charge of the locomotive at the tine
of the accident and he said that he

where near the track. He felt the
engine give a slight jolt. he said, buS
1t was not until LaniOlSin had been
reached that he learned some one had
been struck. and there he found a
handbag on the pilot.

about the same as the engineer, saying
that he felt the jolt and at LamolSin

on the watch to ward off the Indian inroads, and
to follow the warparties and try to rescue the
prisoners Once his daughter, and two other
girls who were with her, carried off by band
of Indians Boone raised some friends and fol-
lowed the trail steadily for two days and night
then they came to where the Indians had killed
buffalo calf and camped around it. Firing
from little distance, the whites shot two of the
Indians, and rushing in, rescued the girls On
other occasion, when Boone had gone to visit salt
lick with his brother, the Indians ambushed them
and shot the latter Boone himself escaped, but the
Indians followed him for three miles by the aid of
a tracking dog, until Boone turned shot the dog,
and then euded his pursuers In company with
Simon Kenton and many other noted hunters and
wilderness warriors, he and again took part in
expeditions into the Indian country, where they
killed the braves and drove off the horses. Twice
bands of Indians, accompanied by French, Tory and
British partizans from Detroit bearing the flag of
Great Britain, attacked Boonesborough., In each
case Boone and his feowsettlers beat them off
with loss. At the fatal battle of the Blue Lcks, in
which two hundred of the best rifemen of Kentucky
were beaten with terrible slaughter bv great force
of Indians from the lakes, Boone commanded the
left wing Leading his men, rife in hand he pushed
back and overthrew the force against him; but
meanwhile the Indians destroyed the right wing and
center and got round in his that there was
nothing left for Boone's except to fee with all
possible speed
AS Kentucky became settled, Boone grew restless
and ill at ease. He loved the wilderness; he loved
the great forests and the great prarie-ke gladcs,
and the life the little lonely cabin where from the
door he could the deer come out into the clear
ing at nghtfal The neighborhood of his own
kind made him feel cramped and i'll at ease. So he
moved ever westward with the frontier; and as
Kentucky filled up he crossed the Mississippi and
tha If Drarie country OF
Missouri where Spaniards, who ruled the territory,
made him an alcalde or Judge. He lived to great
age and died out the border, baekwoods hunter

EDGE of the country, and his ability to travel
through if. in spite of the danger from Indians,
created much demand for his services among people
who wished to lay off tracts of wild land tor their
own future use. But whatever he did, and wherever
he went he had to be sleeplessly on the lookout
for his Indian foes When he and his fellows TILED
the stump-dotted fields of corn one or more OF the
party were always guard with weapon at the
ready for fear of lurking savages. When he went
to the House of Burgesses he carried his long rifle
and traversed roads not mile of which was Tree
from, danger of Indian attack The settlements in
the early years depended exclusively upon game tor
their meat Boone the mghtiest OF all hunters,
so that upon him devoved the task OF keeping his
people supplied He killed many bufaloes, and
picked the buffalo beef for in winter lie killed
great numbers of black bear, and made bacon OF
then precisely if they had been hogs The com
mon game were deer and elk AT that time none
of the hunters of Kentucky would waste shot on
anything so small as praire-chicken or wild duck;
but they sometimes killed geese and swans when
they came south in winter and lit on the rivers But
whenever Boone went into the woods after game
he had perpetually to keep watch lest he himself
might be hunted in turn He never lay IN wait at
gane-lick save with strained to hear the ap-
proach of some crawling red foe. He never crept
up to turkey he heard calling, without exercising
the utmost care to see that it was not an Indian;
for one of the favorite devices of the Indians was to
initiate the turkey CALL and thus allure within range
some inexperienced hunter.
Besides this warfare, which went on in the midst
of his usual vocatons, Boone frequently took the
field on set expeditions against the savages once
when he and party of other men were making
salt at a lick, they were surprised and carried OH
bv the Indians The old hunter was prisoner
with them for some months, but finally made his
escape.and came home through the trackless woods
as straight as the wild pigeon flies. He was ever

The next few years were passed by Boone amid
unending Indian conflicts. He was-s leader among
the settlers, both in peace and in war. At one time
he represented them in the House of Burgesses of
Virginia; at another time he was member OF the
first little Kentucky parliament ITSELF and he became
a colonel of the frontier militia He titled the
land and he chopped the trees himself; he helped
to build the cabins and stockades with his own

How many children who have seen the great
clumsy elephants in the circus would imagine that
hese animals can be trained to be the play
things of children. 1t sounds strange indeed, but
it is true enough There is at least one little girl
who has trained elephant to do all sorts of tricks
and who has him daily playfelow. This little
girl is named Hattie, and her father is celebrated
trainer of wild animals in a great smenagerie The
elephant was brought from Ceylon some years ago,
and little Hattie took great and sudden liking to
him. Whether this elephant prefers life in Ceylon
to life in the menagerie is uncertain. though she
appears to be perfectly contented. At any rate,
those who have wide knowledge of such subjects
say that this elephant is the most intelligent and
the most amab1e elephant that can be found any
where.
The most amusing trick which the child taught
