In the kingdom of Illyria there lived not
long ago. a poor woodcutter, with three
sons. who In time went forth to seek their
fortunes At the end of three years they
returned by agreement to compare their
progress IN the world. The eldest had be-
come a lawyer and the second merchant,
and each of these had won riches and
friends, but John, the youngest, who had
enlisted In the army, could only show
cork leg and a medal.
You have made a bad business of 1t, .,
said his brothers. Your medal is worth
less. except to a collector of such things,
and your leg positive disadvantage For

The Breton Hat.

The little round Breton hat is enormously
popular in felt. with the brim bound by a
contrasting color, especially in front. A.
great deal of bright apple green velvet Is
employed in millinery, and one firm has
made striking note in the employment of
green parrots with green satin rosettes ON
white and pale mauve felt. Very large
toques are also to be worn, the trimming
fiat and low and soft drapery of lace
round the brfm falling low on the hair
at the back. Nothing points to the return
of the high coiffure, as has been stated in
some fashion papers.

fe,>i III. NEW YORK, November IA, 1901.
Turkeys and winter clothes may be said
to be synonymous terms in New York, as
it is only at Thanksgiving that the real
toggery of winter begins to be worn here.
Up to this period, the weather is usually
too mild to permit of the furs and heavy
stuffs which constitute winter wear; but.
as If in colfusion with the elements, no
sooner does the Thanksgiving bird appear
than all is changed. Fierce winds begin
to howl, and with the suddenness of magic
textures and colors grow heavier and warm

fuences. and the ifrou-frou lace and net
collet, so lately adored, are banished to the
limbo of useless things.

handle of the music box was turned.
The police arrested Schulter, and
now he is in Jail charged with send
ing an Internal machine through the
mails.
Schulter had known Miss West for
long time, and their acquaintance
ship had ripened into love. They
were engaged to be married, when
Schulter's fondness for his sweet
heart grew into an unreasoning jeal-
ousy.
Miss Banker, an intimate friend of
Miss Vests, advised her against mar
rying Schulter. Miss West finally de-
cided to act on her friends advice
and broke off her engagement.
Then Schulter swore vengeance on
Miss Banker. She was afraid of him
and kept out of his way. But one
night recently package was re-
ceived at Miss Bankers home in
Ninth street, which, when I'M
wrapped, proved to be music box.
On it was the inscriptions:
"Turn the handle ten times and
the music box will play old Ken
lucky Home.'"
One of Miss Bankers family put
the music box on the table and be-
gan to turn the handle, but Miss
Banker suddenly thought that some
thing looked wrong about the box
and that it had best be turned over
to the police. 1t was carried to the
nearest station and placed in pail
of water until it was soaked through.
Then the police cautiously opened it..
The handle of the music box had
match heads affixed to it in such a
manner that when it was turned the
matches would be ignited by rubbing
against sandpaper. Several pounds
of powder were tightly packed
around the matches and would have
been exploded when the matches ig-
nited.
Miss Banker thinks now that her
best friend or anybody else can mar
ry whom they please before. she
will say anything to spoil another en-
gagement.

HUNTING In BURMAH
Tracking Rhinoceros and Elephant
Is Dangerous Business.
Thrilling Adventures ofn British
oMcer i'm the Dense Forests OF
Asia--Thrown 30 Feet by Blow
from an Enraged Elephant,

Hunting for either the rhinoceros
Or elephant is supposed to be the
most exciting form of sport known.
But to combine the two and hunt at
The same time for both an elephant
and rhinoceros, and to bag both
Of the big creatures after being se,
fiously wounded by one of them, il
the kind of hunt that ought to give
1he ordinary sportsman enough thrills
TO last him for a time at least.
Lieut.. ID. J. Munro, of his maiesty's
ship Skipjack, started out early in
the morning one day in last Febru-
airy for rhinoceros hunt in upper
Burmah. lie was accompanied by a
native hunter, Pee Nee, n tall, gaunt,
determined-looking Siamese, and a
corps OF native servants. Pee Nee
made n business of hunting the
"rhno.' He sold the horns of the
animals to the Chinese for 100 rupees
each, and the skin and other parts of
the body bring large price from the
Chinese, who use them for medicine.
For, as Pee Nee quantity said: "Any-
thing that is hnrd to get is the China
mans medicine"
Lieut.. Munro and Pee Nee camped
for three days at the foot of long
range of hills which here form the
boundary between Burmah and Siam.
In these dense forests the sun il
never seen except where some giant
tree has been leveled by the light
ming.
After following a small stream high
up into the hills, where it had it's
source in The wide marsh, the tracks
of big rhino were found. Follow
ing the tracks the hunters soon came
upon the rhino taking his MONDAY
sleep in thick piece of jungle in the
center of the marsh.
AS the hunters crept towards him
the rhino gave q low grunt, indicat-
ing that he was aware of the pres

a colored servant, was in despair.
She controlled her sorrow very well,
however, until the actual moment of
parting came and then she wept as
though her heart would break. The
cruiser was to leave the navy yard
early next morning, and the lieuten-
ant had gone to report for duty.
In the midst of her lamentations,
says the New York Herald, the young
wife heard a shifting and sobbing in
the dining-room, and upon glancing
through the door she saw Dinah, the
colored maid, rocking her body to ard
fro in a chair and weeping violently.
"Why, D-D-Dinah what's the mat
ter?" cried the mistress; you seem
to t-t-take Mr.. Blanks departure as
much to heart as I d-do.''

forward until he was within ter
yards OF the animal. The rhine
lurched toward him, and the hunter
clapping his gun to his shoulder, sem

The animal turned and numbered
away, with the hunters following.
AT last the trail led into a thick
jungle, and, as by this time it was
four o'clock in the afternoon, the
hunters decided to return to camI
and take up the pursuit again in the
morning.
As the hunters were going back

y stopped, and, pointing forward
whispered: "Chan. chan.''
The lieutenant looked, and, sure
enough, through the bamboos he saw
standing on the other side of the
stream they had followed in the
morning a large bull elephant, his
tusks glittering in the last rays OF
the sun. The lieutenant stalked up
the right bank of the stream, and
when opposite the elephant and about
20 yards away, drew n bead on the
projection at the base of the ele-
plants trunk, figuring that the bullet
would strike somewhere near the
brain. lie fired, but when the smoke
of his gun had cleared away he saw
the elephant still stood where he had
been before and was looking wicked
ly for the hunter.
The hunter aimed a little higher up
next time and fired again, and the ell
ephant turned and made off up the
valley, screaming and trumpetingw with
pain.
The lieutenant crossed the stream
and followed in hot pursuit of his
elephant, but suddenly came to halt
as~he heard a crashing in the jungle
ahead of him, and, looking up saw
that the elephant was hunting him.
The elephant was within 90 feet of
him, and there was no chance for him
to raise his gun; SO the lieutenant at
tempted to dodge to one side, but the
elephant struck him blow that
threw him 80 or 40 feet down the
hill.
The lieutenant fell into some
bushes which concealed him from the
elephant, whom he could hear charg-
ing back and forth, hunting him. A
shot from Pee Mee's rifle sent the
elephant in full retreat again, and
the lieutenant, picking up his own
gun, which was uninjured, again fol-
lowed after his quarry. He came up
with him once more, and this time
put in two more bullets, just behind
the elephants left fore leg. The
beast turned again and continued his
fight, and the lieutenant, being ex-
hausted from the effect of his col
lision with the elephant, had to give
up pursuit and be carried back TIC
camp.
The next day the trails Of both the
elephant and the rhinpceros were
again taken up and followed, and
both animals were found dead.
