4 MARYLAND Tourney.

Fifteen stalwart knights participated
in the tournament yesterday afternoon
on My Lady's Manor, Baltimore county.
The tourney was held on the farm Of
Mr.. Jacob NJ. Pearce, about 21% miles
east Of Monkton, on the Northern
Central railway. The contest was one
of expert Workmanship, and in this
particular the Journeys Of today are
useful 1t is only when they are likened
to the chivalrous engagements of old or
when they are merely for the value Of
the prizes offered that they become
ridiculous. I'm Yesterdays tourney prizes
were given to the first four successful
knights, and the next four had tho
honor of crowning the queen and maids
of-honor. which were really the most
coveted prizes. The coronation took
place at Manor hall, near the tourna-
ment grounds, The royal party and
others then enjoyed dance. Baltimore

Facing a Buffalo.

We had not gone 200 steps when saw
six fine male buffaloes. Hiding behind
anthills and taking advantage Of the
wind, which blew toward us, we slowly
approached the animals. When we were
within eighty PAGES of them they scented
the danger, and the two which were on
guard fixed their eyes in our direction.
We waited behind a sugar loaf anthill
for half an hour, not daring to move for
fear of soaring the game. Then !
changed my mind and tried to reach
another anthill hundred feet away,
from which / could shoot sideways, as !
supposed, taking advantage Of the
bushes.
Without being noticed 10y Haggi, to
whom / had said nothing of my inten-
ton, started for the place. When |
was half way between the two anthills
| saw that Hsggi was taking aim, and
before l could call out to him the shot
resounded.
The buffaloes looked up, uncertain
whence came the danger. The grass
where | stood was low and was plainly
visible. One of the animals was wound
ed in the shoulder, too high to break the
bone, and foaming at the mouth with
his tail in the air he rushed upon me.
waited motionless till he was within
twelve PAGES. Then l placed ball in
his head about an inch below the horns.
He bent his hind legs, but recovered
himself almost at once. | fired my
second barrel and he fell lifeless to the
ground.-"Seven Years in the Soudan.

Tho driver asts of Africa are SO called
because they drive before them while
on march all other living creatures, no
animal being able to withstand them.
No beast. however formidable, dares to
cross their track, and they will destroy
in single night all the pigs and fowls
on farm. The huge iguana lizards
fall victims to them, as do snakes and
all other reptiles. 1t is said that they
begin their attack on the snake by bit
ing its eyes and so binding the prey,
which, instead of running away, writhes
helplessly in one spot. Natives of Africa
assert that when the great python has
crushed its captives in its folds it does
not devour it at once, but makes a cir
cult of at least a mile in diameter in
order TO sec whether an army Of driver
ants is on the march in the neighbor.
hood. If so, it glides off and abandons
its prey, which will soon be eaten by the
ants.
If an army of these ants approaches Il
village the entire population is compelled
to fly. Sometimes the people may be
obliged to take to the water in order to
save themselves. The insects travel in
the night and on cloudy days, because
they are quickly killed by the direct
rays of the sun. Should the sun come
out while they are making a journey
they construct continuous arch over
their path ont of earth agglutinated by
fluid excreted from their mouths. In
cloudy weather an arch for the protec-
ton Of the marching workers is con-
structed of the bodies Of the larger
soldier ants, whose widely extended
jaws, long legs and projecting antenna,
INTERVIEWING, form sort Of network.
In case of all alarm the arch is instantly
broken and the insects which composed
it join other soldiers on the TANKS Of the
line, who seem to be acting as scouts,
running about furiously in pursuit Of
the enemy. The alarm over, the arch is
renewed and the column proceeds as be-
fore. Washington Star.

AS A WHIPPER-IN,
The Gazette Proves to Be a
Whipper-Out.
The Lash Is Swung So Carelessly
That Jaoksonians in ella County
are Being Allenated.

GLOBE, Ariz., Oct. Special The
Gazette of a recent date, in referring to
"our" Globe cores ondent in an edi-
torial that smells of fish-monger litera-
ture, dedicated to the Peoples Party OF
Globe, describes its members as cut
throats, etc. The article is being ex.
tensively used by the abused party as
campaign document and is posted on
conspicuous black boards about Globe
and is having a beneficial effect in
alternating Jacksonian Democrats to the
Independent party.
Its special Globe correspondent, a
recent resident of Maricopa county,
airs his opinion in no complimentary
terms of the newborn party through
this same paper. HIS letters are also
being widely circulated and are having
the came beneficial effect. In this con-
nection it is well to correct the error
into which the correspondent has fallen
that the peoples Party is creation Of
the Republican party"
The fact is, that it has received
it's vitality from dissatisfied Dem
ocrats, not one Of the original
OF whom were office-seekers or
who would have accepted position on
any ticket. At first the Peoples Party
was jeered and laughed at, but having
become fixed fact, abuse is heaped
upon it as is customary in elections
when an organization threatens the
continuance OF another party in power,
consequently the Gazette, as a whipper'
in, is a complete failure. 1t is a nota.
BILE fact that the Democratic party (sC
called) is giving evidence of being af
flicted with a galloping consumption
and is growing less in numbers with
each revolving sun.

For some cause no rattlesnake will
cross hair rope. When a camping
party is in a region infested with these
vermin all that is necessary to protect
the camp at night is to lay hair lariat
on the ground around the camp in such
a way that no snake can approach the
camp from any quarter without crossing
the rope and the campers are perfectly
secure from intrusion. Why it is no
human being can explain, but that it
is 80 has been too often proven to be
doubted.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

An American artist with whose name
all lovers of good pictures are familiar
was narrating some of his war expe-
riences at his club few evenings ago.
He served during the last three years Of
the war and fairly won the distinction
of being a brave soldier. Il am not
disposed to boast of the motive that
prompted me to enlist" said he to a
group Of deeply interested friends, but

the war broke ont | was induced by q
persistent and smooth tongued book
agent to subscribe for an expensive
illustrated publication. 1t was to be de-
livered in parts, one part each month,
and payment of two dollars was to be
made at each delivery. Well, after
awhile got tired of the thing and found
the payments irksome. But | could not
shake off the book agent. He became n
nightmare to me, and finally to escape

inclination to go to the front anyhow,

first man to recognize me in that town

did not, for l gave him bogus address

A Chemists Last Request.

Without the contrasted patience Of
moral and physical pain there are men
of high intellect for whom the latter has
no terrors. The chemist Lavoisier was
summoned during the Reign Of Terror
in France to his death; he calmly re-
quested few days in order to see the
result of some experiments which he had
in progress-in vain. This great philoso-
pher of his day fell an immediate mar
tyr to the political necessities Of the
ruthless tyrant Robespierre. chambers
