India is the only country in which elephants

entirely for hunting and working purposes
The excitement Of a tiger hunt begins long be-

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 not infreauent in

walk into one Of these hives and scatter the busy
inmates In all directions, whereupon the bees

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
he can reach to poke down under his feet to get
a hrmer foothold. Small trees and branches are
thrown to him which he dexterousy arranges with
his trunk and fore legs until he has built a foun

PIONEERS Of COUNTY
Welded SIXTY YEARS
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Coulter, of
Conrad, Married Three
Score Years
CAME TO MARSHALL IN 1855
CAME TO MARSHALL IN 1855
Were Among Early Settlers of Lis
comb Township, When MarshalItown
Was But Mere Trading Post-Have
Reared Large Family Of Children,
Ten Of Eleven Now Living.

Mr., and Mrs Samuel Coulter, pio-
neers of this county, but in more re-
cent years residents Of Conrad. have
been married sixty years. Mr.. Coulter
is now SO years old. and his good
wife is 76. Mrs. Coulter is in feeble
health and for that reason no attempt
was made at formal celebration of
the passing Of the three-score years OF
married life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coulter were married
in Mercer county. Pennsylvania, at
little settlement then called Pine Grove,
now known as Grove City. They came
to Iowa in 1855. settling in Jackson
county. The trip to the then ia
county. The trip to the then far
west" was made in a covered wagon,
and forty-two days were consumed on
the journey. They came to Marshall
comb township, about nine miles north
Of Marshalltown, and for two years
MIR. Coulter worked for SO per month.
Like all pioneers the young couple
endured many hardships. Iowa City
was the nearest railroad point. Mar
shalltown was then only a mere trad
ing post, with three buildings, dry
goods store, drug and grocery store,
and blacksmith shop. Roads on which
any kind Of time could be made with
a team were hard to lind, and market
ing meant tedious Journeys over what
were scarcely more than Indian trails.
In 1856 Mr.. Coulter bought his first
land, an eighty acre tract that is now
"a part Of his 24O-acre farm in Lis
comb township. He paid IS an acre
for the land, which is now probably
worth around $125. Times were then
hard, and money was so scarce that
the land was once sold for taxes and
Mr.. Coulter had hard time redeeming
1t.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coulter have reared
large family, and ten Of their eleven
children are living.
