HEN & man goes hunting tigers from the back.of an elephant, about one-third of the danger lies in the damage the tiger might do and the other two-thirds is contributed by the various things the elephant is liable to do. In fact, if the danger from the tiger were the only thing to consider, tiger hunting would be a favorite diversion: for so-

%‘7\ : ' & 8:'?‘:3. T

ciety hunt ¢élubs where tea is served a: the end. In a tiger hunt, anywhere from a half dozen to 100 elephants are used. When an Indian prince goes forth on a roval hunt, there are even more elephants than that brought along. When & normal man issues forth, he endeavors to get along with the half dozen. For elephants are expensive; thev cost all the way from $4OO to $1.200; a dollar a day to feed, besides -the pay of the éuides, which is not cheap. So that the man who has a tiger skin that he has captured him-

seif, upon his parlor floor, has probably paid close to $l.OOO for it. ‘ India is the only country in which eléphants are used for hunting. In Africa the elephant is not tamed; he is captured almost solely for his tvory. But in India the elephant is used quite entirely for hunting and working purposes. . The excitement of a tiger hunt begins long before a tiger is even sighted. The wild bees of India build_their hives in a hanging position on the limbs of trees. Very often these drop down ciose to the ground and the thick underbrush Thides them from view. It is a not infrequent incident of these hunts for an elephant to calmly walk into one of these hives and scatter the busy inmates in all directions, whereupon the bees quickiy recover and seek revenge upon the clumsy elephant and his riders, and all the other elephants of the party. Such an incident is a common occurrence that helps to enliven a tiger hunt and for the time being drives all thoughts of tiger skins from the hunters’ minds. The basket or howdah in which the hunter rides is another feature that often lends excitement to a hunt, such as no tiger could provide. The hunter, that is the gentleman hunter, who has gone to India -for the sport, occupies the howdah. This is a very large basket fastened to the elephant’s back by a very strong rope. The spectacle reminds one of a captain standing on his bridge, high above the iashing waves. The native sits on the elephant’s neck, or, to follow the same figure of speech, he i 3 down on deck. \ .

Now, elephants are often skittish and liable to fily off in a panic. They do this, quite forgetful of the captain on the bridge, and the result is that the tiger hunter often has to cling with both hands to the sides of the howdah and receive a severe shaking up as though he were a pebble in a tin can. Nor is this without its dangers. Often when the eléphant becomes panic stricken he will charge into a, jungle and tear madly about until he drops with fatigue. . Another danger is when an elephant gets caught in a tropical mire and flounders about. At these times the elephant will grope about for-anything he can-reach, to pg}(e down under his feet to get & firmer foothold. ?mall trees and branches are thrown to him which he dexterously arranges with his trunk and fore legs until he has built a foundation upon which he can rest. But at these times the elephant is hot scrupulous in regard to

the maiterial he uses. A story is told in Asia of an inexperienced hunter who, when his elephant was floundering about in this way, thought he would be doing it a service by dismounting. He did so: whereupon the elephant seeing ° likely fcundation material in him, snatched him with his trunk and buried him in the mire. | ' * And so, the actual tiger dwindles intoa minor role when he is hunted from the backs of élephants. In fact, some sportsmen|pooh pooh the idea of u,Ling elephants

at all. They call it parlor hunting. And, except for these incidental dangers, they are right. When a tiger charges, as he sometimes does, it is only the native on the elephant’s neck who is in danger. The man in the howdah is high aloft with a whole head. And if he should miss and the tiger come on, the worst that could happen is that he will have no driver to guide his elephant back to camp. Yet elephants are more or less indispensable in this kind of hunting. The Asian forests are very dense and stalking is not only very dangerous but it is often impossible. In some parts of the jungle no man can get through. The elephant, on the other hand, simply beats his head against an obstructing tree and flops it over. Anq then, too, he carries the supplies which, of course, are necessary on trips of this kind. :

