Chase by Moonlight In South Africa
Something Like n Coon Hunt.


In the Adirondacks, in Maine or in
Canada, wherever the American por-
cupine Is found, il is not sought by
hunters AS game beast, although
hunters seldom fail to kill porcupines
at every opportunity because of the
damage they do TO dogs. On the other
hand, from Boover Wei, near Yelling
ton, Cape Colony, South Africa, Walter
III. Gerard writes to the London Field
to tell how he hunted the porcupine
with dogs, after the fashion of coon
hunters, by moonlight
The party included parson and u
magistrate, "a banker and landowner.
The dogs trailed IA porcupine, came up
with il, and bit it. The foolish dogs bit
the quills, but the smart ones seized the
nose. When the quills had been removed
from the foolish dogs noses, the hunt
went ON. The next head of game sighted
was huge pig, which was chased until
it took To burrow. Another porcupine
was soon after sighted. This porcupine
was IA large female, and led the hunters
u regular coon chase before she died.
The hunters We're then seven miles from
home, and il was 80 u. III. and the
branches were thick with dew that
trickled down their necks and soaked
them from shoe leather to head cover
ing. But after awhile they got home
and sat down to mess of savory satia-
ties of Malay connections.
The porcupine hunters didn't know
A
would enjoy South African porcupine
hunt by moonlight with pack OF un-
calmly mongrels, and the porcupine
hunters would appreciate harvest
moon coon hunt.

A Novel Advertising Scheme.

An ingenious German bicycle manu-.
facturer has invented the following dc
vice as an advertising scheme: Hc rs
published notice in the daily pres,
according 20 which he promises to give
high grade machine and bicycling
suit to any one who pays | cent spot
cash but. according to the agreement,
the purchaser must pay for two weeks
the double of the amount that had BEN
paid the preceding day. IL is but SIM
pie problem in arithmetic to discover
that at the end Of two weeks the bicycle
and suit will have cost something over
$16O.
Ingenious advertisements, as will be
seen, are not confined exclusively to the
United States Exchange.

"WIioai"

The word "whoa, used in calling on
"A horse to stop, is merely a variant and
emphatic form of "ho, formerly used
in the same sense. This is easily proved,
for Chaucer has "ho" in the sense of
halt" ("Canterbury Tales"). When
King Edward ~ had to use this
exclamation. he actually turned il into
'whoo " Then the kyng, perceyving
;he cruell assaille (onset), cast his staff,
and, with high voice, cried whooi"
