Two Curious Stories of Escapes froa,

Mr.. w. A. Chanler. in his recent
book. Through Jungle and Desert:
Travels In East Africa" tells two very
curious stories of escapes from ele-
plants Firing at one Of a herd OF
elephants, he was charged by i've Of
them. They were close upon him
when his foxterrier jumped upon the
foremost beast. barking and biting
furiously. THE brutes at once halted,
and with a scream OF fright turned
sharply to the right. and was saved" !"
'The Nasal interpreter. rushed at by
one of the herd. jumped into heap OF
prickly bushes. The elephant stop

his trunk. The Nasal instincuvely
held out his sandals. which were
promptly seized. The sandals seemed
to satisfy the curiosity of the beast
for having taken them with his trunk
1t dashed them to the ground and
trampled upon them, Then. with q
loud trumpeting of rage. it passed
down the path" The native was NO

with his life. but between the thorns
and the feverish excitement of being
pursued by the monster he mus, have

In these days of watered stocks and

New York Mall and Express. But Il
Is doubtful whether any modern pro-
motor has hit upon q simpler scheme
to swell the assets on his balance sheet
than that which was employed BY an
humble bookkeeper Of this city while
the century was still young. The year
1901 had been 4 very prosperous one
for the merchants of New York, and
all looked forward with interest 10 the
nrst month Of the new year, when
they would be able to ascsrtain how
much better on they were then than Il
the Same time twelve months before.
Notwithstanding his high expecta-
lions. 1t was with feeling Of grateful
surprise that the frugal Scotch baeAs-
lor. John Macintosh, received the
news from his bookkeeper that he
was $4,000 richer BY the transactions
OF the year. That was large sum in
those days. and Macintosh thought the
Increase in his income warranted q
change in his mode of living. Ac-
cordinGiy he engaged more osmmodi-
ous lodgtnss and invested In many
long desired luIuries. stu hs could
not make out how he had succeeded
In accumulating such Q larss surplus.
He ran over the figures again aAd
again to convincs himself that they
must be right. and every tine check
ed bis bookkeepeTs totals. Yet the
doubt haunted him with q esrsistency
as truly Scotch as himself. He was
about to retire one night In early
March, when he took out he balance
sheet. which he kept handy, and once
more endeavored to convince himself
Of his good fortune Without waiting
to put on his hat, with balance sheet
IN hand. he hurried to the lodg1ngs OF
hit bookkeeper. In those days all the
good folk OF the town retired at the
stroke of nine. But AacIltosh's
pounding succeeded in awakening the
