FOUR DOLLARS

Telephone Suit.

Washington, March 27.-Whether
telephone companies may cut off
service to al individual because of
failure to pay bill for past service
may be passed upon by the supreme
court.
Mrs. Adelia P. Danaher, of Little
Rock, Ark, has obtained judgment
for $500 damages agains the South
western Telegraph and Telephone
company for cutting off her tele-
phone service for 60 days. The COM
pany appea ed to the supreme court
for a reversal and the court has TAX
en- the case under advisement. Mrs.
Danaher filed a brief prepared by

ing public servant, cannot refuse
to serve any one of the public in that
capacity in which it has undertaken
to serve the house when such one of
fers to pay its rates and abide by its
reasonable regulations. The court
held it could not refuse to serve an

DROPPED ELEPHANT IN TIME
Hunters Narrow Escape From Huge
Brute Which He Had Wounded
and Maddencd With Pain.

Capt. G. H. Stigand tells in his new
book, Hunting the Elephant in Afri-
ca" of a narrow escape he had from
a young bull elephant. The animal
had charged the hunting party, with
the usual result that the natives fed
at their best speed He lodged sharp
ly from the path of the enemy and
tripped over a fallen tree, dropping
his rifle and just managing to seize
1t by the muzzle as the elephant was
about to tread on 1t. He then dived
head foremost into the branches Of
the fallen tree: 81 made frantic eff
forts to crawl through, but a stout
branch resisted my progress, and at
the same moment the Galongwa
pushed in after me and pushed me
through the branches to the other
side. Two drops of blood from his
forehead fell on my shorts, one on tho
thigh and ono on the knee. Instead
of pushing me straight. through in
front of him, though, he kicked me
sideways. The impetus he gave me
bent aside the stubborn branch and
the next moment | found myself
crawling out on hands and knees on
one side of the tree, with rife still
grasped by the muzzle, whilst the ele-
plant was executing a dance and
stamping up the ground the other
side, five yards from me, evidently
thinking that / was under his feet.
Il quickly changed my rifle round
and discharged It into his stern. II
was the last cartridge in the rife.
Having fired, the rifle was taken out
of my hands, and found Matola, |
who had counted the shots, standing
beside me, serving me the second RI |
fie as a waiter might offer a dish. BY |
some oversight 1t had not been loaded |
and had given strict orders that |
none Of my men were ever to load or |
unload my rifles. Being a good sol. |
dier, Matola had not disobeyed this |
order, even under these extreme cir |
cumstances, but had gone the nearest |
10 loading 1t he could.
"The breech was open and he was |
the clip in position with his |
thumb just over the magazine. All I !
had to do was TO press II down as |
took hold Of the rifle, close the bolt, |
and was ready to fire. The elephant |
was turning round and shot him In |
the brain, dropping him dead"

CHANGING FASHIONS IN FOOD
Niands That Were Considered Indie
pcnsable Centuries Ago Have
Entirely Disappeared.

The art Of cooking has declined,
and that is in part due to the chang
ing fashions in food.
For instance, in Germany in the
middle ages many vegetables were
eaten which have long since disap-
peared from the table, such as violet
leaves mixed with young nettles,
thistles and green wheat, and boiled
hemp seeds.
Salads were made of mallow
leaves, celery roots and purslane
mixed with salt and pepper, for oil
was almost unknown. Olive oil was
considered to smack of effeminacy
and Italian luxury. Horseradish
sauce was used instead.
The origin of sauerkraut is lost
IN antiquity. But it was certainly
invented by the German hausfrau
long before cauliflowers or artichokes
or potatoes were known.
The potato revolutionized the fare
OF the poor, who had formerly to
rely on the roots of wild plants. The
variety of meats was larger, includ-
ing beavers, and in the case of Berne
bears were kept for food. Spices and
aromatics were much sought after
and far more used for cooking.
Ginger and nutmeg were used to
flavor many dishes that have now
vanished from our tables. And for
tunately in this country and Ger
many the dishes of small birds of all
kinds that were an essential feature
of a dinner have also gone out of
fashion. We no longer bake black.

Lead Balls Do Not Rebound.

Make two equal balls of lead, shoot
them about on billiard table, and you
will observe some actions that seem
extraordinary. In the first place, if
they strike each other head on they
come to dead stop; they do not re-
bound. for lead has no elasticity.
If they strike each other at an angle
the result is what is called couple; +"
the balls rotate around each other for
a part of one turn, and each moves
of in straight line tangent to the
circle in which they are moving.

A daughter of the household, es-
pecially panicky where cats are con-
cerned, was sitting peacefully in the
freight at the witching hour. Sud-
denly she noticed a black something
on the radiator. Finally the object
developed fur, black fur, and two
yellow eyes. Even a faint meouw
was borne to the ears of the Mortified
woman. She frantically called the
maid. The maid also had acquired
the, family fear of cats.
Uttering a shrek, she rushed up
stairs to call the other daughter of
the cat-fearing family. Not having
seen the frightful black object, the
daughter upstairs thought the maid
had suddenly gone mad. Since calm
ness was necessary in such cases, she
would be calm. She would humor
the maid in her hallucination. and
together they descended the stairs.
Horrors, it was true! There was a
black cat.
Rallying all their courage and
armed with pokers and brooms, they
stealthily approached the radiator
and found-not a black cat with
frightful yellow eyes, but a pair Of
