How to Kill Elephants.

"Nimrod" writes us: please print
instructions as to the best way to kill
elephants, as l am planning a big
game hunting trip through Africa"
Shooting an elephant is, naturally,
the promptest way to kill it, but the
charge of shot is apt to spoil the plum
age. The best way is to locate the
nest, which usually will be found in
the top of a zinnia tree. Here the
elephants and their young slumber
during the heated period of the day,
and at dusk they venture out for a
bath and a drink. Having located the
nest, cautiously station yourself at the
foot of the tree. Prior to this you
should have learned the cooling melody
of the elephants drinking and bathing
song, which they sing to one another
as they come from their nests and pro-
Ceed to the sjambok wherein they dis.
port themselves along with the harte-
beestes and knobkerries. Your native
guide can teach you this melody more
perfectly than an imported guide
could. You will distinguish the native
guide by the domestic wrapper. I'm.
ported guides wear gilt band. Hav-
ing mastered the song and stationed
yourself in concealment at the foot of
the zinnia tree, wait until the sun is
disappearing behind the gigantic
bread-fruit and butternut trees from
which the natives pluck their lunch
cons while upon safari. Then begin
uttering the plaintive melody OF the
song. Soon you will hear rustling
in the branches of the tree. The ele-
plants, thinking that their neighbors
are already starting for the bath, will
leave the tree and climb slowly down
the tree. You see, you now have the
elephant at disadvantage, for it must
descend the tree head foremost, and 1t
can only fight while standing on its
hind legs. Or maybe it is a grizzly
bear that fights that way. However!
Watch closely, and when you see the
trunk of the elephant appearing
through the leaves at the bottom of
the tree, seize the trunk tightly in
your right hand, thus shutting OF its
breath and preventing its giving the
alarm to the others. Then with a
quick movement swing the elephant
over your head and whack 1t upon
the ground as hard as you can. With
the larger elephants it may be neces-
sary to give two whacks.

SYNOPSIS.
,yright, by Bobbs-Merrill Coz

Darlington loved Kate Cavenaugh,
daughter of Multi-Millionaire Henry Cav
enaugh. The latter liked Darlington but
refused him as a son-in-law. Young Car
rington, a lawyer, held evidence of Grim
inal financial operations, of which Cave
naugh was guilty. 1t was Carrington's
duty to prosecute the rich man, but he
decided to lay the whole matter before
Kate. He did so the next day. The young
woman decided that to drop the case
would be cowardly even though the ac-
cused was her father. Cavenaugh offered
Darlington a position at $4,000 year
He refused it. He hid his evidence IN the
Cavenaugh safe, after being introduced
to the mlllionaire's father. The evidence
was stolen that night. Kate's sister
Norah' confided that she had told her
grandfather the combination to the safe.
Darlington and Kate went riding. Grand
father Cavenaugh reappeared. He called
upon his son for $4,000 in return for the
delivery of the evidence stolen from Car
rington. The younger Cavenaugh re-
fused his request. Then Darlington was
called in to the conference and the
grandfather began his life story.

LOGIC NOT STRONG POINT.
French suffragist Leader Astonished
Her interviewer.

1t must be admitted that mere man
has some grounds for his contention
that the fair sex does not proceed
along the lines of logic in her mental
processes. Nine. Pelletier, the ener-
getie leader of the French suffragists,
has demanded that the first plank in
the platform of her party shall be the
right Of women to bear arms.
A reporter called upon her to ask for
further exposition of her views and
she calmly informed the da2ed news
paper man that she was an anti.miii-
tarist. To her entire satisfaction she
explained that she had no intention OF
sending womea to war, but that she
thought the training, drill and com
pulsory marching would be good for
them.
She herself dresses as nearly like a
man as the law will permit She wears
a short tight fitting skirt. mans coat
and skirt, with the accessories of mas
culine collar and necktie Her hair is
cut short and It speaks volumes for
the gallantry of her nation that the in

tresses as lending shade in their re-
