the daughter of the mil
lionaire, and when 1t became apparent
that he would make another matrimo-
nial venture, the discarded wife in a
moment of pique or revenge called upon
the old millionaire, the widower father,
and warned him against allowing his
daughter to marry her divorced husband,
assuring the aged parent that unhappi-
ness would be tho result. The old bond
holder listened with due attention and
ended by falling in love with the fair
protestant. He allowed his daughter to
marry the man of her choice and he con-
soled the widow, one time wife. The
result Is that the young husband has
his divorced wife for his mother-in-law,
and the millionaire's daughter has her
husbands divorced wife for her stop
mother. Imagine tho family gather
irgsl-N. Y. World.
