BAGGING LEADER OF ELE-
PLANTS.

Zone morning we were after rhi-
noceros. The woods where we were
are the most dangerous part of the
country. You are likely to run into
a rhinoceros, an elephant or a buffalo
at any time, and then you have a fight
on your hands. We followed up this
particular rhinoceros for several hours.
The hearing of this beast is excellent,
and he was making good his escape.
Just as we were about to leave the
woods and GO back to the mission a
native with us spied fresh tracks of
the elephant. The porters hunted quite
a while through the thick brush. Then
we heard a terrific crashing through
the bushes and trees. Three elephants
appeared thirty yards to our right. My
father fired at the largest one. We
took our positions behind the trees.
A herd of thirty animals was upon
US. By firing we divided the herd.
Some came down to the left of our
party. We got the foremost, stopping
him with one shot We severely
wounded the second, bringing the herd
to a standstilI. They began circling,
swinging around with their heads to
the center. This is their method of
defense. Then they started off at
rolling gallop to the north, and we lost
sight of them. They travel with ex-
IRENE rapidity when wounded or STAR
tied, and keep going for whole day at
a time.
I've were amply repaid for our trip,
despite the great amount OF red tape
involved in our dealings with the au-
thorities. All our trophies were in
spected before leaving the country. The
experience is valuable. as the sort of
hunting we encountered in East Africa
is rapidly becoming exhausted, and will
soon pass away
A singular fatality seemed to attend
the party While in Rhodesia, a fatal
accident befen Mr.. Alexander. who
had escaped the dangers of the forest.
At Victoria falls, where men were ex-
cavating for a bridge. a falling rock
injured his foot, and he finally sue
cumbed to the effects of the injury.
Had it not been for this disaster Miss
Alexander would be again in Africa,
for her love for forest adventure is
now as strong as her courage.

Rider Haggard's Looks Belle Him.

From his personal appearance the
casual observer would never pick out
Mr.. Haggard as a man from whose
brain had emerged the wild, weird
far-fetched imaginings that are parts
Of some of his works He looks like a
typical English country gentleman,
whose mental trend IS in the line of
things practical rather than fanciful.
Until he speaks, he might be taken
for a mere gentleman farmer, devoted
to crops and cattle breeding But
this impression vanishes when he
speaks His voice is exceedingly pleas
ing, rich and musical in quality, and
his words are uttered in the quiet.
easy, cultured tones that bespeak a
man Of high breeding and education.
And occasionally in the expression of
his gray eyes the close observer can
catch a glimpse of the dreamer
The truth is that both Impressions
are correct. Mr., Haggard is both a
dreamer and a matter-of-fac man Of
AFFAIRS. The creator OF Jess" and

is an evidence of the confidence re-
posed in his hard common sense and
sound judgment that he has been com

A Tribute by a Friend to the Late
Howard Aston. of LittIeton.

Mr. Howard Aston. Al practicing at
torney of this county, died at his home
in Littleton Friday. March 18th He
had reached the age of thirty three
years. He was the son of DR.. Willis
Aston. SO well and favorably known
to the medical profession in North
Carolina, and about three months
to Miss Addie Thorne, daughter
of the late Mr.. John d. Thorne, of
Halifax county. He attended the Uni
versity. and having decided to adopt
the law as his profession, was Ii
censed by the Supreme Court at the
Sentember term 1894.
He contracted consumption and the
severity of tho winter caused him to
yield rapidly to the ravages of that
dread disease. Those who knew him
loved him for his qualities. He was
of a most attractive personality gem
ial, loyal and devoted to his friends,
know no young man of the pro-
feSsion who was so we'll grounded in
the principles of the law. and though
struggling against i'll health, he was
in active practice until q short period
before his death.
Those Of his friends who attended
the JOYOUS occasion of his marriage
in December, hoped that he would be-
come strong again. and would be
spared for many years of usefulness.
but an overruling Providence decreed
otherwise, and all that was mortal Of
Howard Aston was inferred Sunday
afternoon.
The sympathy of his friends from
all sections of the State when they
shall see this sad announcement. Will
go out to his stricken widow and
family.
The writer. who knew him most
intimately. deeply realizes the cutting
off of a pomising career. These things
we cannot now understand but in the
fulness of time all will be made plain.