The control its mahout (driver) has over the huge but docile animal is truly marvelous, as he verbally directs it here to tear down a destructive creeper, or a projecting bough, with its trunk; there to fell with its forehead a good sized tree that may interfere with its eourse in the line; or to break some precipitous bank of a mullah (water cougse) with its fore feet, to form a path for descendh:ﬁto it, and then, after the same fashion, to clam up the other side. And if its driver should chance to let fall his gujhag (iron goad) the elephant gropes for.it and lifts itup to him with his trunk. In tiger hunting, however steady an elephant may be, its behavior depends largely on the conduct of the mahout. If an elephant gets frightened he goes

among the tree jungle and then the chances of the man in the howdah grow slimmer with every stride of the animal. T The Call of the Jungie. ~ BY BERKELEY HUTTON. : Many a time I've come back from a trip, leaving half my men and all my ivory rotting in some dead.ly African swamp, half dead with fever, swearing that I'm done with the business for good. And some bright day, in six ?nonths, or even three, the smell of the jungle gets into my nostrils or the coughing roar of a lion’s challenge—and that settles the business. Back I go again, knowing precisely what is coming—the sweating days and the chilling nights, the torments of insects and of thirst, the risks and hardships, and the privations. For once Africa has laid her spell upon a man, he’s hers forever. He'll dream of her—of the parched and Blistered veldts he's crossed under the blazing sunlight; of the nights, those moonlit haunted nights when he’s watched beside a runway, waiting for the " game to come down to drink, and listened to the ripple of the water on the flats, the stealthly snapping of branches all around him, the scurry of monkeys overhead; listened to the vast silence, into which all smaller sounds are cast as pebbles are dropped into a pool.—Everybody’'s Magazine. ;

Mrs. Sloan’s Curiosity By Mabéll Shipple Clarke L

(Copyright, by Shortstory Pub. Co.)

A scene of embarrassment was in progress in Mrs. Parker Sloan's li.brary. Mrs. Sloan was very much a woman of the world, yet it was evident that there was an undercurrent of feeling beneath her air of calm attention. The young man before her, though usually of enviable self-posses-sion, wore an expression approaching guilt. The fact was that Mr. Simms —Mr. G. F. S. Simms, North Carolina, his card read, in the generous style in which southerners imply that they are known throughout their state—Mr. Simms was asking Mrs. Sloan for the privilege of marrying her daughter, and Mrs. Sloan very properly had asked him several questions, one of which he had declined to answer Hence the strained situation. - Not that it should be inferred for a moment that so practical and far-see-ing a person as Mrs. Sloan had not made investigation anent Mr. Simms, and his position, financial and social, long before his ardor had reached the present crisis. Left for many years a widow, she had proved herself an excellent woman of business, and when young Simms became devoted to Nathalie, she had, as a madster of course, written to a lawyer in the town from which he came, and asked certain questions which she felt sure that. Mr. Sloan would have asked had he been living. The reply had been satisfactory. G. F. S. Simms was the only child and heir of Mcßae Simms, a man rich, philanthropic and eccentric. Mr. Simms had left his son this, that. and the—ether real estate, valued at an amount that would have gone far to content Mrs. Sloan had his social position been- not so satist%etory as it was. She knew, hesides, that he had come to Boston well introduced, was a member of two good clabs, was good looking, with the dark hair and eyes that northerners think is more typical of the south than is 'true, and was well read, and altogether a desirable mateh for Nathalie. Of course Nathalie knew nothing of her mother's researches. She had been asked to be the handsome young fellow’s wife, and she had said that she would if mamma was willing. There was a Inok in her blue eyes—a

look strikingly like her mother’s, too—that said that she would even if mamma were not willing. '

And now this painful interview. It had mot bheen painful until after Mrs. Sloan had asked her guestions—very spontaneously, be it said, to the credit of her dramatic power—and received replies to them which cortoborated her North Carolina correspondent, and at last had said with her most gracious smile, for she could be very winning:

“My dear M 2 Simms, T see no reason why vou and Nathalie should not be happy, and as for me, ‘I shall be glad to have a son as well as a daughgopt

° Simms had beamed upon her, and had thought her charming, with- her fine figure, and snow-white hair rolled high above her still fresh face. ; - But she spoiled it all. Mr. Simms had known that it must come, sooner or later, Dut he wished that it had not come just now, when he was so happy. : e “It seems eunrlous te think that, though we know you so well, we don't know your first name. What am I to call -my son?” " Mr. Simms flushed, but answered vqithout hesitation: “My family and my intimate friends have always called me ‘G.”” 4 “‘G? How very strange! and what is it really?™ “Oh, a curious name of my father’s selection. I've told you, haven’t I, that he was eccentric?” : “I always say that a child ought not to have a name until he is old enough to be consulted about it. And yours is?”"—tentatively. : Simms felt that he must take his stand at once, and he replied with decision. ‘

