Rhinoeeros a Bad Foe.

From Edgar Beecher Bronson's big Ganla
in East Africa" in the May Century.
While easily stalked, the ~rhinoceroa
is a dangerous customer, as most men
will agree Who have hunted him,
especially Benjamin Eastwood, chief
accountant of the Uganda railway, who
was nearly trampled to death by one,
with the actual loss of an arm above
the elbow. If the rhinoceros gets ones
scent, he almost invariably charges,
often, probably, from sheer curiosity;
but that does not make him any the
easier to dispose of.
Moreover, he run and turns at a
speed inconceivable in a beast of hts
vast bulk. Against his massive, slop-
ing head the heaviest bullet is a mere
flea bite, leaving no possibility OF a
stopping shot except with a hard nose
ball sent fairly into the heart through
the chest. An alternative Is to stand
absolutely motionless, when, with his
bad eyesight, there is a possibility he
may mistake you for a tree, and veer
past. Indeed, h best russ in the crisis
Of any charge is to stand fast and still;
for wen the unwOunded lion sometimes
swerves in his charge and retires be-
fore a nan who mas the nerve to wait
his coming.

A Wise Ikina.
From an Exchange.


King Christian, of Denmark, once
found In his morning mail a letter
which moved him more than did most
matters of state. Indeed, he declared
afterward 1t was q great matter OF
state. I'VE must not alone build for
the coming generation" he said, but
we must build the coming generation
The letter was In a boyish scrawl and
read as follows:
Dear King-We are four boys at
Flakkebjerb school and the master
whips US daily with a piece Of steel
rope he found In the harbor. If he
doesn't stop there will be a fire."
The name Of the teacher being given
the king ordered him to report at once
to the minister OF Justice, while he
took the next train for Flakkebjerb
and examined the class in the teachers
absence. The children, unawed by the
presence Of the cruel teacher, told their
grievance to the kindly old king, who
promised immediate relief, closed the
school for the day and ordered that the
boys be treated to chocolate and cakes
at his expense, "to remember him by"
But he did more than that. On re-
turning to Copenhagen he dismissed
the cruel teacher without pension, at
the same time giving a general warn
Ing to all teachers to be chary of cor
poral punishment. IF the boys can't be
trained without cruel beatings," this
wise king said, then there must be
something the matter with those whd
train them. The coming generation
must not be made ruffians by rufianly
teachers" =.

Baby Boy Had an Intense Itching
HumOr-Scsatched TIL Blood Ran
Found a Cure In Cuticura,
"Our son, two years old, was a6llct-
ed with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks I took him
to the doctor, but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large Bills
tiers. The little fellow didn't want to
do anything but scratch and we had to
wrap his hands up to keep him from
tearing the flesh open till the blood
would run. The itching was intense.
The skin on his back became hard and
rough like the bark of a tree. He
suffered intensely for about three
months. But l found a remedy in
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
The result was almost magical. That
was more than two years ago, and
there has not been the slightest symp.
tom Of it since he was cured. ]. w.

Knowing Things Too Well.

rIOII lllC INSW LOih OAH
Very often folks get to knowing q
thing so we'll that they don't have to
think to remember it. Take, for in
stance, you home address. If you have
been living in the same ous in the
same street for years your address
gets easier and easier to recall. Elk
cept, some times. 1t doesn't take the
influence of liquor to make you for
get either. 1t merely is that you know
1t too well.
There was a man who was in the
habit Of writing letters to a girl and
after a year or so he got to know her
address by heart. One day, long after
he started writing to her, he was ad-
dressing an envelope to the young
woman, when suddenly he became sus-
ten. He read it aloud and tried other
schemes of convincing himself. He
wrote the same numbers on other
sheets of paper, but they did not seem
entirely right.
Eventually he had to go over and
call on the girl, instead Of writing, in
order to satisfy himself that he still
knew the address. His figures had been
perfectly all right, but the trouble was
that he knew them o well.
That sometimes IA to a person
giving an address in a store. 1t slips
out so naturally that when by chance
the shopman repeats BLANK Blankety-
Blankth street," you begin to wonder
if you have it right after all. And the
first breath of suspicion kills your
chances of remembering correctly. You
simply have to go to the directory to
verify the place you live in, and nat
urally that leads to suspicious on the
part Of the s~hopkeeper.

MAKING SUNSHINE.

II Is Often Found An Pure Food.
The improper selection OF food
drives many a healthy person into the
depths of ~despairing illness. Indeed,
most sickness comes from wrong food
and Just so surely as that Is the case

and must die. My good wife gave up
all hope. We were at Old Orchard,

A man could hardly ever be crazy
TO go to church unless his wife didn't

The thing that makes 1t so easy for
a girl to fall in love is she expects it
OF herself.
What makes a girl proudest of the
mar she's engaged to is for his necktie
to match her complexion.
