East Africa's Biq Game.

Big game of British East Africa. out side of the three preserves of the col, ony, is rapidly vanishing and, accord ing to w. T. Hornaday, lis absolutely certain to disappear in about one fourth the time that it took South Af- rica to accomplish the same result" Mir. Hornaday points out that the pres ent legal bag limit is ruinously extrav- agant. For S2J0 any man may buy the right to kill 300 head of hoofed and horned animals of forty-four species. not counting carnivorous animals that may also be killed. Thus the richest big game fauna of any one spot in the world. which nature has been several million years in developing and placing there, seems likely to be wiped out by man within the next fifteen years Chicago News.

Tho Eoq Peril.

One of the great conquests of science for human safety will be the discovery of some effectual means of disclosing to every ship at sea the approach and position of any other vessel which may come near in fog. So far the fog peril remains as deadly as it ever was. In some respects the conditions change for the worse. The growth of con- merce increases the number of ships which traverse the seas. Every year the water highways are more fully oc- cupied, and the tendency is toward higher average speed. Nothing can be seen through a dense fog. Nothing can be heard with sufficient distinctness and certainty as to distance and direc- tion to meet the demands of safety. The best fog signals in use repeatedly fail to avert terrible disasters.-Cleve- land Leader.

BOOM
 HAS STARTED
Lake Superior Capacity Production Is Needed To Fill Euro
 pean Orders.

CALUMET, Mich, April 20-A con- servative estimate of the copper pro- duction of the Lake Superior country for March places the figure at 22,- 9O0,OOO pounds, almost record and an enormous increase over the output for February or any other month since the 1913 copper strike.
 Copper is being rushed east largely to meet enormous orders from Eu- rope on contracts made several weeks ago at from 14 to 15 cents, although sales for future delivery are now be- ing made be.ween 16R and 17 cents. A sale of 2,OOo,OOO pounds of Calu- met and Hecla copper on a European order, said to be from France, is re- ported this week.
 Every company on the lake is bend ing it's energies to getting out ca pacity product. Favorable market conditions are giving the companies an opportunity to make up something of the losses sustained through the war in Europe.

HIS DREAM MATERIALIZED.
Curious Incident In the Career of
 Novelist S. R. Crockett.

One morning the pOstman brought to S. R. Crockett, the novelist. a letter from the editor of the St. James Gazette containing small check as payment for contribution. Mir. Crockett knew that nothing was due to him. that he had been paid for all articles, and-remarkable man-he did the check up in an explanatory note and returned it to the editor.
 The next day back came the check from the editor-remarkable man with note saying it was due. The St. James Gazette had published an article from the pen of MT. Crockett which had not been paid for. hence the check. Again MT. Crockett-re- markable man-returned the check. and still the remarkable editor refor- warded it, this time with the article cut out of the columns of the St. James Gazette.
 Now comes the curious feature of the incident. When Mir. Crockett clapped his eyes on the article he was astonished to find it one of his dreams materialized. One night, going to bed extra tired, he dreamed that good idea for a St. James Gazette column had occurred to him, that he then and there sat down. wrote it and posted it.. Next morning he remembered his dream and made up his mind some day to write the article exactly as he dreamed he had written it, when. to his astonishment. came article and check from the newspaper. Few writ CTS earn checks while asleep-London Standard.

JOHN LEGG'S PLAIN TALK.
Made In an Advertisement He Put In

Made In an Advertisement He Put In
 the Paper In 1887.
 Advertising in the Sun three-quarters of century ago was worded more pie turesquely than it is now in some re- spects. No big type was used, but the advertisements hit the mark without it's aid. It is to be doubted if some of the advertisements which appeared then could get into print now, for they were outspoken to a degree which would offend modern susceptibilities. For example, here is an advertisement which appeared in the Sun of May 26. 1887:
 To Shoemakers-10 Kackmen Wanted.- The subscriber gives the highest city wages for good work and begs those worthies who would filch him of his stuffs not to visit him. It would be an agree able surprise to him if John Kemp, Thom- as Pringle, Isaac Morgan and a few oth- CTS would bring in the work they have so long Forgotten" to return
 JOHN LEGG. 164 9th avenue.
 The trade supplied cheap and good.
 "Kackmen" seems to have gone out of use completely. It is not given in any of the modern dictionaries, but one of them has "cack, baby's shoe," which 1t calls shoemakers' cant.
 In the same number of the Sun T. Baxter of Fulton street advertised that he wanted broken bottles, but he did not state his use for them. There are several advertisements for men to go on whaling voyages.-New York Sun

Breaks Record for Long Fast.

