The Call of the Jungle.
BY BERKELEY HUTTON.

Many a time I've come back from a trip, leaving
half my men and all my ivory rotting in some deao-
ly African swamp, half dead with fever, swearing
that I'm done withsthe business for good. And some
bright day, in six months, or even three, the smell
of the jungle gets into my n~ostrils or the coughing
roar of a lions challenge-and that settles the
business. Back I go again, knowing precisely what
is coming-the sweating days and the chilling
nights. the torments of insects and of thirst, the
risks and hardships, and the privations. For once
Africa has laid her spell upon a man, he's hers for
ever. He'll dream Of her-ofs the parched and bits
tered veldts he's crossed under the blazing sun
light: of the nights, those moonlit haunted nights
when he's watched beside a runway. waiting for the
game to come down to drink, and listened to the
ripple Of the water on the flats. the ~stealthly snap
ping of branches all around him, the scurry of
monkeys overhead; listened to the vast silence. into
which all smaller sounds are cast as pebbles are
dropped into a pool-Eyerybody's Magazine.

self, upon his parlor floor, has probably paid close
to $1,000 for it.
India is the only country in which elephants
are used for hunting. In Africa the elephant is
not tanned; he is captured almost solely for his
ivory. But in India the elephant is used quite
entirely for hunting and working purposes.
The excitement of a tiger hunt begins long be-
fore a tiger is even sighted. The wild bees Of
India build their hives in a hanging position on
the limbs of trees. Very often these drop down
close to the ground and the thick underbrush
hides them from view. 1t is a not infrequent in
'cident of these hunts for an elephant to calmly
walk into one of these hives and scatter the busy
inmates in all directions, whereupon the bees
quickly recover and seek revenge upon the clum-
sy elephant and his riders, and all the other ele-
plants of the party. Such an incident is a COM
mon occurrence that helps to enliven a tiger hunt
and for the time being drives all thoughts of tiger
skins from the hunters minds. The basket or how
dab In which the hunter rides is another feature
that often lends excitement to a hunt, such as
no tiger could provide. The hunter, that is the
gentleman hunter, who has gone to India for the
sport, occupies the howdah. This is a very large
basket fastened to the elephants back by a very
strong rope. The spectacle reminds one of a
captain standing on his bridge, high above the
flashing waves. The native sits on the elephants
neck, or, to follow the same figure Of speech, he
is down on deck. r
Now, elephants are often skittish and liable
to fly off in a panic. They do this, quite forget
full of the captain on the bridge, and the result
is that the tiger hunter often has to cling with
both hands to the sides of the howdah and re-
.ceive a severe shaking up as though he were a
pebble in a tin can. Nor is this without it's dam
gers. Often when the elephant becomes panic
stricken he will charge into a jungle and tear
madly about until he drops with, fatigue.
Another danger is when an elephant gets caught
In a tropical mire and founders about. At these
times the elephant will grope about for anything
ne can reach, to poke down under his feet to get
4 firmer foothold. Small trees and branches are
thrown to him which he dexterously arranges with
his trunk and fore legs until he has built a foun-
dalton upon which he can rest. But at these
times the elephant is not scrupulous in regard TO
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1908-11-07

at ALL They call it parlor hunting. And, except
for these incidental dangers, they are right. When
a tiger charges, as he sometimes does, it Is only
the native on the elephants neck who is in danger.
The man in the howdah is high aloft with a whole
head. And if he should miss and the tiger come on,
the worst that could happen is that he will have no
driver to guide his elephant back to camp.
Yet elephants are more or less indispensable in
this kind of hunting. The Asian forests are very
dense and stalking is not only very dangerous but
it is often impossible. In some parts of the Jungle
no man can get through. The elephant, on the 9TH
er hand, simply beats his head against an obstruct-
ing tree and aops it lover. And then, too, he carries
the supplies which, Of course, are necessary on trips
of this kind.
The control its mahout (driver) has over the
huge but docile animal is truly marvellous, as he
verbally directs it here to tear down a destructive
creeper, or a projecting bough, with it's trunk; there
to fell with it's forehead a good sized tree that may
interfere with its course in the line; or to break
some precipitous bank of a mullah (water course)
with its fore feet, to form a path for descending into
it, and then, after the same fashion, to Chamber up
the other side. And if It's driver should chance to
jlet fall his gujhag (iron goad) the elephant gropes
for it and lifts it up to him with his trunk. In tiger
hunting, however steady an elephant may be, it's
behavior depends largely on the conduct of the
mahout. If an elephant gets frightened he goes

HANDICAPPED AFTER
 SEVEN LONG YEARS

Chicago, August 19.-John A. Hinsey, the "Captain Dreyfus' of the Knights of Pythias, after suffering seven years expulsion from his lodge on a charge of embedding a half million dollars, has been exonerated and reinstated.
 Hinsey, who is head of the claim department of the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul railway, and who was at one time a political power in Mill waukee, was restored at the recent bye-annual convention of the Pythians in Boston. The official action of the order has just been announced.
 The charges against MT. Hinsey were made by Ogden H. Feathers of James, vile. Wis, when Feathers was supreme chancellor
 Hinsey was indicted and charges preferred against him in his lodge. He fought the indictments and they are now quashed and all the subsequent civil suits which were started either were won or they were dismissed.
 Throughout it all he had one friend, John c. Burns, also of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad. MT. Burns worked constantly to have the whole affair investigated. The end came at last in the Boston convention on a final roll call which resulted 99 to 80 in Hinseys favor.

Atlanta, August 19.-Late today police ton to quell a riot that broke out among two companies of United States regulars en route from Fort Slocum to the Philip pines.
 When the local police officers were un- able to curb the soldiers, call was made upon Fort McPherson for troops, and Captain Bankhead. with company of regulars, responded hurriedly.
 The trouble started early in the after noon, when a number of the soldiers, when en route to the far east, broke out of their cars, which were on the side track at the terminal station, and, it is said, began annoying passengers enter ing trains. Officer Hill of the local po- lice force knocked two of the soldiers down, and then the trouble became gen. eral Colonel Thompson of the gulf de- partment was notified and he responded and later Fort McPherson was called upon.
 Frank Smith was seriously stabbed, and is now in local hospital Joseph A. Bleak, another soldier, was placed under arrest.
 At 6:30 the officers had the men under control and under guard in their cars, and it is believed the guard is sufficient to prevent further trouble.
 The widest excitement prevailed at the terminal station during the riot and many women became hysterical.
