RIGA very long when I found out that
the elephant played second fiddle. We
were hiding at a water hole one day TO
watch the direction taken by troop of
nine elephants who We're loafing about.
They were not ready to go when pun
rhinoceros appeared on path about ~
rods away.
Soaring a Herd of Elephants.
He stood in the open and took long
survey of the elephants. AS they caught
sight of him they crowded together as if
alarmed, but it never occurred to me
that they would shirk a fight. The rhi-
nocerous got ready after a bit, and with
a loud snort he came charging down.
Among the nine was an elephant al
most as big as Jumbo-a phenomenon
among African elephants. The rhinoc-
eros made directly for the big fellow,
and he struck him on the left shoulder
and knocked him into the pool and then
fell over him. The sight of those two
big beasts wallowing about in the water
was the funniest thing I ever witnessed.
All the other elephants ran away at
once. and, though the big fellow ought
to have been able to do up pair of rhi-
noceroses, he ran away from this one.
He got several bad digs from the horn
before he could escape, and as he went
up the path he was closely pursued.
On one occasion we had captured
cub lion in a pit, and were engaged in
getting him into a cage. Within half
mile of our camp a lion. a lioness and
a cub had lain up in a thicket for the
day. Our captive was of this family,
and his loss must have put them in
fighting mood. A roaming rhinoceros
got their scent and our people at camp
saw him charge into the thicket. There
was row as he uncovered the lions,
| and five minutes later he emerged in
chase of the lioness and the cub, while
I the lion was on his back and seeking to
claw him. He brushed his rider off
against limb, and then drove the three
far out of the neighborhood.-

SMOKING DOES LITTLE HARM.

From the Practice.

Some People Derive Relative Benefit
From the Practice.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
After referring to the fact that Co
lumbus not only discovered America,
but also the practice of smoking TO-
bacco, a writer in a medical journal
says: Since that time the habit OF
using the weed has spread with al
most incredible rapidity to every land
and people of the world, so that now
one might divide the inhabitants of
any land into three classes: First and
most numerous, those who use tobacco
in judicious amounts; second, those
who use tobacco to excess, and, third,
those who use it not at ALL
Among European nations the Meth
erlands claims the first place, the
quantity used annually per inhabitant
being $50 pounds; next comes the
United States with "A and Germany
with three pounds. The anti-tobacco
faction is a fairly active minority, as
is evidenced by the fact that there is
to be a congress of the anti-tobacco
societies of various lands next year in
Paris. q
1.-The question suggests itself not
alone to non-users Of tobacco, but to
every thoughtful mind: Why this
consumption of such enormous quanti-
ties Of tobacco?' No one has ever
answered this question to the entire
satisfaction of everyone Interested and
perhaps no one will for a time, but the
weed certainly seems to satisfy the
physiologic need in certain conditions
Of the system, for persons who are un-
able to smoke at certain times can
do so with pleasure and benefit at some
other period in their lives, as was the
case with Huxley. Certainly no habit
is SO common or SO generally harm
less.
Comparatively few use tobacco in
such excess as to suffer bad effects, no
doubt fewer than suffer from the over
use of coffee and tea, and infinitely
fewer than those who suffer from over
eating, while numbers will testify to
the pleasure which they experience
from its use. No one will question the
harmfulness of the use Of tobacco by
the young or in excessive amounts, par
ticularly with nervous people. Neither
is smoking to be advocated at all times
and in all places, everyone dislikes
those who go about with their breath
and clothes saturated with the foul
odors of bad tobacco, who puff smoke
in everybody's face in the street and
fill every room and house with a stale

MARSH WAS DISCHARGED
All the Witnesses Against Him
Have Disappeared.
HAVE GONE TO SCOTLAND
He Was to Have Been Tried for Grand
Larceny, but the Case Was Dis
missed-Ths Joneses Had
Family Troubles

