HUNTING THE RHlNocERos
Experiences of Nimrod Who Has killed
Forty-four of Them.


Forty-four OF Them.
Every hunter has his own ideas of sport,
and Colonel Pollok takes pains to say in
his Fifty Years "reminiscences of India
that he considers rhinoceros shooting a
tame pastimc. He says he has killed A
with his own gun and helped to dispatch
fully 60 moro. He tolls of one occasion
when two of tho beasts came charging ut
him, open 1nouthed, and when he dropped
both with right and left shots from his
double barrelcd riflo much as IL they had
been rabbits. But for all his skill as II
crack shot Colonel Pollok would probably
speak differently if his hunting We're not
done from tho back OF an elephant
Even from the comparative security of
howdnh the sport is not always as tame as
tho blasc colonel would have us believe.
Here is ono of his experiences:
Without tho slightest warning heard
movement in the grass, and close to me
appeared the form of n rhinoceros. TIo was
In heavy grass and did not present vul-
ncrable spot for certain shot, but Bowio
and fired almost together. There was a
squcal and IL hcadlong charge at1pe. My
elephant, Lutchmee, generally statlch, took
to her heels madO the rhinoceios shake
his head Mt the visitations he received from
my heavy weapons, and he then went for
b., whose elephant did not wait for the on
slaught, but boltcd through tangled
brake, upsctting BIS guns and all but
causing the howdah to be dragged off by
the pendent vines Sho did not stop until
shc got to the bed of considerable stream,
whence she was taken with great Difficulty
back to the camp.
~ got Lutchmco turned round and went
back, but the rhinoccros, though bleeding.
had gone fully two miles before came
upon him. Here he essnyed to fight again,
though he would have had no chance If my
elephant had remained steady, but sho
WAS very fractions that day, and it was
only by taking snap shots that mortally
wounded the foo mt last. Ho turned and
ran into heavy grass and his stcrtorous
breathing soon proclaimed that all was
over"
On another occasion Colonel Pollok en-
countcrcd rhinoceros, when his rifle I'M
expeotcdly missed fire several times. His
elephant began precipitatc retreat.
~ dropped the breechloader, says tho
colonel, land soized my trusty two groove
muzzlo loader. Leaning over tho bnck seat,
/ took II snap shot downward. To shoot
otherwise was impossible Mt the racing
speed we wero going, and only man
long accustomed to an elephants back
coulu nave Ircu mt all, but had almost
lived on elephants, had acquired tho neces-
sary swaying of tho body to balance my
self and could generally hit II moderate
sized mark ut short distances without re-
quiring my beast to halt.
GAS the mouth of the rhinoceros was
not a foot from my beasts quarter was
afraid sho would DO cut and ruined for life
But my aim was truo. caught my pur-
sucr just at the junction of the head and
neck, and over he went, squealing fear

OF the TWO who had been behind, said:

replied That had no such sum. Wo

II Is true that had $4,000, but I put it
into an envelope and mailed it to myself
at that big box back there. Ono Of your
party was kind enough to give mo the
pencil with which wrote tho address"
Then said to them: "Gentlemen, If
you want that money, go and get 1t out of

get me out Of the way''
Then one Of the follows said: s.What's

and went on home.

Listen to this thrilling anecdote of
King Theebaw's household arrange
ments:
King Theebaw's palace ut Manlalay
has been turned into an mp to date"
club. Tho audience chamber, with tho
golden throne i'll it, has been portioned
out for lady members. All the walls are
gold leafed, and golden pillars support
the roof. Yet near the door is such n
weird mark of former days that 1 think
most Of us would prefer tho less mag
nificent surroundings of our own clubs
without envy. 1t is the red mark of n
murdered woman's hand.
Once tho king, in the days of his
prime, took fancy to beautiful young
Mongolian and insisted on bringing her
as an attendant to his court. His vito
grew madly jealous, and with the fierce
temper of her race stabbed the unfor-
tunate girl in the audience chamber be-
fore the assembled court. AS she fell
her hand, covered with blood, clutched
the wall, and for some reason or other
no one has obliterated the mark. New

A Story of a Manuscript.

A Story is told of a certain southern
author who had a manuscript accepted
by northern periodical that only pays
on publication, but he has never had
the pleasure of seeing his production i'll
print. Finally he went north, and, get,,
ting hard up, called OH the editor, who
would neither return his manuscript noiE
guarantee him a day of publication Hd
repaired to his hotel and wrote tho edi-
tor threatening letter, in which no
mentioned pistols and coffee, etc. Short
ly after no was arrested and taken to
the station house, where he remained
all night. The next morning he sent the
following message to the editor:
Il didn't know the rules up here.
For heavens sake. come down and pny
my fine and take the manuscript us Sc
curity."
Tho editor was unmoved by this APP
peal and replied briefly:
we cannot violate the rules of our
office. We will pay your fine when we
publish your story. We wish you we'll. I"

Kato Greenaway, tho famous English

long time unknown until tho publica-

The Boya' March In the Grant Parade.
Kate Greenaway ut Home-The
Song Of Shell by the Sea-

