gherefore, for shot at the brain, whichsis he.only spotof any usey For tunately he turned round and dashed off. So we gave him half an hour to get over his fright, and the wind growing more steady as the power of the sun became more marked, we workedtround so as to have it. direct 1y in our faces, and tracked on.
 Mile after mile went by until some four miles had been covered; for tnnately not entirely away from camp; but still we estimated we were a good five. miles off it, however, when we heard him breaking down the branches and feeding in front of us.
 went on now very cautiously and alone, and saw him standing facing me under huge forest tree, but with fairly dense nut-bushy like jungle be- tween us. I crept as near as could, to get clear spot, for fear of the twigs defecting the bullet, and was kneeling on one knee waiting for his trunk to go down, and so get the fore- head-shot, when he dropped his trunk and began to twist off tuft of grass Taking a steady aim just below where the trunk ends in the forehead, fired. He absolutely never moved; the trunk swaked between his knees, and with out moving I put in the second barrel in the same place.
 Then all was changed. With a. shrieking yelk which accurately de- scribes the sound, he charged straight at me- rushed away to the left, saw him on me, put up my arm, saw his huge mouth over my arm, hishuge legs under it; and he was gone, and I found myself up against the forest tree, as shown in the picture. do not think he touched me, but blinded by the blood, and nature making him steer clear of huge forest trees, and I being for 8 moment out of his cloud ed sight against the tree trunk, he missed me. was round in a moment, and so was he-I to load and shrink myself up as small and as silent as pos sib1e behind the trunk, he to scream and trumpet with rage. Suddenly he turned round and rushed off trumpet 1 ing through the forest, pushing down in his headiong flight young trees the size of my arm or leg like matchwood and leaving big bloodstains some ten feet from the ground upon them. | Whether the wound I had inflicted was mortal or not do not know, as I have never seen or heard of him since.

DOWNEY-sTREET IMPROVEMENT.


Judge Carter yesterday issued restrain
ing order to prevent the assessment of
property on Downey street for the. improve
ment of the sidewalks recently completed
by the Marion County Construction Com
pany. Judge Carter fixed Jan. IL as the
date for a final hearing of the injunction
asked for in the complaint.
The suit filed was by Jacob Kirch, Leo
pold Reinhart, Fred A. Schmidt, Rudolph
G. Vetter and Annie M. Hagenrether
against the Marion County Construction
Company, the city of Indianapolis, George
T. Breunig, city controller, and Armin c.
Koehne, city treasurer.
Through Herod & Herod attorneys for
the property owners, 1t Is stated that the
Board of Works ordered the improvement
of Downey street from East to Edgewood
streets with cement sidewalks on Feb 2S
The specifications for the work agreed to
by the contractors before acceptance of the
contract was that a seven-foot lawn should
be provided outside the cement walk, its
grade to be flush with the walk The COM
plainants say that the contractors received
permission from Mayor Bookwalter to
change the specifications and completed the
work, leaving the lawns much higher than
the sidewalk. 1t is stated that the MAYOR
authorized this change without the knowl-
edge of the Board of Works.
The petitioners for the injunction ask that
the city officers and construction company
be enjoined from placing the assessments
for improvements against the property af-
fected by 1T until after changes are made
to conform with the original contract.

The quantity of lace now used is really
astonishing, not only as trimming, but as
accessories TO gown. Dainty stock COL
lars of lace with bow of lace in the front.
lace jabots. lace rosettes and lace scarfs,
are all necessary in every outfit that de-
serves to be called thorough. White and
black lace shawls are used to throw over
the shoulders with low gown, while rare
old collars and berthas of lace have been
brought out from treasure houses. and are
used to trim low-cut and high-cut waists
In spite OF the apparently criminal cutting
up of real lace that has been going on
lately. the fashion fortunately now is to
preserve intact as much as possible any
ming. 1t is perfectly possible to do so with
the collars, lace barbs and berthas woven
or made many years ago.
