ELEPHANT CURIOSITY.
An Animal Which Stands with Its Feet
Embedded In Rocks,

An Animal Which Stands with Its Feet
Embedded In Rocks.
On the Miles Wilbur farm, less than
two miles from Palmyra, Wis, nearly
midway between Bald bluff and the
Curelian spring, on wild, rocky hill
side of the Kettle range of bluffs may
be found huge rock known far and
near as the "stone elephant.
1t is annually visited by large num-
bers of people, some of whom pronounce
it petrified elephant of monster size,
but the theory most generally believed
is that it was hewed out of the solid
rock in which 1t seemed imbedded cen
turtles ago by some prehistoric race.
AS If to substantiate this latter theory,
from time to time many valuable tools,
relics and implements unknown to the
people of this age have been found about
It's base and in that immediate vicinity.
1t is about 30 feet long, 8 or 8 feet high.
of dark gray color and weighs hun
dreds of tons. The body only is above
the level of the ground, its legs being
deeply sunk below, holding 1t firmly in
a standing position.
A tradition believed by many is that
around this huge stone the Indians
gathered to offer sacrifice to the Great
Spirit and burn their prisoners at the
stake or make them the victims of slow
torture known only to the Indians. 1t
is long established aud generally be-
lieved theory that in this Immediate vi
cinity and about Bald bluff and the big
spring were some of their most famous
battlefields and hunting grounds. -Bos-

REMARKABLE SHOOTING.
Killing Four Caribous Out of Five at Long

Killing Four Caribous Out of Five at Long
Distances.
A party of four of us left Bath for the
upper part of Maine for four days
hunting trip There was one man among
us, Orderly Sergeant Richardson, U. S.
A., at Fort Popham, Me-, still in the
service. On the third morning three of
us-the sergeant another and myself
left camp together in search of game.
the snow falling thick, but calm; no
wind. We had not gone more than
mile from camp when we saw on the
next ridge "a hillside) five oaribous
standing in such an open place that it
was almost impossible to get nearer to
them without being seen. After wait
of some time for them to change their
position, that we might advance and get
a shot of more certainty, our silence
was broken by the sergeant's remark
that he had killed deer as far away as
that, and thought he could kill one of
these.
We all agreed to let him take a shot
and estimated the distance at 500 yards.
When he got in his position, which he
calls the Texas grip, and selecting the
one on the right told us to look out for
him, at the crack of his rife, to my
great surprise. down came the animal
with his back broken. The others, being
bewildered, ran in circle like, coming
to standstill somewhat nearer to US
all hands estimated 400 yards. Again
he selected the one on the right, and at
the crack of the gun again the animal
dropped, shot through the heart. The
other three leaped off in another direc-
ton, as we estimated, 600 yards. Then
the sergeant adjusted his sights to that
distance, and to my great surprise he
killed the third one. The other two sep
arated and one of them came back near
to the first one that was shot, when he
stood broadside to us, and the sergeant
fred, but shot low and broke both front
legs just above the knee After little
skirmishing about in the brush we
found him, and one more shot from the
old springfield rifle, with the sergeant
behind it, gave us four out of five Carl
bous and only five shots fred, and by only
one man at that. We went into camp
with flying colors and were the center
of attraction that evening.
One of the party inquired of the SER
geant where he had obtained such prof.
cheney in craftsmanship, when he pulled
his coat open and exhibited a splendid
gold badge from the army, distin-
guished marksman's medal, won by
him in 1889 in the division competition
of the army, department of the east
Our party were on this hunt for several
days and killed six deer, two elks and
four oaribous of which Sergeant Rich
ardson killed four caribous, three deer
and one elk, and he killed them all over
800 yards, except one deer, which he
shot on the run and about $50 yards
distance, breaking its neck.-J. S.
Jones, U. S. A., Retired, in Army and
Navy Journal.

mr.. staybolt Considers Man as Built lyon
a Compartment Plan.

mr.. StaybOlt Considers Man as Built lyon
a Compartment Plan.
"Man is, as one might say, said Mr..
Staybolt built IN series of compart-
ments, though he may not know this
fact at the outset, and he may indeed
go through life and die without know
ing it, taking with him unused stocks
of ability and strength that he had
never known he possessed simply be-
cause they were never brought into
play AS to what will bring their quail
tiles into play men differ There are
some few men who command them
selves, and some who open at touch,
and then there are many who respond
only to the most urgent call But there
are few men who cannot in some way
be moved to action.
"This brings me, for illustration, to
a brief consideration of the personal
quality commonly denominated as sand,
Of which, imagine, most of us possess
far more than we suspect for there are
few men who finally run away-mighty
few who will not stand up and fight
when they feel that they are really call
ed upon. But our sand is in compart-
ments, and most of us I fancy, open
only one and make that last through
life, and we die without knowing how
brave we are unless some great occa-
sion, independent of ourselves, opens
another compartment and shows us
what we really have i'll reserve. I might
add that there are few if any revela-
tionU shat come to us in life that give
us greater pleasure or more enlarge our
horizon
"The moral of all this is that in our
good qualities we should trust ourselves
without hesitation. There are qualities,
which will easily suggest themselves,
which it would be better to leave I'M
used, better for ourselves and for every
body else if the compartments contain
ing them were never opened, but as to
such qualities as pluck, endurance, en-
ergy, capacity and moral strength we
should call upon ourselves freely. We
should not take down with us as other
wise we are almost certain to do, stores
Of these valuable qualities untouched.
but rather we should draw upon them
now and constantly and confidently, and
SO doing we shall be gratiied with our
constant growth in strength and more
than gratifed with the attending sub
stantial rewards. New York Sun.
