Big BUSINESS IN SIGHT.
Bright Prospects in Store for the Santa FL
Railway.

President Ripley, Of the Santa Fe, re
Gently remarked that prospects for the
road this fall were never so bright in all
the roads history. There is more
freight in sight along the line than evel
before. In Oklahoma and Kansas the
corn crop is simply enormous. In the
latter state the yield is estimated al
$50, 0OO, 900 bushels, and 1t may 60 over
that. The wheat crop was not good,
but the corn will more than make up
for 1t. We are preparing to do q
tremendous business in shipping feed
ers from Texas, New Mexico and Ari-
ona to the corn fields of Oklahoma and
Kansas, to be fattened for the Kansas
City and Chicago markets. Requests
for cars are coming in now for future
shipments, and It will be the busiest fall
in the history Of the road"

RACE WITH ELEPHANT.
Hunter in the African Wilds Saved
His Life by Outwttting His
Pachyderm 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
tleeter 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 at and wounded a
magnificent specimen. Unfortunately
| for him, he had only succeeded in
| slightly wounding it, when, infuriated
by the attack, it turned and charged
him. 1t was terrifying sight. With
its enormous ears spread out like sails
and emitting shrill notes of rage, it
came laundering over the ground like
a runaway locomotive. The hunter
| fred another shot. but missed; his
nerve was shaken, and, throwing down
| his ''expr IS" rife, he sought safety in
flight. Near at hand was steep hill
and to this he directed his steps, for,
| being but slightly acquainted with the
climbing powers of the elephant, he
thought his pursuer might be baffled
by the steepness of the ascent. 1t was
a terrible disappointment to find that
the elephant could climb a hill just
as quickly as the hunter, nimble run
ner that he was. *r>1>
The fugitive, indeed, would have soon
been overtalen if if he 34adnot thought
of a really ingenious 'ruse. He knew
that elephants never run nor even walk
down a steep incline, but always crouch
down, gathering their feet well to-
gether, lean we'll 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 a
flash the elephant turned, gathered
himself together and, trumpeting with
baffled 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 wearily back to it's
| native woods.-Chums

less and curious insect would begin to
move about at the farthest extremity of
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 yelp and start on a
wild race for the end of his tail, which
lodged him and darted from him in a
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 a 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 (an old coat which
was laid on the sofa) at night. He has
learned to act the part of Judge, and
''listens to the evidence and "expounds
the law very learnedly, as the accom-
panying illustrations show. Sometimes
when he is not given enough attention
to suit him he will perform his tricks
of his own accord or climb into chair
and play "peek-a-boo," as you see him
doing in the accompanying picture. He
has a treadmill, which he enjoys rum
ming, and he takes keen delight in chas-
ing the sort of cats that like to steal up
On a dog and, with fur pronging out in
every direction, take flying leap and
land on his back. At this critical mo-
ment most dogs give fearful yelp and
run for dear life, but Billy simply re-
If the cat can be found. Billy is also
an expert hunter and obeys sign signals
as well as spoken or whistled ones. He
is a great ratter and mouser and has
learned to adopt the cats methods and
wait for his prey to come out of it's 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
rat or mouse as soon as it appeared and
usually with the result that the intend-
ed victim escaped back into the hole.
DR.. Messer writes: "Billy showed his
ability to reason only a day or two ago.
A cookie was laid down in front of the
cupboard to coax out the mice from un-
derneath. One came to the cookie and
Billy saw that it was too close to the
cupboard, SO he picked it up and moved
it about four feet farther out Then he
went little way back to watch for the
mouse to come out, certain that now he
could get his prey before it could get
out of his reach"
Billy is two and half years old,
weighs A. pounds and seems to under
stand nearly all that is said in his pres
ence. The accompanying illustrations
were made from photographs of Billy,
so you may be sure that he looks as
amiable as he is intelligent.-Ch Chicago

THE BOY, AND THE SPARROW.

Once 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. H.
Then the little boys mother few 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,
dead.
You imagine, no doubt, that the tale I
have mixed,
But it wasn't by me that the story was
fixed:
Twas a dream boy had after killing a
bird,
And he dreamed it so loud that heard
every word,
And I jotted it down as it really occurred.
Good Words.
