GAME OF SEASON

with defeat at the hands Of the
Buckingham players. Keota put up
good fight. but were badly defeat
ed. The last game OF the season
was Wednesday night, when Raymer
played our team on the home floor.
The girls were handicapped by lack
of practise and the loss of two of
their best players and so were de.
feated by a large margin. Viva Rus
sell, our captain, was badly hurt in
the first half and altho she played
the remainder of the game she was
unable to play In her usual manner
or do herself justice. Our boys show
ed splendid fighting spirit. and very
interesting game was played. Ro-
land Rumsey, as forward, certainly
did some good playing. making all
Of the baskets for the Keota team,
or 10 free thrGws and 8 field baskets.
The Raymer boys and girls played
good, clean games, and the Keota
teams took their defeat with their
usual good nature. for which they
are noted. The score for the boy
game was 20 to AZ In favor of Ray
mer. Grover and Raymer are now
tied for the shamionship, which tie
will be played of in the, near future
at the gymnasium at Eaton.
These games ended the basket ball
games for this season. and altho we
had splendid material for teams, Ke-
ota was defeated in every game, be-
cause they had no coach, while all
OF the other towns had man paid
to coach their teams. 1t is to be
hoped that next year 1t will be seen

q wish one day for some elephants
to experiment with in domestlca ton,
and the natives, with their usual de-

their determination to crafty my wish
and 80 determined in their pursuit Of
the young elephant that the mother
elephant knocked over and killed three
of them. But finally they succeeded
In their object, capturing the calf, and
to my great surprise It trotted into
camp behind one Of the men.
This little creature was at the time
only four feet high. In two days 1t
had become perfectly tame, and would
follow human being as readily as his
own mother. 1t was easy enough to
feed him with milk, because all that
was required was a bottle with long
neck. This bottle was filed with cows
milk diluted with water, and poured
down the elephants throat. Soon all
that one had to do was to place the
neck of the bottle In the elephants
mouth, and the intelligent creature
wound Its trunk around the neck Of
the bottle, tilted 1t up, and absorbed
the contents. For several weeks the
elephant throye and became n most
delightful pet. 1t would allow any
one to ride on Its back, and seemed
to take pleasure and amusement In
this exercise. 1t would find Its way
through diverse passages into my sit
