A few days subsequently

A few days subsequently VIC
toria Falls were reached, and after
thoroughly examining them we turned
our faces southwark, bent on securing
more ivory. Several days passed be-
fore the scouting party, who always
kept ahead Of us, brought news Of hav-
ing found the trail of quite a large
herd. Camp was Immediately formed,
and the scouts again started to locate
the game precisely. Our patience was
not severely tried, as within a day
they returned, reporting having seen
a great many within a comparatively
short distance. We Immediately LETT
the camp and followed the guides to
a spot where they proposed to drive
the herd. I was again placed In am
bush and succeeded in securing another
tusker without the contretemps or my
preceding shot. Six was the number
which were slaughtered, and my Boer
friends seemed pleased at the prospect
of securing good crop Of ivory. AS
their proposed route diverged from the
one I intended taking, we parted COM
pany and wended my way back Into
the Transvaal without any more ex-
citing incidents. Some time subse-
quently 1 happened to meet with some
of the party, who informed me that
they returned from the hunt with over
a hundred tusks-Frank ]. Thompson

went to that. state from one Of the
Dakotas for the purpose of buying a
farm.
A land agent acted as guide and in
formant to the Swede, who eventually
found what he wanted. When the
time came to make out the necessary
papers, the agent asked the Swede
what method he preferred to adopt In
making payment.
"Ay pay all. Ay haf da money" re-
piled the Swede.
VERY well, then. I'll make out the
deed" said the agent.
Swede. "Ay no want deed!"
"why, yes, yop dol" rejoined the
agent, astonished. You pay the
money and you take a deed for the

Swede. "Ay no want deed! Ay had

Failed TO Hold Her.

She is a club woman with a sense
of humor, but the other day when she
decided to attend federation session
in another town she had some misgiv-
ings. She told her husband that she
was possessed Of premonition Of evil
and cautioned him to be especially
careful Of the children. He merely
laughed and said that he guessed they
would be all right, then remarked,
jocosely: IF you get worried you might
telegraph"
In the evening of her second day
away she did worry and sent this tel
egram to her husband:
How are the children?"
The messenger boy came with the
dispatch just a. the man was about
to retire. He read 1t, smiled and then
penned this answer:
They're all right. Why?"
81 guess that viii hold her for
awhile" he said to himself, and then
he went to bed.
He felt so good over what he con-
sidered to be the shrewdness Of his
reply that he laughed to himself, for
getting for the time being the old
adage: HE laughs best who laughs
last"
1t was 8 o'clock in the morning when
he was aroused by the violent ringing
Of his door bell. Slipping into bath
robe and slippers he went to the door
and admitted a young Mercury who
handed out yellow envelope. 1t was
torn open quickly, read, and then the
husband kicked himself back to bed
as a recollection Of his question in his
message to his wife impressed itself
upon his sleepy consciousness. HeI
reply was in one word:

GOLDEN EAGLES HARD F1GHT-A
splendid specimen of the golden eagle
has been captured near Ardgay, Ros-
shire, after an exciting encounter.
Archibald Wilson, farmer at Bad
noon was out on the hills gathering
sheep in company with two or three
friends, when he saw a golden eagle
apparently In a state Of great exhaus-
ton. soaring over a neighboring HILL
It gradually sank until 1t had to
alight on the hillside, and on being
approached, it was found to have
tran attached to one of its claws.
Though unable to rise. the eagle made
a desperate resistance with its free
claw, beak and wings, and for a con-
siderable time succeeded In beating
off its would-be captors, exhausted as
it was by it's cumbrous flight.
It was ultimately secured by Mr.
Wilyliam, the owner Of the ground at
Dunie The eagle proved to be an
unusually fine specimen in splendid
plumage, and measured fully seven
feet from tip to tip. Of its outspread
wings. It Is not known where 1t was
trapped, but it must have been a long
distance from where 1t was found

last week when there was to be a
night session Of the senate, says the
New York Worlds Washington letter.
"Spooner," said Hale, Il suppose
you will be at the night session."
IT don't see how I can," Spooner
replied. II have a dinner engage
ment."
"Spooner," demonstrated Senator
Hale gravely, that isn't the right
spirit. We have an enormous guam
tity Of work to do, and we must give
up the pleasures at times for the du-
ties our constituents have intrusted
to US to perform. We are needed here
at our desks"
Senator Spooner thought 1t over
and telephoned Mrs. Spooner that he
could not get to the dinner because
Of the night session Of the senate. He
told Mrs. Spooner to go and have a
good time and he remained at his
desk until the senate adjourned.
When Senator Spooner reached
home that night he asked Mrs. Spoon
er If she had a good time.
"Oh, delightful" Mrs. Spooner re-
piled.
"Who took you out to dinner?" ask

