On rushed the elephant, awful to see;
made one more vain effort to stir the
horse. Now the trunk Of the great bull
swung aloft above my head. A thought
flashed through my brain. Quick as
light / rolled from the saddle. By the
side of the horse lay fallen tree, as
thick through as a mans body. The
tree was lifted a little off the ground by
the broken boughs, which took it's
weight, and with single movement, so
active is one in such necessities, / flung
myself beneath it. AS 1 did SO heard
the trunk of the elephant descend with
a mighty thud on the back of my poor
horse, and the next instant l was almost
in darkness, for the horse, whose back
was broken, fell over across the tree
under which lay ensconsed. But he did
not stop there long. In ten seconds
more the bull had got his trunk round
my dead nag's neck, and, with mighty
effort, hurled him clear Of the tree. l

towards the roots of the tree, for knew

red tip OF the bulls trunk stretching
itself towards me. If he could manage

For the first three weeks nothing very

we came in contact with were friendly,

The sun rose and looked out. AT first

by tremulous golden glow, through
which the tops of stony kopples stood up
like gigantic beacons. Through the
dense mist would come strange sounds
shorts, gruntings, bellows and the thun-
der of countless hoofs. Presently this
great curtain would grow thinner, then
it would melt, as the smoke from pipe
melts into the air, and for miles on
miles the wide, rolling country ]: inter ter

WAS 1T INTENTIONAL?
Mrs. Morrison Takes Morphine
and Dies

Mrs. Angelina Morrison. wife of Nicollet
avenue bartender, died about 2 o'clock yes
terday morning under Giro umstances which
look suspiciously like suicide. Monday
night. Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison and a friend
named Lou Curtis spent the evening in their
rooms at 627 Washington avenue south
Shortly after IL O'Clock Mrs. Morrison left
her husband and Miss Curtis, and went into
the latter's room and took what morphine
there was in little tin receptacle. The others
soon foil owed, and Miss Curtis, noticing that
what morphine there h ad been i'll the box
about a teaspoonful-was missing, she at
once suspected that Mrs. Morrison had taken
it. The latter said that she had not touched
it. but nevertheless a physician was called
and he worked over her about an hour with
out avail. She rapidly sank int stupor
and died about Q o'clock.
Coroner Towers Investigated the case. but
decided to hold no inquest. He found, after
some Inquiry. that the woman had attempted
suicide at least once and possibly twice be-
fore. No reason can be assigned for her de-
sire to kill herself. as there appears to have
been no trouble between Morrison and his
wife. Miss Curtis says that she thin ks Mrs.
Morrison took the morphine by accident.

particularly exalted opinion of the dig
nifty and responsibilities of the Office of
mayor, the highest in the gift of a
city. A man who possesses and ex-
presses such ideas is scarcely the man to
represent the greatest city in the North
west, to stand up as the chosen ruler of
100000 people who pride themselves
upon their intelligence and ability. The
only reason so far advanced as to why
p. B. Winston should not be elect
ed mayor is that he has built
home for his mother in Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Potter owns part of
a creamery in Southern Minnesota, but
that is not urged here as reason why
he should not be elected. There are
others far wei2htier. They are that he
has not shown himself to be a man of
that breadth of mind which should
characterize the head of great and
progressive city, and that the salient
features of his public career are not
such as to warrant the people in choos-
Ing him as their executive.

Last Sunday morning the GLOBE pre-
sented for the consideration of Mime
apoliS voters some cogent reasons why
there should be some changes in the
administration of the public affairs of
Minneapolis. Those reasons are here
briefly re-stated that there may be no
mistake concerning them:
For the past two years Minneapolis
has not had level, liberal. business
like administration. This accusation is
not brought against it because it has
not been 'wide-open" administration,
but because it has been conducted on
the New England hamlet plan. 1t has
not been just administration, because,
as pointed out last Sunday, there have
been frequent examples of fragrant dis
elimination. 1t has not been an honest adj
mlnlStratiOn, because the promises made
have not been kept. 1t has not Ueen au
administration of the people. because
the people have never had hand in it,
and the rights of the people have never
been respected, thanks to the ''step-
ladder and spy systems originated UNI
der it. 1t has not been an adminlstra-
ton to reflect credit upon the city. be-
cause the record OF this administration,
of all branches of it, published from
day to day in the newspapers, has been
a continual round of unWlSe legislation,
broils and scandals. All attempts at
reform have been of the most amateur
ish nature, and have ended in nothing
being accomplished. The men who are
seeking TO perpetuate this admlnistra-
ticn do not pretend to seek justification
in their past record. They merely prom
Use to do better. These are some of the
reasons why p. B. Winston and his as
sociates on the Democratic city ticket
should be elected. Now. are the
promises being made at this juncture
by the Republican party of sufficient
weight to cause the voters of Mime
apolis to disregard the reason for
change Think about it.
In the first place what are these prom
ises?
Too many pledges have been made by
Candidate Potter to allow of their being
considered in detail. They are of the
most shadowy nature and multitudinous
in number. To every man or set of
men who ask pledge of him. he replies