WARSAW, Ind, April 20.-James Robinson is gradually taking on weight again. He lost 100 pounds in fifty-seven days, and incidentally set new record for fasting in so doing. Robinson's troubles was that he had no appetite. He simply couldn't bear the sight of food. Finally he was in duced to take glass of buttermilk, and he gradually recovered. He had dropped from 230 pounds to 130. This upsets the theory of medical science that fifty:flve days is the limit of a mans endurance without food.

INVERTED THE DUEL.

 Weapons and Conditions.


 Weapons and Conditions.
 Representative Borland of Missouri gives an account of the challenge to duel which occurred in Louisiana, sup posedly among the last challenges of that environment in the state. The affair was between gentleman who belonged to one of the oldest families there and a sturdy blacksmith of Geor- gia, who had become man of political influence.
 The gentleman took offense at some remarks of the Georgian andsent him & challenge The powerful blacksmith was nOnplused.
 "T know nothing about this dueling business,' said he and positively will not fight
 "'You must urged his friend. No gentleman can refuse
 "T am not a gentleman replied the honest citizen of Georgia. Pm only a blacksmith
 "'But you will be ruined if you do not fight continued his friends. You will have the choice of weapons, and you can choose so as to give yourself an equal chance with your adversary '"The giant requested time in which to consider the matter and ended by accepting. He sent the following reply to the Louisiana gentleman:
 "I accept, and in the exercise of my privilege, stipuate that the duel shall take place in Lake Pontchartrain in six feet of water sledgchammers to be used as weapons As his adversary was about five feet eight inches in height and the blacksmith was seven feet, the con ceit of the latter so pleased the Louisi- ana gentleman that he declared him. self satisfied. as he was one who could appreciate a joke as well as perpetrate one. and he declared the duel off, f"-Eychange.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
The Old Time Custom of "Plowing at
 the Horses TaiI."

the Horses Tail"
 Animals seem to have no idea of ex- ercising to keep warm. They just turn their backs to the wind and crouch, but perhaps if one had only limited smount of fuel it would be better just to keep spark alive till the snap was over than to burn it all out in few hours.
 The first legislation against cruelty to animals is said to have been an enact ment passed in the days of Queen Elizabeth prohibiting blowing at the horses tail." as then practiced in Ire land.
 This custom consisted in flashing the blow beam to the horses tail with a bit of rope and then, while one man held the blow, another walked back ward before the animal, guiding 1t with blows, of stick. It seems as though this plan must have cooked the blow so high into the air that the point would take no hold on the soil. It seems also as if only the most spirit less of equines would have submitted to the treatment, but that 1t was ire quently done the act against 1t proves. The cruelty of the practice needs no demonstration; it could not have been profitable, but was perhaps preferable to starvation. Whether the English leg islators were moved solely by pity of the miserable beast or whether they desired to make market for English blows and harness does not appear.- From "A Farmers Notebook" by c. ID, D. Phelps.

Real Thrift In Derbyshire.

An admirable thrift prevails at a certain Sunday school in Derbyshire, and this is effectually demonstrated at the annual tea party. The needless expense of printing new tickets for this festivity is avoided. says the Man. chester Guardian. by the simple ex- pedient of using the same year after year. Those at present employed bear the inscription:
 Queen Victoria: Diamond Jubilee.
 Admit one to tea. Probably the majority of the young revelers had not been born when the tickets were printed.

AT OUTS WITH WIFE
BUT MUST PAY FOR RING

When Frank l.. Russell decided to
get married, and took his bride-to-be
TO a jewelry store for an engagement
ring. he learned that II would have to
be specially fitted. The ring was
made to At the finger Of the future
Mrs. Russell, and the clerk slipped
1t on. Russell signed contract to
pay $3.50 for 1t.
Now the Russells are separated. A
divorce case is pending, and Goats
Bros, the jewelers. who made and
sold the ring, brought suit against
Russell for $135, the balance due. In
Justice Marschner's court, Thursday
afternoon, Russell was charged with
obtaining goods and converting them
to his own use without paying for
them.
His lawyers presented Q lengthy
brief. How could ne convert the ring
to his own use. when his wife 10 wear
ing II now, and always has worn It?
How could he be accused OF accept
ing delivery of the ring, when he
never even touched It? Didn't the
clerk In the store put 1t on the future
Mrs. Russell's finger?
Justice Marschner considered all
these questions and then admitted
that there never, had been an actual
delivery to Russell.
But" he said, "there was con-
structive delivery, and even though
you haven't got the ring, you signed
the contract and will have to pay"
