a book, or . piece Of cardboard about
three by four inches when folded and
closed. Cover inside and out with silk
or satin, using contrasting colors If de-

around the edges, and two pinked leaves
of white flannel are fastened at the
center to the foundation. Suspend by
narrow ribbon passed between the
leaves and tied in q bow at the ends.
The word Needles should be out

fringed at the edges and drawn up
with linen thread. Fill with emery

thrifty farmer of forty-five. I had
taken a walk before breakfast one
morning rs an appetizer, out from
Jonesboro. where was attending
court, and was standing by the ruins of
the old mill when he came up. The
roof had fallen in, windows and doors
disappeared. The old vater-wheel had
crumbled to decay and green ivy COW

CHASED ~ AN ANACONDA.
Thrilling Adventure 0f Iloa Hantar In Ii
W1ldo Of Africa.

xASilliag Adventure Of Lion H1ntar In the
Wllds Of Africa.
A popular business man of Birming-
ham, Ala, is . Frenchman who spent
several years in South Africa before he
came to America While q resident Of
Africa he went lion hunting several
times, and, while he killed no lions, he
met with . number of very exciting ad'
ventures.
In the gentleman's own estimation
the most exciting of his African hunt
ing adventures was . race with an inn
mense anaconda, the largest snake
found in that country. The story 10
best told in his own words:
my first lion hunt" he said, Twas
with party of three Englishmen and
five natives. We were all mounted on
small Arab ponies, and carried large
rifles suspended from our shoulders BY
. leather strap. We rode out fifteen
miles from camp and was placed on q
stand 1T the edge of the jungle while
the natives were sent into the Jungle to
drive out the game. had been on my
stand half an hour when my pony sud-
denly began to snort loudly and back
away from the jungle. At first l could
see nothing. and slung my rifle around
on my back in order to leave both hands
free to manage the pony, who had never
acted SO strangely before.
''In few moments, however, Iheard
q roaring noise which sounded exactly
like the approach of small whirlwind.
BY this time my pony was turning
around like q top. and at each turn he
was getting farther away from the
jungle. In moment more saw an
immense anaconda come out of the
Jungle and start directly toward us.
The reptile seemed to me to be about
forty feet long and as big around as my
body. Iforgot had q gun; in fact, it
was all / could do just then to keep my
seat on the pony. As soon rs the little
animal saw the snake coming toward MS
he headed for the camp. fifteen miles
away. and no race-horse winning Der
by ever made such time as that little
Arab pony made getting back to camp.
ssThe snake was right behind us for
ten miles and then gave up the race,
but the pony did not know it. and never
slackened speed until he was safe in
camp. For the first few miles the huge
reptile was only q few feet behind us.
and seemed to feel his hot breadth ON
my neck. The roaring noise he made
when he first came out of the jungle
continued as long as he kept after us.
The pony could hear the noise. and the
way he bumped himself would make
the modern race horse ashamed. Once
thought the anaconda had us.
He made an extra squirt of
speed and ran alongside the
pony for fifty yards. We were
going SO fast the friction made by the
snakes body passing over the ground SO
rapidly left . trail of smoke behind OF
course the reptile could not coil or
strike while going at that speed, and
that saved us. When he slackened speed
to coil around us the pony put on q lit
tie more steam, and gained nearly half
a mile. That won the race and saved
us. To give you an idea Of that pony's
speed, my gun with the strap around
my shoulder was hanging out behind
me at an angle of forty-five degrees, and
never once touched my back during the
fsteen-mile race."-St Louis Globe
Democrat
