that l have seen fish that really did

my latest cruise. 1 had just been or
dered to the ship. The day that l ar
rived my fellow officers said that they
had part Of the crew drawn up Tor re-
volver practice. At the close OF the
practice a volley was fred at an imag-
mary enemy.
Later in the day the officers began
to fish for pleasure, and several fish
were caught. In each of them was
found a bullet from the revolvers that
had been fired that afternoon. OF
course, | snorted at the idea, and asked
why they told such things when there
were no marines on board. They then
said they would try it again. The squad
was brought up and another volley was
fred into the water. We all went to
fishing right away. In less than half
an hour we had two fine bass. Wecut
them open, and there were the bullets
''Of course, saw what had happened.
The bullets were skipping across the
water and finally sank, after having
lost their force. They were bright, and
the fish darted for them as they do for

"Certainly we believe what you have

ELEPHANTS ROLLED ABOARD.
How the Big Beasts Embarked on
Steamboat at q Chicago Wharf.

A group of elephants made up the
cargo which was shipped for Milwau-
kee the other day on the steamer City
of Fremont. 1t is seldom that such !.
consignment of freight is shipped on
the lake boats, and the stevedores do
not banker to handle such shipment.
1t knocks all She poetry out of the life
on the rolling wave to tackle the cir
Gus elephant a.-- -,=. LIN over the
gangplank by the tusks.
There were five elephants in the
party. When they arrived at the docks
the question arose as to how they were
to be loaded. They were too tall to
walk aboard the steamer in the low
gangway, and the sailors were not
husky enough to wheel them on board
Had they been anything but trained
elephants they would have had to swim
to the Cream City or else go by land.
The captain of the steamer was IN
clined to believe that he had contracted
for an impossible undertaking. as the
animals were not sufficiently skillful
to climb . rope ladder to the upper
deck. He was sorely disappointed, as
his ambition had always been to haul a
menagerie out on the pillows, and then
he could use them to trim the vessel
But the trainer was not so easily dis
couraged. He knew his beasts better
than the captain did, and was, there
fore, equal to the occasion. He ordered
the smallest of the troupe to lie down
on the gangplank, and the animal COM
piled without whimper. The ele-
phant was then asked to roll on board,
which command was also obeyed
promptly. The monster brute made
but two revolutions and found himself
bound for Milwaukee.
In telling Of the novel occurrence one
of the dockmen said:
'We got them on board safely by
rolling them down the gangplank, but it
was tight squeeze for the two biggest.
When the steamer felt the weight OF
the elephants on one side she listed
some. but was properly trimmed at
last, when the keeper ordered them to
lie down amidships. They did as they
were bid without making any bones
about it. l suppose they thought they
were going back to Africa. I've seen
horses make more trouble than those
elephants did when being loaded"
When the boat got well under way
and felt the swell of the water as the
east winds blew, the elephants proved
themselves good sailors, and trumpeted
their delight. They looked out at the
broad waste of fseaand sky, and watched
the distant sails with as much interest
as the two-legged passengers above
them did.
The smallest one, however, when the
city had long been left behind, felt
somewhat uneasy. He rubbed his pom
derous stomach with his trunk, and de-
liyered a shrill trumpeting sound,
which drowned out the sound of the big
whistle. lhe captain tried to make q

"Freedom from

In its issue of Febr'y 18th

account of some record
breaking runs on the Bur.
lington Route between Ga

article says in conclusion:
"The Burlipgton's main
line track allows the high
est speed to be made with
remarkable freedom from
oscillation. The train 'purrs'
over the joints with a de-
lightful rythm and the pas
senger seldom realizes that
he is riding at an extra or
dinary gait"
