ROUTED THE ROGUE"
A Bad Elephant. Lighted Lamp and
Lucky Blow.

A Bad Elephant. a Lighted Lamp and =
Lucky Blow.
An odd experience fell to the lot Of
three men who were on tiger hunt
ing expedition in India
To prevent the invasion of mosqui-
toes and other insects that would be
attracted by the light in their quar-
ters the heavy cotton curtain which
formed the door Of the tent was closed,
across the table when suddenly the
whole tent shook. and rs they looked
round to see the cause the heavy cur
tain was roughly snatched away, and
in the open doorway appeared the
head of big elephant
The men had no time to catch up
their rifles They knew by the ap-
pearance OF the animal that he meant
mischief. Lifting up the roof Of the
tent with his head he threateningly
swung out his trunk at the man near
est him.
At this the hunter sprang to his feet
and, seizing the lighted lamp from the
table, hurled it with all his strength
against the animals forehead The
glass broke at the blow, and the blaZ
ing oil covered the animal's trunk with
sheet of flame.
With a cry of terror the beast drew
frantically back, shook off the curtain
and fed across the country, vanquish-
ed by a single blow from an oil lamp
1t was a fortunate act. for the animal
was no doubt a rogue" and wonld
probably have killed one or more OF
the men.-Exchange.

The first jaunting car was establish
ed in Ireland in 1915 by a Milanese,
Carlo Bianconi. who settled in Dublin
and drove every day to Caher and
back, charging twopence mile. From
this small beginning in 1887 he had
established sixty conveyances.

The extension of modern manufac-
turing towns and cities demanded still
greater conveniences. which were sup
piled at first by the omnibus lines,
which up to 1860 were the chief means
CT urban and interurban transporta-
ton. To these succeeded the street
railroad, traversed by cars drawn by
one or more horses. and these in turn
became wholly inadequate to meet the
demand of the suburban districts.
The cable car, drawn by underground
cable, was the next innovation, but
this about 1880 to 1890 was supplanted
by the electric trolley lines. and these
again We're supplemented in many cit
les by elevated and subway lines in
which the cars were propelled by elec'

latter device has already been applied
to extended lines of railroads, and 1t

fury will witness the electrification of

successful one. He was for many
years a very prominent figure in

ed the western district for three
terms in Congress, and previous to
that he represented the town OF
Scituate in the General Assembly.
He was for many years associated
in his law practise with the late
Franklin z. Owen, and their office
was one of the busiest in the state.
Since Mr.. Owens death the firm
has been known as Page & Gushing

high standing in law by his industry
and application to his profession
He made a most excellent record in
