Traits of the Gorilla
African Natives Possesses the
Soul of a Man.

Gorilla hunting is a distinct sensa-
ton even for the veteran hunter. This
animal, which has become somewhat
confused with fable and fiction, is a
reality, and a decidedly unpleasant
one to engage. The West Africans
are MORALLY afraid of it, believing
that the brute contains the spirit of
a man. They attribute to it all sorts
of ferocities, like the carrying off of
human being, who is permitted to
return after being deprived of toe and
finger nails.
Skilled hunters have never observed
any of these doings, but they testify
to the brute's strength and ferocity.
According to a French sportsman a
full-grown gorilla can bite through a
tree six inches thick in order to Sc
cure the sap, and twist a gun barrel
with the swollen punches of muscles
that serve for arms. His roar is ter
rifying and can be heard for a dis
lance of three miles.
Il shall never forget how the first
one impressed me-" says the French
man, "for 1 had bad attack of the
shakes. The woods had been filed
some time with barking roar, but 1

The Senator, as is his wont, ex-
hibited a lively interest in his con-
stituent's health, and, thus encour-
aged, the visitor began to unburden
himself as to his family troubles, and
the warm-heaTted Senator showed
much sympathy when the man related
how his wife drove him out of the
house in her temper.

One great secret of Napoleon's pow
er was his ability to sleep. If he had
but an hour for sleep he slept an hour,
even though the fate of an army or
of an empire hung in the balance
while he slept. Gen. Grant was an
other great example of this ability
to lay aside work at quitting time.
Even in the Wilderness campaign.
when the responsibility of the move
ments of the nations armies, stretched
out in battle line thousand miles
long lay on his shoulder; when his
goodnight commands involved all
night marching and fighting of his
army of the Potomac, and his waking
orders might mean victory or defear,
the killing or the saving of a thousand
men-under it all he lay down and
dropped to sound sleep as quickly SIS
you or when we read ourselves sleepy
over an old story book. Grant had
what a great writer has called a
''frictionless mind" He saved for
the wear of work what others throw
away on the tear of worry.

Typewriter Threatens to Make Penman-
ship a Lost Art
With the almost universal use of the
typewriter in correspondence, billing,
mercantile papers and in authors
manuscripts, has come about the in
ability of men to read ordinary hand
writing.
The use of the typewriter may have
had something to do with making
handwriting more extraordinary than
it ever was, but in the days when a
certain school of almost illegible hand
writing was so affected by lawyers,
physicians, clergymen, journalists and
literary men, it is doubtful if the mere
lack of practice in present day penmen
causes them to turn out manuscript
to compare with that of years ago.
whatever is the matter" says an
observer in a big publishing house, ct
is true that young men and women of
to-day have almost lost the art of
reading matter written by pen or pen
ell. They come to me by the dozens
every day, asking that help them out
in deciphering letters or manuscript.
In such cases 1 know that the manu-
scripts are not as bad as those of
forty years ago, and this for several
reasons:
1--WE have better paper nowadays;
we have better pens, better pencils and
it no longer is fashionable for any
body using pen to affect an untidy
letter. Some of this angular penmar-
ship affected by young women is hard
to read when it comes to proper names.
