PsnaI SerNituds For Life.

1t is popular error in England
that penal servitudc "for life"
means in reality "for twenty years. "
Of course it is no such thing. Penal
servitude for life means precisely
what it SAYS, neither more nor less.
True, all life sentences are recon-
sidered at the end of twenty years,
and If the convict's conduct has
been all that it ought to be during
the whole of that long period he
may be tentatively released on a
ticket Of leave. But obviously that
is a very different thing from let
ting him 60 free altogether. He is
still a convict and will remain one
to the end of his days. lie has to
report himself every month until
death frees him, and If he swerves
from the narrow path ever so lit
tle-and is found out-he goes
straight back to Jail without even
the formality of trial, to be re-
leased, as general rule. never
again.-London Answers.

Captain G. II. Stigand tells in his
book, Hunting the Elephant In
Africa" of narrow escape he had
from a young bull elephant. The
animal had charged the hunting
party, with the usual result that
the natives fled at their best speed.
He lodged sharply from the path
of the enemy and tripped over q
fallen tree, dropping his rifle and
just managing to seize II by the
muzzle as the elephant was about
to tread on il. He then dived head
foremost into the branches of the
fallen tree.
81 made frantic efforts to crawl
through, but a stout branch resisted
my progress, and ut the same mo-
ment the galongwa pushed in after
me and pushed me through the
branches on the other side. Two
drops of blood from his forehead
fell on my shorts, one on the thigh
and one 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 a rifle
still grasped by the muzzle, while
the elephant was executng a dance
and stamping up the ground the
other side, five yards from me, evi-
IDENTIFY thinking that was under
his feet.
81 quickly changed my rife round
and discharged it into his stern.
1t was the last cartridge in the
rifle. 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 rifle as waiter might offer
a dish. BY some oversight it had
not been loaded, for | had given
strict orders that none Of my men
we're ever to load or unload my
rifles. Being good soldier, Matola
had not disobeyed this order, even
under these extreme circumstances,
but had gone the nearest to loading
it he could.
"rhe breech was open, and he was
holding the clip in position with
his thumb just over the magazine.
All had to do was to press it down
as | took hold Of the rifle close TO
the bolt and was ready to fire.
The elephant was turning round
and shot him in the brain, drop
ping him dead"

SAVED BY HIS Wit.


Frederick the Great was very
fond OF hearing what the common
soldiers thought of him and often
frequcnted in disguise the taverns
where his soldiers caroused. One
day he went into a tavern and sat
down at table with an old sol
dier. The latter insisted on pay
ing for everything, and the king
noticed that the fellow had money,
although it was not pay day.
"lIow is it, comrade," said the
king, "that you can make your
money last so long?"
"That's easy enough if you know
the Prussian dodge" was the an
swer-"sell or pawn everything
that you don't need. Today, for
instance, | sold my sword and made
myself wooden one; that's good
enough in times Of peace" and the
soldier drew his sword and showed
the king II wooden one.
A few days later the king was
reviewing his troops, and he rccog-
nized his old acquaintance with the
wooden sword. He Immediately
dismounted, walked up to the man
and said TO him, DRAW your sword
and cut of my head"
"iour majesty" said the trem-
bling soldier, chow can | commit
such a crime?"
"Your first duty is obedience to
your king" shouted Frederick with
an angry voice. "Draw your swordv
Then the old fellow lifted his
eyes to heaven and with trembling
voice exclaimed: Il obey! But may
heaven change my steel sword into
a wooden one when | draw il to
strike my king" Thercupon he
drew his sword, and it was a wooden
one. With hearty laugh the king
mounted and rode on. - National

Speaking of grammar" said a
schoolteacher, 'it is possible, you
know, to form a sentence which
contains five consecutive that's.
For instance, 'lle said that that that
that that man referred to is an ad-
jective.' 1t takes some pretty clear
thinking on the part of my young
sters to solve the problem and parse
each word, but usually some Of
them do it. The first that is a con-
junction, the second is an adjective,
the third is a noun, the fourth a
conjunction and the fifth an adjec-
tive. Is it perfectly plain to you2"
