that from the wilds of Morgan and
Brown counties hunters would bring
vcnison to market aud sell it much
lower than pork was sold in that day,
pork being preferred by the Hoosier
then to the red deer of the woods. It
was in that time that an entire wild
turkey, full grown, would sell at a
price far below the present appralse-
ment Of scrawny spring chicken, and
a dozen quail could be bought for less
money than 1t now takes to buy a
dozen links Of sausage-neither was
the quail required to masquerade as

Hot Blood of Youth.

"There were couple Of old forty
miners down in Tombstone, Arizona, " said
a tourist the other day, twho were great
friends. One of them was eighty years
old and the other eighty -one. They were
taking their morning toddy one day and !
fell into a disagreement over the date OF
some pioneer occurrence: Each was IN,
sistent on his own recollection OF 1t ana
finally they got into regular quarre..
Backing away from the bar they drew their
ouns and blazed away at each other, but
their sight was so dim and their hands SO
unsteady that all the bullets went wide.
When their guns were emptied the barkeeP
emerged from beneath the counter and
made them shake hands and make up.
The local paper, The Epitaph, in describing
the occurrence, treated it in an indulgent
vein and closed by saying "Well, boys

Woman Stays Elephants.

To Mrs. Charles L. Akeley, gentleman
nered and mild spoken little woman, be-
longs the distinction of having shot and
killed an elephant larger than Jumbo Of
Barnum & Bailey fame. She has the
hide and skeleton as trophies. Mr.. and
Mrs. Akeley have arrived here after
year passed in British East Africa gather
ing specimens for the Field Museum.
The specimens, aggregating about 1000,
include 400 skins of the larger mammals,
the total weight of the fruit of their labors
being more than "a, 900 pounds.
The largest of their victims, the ele-
plants, are four in number, all but one OF
them having been secured in the neighbor-
hood of Mount Kanya, snow capped
peak almost under the equator, where the
hunters spent six weeks among the
bamboo thickets. Contrary to the game
laws, which provide that each hunter may
shoot only one elephant, two others were
killed by the collecting party, but as they
were "charging elephants the action was
necessary for the preservation of their own
lives.
Mrs. Akeley's prize was one of the first
to fall, with her first bullet behind the ear,
but later she killed another smaller one.
The tusks of the first one weigh 115
pounds each,

An Honest Saloonkeeper.

Tombstone, Arizona, claims to have the
frankest saloonkeeper in the United States.
He keeps the Temple Bar saloon and
advertises his business in the following re-
markable manner:
Friends and Neighbors-I am grateful
for past favors, and, having supplied my
store with fine line of choice liquors, al
low me to inform you that I shall continue
to make drunkards, paupers and beggars
for the sober, industrious, respectable part
of the community to support. My liquors
will excite riot, robbery and bloodshed
"They will diminish your comforts, in
crease your expenses and shorten life. I
shall confidently recommend them as sure
to multiply fatal accidents and incurable
diseases.
"They will deprive some of life, others
of reason, many of character, and all OF
peace. They will make fathers fends,
wives widows, children orphans, and all
poor.
II will train your sons in infdelity, dis
sipation, ignorance, lewdness and every
other vice. will corrupt the ministers of
religion, obstruct the Gospel, defle the
church and cause as much temporal and
eternal death as can.
II will thus accommodate the public =
it may be at the loss of my never-dying
soul. But I have family to support, the
business pays, and the public encourages it.
81 have paid my license and the traffic
is lawful, and if I don't sell it somebody
will. I know the Bible says: Thou
shall not kill NO drunkard shall enter
the kingdom of heaven, and l do not ex-
pect the drunkard maker to fare any bet
ter, but l want an easy living and | have
resolved to gather the wages Of iniquity
and fatten on the ruin of my species.
81 shall, therefore, carry on my busi-
ness with energy and do my best to dimin-
ish the wealth of the nation and endanger
the safety of the State. AS my business
Aourishes in proportion to your sensibility
and ignorance, 1 will do my best to prevent
moral purity and intellectual growth.
"Should you doubt my ability, refer
you to the pawnshops, the poorhouse, the
police court, the hospital and the peniten-
tiary and the gallows, where you will find
some of the best customers have gone.
ga sight of them will convince you that
I do what | say.
"And me to inform you that you are
fools and that am an honest saloonkeeper.

A Rooster that Rules.

It is not often that barnyard fowl at
tains neighborhood popularity, but such
is the case with large Massachusetts, red
rooster belonging to Charles Davis, Of ST.
John avenue. A few weeks ago Mr..
Davis was attracted to his barnyard by the
whines of half grown setter pup he is
training. He found that the dog had been
driven into corner and was being savagely
attacked by big cock, and before he could
interfere in behalf of the pup it had been
pretty heavily marked by the rooster $
spurs.
Since that time Red, as he has come to
be called, has become neighborhood bully
and refuses to allow pigs or dogs to come
within the grounds under his rule. Curl
ously enough, dogs will not fight back, but
actually run from his assaults. As for
gamecocks, he has probably thrashed more
Of them than any other bird in the city.

Caught Eagle Barehanded.

Harley Grant, of Jopton, Ark, recently
caught golden eagle measuring Z feet 4
inches from tip to tip with his hands. He
was driving through the woods on wagon
and the bird rose from the ground and
flew to low dead limb of tree. The
limb broke, which unbalanced the bird,
and it fell to the ground again in a thicket
of green briers, and in making an effort to
get away got badly tangled in the briers.
Grant ran to it and held it down until he
got a good hold on it. Then he picked it
up and carried it home. Parson Jones
owns the bird now and has it in cage and
feeds it on rabbits. 1t can skin rabbit
quicker than man. 1t will not eat chick
