COULDN'T SELL HIS LAND.
BuntinE became a millionaire Because
Nobody Wanted His Forty Acres.


Nobody Wanted His Forty Acres.
OIL strikes in California are making
poor men millionaires, as in the old
days In Pennsylvania. One of the
strangest OF these freaks of fortune
came to John A. Bunting, former
freight brakeman on the Southern Pa
cific, who has Just ordered $4,000
private car OF the Pullman company.
Bunting began life ten years ago as
the keeper Of railroad water tank on
the desert near Tucson, Ariz. Then he
was advanced, and finally reached the
position OF freight brakeman. He
loaned friend slT0, and took as coll
lateral watch and mortgage on for
~ acres of land In Kern county. The
friend did not pay, so Bunting sold
the watch and foreclosed on the Kern
county land, but could get nothing for
IL. Recently oil was struck near his
place. He resigned and began to de-
velop his property, He struck oil and
ia now rated as a millionaire. Bunt-
ing went to the Office of General Man
ager Fillmore of the Southern Pacific
the other day, and sent in his card
Fillmore returned reply that he was
sorry but he had no Job, as Bunting
had voluntarily resigned. Bunting
sent back an answer that he was not
looking for job but wanted to buy a
private car. Fillmore congratulated
him and advised him to buy car
with all the latest improvements,
which would cost him $4,000. and
meanwhile rent car from the South
ern Pacific. This he did. Bunting has
no expensive tastes. except strong
desire to travel In his own car and
have that car as luxurious as II is pos
sible to make It.

Africa a Field for E,ecsrielan..

The field for the exploitation of nat

immense. The Zambesi falls outrival
those of Niagara in their value for ir-

doubtless see their transformation in

the incapacity of English engineers to

Parties of discouraged women have
been seen about the Grand Central Sta
ton during the past two weeks prepar-
ing to make their way back to Boston
and other eastern towns from which
they were lured by promises that were
never realized in New York, says the
New York Sun. Recently advertise
ments appeared in the newspapers OF
a New England town guaranteeing the
girls of certain education and refine
ment sure income in New York as
canvassers for a book. Recently par
ty of these girls arrived in this city
and went to boarding house. where
they found a woman who had been
placed there in charge of them. The
establishment was an ordinary board
ing house, in which the firm had en-
gagged accommodations for the women
They found themselves assigned to a
certain territory in the city and were
directed to make house-to-house cam
vass, see everybody living within that
region and get as many subscriptions
as they could. The woman manager
living in their house paid their board
| and lodging and deducted from the
commissions they made the amount
she had paid out for them. This seem
| ed well enough until some of the girls
| found that, work as they might, it was
impossible for them to earn enough
| to pay out of their commission the
| money advanced to them to come to
New York as well as their board. But
the unfortunate agent is not allowed
to depart until she pays all the ex-
penses involved in her trip to New
York She is allowed to go home, but
is compelled to leave her trunks or
whatever jewelry she has to compen-
safe the manager for the amount of her
outlay. There is. of course, no legal
as the baggage is her baggage. there
is no lien on it for the advances, and
there is no understanding of that kind.
One unfortunate who worked month
with so little success that she was dis
heartened wanted to get away and
pawned her watch. She then discov-
cred that her trunk was held for a
board bill of $50. She was allowed to
leave after she had taken the watch
out of pawn and given it to the woman
manager as security. A party of foul
who found themselves practically pris

beach of Lydd, in Kent, England. The
sea was very high. Eight men chung

in danger of going to pieces. No boat
could be got off through the storm to
ed as IL they would drown before the
eyes of the watchers upon the land.
Presently gentleman came along the
beach accompanied by his Newfound-
land dog. The gentleman directed the
animals attention to the vessel. and
then put short stick in his mouth.
The dog at once comprehended his
masters meaning and plunged into the
sea. Bravely he fought his way
through the angry waves, but he could
not get close enough to the vessel to
deliver that with which he had been
charged. The crew, however, under
stood what was wanted. and making
fast rope to another piece of wood,
they threw the wood toward the dog.
The intelligent animal at once dropped
his own pieces of wood and seized that
which had been thrown to him. Then
he started for the shore. Again and
again he was lost under the waves, but
with almost incredible determination
he held on to the stick aud dragged the
rope through the surf till he delivered
II to his master. A line of communi-
cation was thus made with the vessel
and every man on board was saved.

Especial letter.
The greatest wild animal hunt that
the world has ever seen is soon to be
inaugurated in India and the adventur-
onsly inclined from all over creation
are to be asked to participate in 1t. 1t
Is TO be a veritable war waged be-
tween man and that vast army of
jungle creatures-ti tigers, leopards. wild
boars, snakes and the like-which ever
prey on man. Alarmed by the condi-
ton OF things In her Indian empire,
where wild beasts wreak fearful havoc
every year, England has at length de-
termined on attacking the jungle army,
and the free-for-all hunt is to be the
result.
Nearly Thirty Thousand Victims.
An idea Of the awful condition of
things In India may be imagined from
the fact that last year the army Of the
jungle killed 27.5S7 people and more
than 10000 head OF cattle. Man-eat-
ing tigers killed s9s persons. wolves
killed 1888 persons and leopards 327
persons, while crocodiles and jackals
shared between them upward OF 800.
The number killed by snakes was
enormous. no less than 24.621 persons
perishing from the bite of venomous
serpents. In return the people and
the government OF India slew 100000
dangerous snakes and 10000 wild
beasts. And now, sections OF the coun-
try in which the wild beasts mos
abound are to be hunted over and q
determined effort made to exterminat'
\ them.
The destruction OF the poisonous
snakes is a more difficult matter II

present the attractions Of tiger hunt
and sportsmen hardly would gathe
from the four corners Of the worlt
20 kill snakes. So, while the army o
foreigners which the government vii

beasts, native army must be organ
lied to seek out and kill the reptiles
