Killing an Elephant.

fly careful maneuvering, we had sur
rounded the elephant, and he finally turned
at bay upon a rocky place where there
were n few small trees. He was II monster
and it was plain he meant to make saw
age fight | was for putting a ball into
him without delay, but Bongo counseled
against it, saying the report of the gun
might bring the Obbos down upon us ia
carry away the game.
Bongo was on foot, and he carried q
keen, heavy sword, with which he pro
posed to dispatch the great beast. How
he was to accomplish this was something
l could not understand, but he directed
me to take position where ! could wit
ness every movement.
Bongo then hid himself behind some
rocks, having first made a signal to Yin
jail, who was mounted on fine tempered,
fiery little black mare. Zinjal was quite
unarmed, but he did not hesitate to ride
directly toward the waiting elephant, and
the huge animal instantly faced him,
prepared for rush
The mare was admirably trained and
she slowly moved toward the colossus,
apparently understanding just what was
required of her and Just how perilous her
situation was. She advanced until within
10 yards of the waiting monster, and
then, all of sudden, wild cry came
from Zinjal's throat. At that instant, the
elephant charged.
thought horse and rider would be
crushed, but the little mare leaped away
like flash, and Zinjal chung leechlike to
her bare back, while, uttering mad cries,
the elephant pursued. His trunk was
suspended in the air almost over Zinjal 8
head, and his jaws were wide open. A
light that was perfectly fiendish showed in
his small black eyes.
Zinjal's horsemanship was superb, as h
managed to keep just out of the ele
plants reach, thus Turing the doomed
monster on. Straight past the rocks
where Bongo lay concealed flashed the
horse, and | saw the black, muscular fig
ure of the hunter gathered for the leap, the
hilt of the heavy sword grasped in both
hands.
AS the elephant passed, Bongo sprang
out, his weapon Kissing through the air
it's keen edge striking the monsters leg
about foot from the ground, sinking
through flesh and tendon TO the bone.
In moment, the charge of the elephan,
was checked, for one foot was quite use
less. 1t wheeled to get at Bongo, but tn,
man with the sword had vanished amid
the rocks. Then Zinjal sent the mare al
most under the elephants nose, attract
ing the monsters attention long enough
| for BongO TO dart out and deliver blow
at the other leg.
1t was death stroke, for the main ar
terry was severed and the blood spurteC

Relatively the Nicaragua Canal is

increase this ports shipping and the
business of the country. The matter
has been discussed i'm this paper sew
eral times. There are number of
considerations that will bear repeti-
ton. The first appreciable or direct
advantage of the Canal to the Islands
would be an enormous enlargement
of the tourist travel. New York yacht
men who are now compelled to hug
the Atlantic coast or cruise in the mild
waters of the Mediterranean, would
sail through the canal and into the
friendly Pacific to Hawaii. Many of
the magnates would have residences
here. They would put piles of for
eign money into circulation. 4 mar
velous growth of commerce would be
witnessed. \ considerable portion
would be to Honolulu and the port
would become one of the most noted
way stations in the world. There
would then only be needed to make
the Islands of the first Importance in
every way, the coveted cable. This
latter is certainly in fair prospect. The
picture of distress given by the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce on
account of the absence of the canal OF
its failure to materialize does not in
any manner sketch the situation here
but Hawaii will gladly do all she can
to help herself and the friendly Cal.

that it had best be confined to the
circle that can afford it. Hawaii's eli

This is hot weather, food
spelling weather, unless the
proper attention is given
to refrigerator suggestions.
There's all sorts of devices
for keeping food fresh, good,
bad or Indifferent. Some of
the named refrigerators are no
better than dry goods boxes;
the lining is not right and the
system of draught and air cir
culation is defective.
In the United States there
were complaints against the
Quincy, complaints we had
not heard of here. When we
were at the Coast a few weeks
ago, we took the trouble to
investigate and learned that
the objections were all right,
but they were against the
Quincy Challenge refrigera-
tor and not the Quincy Clean

We sell the Cleanable;
were appointed sole agents for
the Hawaiian Islands and we
don't sell any other. The
Quincy Cleanable is lined
with mineral wood, the great

science; the Quincy Challenge
| is lined with charcoal and is a
cheap combination that is un-
servicable.
