RHINOCEROS IN CAMP.
Encounter with the Animal While
Arecking in Affica-Red Blanket
Caused His Death.

While trekking in South Africa, Par.
ker Gilmore often outspanned ON the
open veldt. It was life of discomfort
and adventure, which he wildly de-
scribes in his book, 1.-THE Great Thirst
Land" Contrary to what would be
commonly believed, wild beasts not in
frequently came about the camp, and
even into the heart of the campfire.
One night we had outspanned rather
late, and the "boys" had built an enor-
nous fire close by the wagon, and be.
tween eating and shouting kept me
awake. Toward daylight this was still
going on, when I heard several excla-
nations of terror. / looked out of the
front of the wagon. The boys were fly
ing heNer-skelter everywhere, and a
rhinoceros was trotting backward and
forward across the fire, tossing car
casses, skins, cooking utensils and
blankets about as if each of them con-
tanned somebody.
A red blanket seemed particularly
to take the fancy of the irate beast.
At it he went, and got his horn well
into it. But there it seemed to stick.
The more he shook his head, the more
tightly the blanket wrapped itself
about it, entirely hiding the eyes.
He shook his head, paved with his
forefeet, lay down his clumsy length
and rolled from side to side, strug.
Cling in vain to get free of the envel.
oping blanket. I laughed aloud al
his grotesque antics.
Suddenly he gave a snort, a bound
and kick, and started for the sombel
shadows of the forest; but he carried
a two-ounce bullet behind his shoul
der. How he escaped knocking that
ornamental head-piece of his against
a tree was a wonder. In the morning
he was found dead. The bullet had
done it's work.

Pigeon Pie At Sea.

An old tar on a sailing vessel says
that sailors on shipsin the regular lane
between Europe and New York are al
ways sure of pigeon pie the day xfter
the carrier pigeon service leaves this
port. He added that pigeons flying at
sea soon get tired, and settle on the
first craft that comes in their way
The impression is gaining that pigeons
are not so useful for long ocean fighA
as has been believed.-N. Y. Letter.

Il came in to see if you were awake.
There is a lady in the sitting-room
that wants to see you. I'll go and bring

"Oh, maybe it's Annie!" Aunt Emily
exclaimed, and the look Of resignation
in her eyes changed to one of joyous
hope.
Ten minutes later mother and daugh.
ter were sobbing in each others arms.
When their emotions had subsided An
ME drew the old rocker close to the bed
and sat down, resting her hand on her
mothers. They talked of the children,
Clinton and home, and how on the NOR.
row Annie was to take her mother
home. Then there was silence for a
time, broken only by the noise of the
loose rocker.
$50, tomorrow am going home to
see the children again." Aunt Emily
said, and tear drop wet each cheek.
She reached for the corner of the un-
bleached sheet, but the soft handker-
chief of the daughter wiped them away
instead, and the low voice responded:
Eyes, mother, I am going to take you
home in the morning. Clinton and I see
things differently now.''
Mrs. Mayes went early to her moth
er'sr room the next morning. She opened
the door and walked toward the bed
to awaken her. Aunt Emily's face was
turned toward the window. Her hands
were folded on top of the comfort, the
able one above as usual.
"Mother!" Mrs. Mayes called, as she
reached the bed, but the sleeper did not
awaken. "Mother!" she repeated, as
she laid her hand on the folded ones,
then started back, gave low scream
and sank into the old rocker. Her
mother was dead.
Aunt Emily's face wore a happy
smile as she lay ready to be taken home
Her hands were folded over the black
burial robe, as they used to be on the
faded calico comfort, and clasped q

When she was carried from the house

GOING HOME.
THE soft, hazy October sunshine
fell on a West Virginia poorhouse,
Bu Mrs. Mlnnie n. P. Knotts.

THE soft, hazy October sunshine
fell on West Virginia poorhouse,
changing its white painted sides into
a subdued pearly tone. In one of the
east rooms, opening off the hall and
inmates s-tting-room, lay Aunt Emily
on low, black, wooden bed. She had
lain in this room since one April day
when he right side felt numb and
stiff and refused to obey her will.
After that stroke of paralysis she was
never able to sit up longer than an
hour or two. During all this time
Mary Sharpe another inmate, had
acted as nurse under the instructions
of Mrs. Winters the stewardess.
This morning Aunt Emily's pale
face looked more sallow than usual
in the subdued light coming through
an old yellow paper curtain. Her thin
gray hair was parted in the middle
and drawn tightly back from the
forehead; the gaunt hands were fold
ed on the faded calico comfort, the
palsied right one underneath. She
had her large brown eyes turned to-
ward the window where the beauty
OF the autumn cleaned.
October frosts had made the hill
sides, that stretch away for miles, a
bright landscape, reminding one of
Joseph's coat, SO many were the col
ors. Half of the trees had changed
their green foliage for red or yellow,
but some still clung to the old color
as It loath to put on the brighten
shapes Of step nearer death. The
corn fields were bare except for the
; golden brown shocks that rose here
and there like wigwams. In the pas
tures, yet green, the sheep wandered
about or rested from their rambles
under the tall oak trees. Far away
IN the distance, the blush gray tops
o. the Allegheny mountains looked
down like sentinels on the quiet coun-
try. and the thin, f1eecy clouds clung
lovingly to their SUBMITS.
Aunt Emily turned her head away
Hom the window as the door creaked
on its hinges and Mary Sharp en-
tered. Mary was middle-aged WON.
On with lot of copper-colored hair
mat was freshly combed, and kind
race that shone as from a recent wash
ing with kitchen soap. Although she
made q visible effort to walk lightly
ner heavy shoes squeaked noiselessly
on the bare floor. She went over by
the bed and sat down in the SCARED
