A Fish wife Serge.
In the event of your deciding upon the
one suit, by all means select your goods
of the tough, pickly, handsome Scotch fish
wife serge. 1t is SO wide and staunch and
sheds water like ducks back, though 1t
is not made water proof, and therefore hot
and heavy. About the hips, according 10 the

inside of the hip, the pocket-slips in. The
pockets though, as we see them in the mic
est skirts, are small reinforced pockets of
SILK serge, just large enough TO hold a WO-
mans handkerchief and her caddy fee;
a big pocket is clumsy and encourages use
less stufiing with various properties that
bulge.
Costume in Five Pieces.
A complete golfng suit consists of five
pieces. and hence an excuse for the big
pieces some tailors ask skirt, shirt,
waistcoat, coat and cape is the fun golfng
equipment for 80. The skirt coat and
cape should be cut from one piece, the
waistcoat ought TO show gay plaid fronts
on an equally gay silk back, and the shirt
is any cotton you please.
A number OF English women have set
the fashion, OF dofling the coat or cape
on the green, and playing In shirt sleeves
and Waistcoat, and very often the waist
coat is a flaming hunters pink or dazzling
meadow green cashmere with rows of gilt
buttons down the front and a gilt buckle
In the strap behind. Such waistcoats, of
course, have no sleeves and are low cut
In front, to enable envious admirers to
relish the color of the smart shirt waist I'M

coat is so prominently involved, to carry

THE BOY AND TIE SPARROW.

Once a sweet boy sat and swung on limb.
On the ground sat a sparrow-bird looking
at him:
Now the boy he was good, but the sparrow
was bad,
So it SHE'D big stone at the head OF the
lad,
And it killed the poor boy. and the sparrow
was glad.
Then the little boys mother flew over the
trees
TELL me, where is my little boy, sparrow
bird, please?''
He is safe in my pocket" the sparrow
bird said,
And another stone SHE'D at the fond moth
er's head,
And she fell at the feet of the wicked bird.

And / totted it down as 1t really occurred.

RACE WITH ELEPHANT.
Hunter In the African Wflds Saved
His Life by Outwitting His
Pnchyderm Pursuer.

Only those familiar with the man
ners and customs" of the elephant have
any idea what nimble creature it real
ly is. Massive and slow-footed as it
looks, it is capable, when reused, of
feats that would be difficult for much
fleeter animals. Especially is this the
case with African elephants, which, al
though taller, are generally lighter
than their Asiatic brethren. Moreover,
accustomed for ages to lead wild life
and often depending on their alertness
and speed of foot for their very exist
ence, they have acquired skill in
gymnastics which has occasionally
taken even old elephant hunters by sur
prise.
In illustration of this fact we are re-
minded of story told by one of the
noble army of British sportsmen in
Africa. He was 'out after elephants"
and had just fired a. and wounded
magnificent specimen. Unfortunately
for him, he had only succeeded in
slightly wounding it, when, Infatuated
by the attack, it turned and charged
its enormous ears spread out like sails
and emitting shrill notes of rage, it
came laundering over the ground like
runaway locomotive. The hunter
fred another shot, but missed; his
nerve was shaken. and, throwing down
his express rifle, he sought safety in
fight. Near at hand was a steep hill
l. Il Oh
being but slightly acquainted with the
climbing powers of the elephant, he
thought his pursuer might be batlled
by the steepness of the ascent 1t was
a terrible disappointment to find that
the elephant could climb hill just
as quickly as the hunter, nimble run
ner that he was.
The fugitive, indeed, would have soon
been overtalsen if he had not thought
of a really ingenious ruse. He knew
that elephants never run nor even walk
down steep incline, but always crouch
down, gathering their feet well to-
gether, lean well back and slide down.
Just as the ferocious animal had got
within few yards of him, therefore,
the willy hunter suddenly doubled and
ran down the hill again Quick as
fash the elephant turned gathered
himself together and, trumpeting with
baffied rage, slid down after his victim.
The hunter had just time to spring out
of the way as the great beast came
"tobogganing" after him, smashing
trees and shrubs and carrying every
thing before him like an avalanche.
Then once more the hunter dashed to
the top of the hill, while the elephant,
unable to stop itself, went careening
down TO the very foot, where, apparent
ly feeling very sore and disappointed,
it rose and walked YEARLY back to it's
native woods.-Chums

his tail at the critical moment when
Billy was training every nerve to re-
main balanced. So the young dog
would blink and look almost fearful
and at last give a yelp and start on
wild race for the end of his tail, which
lodged him and darted from him in
manner most provoking. You see, his
tail had been bitten off in his infancy
and was a bit too stubby for con-
venience. Then came learning to jump
through and over arms to get piece of
meat or biscuit Of course this was fun
and easily learned.
And so Billy's education went on. He
learned to "speak" when told to do so,
and finally became SO proficient in
speaking that he adopted the habit of
calling for his bed Tan old coat which
was laid on the sofa) at night. He has
learned to act the part OF judge, and

If the cat can be found Billy is also
an expert hunter and obeys sign signals

is great ratter and mouser and has
learned to adopt the cats methods and
wait for his prey to come out of ITS hole.
Then he waits for his victim to get
some distance away from the hole be-
fore, undertaking to make capture.
He learned this method by sad expert
ence, for at first he would jump at the

That afternoon Sandy Movie and his
son, stout lad of is, paid visit to the
church. Archie, the son, came out,

1t was about half-past four o'clock on
the morning of the Fourth when the
three boys unlocked the church door.
1t was very quiet for Fourth of July

WISE WISCONSIN DOG.
He Knows Many Things and Can Put
His knowledge to Really
Practical Use.

Nearly everybody in Waupun, Wis,
knows Billy" He is a very unpreten-
tious citizen, trotting around town
dressed in the Same threadbare white
suit almost daily, but he has reputa-
ton for being great fighter when
aroused, and those who know him best
say he is the cleverest as well as the
most rational dog in that part of the
country. He is an inmate of the state
prison, being an assistant in the med
zeal department. Some persons init
mate that Billy spends most of his time
in and about the medical department.
because, being a dog, he finds much en-
tertainment in studying the great va
riety of druggy odors there. AS mat
ter of fact Billy belongs to DR.. G. +.
Messer, the head of the medical depart
ment, and is devoted to his MASTER to
whom he owes most of his superior edu-
cation.
When Billy first made the acquaint-
ance of the doctor he the dog) was
simply an uneducated, sprawl-legged
bull terrier, with certain pride of an
cestry that gave a superior tip to his
ears and an exceptional fineness to his
hair. Like other youngsters whom l
might name, Billy, at this period of his
career, believed that life and happiness
did and of right ought to consist in
chewing most anything that looked
like food. in chasing chickens and other
birds till he was so tired that he sunk to
rest IA the nearest sunny dust heap and
in appropriating the softest and coolest
cushioned chair in the house.
Then came that troublesome going
to school, that youngsters usually
loathe In their secret hearts. First Biz

This used to make his back ache, and
