beautiful cities in the world. AS a place of
residence. Washington is as likely to be

Shepherd is not to be belittled but h, was

all the misjudgment and criticism. To him
be the praise. Let the monument go up
There Is record Of the kind in the

by his wisdom delivered the city: yet no

the inner circle might ~ well have
been trees. SO far as their powers of
locomotion were concerned. With al
most over-powering trumpetings, they
swayed from side to side. flashing
each other with their trunks in their
rage, but absolutely unable to stir
either forward or backward Al
though l had, but few moments be-
fore, resigned myself to a speedy and
apparently inevitable death, the hu-
NOR of the situation now struck me,
and l rolled from the carcass IN q
violent paroxysm of laughter.
ITO make a long story short, 1t was
q simple matter, considering the po-
sition in which we had the herd, to
finish q few of the elephants nearest
us by well-directed shots from my re-
volvers, as a bullet penetrating the
eye would readily reach the BRAIN We
had killed perhaps half dozen in
this manner, the bodies retaining
their upright position in the circle
through the pressure of others. when
Umbolalla reminded me that the re-
naming revolver cartridges might
better be saved, and that we could
kill the elephants as well with his
assegai. His plan was to climb upon
the DdChS OF Tue eiepudutS, place the
head of the assegai over the spinal
cord at the point where it enters the
skull. and using the heavy elephant
gun as a sledge, drive it home. This
plan we found upon trial worked
well, and after seven hours incessant
labor we had stilled the trumpeting,
and out of that vast herd not one re-
manned alive.
Returning to Mpweto we enjoyed
the nights rest, and in the morning
had no difnculty, such is the simpIi-
city of the African native, in arrang-
ing a trade with Chief Mugbokuku,
whereby I gave his tribe the car
casses of the elephants in exchange
for the services of his men in remov-
ing the tusks and carrying them to a
point on the Nile at which transpor-
tation to Cairo could be secured.
From Cairo, two months later, l re-
shipped the tnsks taken from the 46S
elephants to Copenhagen, where the
ivory was disposed of at a profit of
$500. 900.