The prosecuting witnesses against
Burt Marsh the police court lawyer
who was to have been tried in the dis
trict court yesterday on the charge of
grand larceny, have disappeared and
when the case was called County At
torney Connolly was compelled to dis
miss it and Marsh was discharged.
Mr.. Connolly stated to the court that
the sheriffs return on the subpoenas
showed that Thomas Jones and his
wife, the two missing witnesses. had
purchased two tickets for Scotland
some months ago and the reasonable
superstition was that they were now
on the other side of the water. Marsh
had a preliminary hearing a long time
ago, his attorney being q. S. Booth, and
he was bound over to the district court
A few weeks later Jones and his wife
disappeared.
Jones and his wife, during their resi-
dence in Butte, had more or less trouble
around their family fireside. Jones once
accused his wife with being too init
mate with one Thomas Fisher and a
few days later when he found Fisher in
the house with Mrs. Jones he threw him
out through a window. That, however,
did not discourage Fisher very much
and some time afterward he invited
Mrs. Jones to take buggy ride with
him. She accepted and the two had a
good time until their horse ran away.
smashed up the buggy AND dumped
them out on their heads. Both were
severely injured and for time Mrs.
Jones was not expected to recover, but
she did and then her husband, who
had paid her hospital and doctors bills,
| went to Lawyer Marsh and had him
bring suit against Fisher for 5000 dam
ages, that being the sum he paid out
| on his wife's account. Marsh attached
some money which Fisher had in a
| bank, and Fisher, not knowing any
| thing about law and wishing to get out
of the scrape with as little publicity as
| possible, went to Marsh and settled the
Affair with him by paying him 5000.
| Marsh, so the prosecution claims, rep
resented to Jones that he had settled
for $100, of which he retained $40 for
! his fees and paid $50 over to Jones as
balm for his wounded feelings and ito
partially reimburse him for the money
| he paid out on doctors bills. Later Mrs
| Jones again met Fisher and learned
| from him that he had paid Marsh 5000
| She told her husband and Jones and
Fisher and Mrs. Jones got their heads
together and then called on the county
attorney and told their troubles to him.
| The result was a complaint against
Marsh charging him with grand lar
| ceny of $100. He was arrested and had
| preliminary trial, as stated; was
bound over to the district court and
then Jones and his wife found it to
their interest, or to the interest of their
| health, to take trip to their old home
in Scotland And there they are; the
| story Is ended and there you are.

REAL KING Of BEASTS
Rhinoceros Most Difficult of All
Animals to Capture.
LIONS AND ELEPHANTS
Always Eager to Give Him Wide Berth
Stronger in Proportion to Bulk Than
Any Other Brute-Experiences
OF a Hunter

l have helped to capture six African
rhinoceroses, and 1 believe that all of
them are yet alive and serving their
purposes in circuses and zoos. l have
seen herd of 20 wild elephants driven
into an Enclosure and made captive al
most without trouble. I have trapped
four and five lions and tigers in a week,
for wolvesand hyenas, they can be
caught as readily as fish. It's when you
tackle a rhinoceros that you tackle bus
mess. It's worry and work and danger
from the moment you set about 1t. I am
talking about the one-horned black
ated him she gave him more strength
according to bulk than any other ami
NAL on earth. She gave him an abund-
ance of muscle and but few nerves. He
has a hide almost bullet proof, a vision
like a hawk a sense of hearing as keen
as a fox, and his courage is really sub
lime.
You may add to all that that the rhi-
noceros is always mad. The fiercest of
other beats have their good-natured
hours, but this fellow always has a chip
on his shoulder. Nothing is too big or
too small for him to charge. He'll turn
on steam and go crashing through the
bushes after jackal at any time, and
an hour later will charge into herd of
elephants or scatter a family of lions.
1t is agreed by all men who have
studied him that he Is totally without
fear. If he ever runs away from any,
thing 1t is through mistake. But for two
defects in his physical makeup he'd
soon exterminate all other animals in
Africa. His range of vision is like that
of a whale-dead ahead-and he is so
| bulky for his size that he can't turn,
except in a considerable circle.

The city attorney then introduced tes-

The first witness for the defendants
was A. F. Bray, who said that Mr..
Cook called to see him once or twice
about signing an indemnity bond to the
city and that he finally agreed to do so
in the event that Mr. Oppenheimer
would also become surety.
