FERoCIoUs COW ELEPHANT.
She Made Charge on Hunter Eat
ing His Lunch,

From the Ninetce nth Century.
While we were sitting under a shrub,
with our minds set on refreshment, one
OF our hillmen came running ur to say
that an elephant was approaching, and
presently a COW stalked up to within
thirty yards of the tree. We looked at
1t and waved our hands, whereupon
the beast slowly and deliberately
moved off into the grass, which here
was not so tall as it had been below in
the place at which we found the herd.
We Their resumed our interrupted lun-
cheon, and presently the hillman, who
had climbed up to the top of little
tree, said that the elephant was again
approaching, MY companion scram-
bled up into the tree, and I, taking
my eight-bore gun in hand, stood upon
the fork just on a level with the top of
the grass, to see what was happening.
and made out the elephant looking
Curiously at us at a distance of forty
yards on the other side from that on
which she had first appeared. Then
suddenly she was lost behind a little
Clump of trees, and ! looked up and
said: Where is she? l cannot see
her now" But the words had hardly
left my mouth, when, without a mo-
ments warning or a sound, she
charged right up TO us from behind
some trees.
I had hardly time TO cock my gun
and fire both barrels in her face,
which was SO near that the weapon
might have touched it when dis
charged. The fire turned her. but it
was a close call, and in another mo-
ment she would have had me and
would have butted down the little tree.
Elephants will charge anything if they
are thoroughly reused, and think very
little of shaking a pigmy enemy out Of

ARE
RESPONSIBLE.
They Are to Blame For Delay in
the Payment Of SoIdiers---Our
Rights in the Philippines.

Washington. Sept. 21.-The payment or
such soldiers as were not with their
commands when the regiments were
mustered out Is one OF the problems that
have been presented To the war depart
mant. Sometime ago orders wers issued
directing regimental and other COM
manders TO have soldiers on sick leave
or furloughs furnished with descriptive
lists so that they might be paid IL they
were not with their commands. Some
OF the officers have neglected to do this.
Then again cases have arisep where
soldiers have gone into hospitals and
their commands have been transferred
to other camps or home. TO be mustered
out. and nothing was left with the sick
soldiers to identify them for the receipt
OF their pay. An instance of this was
discovered by Secretary Alger in a hos
ptal in Lexington. He telegraphed
Paymaster General Stanton that there
were 80 men in the hospital there who had
not received their pay for July. There
was nothing to identify the men to the
paymaster. as their regimental and com
pany commanders had not furnished
them with any means OF Identification.
that they be paid for July. and will now
undertake To trace their records so as to
keep his accounts straight. Such pay
ment was irregular To some extent, but
General stanton concluded to take
chances. believing that the records OF
the men could be obtained and the
amount paid them charged to them in
the future.
Tuesday several members of Roose-
velt's rough riders were at the depart
pent with a note from Colonel Roose-
welt, asking that the department take
Come steps looking to the payment of the
men and giving them transportation TO
their homes. They were on furlough or
sick leave when the regiment was mus
tered out. They were i'm Santiago when
the former order was issued regarding
the Identification OF the troops on sick
leave or furlough. They returned from
their leaves TO Camp Wikof and found
no regiment TO report to. The soldiers
We're apparently without any status be-
fore the war department. General
Wheeler, did not know what TO do with
them, and Colonel Roosevelt decided to
send them here. At the department
their records were looked up and Stan
ton provided them with papers SO they
could get their pay. These men were
given all that they were entitled to under
the law and sent home.

ONE CRITICISM DISPOSED OF.


Washington, Sept. 2l.-The quarter
masters department of the army. which
Is, among many other charges, desig-
mated to transport troops. has taken
notice of newspaper criticisms upon re-
cent troop movements. and in justice to
the officers who are responsible for these
1t has seen fit to make public the actual
facts. Colonel Bird, in charge OF the
department during General Ludingten's
absence. had his attention drawn par
ticularly to the case of two New York
regiments. the Eighth and Ninth, which
were quartered at Camp nomas. These
troops were returned to their native
state over route that was not as direct
as might have been selected, and con-
sequently they were kept longer on the
road than appeared necessary. For this
the quartermaster's department has
been severely scored. 1t is shown by
Colonel Bird that the New York au-
thorities sent their agents TO the camp
and took the sick men Of those regiments
back to New York. selecting the route
complained OF because II afforded better
facilities for the distribution OF the men
among their homes throughout the state.

INSPECTED A HOSPITAL.

Washington, Sept. 21.-President Nc
Kinley made a personal inspection OF
the hospital in Fort Meyer. Va, Tues
day. Major Davis, the attendants and
patients alike were surprised and graf
ifed, and the president was afforded
every opportunity to make a thorough
examination of the hospital. The pres
ident passed an hour and half in the
various wards and departments OF the
institution. going from cot TO cot and
extending a personal greeting to each
of nearly 400 patients. Major Davis
presonteds each OF the surgeons and
nurses. and subsequently the president
talked informally to the convalescent
patients.
At the conclusion OF the examination
he expressed himself as well satisfied
with the arrangements made for caring
for the sick. but desired II TO be under
stood that the patients were to want for
nothing that would improve their con-
dition or render them more comfortable.

DEVIL AN EARTHLY LANDLORD


There is only one spot on the earth's
surface that has actually been willed,
decided and bequeathed To his satanic
majesty. This spot lies four miles and
a half south of Helsingfors, Finland.
A few years ago Lara Huilariene died
In the little town OF Pielisjarvi, in the
above named country, leaving consider
able property in the shape of landed
estate. How he had come into possess
sion OF so much land no one seemed To
know, but as he was very bad citizen
II was generally admitted that he was
i'm league with wintahausu (satan), and
that they had many business deals with
each other.
This somewhat startling opinion was
a certified warranty deed giving To
satan all his earthly possessions.
The will was 10 the same effect. The
family have repeatedly tried To break
the will, but so Ear have been unsuc-
cessful. Thus the records plainly show
that his sulphuric majesty has a legal
right and title 10 some excellent
grounds i'm the near vicinity OF Hell
singfors.
The simple people of the neighborhood
have changed the course OF the road
which formerly skirted the Hullariene
homestead, and declare that they would
not enter the possession OF Satan a Co.
for all the money that the three estates
would bring.-Pearson's Journal.

After the review. Secretary Alger
made a short address to the soldiers,
admonishing them to be stropg in their

the government had always done and
would continue to do all in its power

citizens, instead of finding fault with
the government. should lend their coun-
try their assistance by helping the
soldiers all they could This senti-
ment was cheered. The secretary was
glad to say that he had heard excellent
reports from the citizens of Lexington
along this line. and he wanted to thank
them for the great good they had done
In furnishing so many delicacies free of
charge to the sick and for refusing to
