TLa EIanb,,4 That ne.rIv Get T E

The Elephant That Nearly Got T. R.
 E. J. Cunningham, the famous Ar rican hunter, who was in charge of Colonel RooSeyeits hunting eXpedi- ton in East Africa, sad lie had neV- CT found any other so easy to get along With and no other man Who, b. his character, made everyman in his service so anxious to do the best possible for him. He tells the follow n1g story of "cne very near squeak the Colonel had. Sa z he:
 The Colonel was determined to get an elephant and q tuakef at that. | told hlrn what that meant and how much risk there Was but he sad tat he was willing to face it. That was the Colonel all over.
 We found an elephant in a forest on Ken a Mountain. We had bee l hunting for tAree days. and it was hard work for q nlaL of the Col9ael tude. II, ,O00 feet. At last 1 caught sight through a th ok bush of eie- phant hide. and a tusk, about thirty ! five feet away, just near enough U . tell me it was a fine specimen. 1 pointed it out to the Colonel. He fired with complete c2II'ees e~t a :. elephant in the ear and dropped him. "As the shot went on ts.e IJIesC ,--f around roared aloud with trumpet l ings We were in the midst of a herd i of cows and young bulls. and one Of i the latter thrust his head through tho i bushes right over the Colonefs head. i I was right behind him, fired at once and bowled him over.
 Then I rushed up to the Colonel i and said. Are you all right sir?' But I could see he was before I spoke.
 He hadn't turned hair. At any mo- ment the cows might have blundered l through the bush over at us, but he | never thought of that. He went up to the old chap he had killed and gave it the coup de grace and then lei
 himself loose I never saw man so
 boyishly jubilant."

the desert loom. It's charm lies not in intricacy of design. manifold detail, or symbolic meaning. It is not a picture in wool. Brillancy of coloring it does not have. But in richness of tone the | Tekllintzi wins it's rightful place as queen of rugs.
 Its symphony of soft and somber color has it's major and minor chords. 1 From one direction it is dark and quiet and soft But as the light strikes down into it's ve-vety nap. it shines with light overtone and reveals a sheen Like i that of silk, such as can come only 1 from years of contact with the fexi- l ble high-arched feet of the desert
 mother or the heel-less boots of her master
 Years of care in selecting the long i fibered, spotles5 wool, in dyeing it in reds from Bokhara, blues from
 Afghanistan, or blacks from Merv with a touch of orange or yellow now and then, and in weaving it beneath i the hot sun of the dry desert, give the Tekllintzi a character which more hur- ried methods cannot give. It reveals no trace of foreign accent. for it's lan- 1 gu2ge of lasting beauty is bred in the 1 blood.
 For centuries possibly extending l back to the lrani2n peoples whom Al 1 exander found here on his way to In- dia, the Tellke maiden has been taught
 to dye and weave. When she was mar ried to her Mohammedan husband, the young bride took with her to her mas ter's hut the rugs her patient toll had formed, and he in turn paid a corre- spending price to her parents. Her dowry was her skill and it's product. She was a menial, but with the soul of an artist. Her toll was long, but it was not drudgery. She was not a slave for her work demanded the in spiration of a soul. and she had an eaviable position compared with that
 of many of her Oriental sisters in
 polygamy.
 Gradually these masterpieces in mahogany, deep chocolate, terracotta
 old rose, burnt orange and black found
 their way to America, where their ap-
 peal was irresistible. Buyers raced one i another across Europe into the Trans caspian home of history to secure the
 priceless treasures of a conquered race
 The skill of the Tekke woman began tc win it's reward. Her genius had caused the art world to wear a path to heI hut and her open-air loom. But there
 was the unhappy side.
 "Only the rich young Turkomans could afford to buy wife at the exor- bitant price her skill made possible Parents raised the price of theil daughters. consoling themselves witf the fact that if they could not produce offspring they could at least produce
 valuable rugs. The age of marriage became higher. Caught in the tral which skilful women had woven. thu young men revolted from the exagger | ated demands of the avaricious ant unromantic parents and sought cheap
 CT wives elsewhere, while Tekke wom en, robbed of love and enneshed il
 their own skeins of fine wool, dragge : out busy lives of hated spinsterhood,