Young folks all over the land ought
to be proud Of the fact that on the occa-
sion of the Grant parade III New York
city, one of the sections Of the process
sion which excited much attention and
praise was that in which the boys pa
raded, and especially the division in
which cadets and boys from military
schools marched. Tho Great Round
World says:
This division was greeted with great
enthusiasm all along the line, and we'll
it might be. TIE soldierly make up of
these lads was sight to see, and their
discipline and marching were unsur-
passed by any of the troops, regulars or
militia. The boys walked with q spring
ing step that showed no signs Of fatigue
even as they rounded the reviewing
stand, and reached the goal of their long
march.
Among the many we'll drilled COM
panies of boy soldiers marched one of
artillery. This was perhaps the prettiest
feature of tho whole parade, for every
thing was in miniature, to match tho
size of the small artillerymen.
The fieldpiece which this company
boosted was u tiny affair, drawn by
two small ponies, and it had its two
baby gunners to servo il. These gun
ners were very military babies. They
sat bolt upright, their arms crossed on
their fat little chests in true soldier
fashion, and no jolting of tho gun car
riage could make those little backs bend
nor those small arms unfold
There was also company Of naval
cadets. These lads marched finely, with
their cutlasses drawn and held across
their breasts. So steadily did they
grasp their weapons that it was hard to
believe that they were held in place by
nothing stronger than the will of these
young heroes.
In every company that marched past
the lads showed a pride and steadiness
that made one think that this boy sol
diering was going to be of tho greatest
service to them later in life.
Boys are not rs q rule noted fsr their
neatness, and there arc hosts OF fine
lads who find it hard to remember that
clean hands and collars are among the
necessary things of life. Knowing this
so well, it was all the moro remarkable
that i'll all the long line of parading ca
diets there was not SO much as q rebel
lious lock of hair visible.
The boys from tho public schools also
marched splendidly, with fine bearing
and excellent discipline. And what a
fine looking set of boys they werel They
had no uniforms or guns to help their
appearance, nothing but their own
bright faces to show them off.
Young America showed to very great
advantage i'll the Grant parade, which

The Candle Thief.

An odd experience befell Mr.. Hunter
during his return from hunting trip
to the settlement last fall. One evening
he left candle burning OH tho table in
tho Forty nine Mile camp while he
Went out to tho hovel to look after his
horses. TO his surprise when he re-
turned to tho camp the candle was not
only eXtinguished but could nowhere be
found. Mr.. Hunter is not entirely free
from the influence of those wild, weird
legends peculiar to the bacl1woods of the
Miramichi, especially those that relate
to fabulous monster known as '.the
Dungarvon Hooper," He lit another
candle, however, and again went out to
attend to his team. When ho came back
to the camp ho found that the second
candle had vanished as mysteriously as
the first. This was II severe blow to Mr..
Hunters peace of mind, but he pulled
himself together and examined the camp
thoroughly to sec if some practical joker
was not concealed about the premises.
Finding no trace of anything in human
form, he placed his third and last can
die on tho table, stood his nx within
easy reach and awaited developments.
In few minutes q flying squirrel hop
ped i'll the door, boldly mounted the
table and knocked over tho candle, thus
eXtinguishing the flame. He started for
tho door with his booty, when Mr.,
Hunter took Il hand i'll it and put the
little rascal to flight. Fredericton On.

Headquarters For women.

No little interest has been aroused by
womnn's project for 30 story build
ing to be erected i'll New York as u
sort of headquarters for the women of
tho metropolis and of America. The
idea, explains The Puritan, is to have
Building where women can find offices,
shops and all the conveniences they re-
quire, such as Turkish baths, hair
dressers, dressmakers. milliners, mani
cures, doctors and lawyers. One of the
features will be clearing house or reg
istration bureau for all women's clubs,
local, national or international, There
will also be a theater, restaurant,
largo and small clubrooms and halls
for dances and receptions. 1t is said
that plans for the building have been
drawn by woman, and the architects
chosen to superintend its erection are
two graduates of the School of Applied
Design For Women.

And twas heard to remark:

Place mo close to your car,
And u wonderful song
You shall certainly hcarI"
ThcreuPon n wee mail
Took tho shell in her hand,
For it's language, it seems,
Sho could quito understand
To her car placed it close,
And had not to whit long
Fro she certainly heard
A most wonderful songi
For it sang OF the deep,
So cnpacious and dim;
OF tho strange sort of fish
That there gambol and swimi
OF the beautiful fow'rs
That grow under tho sea,
Quite as lovely us those
In Il garden could Dol
And it sang of the gold
And the jewels that lay
Where untouched they had lain
For full many u day!
OF tho divers who strove
The rich store to regain, e
And how often they found
All their efforts in vaini
OF tho mermaids it sang
Who oft sit upon rocks,
Singing songs of delight
Whilst arranging their locksI
or son monsters so grim,
And sen scrpents as we'll.
These and many moro themes
Formed the song of the she'll!
Then the wee maiden cried
AS the shell sho threw down:
II am truly most glad
That i live in town,
For to dwell in the deep
1t most dreadful must bel
Oh, those monsters so grim!"