SETTING HIMSELF RIGHT.-George
Washington Thomas, an able-bodied
negro of Sleepy Hollow, appeared be-
fore Magistrate Nussbaum charged
with stealing chickens. The negro
was accompanied by his lawyer, Col.
Simmons, rising young white attor-
ney. The old Judge sauntered into the
dingy court room. where he had reign
ed for more than twenty years, and
after calling for order, looked around
on the little company there assembled.
Seeing George Washington Thomas,
he pointed to him and said:
BE you the defendant in this case?'
Quick as a flash George was on his
feet, and not understanding legal
terms, he exclaimed politely:
mo, sab; no. sab; amt de Tenant;
dar's de Tenant ovah dar." And he
pointed to his lawyer. There was a
general laugh about the room. in
which the queer old judge joined hear

visibly embarrassed. and thinking to

Twas Only q Wild Pia.

A pig was once in a fair way to
cause war between the United States
and England. 1t ran wild in the Falk-
land Islands, according to London
Truth, which tells the following story:
Stanley Is where the governor and a
few British reside. The islands pro-
duce grass, turnips and pigs. These
pigs used to be much sought by Amer
lean whaling captains. The governor
always insisted that they were British
property. The captains insisted that
they were wild pigs. During the
Crimean war an American whaler ap-
propriated a pig, and then put into
Stanley. The governor classed the pig
as British, and when the captain re-
fused to give it up imprisoned him.
A few days later an American ship
of war put into Stanley. under the
command Of Capt. Lynch. The cap
tain, hearing that an American citi-
zen had been clapped into prison by
the governor. demanded his release,
asking the governor, II unprepared to
comply to remove his women and
children, as the town would be bonn
barded. The governor released his
prisoner, and presumably the pig, and
sent an account to the colonial office,
and the British legation at Washing
ton was directed to insist upon an
apology.
Mr.. Marcy, secretary Of state, ex-
planned that Lynch was nervous be-
cause he had had domestic trouble.
Britain could not accept this excuse,
but dropped the discussion, for with
a war with Russia on her hands it was
just as we'll not to get into hot water
with the United States.
Possibly, Truth suggests, the great
international question Of the pig is
still undecided.

RUSSIA'S RoMANoFFS.
Brief History CT the Family Of the
Gar.

Gar.
The reigning family of Russia dates
back to 1913, when Michael Fedora
vitz, the first of the house Of the
Romanoffs, ascended the throne. For
a span Of seven centuries the Rus
SLAMS had been under the rule Of the
Ruric dynasty. Feodor l., the last Of
the .Rurics, was assassinated and
that gave the Romanoffs the chance
they had long sought.
Micheal Fedorovitz reigned until his
death in 1882 and was succeeded by
Ivan and Peter I, who came to be
known in history as Peter the Great.
Seven years later Peter become the
sole sovereign. At the time Of his
death in 1925 the Russian court was
divided into two powerful parties. The
one demanded that the crown should
go to Peter, the son Of Alexis, brother
Of Peter the Great, who had been put
to death by his own brothers decree.
The other faction called for the crown
ing of Catherine, the widow Of Peter
the Great.
The latter finally triumphed, but her
reign was a brief one, for she died
within two years. Before her death
she nominated Peter, the son Of AL
exis, to be her successor. In 1870 he
was deposed and the crown given to
Anne Of Courland. daughter of Peter
the Great and Catherine. Peter II,
was in fact the last Of the Romanoffs,
for the male line became extinct with
his death, but the name was preserved
through the accession Of Anne OF
Courland, who was the mother Of the
unfortunate Peter III.
Peter III was dethroned and assas-
sinated in 1852. He was succeeded by
his widow, Catherine II. She reign
ed until 1896. On her death In that
year she was succeeded by Paul, who
became a maniac and was assassinat-
ed in 1901. Alexander I was crowned
and his reign continued until his death
in 1925. The next in the line OF acces-
sion was Nicholas I. For thirty years
he ruled over the Russians and saw
one of the stormiest of all periods of
the country's history. He was sue
ceeded by Alexander II in 1855.
The reign Of Alexander II was full
of vicissitudes. The nihilists had be-
come emboldened by centuries Of mis-
rule and tyranny, and throughout his
reign they were plotting his death. In
1880 a dynamite bomb was exploded
under the royal dining room and the
only reason the czar and all the royal
family were not killed was because
they happened to be a few minutes
later than usual for dinner.
A year later Alexander II was as
sassinated. A nihilist threw a bomb
under his carriage, tearing him to
pieces. His successor, Alexander Ill.
was marked by the nihilists several
times for assassination but all of their
plots failed Many of them were
sent to the mines of Siberia for life
and others put to death.
The present czar came to the throne
in 1894. Nicholas II is the eldest son
Of Alexander III. He was born in
1868. Just 26 days after he was crown
ed czar of all the Russias he welded
Princess Alix of Hesse. Only a few
months ago a son and heir was born to
the reigning family amid great popular
rejoicing.
