BOUT WITH ELEPHANT
Bio Game Hunter Has Exciting
Experience in Africa.
j. Morewood Dowsett Is Surprised
When Big Beast Turns and Runs
Away After Downing and
Trying to Trample Him.

London.-A good elephant yarn is
told by J. Morewood Dowsett, we'll
known big game hunter, who has just
returned from a hunting trip in South
Africa.
He was hunting elephants in Ugan-
da when information was brought him
Of the whereabouts Of large herd.
With a native chief and house boy,
he started to find them. The party
came upon the herd in the forest.
Mr. Dowsett got several photographs
within 20 yards of the beasts when
the chief warned him that they had
been scented" and that the animals
were coming for them. Snatching up
his rifle Mr.. Dowsett shot and killed
the leader, a big bull.
While some surrounded their leader
many of the beasts stampeded, and,
running the wrong way, Mr.. Dowsett
was cut off from the party. Reload
ing his gun, the hunter dashed off for
safety and ran into big bull ele-
plant which crashed through the bush
six yards in front of him.
Trunk aloft, ears extended and
trumpeting wildly, the beast rushed
at Mr. Dowsett and swept him to the
ground with his trunk and turned rap
idly in it's own length ready to tram
pie him.
The hunter took a flying dive under
the monsters belly, realizing he would
then be on the right side of the wind,
but the beast turned rapidly round and
again tried to trample him. Instead
the animal rolled him over and over
with its legs and the hunter saw above
him the two great tusks as the beast
tried to maneuver his body into posi-
ton and pick him up. Mr.. Dowsett
managed to roll behind the animal and
get to his feet and make rush for
cover. To the hunters relief and sur
prise the furious beast set off in the
opposite direction and disappeared.

Hayward's Philosophy
3. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.

Each soul is launched on the river of
life,
In a craft which is fragile and frail;
A river beset with hardships and
strife,
And storm swept by many gale.
But along it's whole course, are warn
ings which tell
OF the dangers on every side;
If we would but heed them, all would
be well,
For safely our course they would guide
These warnings were placed there to
help us along,
They are placed where we all have to
read them;
The warnings are right, but we often
go wrong,
Just because we have failed to heed
them.
We leave all the channels of safety
behind,
We ignore all the warnings we've
read;
We thought we were safe but suddenly
find
There are dangerous rapids ahead.
We bend to the oar, and work with our
might,
AS our craft on the wild waves is
tossed
We struggle and pray to be guided
Alright,
For we see how the needless are lost.
This River of Life leads on to goal,
Where the good may forever abide;
So remember your craft holds an i'm
mortal soul,
And you are its pilot and guide.

Fourth Number Of the Lyceun Course.
BANQUET LAST NIGHT

Owing to yesterday being the
coolest day Of the present win
ter, only about half of the total
membership Of the Eagle River
Development Association attend
ed the annual banquet at the op-
era house last night.
An elaborate program of eats
furnished by the Hotel CONNER
cial and served by the Eagle Riv-
er Woman's Club, was served at
T:30 and afterwards the report
Of the accomplishments Of the
past year were read and the re-
ports Of officers accepted. The
organization of Eagle River as
an Incorporated village was the
outstanding feature of the work
done last year and it was unani
nously decided to take up the
matter of providing a better
drinking water supply for the
town, as the main business of
the coming year.
Short addresses were made by
various business men regarding
work within the scope of the or
ganization, and one of the very
best talks We have heard in a
long time was the remarks made
by County Agent Gibson, in ref
erence to the necessity for a
closer cooperation between Eagle
River and the surrounding farm
ing communities from which it
draws the largest portion Of its
revenue.
C. H. Wiegand then laid before
the meeting a proposition recent
Iy proposed by local business men
toward the building of new
hotel on the vacant corner across
from the depot, provided that
sufficient capital can be raised to
finance the undertaking. AS out
lined the ground floor of the
building would be occupied by
one Of the banks, with two 9TH
err sections for rental for business
purposes, and hotel lobby, din
ing room and kitchen, and the
second floor entirely devoted to
sleeping rooms. The general SEN
timent seemed disposed to assist
the matter along and there is
scarcely any doubt but that the
project will be put under way as
soon as the weather permits.

HOW DID YOU DIE?
RY Edmund Vance Cooke


Did you tackle that trouble that came
your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or did YOUR face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a troubles a ton, or troubles
an ounce,
Or trouble is what you make it,
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well, we'll,
what's that?
Come up with smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down
fiat,
But to lie there-that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
1t isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts;
It's how did you fight and why?
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
If you bolted the best you could,
If you played your part in the world
of men,
Why the critic will call it good,
Death comes with crawl, or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts,
But only how did you die?
