A Grand Sight at a Waterloo.


1t was a long wait and I was almost
asleep, half dreaming, when the gem
tie touch of the shikaree brought me
back to business. He pointed across
the Wei. There was a slight noise. A
second or two later the broad horns of
a buffalo bull showed through the
leaves, and then came a COW with a
calf. They came to the water and
drank / did not shoot, as / wanted
one of the smaller antelopes. A little
later, as though by signal, Gland, wa
blue wildebeest, reedbuck, impala,
blesbok, oribi, giraffe, and dozens of
other animals too numerous to men
ton came down to the Wei.
1t was a grand scene; all these
graceful animals, as beautiful as
though they had stepped out of book
of fairy tales. mingling in perfect
friendship. There was not a quarrel
among them. The big-eyed, aristo-
cratic-looking pookoo rubbed horns
with the stately lechwe as they put
their clean. glistening noses into the
cool, inviting water. / was lost in adj
miration- I hated to. disturb the beau
tiful scene by a shot.
All at once like an arrow from the
tree above shot the form of leopard
onto the back of buffalo calf. In a
flash there was a wild stampede. All
ran but the buffalo COW, the mother of
the calf. When the calf was struck it
fell either dead or unconscious, and
the snarling leopard stood over its

The Giraffe - Awkward and
Harmless.

1t is peculiar that such savage
brutes as leopards and cheetahs are
marked much like the giraffe, the
most awkward and harmless animal
in Africa. At one time the giraffe
was common down as far as Cape
Town, but now it is found no farther
south than the Transvaa1. Gradually
it is being driven into the interior
The giraffe makes its home in the
desert country, being able to go for
long periods without drinking. There
are large herds on the Kalahari des-
ert, where they are practically safe
from the hunters rifle. CRATES are
also very common in the country to
which Mr.. Roosevelt is going. They
are easy hunting Before the passage
of the game protection laws I have
seen one party bring down 20 CRATES
in day.
1t is easy to form an idea of the
giraffe's awkwardness when you take
into consideration that the animal is
from 18 to 20 feet high, measuring
from the ground to its head, and it is
mostly legs and neck, the legs being
longer than the neck When giraffe
drinks it must spread its legs out an
an angle of about 80 degrees to lower
ter
The favorite method of the Beers in
hunting the giraffe is to ride it down
on horseback. This affords great sport
and a good horse will overtake one of
these animals after long chase. The
giraffe presents a peculiar spectacle
when it is running. The body seems
to gain on the head, which waves to
and fro and is jerked into position at
every second step. Mr.. Roosevelt will
have to depend solely on shooting for
his giraffe sport, as the country he
will visit in is not favorable to horse
hunting.
A source of amusement to the aver
age European sportsman who visits
East Africa is hunting the wart hog.
Although the Africander does not care
about hunting this animal, the Euro
pean seems to delight in it, perhaps
on account of the animals ferocious
and ugly appearance. 1t is armed with
pair of formidable tusks which it
can use with great effect on either
horse or man when it is cornered- l
have seen native gored so badly by
one that he died in an hour.
Each African colony las game laws
based on the prevalence or scarcity of
certain species of animals. Where
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to hunt it costs
$3.50 for huntsman's license. This
license under the British East Afri-
can game laws gives the following
privileges:
Each white man-rifie hunter-that
hunts in East Africa, is allowed to kill
two of each of the following animals:
Elephants (tusks weighing not less
than so pounds, rhinoceri hippopot-
ami, zebra, oryx. callotis Onyx bestia,
koodoo, topi, Neumann's hartebeest
colobus and other fur monkeys, aard-
varks, cheetahs. aardwolf marabout
and egret One of each of the fol-
lowing: Buffalo, Gland, sable, antelope,
roam antelope and bongo. Ten of

MINERS MEET TO DECIDE
What Course They Shall Pursue In
View of Refusal of Operators to
Grant Their Demands.
(Herald Specially

Scranton, Pa, March 23-Four hun
dred delegates and more than twice
that number of visitors, including
prominent officers and members of
the United Mine Workers in other
states, were on hand here today at
the opening of the convention which
is to decide what course the miners
shall take in view of the refusal of
the coal operators to grant their de-
mands. The convention represents
the whole OF the anthracite district.
The air is filled with rumors re-
garding the probable action of the
convention, but in reality the course
that will be taken is as problematical
as at any time since it became known,
that the wage agreement was not like
ly to be renewed without a stuggle.
What the outcome will be no one
can with any certainty predict.
There is undoubtedly strong
peace party among the officers and
leaders of the organization. Few of
the leaders appear to believe that a
strike at the present time, would
stand any chance of success and they
are using their utmost endeavors to
induce the convention to come to
terms with the operators and delay
the threatened fight at least until a
more opportune time. But whether
the peace party is strong enough to
overcome the radical element which
is loudly talking Strike is not at all
certain.
