Rhinoeeros a Bad Foe.

While easily stalked, the rhinoceros
Is q dangerous customer, as most men
will agree who have hunted him. If
tho rhinoceros gets ones scent he nj
most Invariably charges, often proba-
bly, from sheer curiosity, but that does
not make him any the easier to dis
pose Of. Moreover, he runs and turns
at n speed inconcciyable In beast of
his vast bulk. Against his massive,
sloping head the heaviest bullet is a
mere flea bite. leaving no possibility of

nose ball sent fairly into tho heart
through the chest An alternative is to
stand absolutely motionlcss, when
with his bad eycsght there is posi-
bility he may mistake you for tree

in the crisis Of any charge Is to stand
fast and still, for even the unwoundcd
lion sometimes swerves In his charge
and retires before man who has tho
nerve to wait his coming = Edgar

To the Editor of the Record.
have read Mr.. Biddlecomb' 5 plea
in the Record for bonding Ganavon
school district TO raise money for
current school expenses, and will
say that |, for one, am willing to
vote 10 bond the district to build
school houses wherever the needs
of the children demand it: for
school houses are for the use of
whoever may come after us, as we'll
as for those of the present. But |
am opposed to raising money in
that way to educate our own chill
dren, thereby compelling those who
follow to bear that expense. am
surprised that the school board
that must have known how much
was necessary to run the schools
did not levy a sufficient tax to cover
the expense. J. Don Tracy,
