into national fame. He was matched

Sharkey to be a set.up. but neverthe.

Sharkey had no science. Ch0ynsky
was one OF the cleverest heavyweights

hit Sharkeyg so hard that he fell
through the ropes on the floor outside.
Twice Sharkey got to his feet and
scrambled back into the ring In the

ChOynsky so terribly that his seconds
threw a towel into the ring to save
him from being knocked out
In 1898 Sharkey gave Jim Jeffries
the hardest fight he ever had. For 20
rounds the two pugs battered them

HUNTED By WILD elephant

The hunter and taxidermist. Carl E
Akeley. who has spent a great deal OF
painstaking effort in preparing the
wonderful animal groups at the Ameri'
can Museum of Natural History. Is
known throughout South Africa as an
elephant hunter. He has had many
thrilling experiences. one of which he
describes in the New York Sun as fol-
lows:
Elephants are no more conspicuous
in their own country than jack rabbits
are in theirs. They are the color Of
the shadows in the forest and almost
as indistinguishable. Intelligence and
vindictiveness are two of their most
prominent characteristics. When one
knows he is being hunted he will lie in
wait, still as a rock. and looking much
like one. and will hunt his hunter as
a dog hunts a rat.

well enough that he was lying in wait
for me somewhere. The big beast. as
it turned out afterwards. got my wind
as was stalking him, and was search

I must have got within ten or twenty
feet of him, because l remembered
afterward that heard a swift rush
but did not catch sight of him coming.
The first 1 knew of his presence was
quick vision of his trunk as he
knocked me down. Then caught one
glimpse Of his little eyes rs he curled
up his trunk out of the way and tried
to ilnpale me with his tusks.
I had just time to grasp tusk with
my left hand and twist myself so that
my body was between the two shafts
of ivory. l felt the impact of his tusks
as they dug into the ground on either
side of me. and his heavy nose crushed
against my chest. That is all I re-
member.
My hunter fortunately shot him dead
as he was preparing for another
thrust. was unconscious as they car
ried me to the camp, where l lay for
three months, with my chest so
crushed that it was doubtful whether
or not l should live.

"Oh. no. l couldn't think of that,
Kitty!" Hazel faltered. "You know
I'd love to, and it's awfully good of
you, but l think I'm just about ready
to 60 away from Granville"
"Well, come and stop with us till
you do co." Kitty insisted. 1--WE are
going to take furnished cottage for

dear, knowing people as l do, l can't
blame you for wanting to be where
their nasty tongues can't wound you. =
But Hazel was obdurate. She would
not inflict herself on the one friend
she had left. And Kitty, after a short
talk, berated her affectiOnately for
her independence and rose to 60.
"For," said she, 81 didn't get hold of
this thing till Addie Horton called at
the hotel this afternoon, and I didn't
stop to think that it was near teatime,
but came straight here. Jimmie'll
think I've eloped. So ta-ta. I'll come
out tomorrow about two. I have to
confab with house agent in the fore
noon. By-by."
Hazel sat down and actually smiled
when Kitty was gone. Somehow q
grievOus burden had fallen off her
mind. Likewise. by some psychology
ical quirk, the idea of leaving Gran
Vile and making her home elsewhere
no longer struck her as running away
under fire. She felt that she could
adventure forth among strangers in
a strange country with better heart,
knowing that Kitty Brooks would put
swift quietus on any gossip that
came her way.
So that Hazel went down to the din

meal was finished came back and fell

where there is low, rough pasture land
with natural supply of water. Geese
are generally quite free from disease
and insect pests. but occasionally are
affected by ailments common to poul-
try. Grass makes up the bulk of their
food, and for this reason pasturage is
essential. A body of water, while not
absolutely essential, is valuable where
geese are raised. and some breeders
consider it important during the breed
Ing season. Geese are good foragers,
and for this reason many farmers In
the South keep them to kill the weeds
in the cotton fields.
Geese need little protection in the
way of a house, except in winter and
during stormy weather. Some kind of
shelter should be provided for the
young goslings, and the same precau-
lions taken in raising chickens as to
keep the coops and houses clean and
provided with plenty Of straw scat
tered about the floor, should be taken.
Geese like other kinds Of poultry,
should be selected for size, prolificacy
and vitality. They should be mated
several months prior to the breeding
season to obtain the best results. Good
matings are not changed from year to
year unless the results are unsatisfac-
tory. A gander may be mated with
from one to four geese, but pair or
trio matings usually give the best re-
suits. When mated, geese are allowed
to run in flocks. From four to twenty
five geese may be kept on an acre Of
land, and under most conditions ten

Geese are usually killed and picked
in the same manner as other kinds of
poultry. Some markets prefer dry
picked geese, while in other markets
no difference is made in the price of
scalded or dry-picked geese. When
feathers are to be saved, fowls should
not be scalded but should be picked
dry before or after steaming.
