5000 to $3.50 by the time 1t reaches the
scene of action, where it is set over a
pit near water hole. Portable bam-
boo cages are also necessary in which
TO transport the savage captives. The
Inexperienced man who caught a
rhinocerous in a pit in the middle Of
Africa would be equally puzzled as to
how to get the creature out, or, when
cut, 10 get it TO The coast. An inclined
plane must be dug for the first, and
then the huge brute, half tanned by
hunger and fright, must be securely
shackled with great chains and ropes.
and so led through tangled forests and
over stony or sandy plains for hun
dreds of miles, At imminent risk to his
leaders lives. FocG and water are abb
sOlutely necessary for such a captive,
and if the country is sterile such must
be carried. It is wonderful how soon
even rhinoceros will give up and die
if not properly fed.
Catching Zebra and Giraffe.
The two most difficult of all known
creatures to trap and get to the coast
are the giraffe and zebra. The latter
can only be caught in high barren hills
and with the utmost difficulty because
of shyness. while the giraffe is prac-
tically extinct. The zebra bought by
the Forepaugh- Sells circus this winter
was the only one left out of fourteen
caught The giraffe is as tender as
baby, and has a heart breaking way of
dying suddenly. Even when the ami
mails are safe at the port for shipment,
the troubles are far from over. Trop-
zeal beasts must be slowly and gradu-
ally hardened to the change of climate
Cape Town is the starting place for
trapping expeditions, and huge store
houses are fitted there so as to protect
the beasts from the sudden change of
climate. The temperature of the lions
cages is slowly lowered by means of ice
Other sensitive animals are acclima-
tized in similar fashion. Then comes

the beasts In America, and then the
long journey inland, probably with WIN
ter weather to fear.
The last Natal hippopotamus was
killed five years ago. Koodo, gnu and
hartebeest have long been practically
extinct in the Cape Colony; and though
lions are still fairly common in Rhode
STA, the rarer creatures, like giraffe
and rhinocerous, are constantly retir-
ing before the white man TO the center
of the continent, if they are not abso-
lutely gone. The hippOpOtamus ranks
with the giraffe on the score of scarcity
and cost. He is not d handsome beast
but he is Of great natural interest.
Indian Tapir Also Expensive.
The India tapir is next to the hippo
potamus the most expensive of all wild
animals. But some animals are practi-
cally priceless. These include the Afri-
can gorilla and the Kadiak bear. The
gorilla has been caught. Many speci-
mems have been brought to the west
coast, but thsi man-like ape is SO habit
uated to the steamy atmosphere of its
native forests that it is the rarest thing
for one to survive the voyage.

Useful Career.
The last stroke of the hour mid
night had scarcely csased its solemn
reverberations from the bell Of the
clock in the courthouse tower on
Sunday night, when the soul oil
Judge Alexander c. Brietz, the old
est member ofthe Brazos county bar
association and a citizen Of Brazos
county for half a century, was
peacefully borne from its tenement
Of clay to the great beyond. Judge
Brietz had been in failing health
for some months, and when recent
~ il became 40 serious as TO coniine
him to his bed, the family and
friends felt that the end Of his
days was near at hand, and the
knowledge of this fact brought
poignant grief to loved ones and a
sense Of profound sorrow and Of
distinct loss to the entire com.
munity. These sentiments were
but intensified by the final an
nouncement from the death
chamber.
Judge Brietz was born at Salem,
North Carolina, May 80, 1889, and
his age was G6 years, 8 months
and 20 days. His parents were
Charles G.. and Rebecca Brietz.
He was educated in his native town
and at Trinity College, North Caro-
lima. He came to Texas in 1861,
landing at Galveston on May /. 10
June Of the same year he came to
Millican, Brazos county, where
during several years following he
taught school and pursued the
study Of law at night. He was
admitted - the bar in 1860, and
after prAdhoipg a few months en-
tered the Confederate army as
volonteer, serving with Hoods IA
nous Texas brigade in Virginia.
In the summer Of 1864, although
at that time ordinance sergeant Of
the regiment, and not expected by
yirture Of his office, to participate
in engagements, he shouldeTed
went into the battle Of the
with his old company
and was badly wounded and per-
disabled from further
service. Accordingly in the spring
Of 1865 he was transferred TO Texas
and returned to Millican, where at
the time of Gen. Lees surrender
he was candidate for election TO
the legislature from the district
then composed Of Grimes, Mont
gomery and Braz1s counties.
Judge Brietz continued 10 reside at

Central railroad was constructed to |
Bryan, and resided here con-
.inuously thereafter, engaging ac-
lively in the practice OF law. He ,

Rev. Andrews read for scripture

Matthew, from the 18th to the 10Th
verse. The reading was prefaced
by an earnest prayer by the evan.
gelist, and an announcement by
DR.. Belts regarding the services.
These will be held daily at 10a. m.

Of this service being arranged for
their convenience. The night SER

Rev. Andrews selected for his
text at the Sunday morning ser.

fourth chapter Of Second Timothy,
as follows:

God and the Lord Jesus Christ,
whs shall Judge the quick and the
dead at his appearing and his king.
