Priest Prevents Serious Panic.

Denver, Col, Nov. FEATHER J. A.
Ryan, assistant pastor at St. Leo's
church, was the hero of fire that
threw the members of his congrega-
tion into a panic. At All Saints mass,
shortly before noon, when the editice
was crowded, one of the altar boys,
bearing a candle, set fire to some of
the church decorations. Father Ryan,
in a firm, commanding voice, shouted:
BE calm, men; take your time in get
ting out" At the same time he strip
ped off his clerical robes and beat
upon the flame with them. In less than
a minute he had conquered them.
Father Ryan was one of the heroes
of the Iroquois fire in Chicago, rescu!-
ing several persons from the burning
theater.

The Call of the Jungle
BY BERKELEY HUTTON.

Many time I've come back from trip leaving
half my men and all my ivory rotting in some dead
ly African swamp half dead with fever swearing
that Pm done with the business for good And some
bright day. in six months, even three, the smell
of the jungle gets into my nostrils the coughing
roar of lions challenge-and that settles the
business. Back 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 man. he's hers for
ever. He'll dream of her-of the parched and blis-
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 the fats the stealthly snap
ping of branches all around him, the scurry of
Monkeys overhead listened to the vast silence, into
which all smaller sounds cast ag pebbles are
dropped into pool.-Everybody's Magazine.

CROSSING a J7REAM e

self, upon his parlor 1oor has probably maid 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 tiger hunt begins long be-
fore tiger is even sighted. The wild bees of
India build their hives in 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 fnfrequent 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 cum-
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 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 very large
basket fastened to the elephants back by very
strong rope The spectacle reminds one of a
captain standing his bridge high above the
lashng waves The native sits on the elephants
neck or to follow the same figure of speech he
is down on deck. gs'g
Now, elephants are often skittish and liable
to fly off in 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 severe shaking up though he were a
pebble in tin can. Nor is this without its dan
gers Often when the elephant becomes panic
stricken he will charge into jungle and tear
madly about until he drops with fatigue
Another danger is when an elephant gets canght
In a tropical mire and founders about. At these
times the elephant will gpope about for anything
he can reach, to poke down under his feet to get
firmer foothold. Small trees and branches are
thrown to him which he dexterously arranges with
his trunk and fore legs until he has built foun-
dation upon which he can rest. But at these
times the elephant is not scrupulous in regard to

story is told in Asia of
an inexperienced hunter
who, when his elephant
was f1oundering about in
this way, thought he
would be doing it a SER
vice by dismounting. He
did so; whereupon the
elephant seeing likely
foundation material in
him, snatched him with
his trunk and buried him
in the mire.
And so, the actual IT,

role when he is hunted
from the backs of ele-
plants. In fact, some
sportsmen pooh pooh the

schedules and later confess his convic-
ton that the tariff on steel may be
lowered with justice to the manufac-
turer is acclaimed as the acme OF
meanness
However, that is not the point to be
most seriously considered Whether or
not Mr.. Carnegie has been mean" in
thus giving things away doesn't mat
ter very much. 1t does however, mat
the truth and so far none have ac-
cused him of falsehood or questioned
his inside knowledge of the facts. The
consumer of steel is not specially in
terested in the clamor of steel mag
mates and interests against Mr.. Car
negie's meanness. He wants square
deal in schedules and is willing to put
Carnegie forward as expert testimony.
The main point is that Andrew Car
negie, who has amassed millions in an
industry, offers evidence that steel
schedules are higher than need be. He
is reputable witness Perhaps it was
mean of him to confess, but that is
neither here nor there as regards the
main question Carnegie is not on trial
