A TUSK HUNTERS ESCAPE.
So Close Call the Native Really
Thought Himself Dead.

Hunting elephants for their tuskS in
cunning. Frequently the hunter be-
comes the hunted, and the tables may
be turned fatally 4 writer in Nc
Clure's Magazine tells of an escape,
vOuched for by IAN Indian dealer who
never lied about anything and who
claims to have seen this deliverance
exactly as he reported it."
Some natives were hunting elephants
in the neighborhood of Lake Rudolph,
and he was with them for the purpose
of trading cotton cloth for ivory. Ele-
plants like old bunch grass that has
become dry like hay, and a herd of
them, attracted by ''dry grazing" as it
Is called, came suddenly within an
eighth of mile of the camp.
One native named Juma, from the
coast, an unskilled hunter, observing
that the wind was in such a direction
that it blew news of the herd to him
rather than blowing his whereabouts
to the knowledge Of the herd, ran out in
the open with his rife and aimed at
SQOTl range Ut pOWeIIuI GREAT uIe
which was watering a struggling
shrub with water he had taken in his
trunk from the pond.
Once hit, the elephant was CORE
spondingly furious and rushed at
Juma after q deliberate scrutiny Of
the immediate foreground to discover
his whereabouts. Having determined
where his assailant stood, he tore along,
crazy with rage, toward the shaking
savage.
Juma, with an OrientaPs instinct of
prOstratiOn before such an OverWhelm-
ing force, merely threw himself fat
upon the ground.
The elephant rushed completely over
him, but by accident left him safe,
although chOked and blinded with the
disturbed and sandy soil. The great
feet cleared him, and the tusks missed
him.
Almost twenty-four hours passed be-
fore Juma dared believe himself alive
and sound, and for the first twelve
hours after the excitement he spoke of
himself only in the past tense. as Of
one dead.

Hot Weather Cause of Fires.

The State fire marshal states that
the hot, dry weather has easily been the
direct or indirect cause of more than
one half the fires which have occurred
in the state during the past thirty days.
One of the results of the hot weather
is the most general use of gasoline or
oil either for stoves or in pleasure
crafts and during the past month more
than one half the reports of fires have
given as the cause either the use of gas
oline in some manner or carelessness

DROPPED THE "TUB"
And Like a Good Girl Pronounced the
Word Correctly.

Word Correctly.
w. S. Gilbert contributed an anus
ing article on ACTORS and Authors" to
program of the London Drury Lane
theater. The following extract will
be read with appreciation:
The authors greatest difficulty lies
in the necessity of directing an actors
attention to an obvious mispronuncia-
tion-a feat that must be achieved
without humiliating the actor in the
presence of his professional brethren
Many years ago l was engaged in
rehearsing a burlesque, and a very
clever young lady had to sing the coup
let:
Individually if you do
1t will be the worse for you.
The clever young lady, whose pro-
nunciation was not always beyond re-
proach, delivered the lines thus:
IndubitubIy if you do
1t will be the worse for you.
This, Of course, would not do, so I
determined to alter the word to lin
evitably." The young lady agreed that
the alteration greatly improved the
verse, but she was not to be deprived
of her tub" so she sang it:
Inevitably if you do
1t will be the worse for you
This was just as bad, so l made it
'unquestionably," and, Of course 1t
came out:
UnQuestionubly If you do
1t will be the worse for you.
/ could think of no other word that
would answer the purpose. so, as q
last resource, l said to her:
"Do you think it advisable to give
the word it's French accent"
How do you meanW
"Why, 'unquestionubly' - that's the
way 1t is pronounced in Paris. In ad-
dressing an English audience perhaps
the simple English version of the word
would be better. Try 1t, at all events,
'unquestionably,' "a instead of u
'Unquestionubly' would be all very
we'll for the stalls, but the gallery
wouldn't understand it"
"Of course" she said, "the English
accent would certainly be more appro-
pirate"
And she sang it "unQuestionably"
like the good girl that she was.-Argo-

THE eRAFrERs VS.. THE HONEST
PEOPLE,

Commenting on the Pittsburg mum
cipal scandals, the enormity of whic
has shocked the whole country ia
Topeka Mail and Breeze makes som
observations that are of general al
plication In the hope that the les
son they teach will not be lost Ties
paragraphs are reproduced for tn
benefit of the readers of The Eagle
There are more good people
there than bad, a lot more. Nine
ty per cent of the people in any
city are reasonably honest and
want to see good clean govern
ment but the ten per cent OF
grafters frequently run the city
lust the same. This Is partly be-
cause the ten per cent lack the
brains and the courage or most
" the courage to go after the
grafters and drive them out OF
office and into the penitentiary
where they belong.
Most people are moral towards,
They are so afraid of hurting their
own business that they will keep
still and let a lot of Internal
scoundrels skin them like bunch
of lambs. Even when some man
does have the nerve 10 start some
thing 1t will be a wonder If he
finds the rest of the ninety per
cent or even a small per cent of
them ready to back him up In
the fight. That Is the reason graft.
ers flourish and fatten by their
rascality. But sooner or later
the CRATER overreaches himself.
He finds that grating Is so easy
and that the tax payers who are
being robbed are such towards,
he concludes finally that they will
stand for anything. He proceeds
TO rub their noses In the dirt,
so to speak. He makes no con
cealment of his rascality and
flaunts his spells in the faces of
the very people he has robbed
But finally he passes the limit
Some man is found with the cour-
age and the sense to organize
the ninety per cent against him
and then they are really surprised
10 find out how few real friends
the CRATER has.
Another thing that the average
CRATER never seems to think
about Is the fact that when the
ninety per cent really do get
worked mp they get bloodthirsty
II Is liable to become man hunt
with them. They thirst for ven.
geance just as the average mob
thirsts for blood and when the
wheels really begin to revolve
in dead earnest there Is hardly
any such. thing as stopping them,
So We look for number of
grafters in Pitstburg to land in
the penitentiary and some 9th
ers to blow their brains out to es-
cape the disgrace of conviction
and sentence. In the long run il
doesn't pay to be a CRATER even
as a matter of dollars and cents
10 say nothing of the disgrace and
humiliation that finally come to
the man who betrays his trust and
tries TO get rich by crime.
