ness in Making His Escape When
Hard Pressed by Pursuer.

The boar Is p terrible enemy, and
also an alarmingly agile one. An Eng
lish sportsman tells of a splendid es.
cape made by one Of these creatures
IN India.
This boaF, which had been hard
pressed. galloped into a nullah. a very
sharp. deep cut, more like a narrow
chasm than a ravine. Down this, along
the bottom Of it he raced. followed
by man on a swift horse.
The banks on each side overhanging
the boar were six feet or more In
height Suddenly the creature turned
a sharp corner, which hid him from
view. Then. by tremendous effort
he scaled the bank and gained the top.
He turned short around, leaped the
entire width Of the nullah, and landed
safely on the other side, clearing both
horse and rider as he jumped, save for
the mans pith helmet which he
knocked off He had escaped by a
narrow margin.

Big business has taken stand
against the man who drinks. This
not because of any particular interest
in the effects of alcohol on mind and
body, scientifically considered, but be-
cause it finds the nondrinker the
more trustworthy employee. Returns
from employers of 100000 men show
that they forbid alcoholic liquors in
their industrial plants. A large cor