“My name, Mrs. Sloan; is very disagreeable to me, and I have never used .anything but my initials. My family and friends., as I said, have called me ‘G, and I should prefer not to tell my Christian name even to you.” : : It was here that Mrs. Sloan’s appearance of calm attention was rufied just a wee bit by the irritation she was experiencing, and that the young man on the other side of the room wore a distinctly guilty look “But wouldn’t it be better for us to talk it over frankly now? You see there will be so many questions asked about a newcomer. Norham is like Concord and Andover—it requires a residence of three generations, at least, te remove the stigma of being a late arrival.” : She said it very well, but shé had met with an obstinacy equal-to her own.

¥Should it ever be necessary, Mrs. Sloan, you may depend upon me for meeting the necessity; and, until then, let me ask that you will not refer to the matter.” “And Nathalie?” : 4“1 suppose I may see her now?” returned Simms, wilfully misunderstanding her. : Mrs. Sloan .went to call her daughter, and “G” told her all about it, and she said that she didn’'t care the least bit in the world what his name was or whether he had any at all. However, as time went on, Nathalie saw an uncomfortable something in the mental atmosphere to which even the preparations for the wedding could not blind her. For one thing, her mother and her lover, the two people she loved most dearly, were on terms of formality which she could not change. Then the torrents of questions that her mother had ‘anticipated 'duly were asked, and Nathalie grew tired of saying: “He has a funny name that he doesn’t like, and I always call him ‘G’” and of being begged: “Oh, do tell me what it is, Nathalie, I'll never tell.” At first she owned frankly that she did mot know it, and o ok by 5

After several people had said: “I understand that you don't know what Mr. Simm’s name is, Nathalie,” and several more had hinted, just 7hinted delicately to Mrs. Sloan: *“Do you think it's quite safe to let Nathalie marry—er—you know?” And after Mrs. Sloan could endure it no longer. and had given her daughter a sound scoiding for the delinquencies of her lover—it was after all ™ fthis, that Nathalie told “G” all about it, and cried out all her worry and annoyance on the shoulder that its possessor hoped would bear her hurdens for her everniore. S

“Now listen, sweethreart. I'll tell you this miserable old name, and you can tell your mother and every one else, if you like, that vou know. it, but what it is I don't want you te makc known to any one at all unless I give you permission. Will you promise?” Of course Nathalie promised. Then:“G” whispered to her. “Oh, ‘G, not really? That's awful! Oh!” and the young girl sat aghast, looking at the man she loved as if he were a living curiosity. : “Isn’'t it a howler, pet? Do yon wonder I don’t use it? How do you think your mother would like it?” “Can’t you change it, ‘G'?!"

“My dear, it was given me by my father, a %\OOd man, but extremely ececentric. 'hen, as a boy, I rebelled against it, he deeclared that if 1 gave

Naturally, it was not soothing to Mrs. Sloan to know that her daughter knew a secret that she did not, even though it concerned Nathalie more nearly than it did her mother. As.the time appointed for the wedding drew near, Mrs. Sloan’s annoyance was SO great that Nathalie ventured to inter-

cede with “G.” . “Do tell her, ‘G.” I believe that once vou tell her, she'll forget all' this irritation and be sweet again.” “I tell you what, dear, I'll eompromise with her,” returned “G.” “You wait here while I go and speak to her,” and he ran up to Mrs. Slean’s sittingroom like a repentant schoolboy. “Mrs. Slean,” he said, ‘“l've eome to compromise. I'm truly sorry that not telling you my name anmoys you, and agree to have it in full on the wedoing invitations, provided you agree that Nathalie shall rot get a single peep at them till they are sent out.” After due deliberation the compromise was accepted. Mr. Simms visited the engraver after the cards had been ordered by Mrs. Sloan, and at the proper time the bundle came home. Mrs. Sloan did@ not disguise her eagerness to cut the strings, and hastily seized the uppermost sheet. It read: . MRS.

Cleveland.—After vmorej than eight months™ triai of the new Golden Rule policy of making arrests in -Cleveland, ‘Chief of Police Kohler has pronounced it unqualifiedly a success, and accordingly has given the policemen still greater power of discretion. The number of arrests in: Cleveland in.,eight months of this vear has shown;{i decrease of more than 65 per cent. over the same period last year, while, at the same time, no greater number of serjous crimes than usual have been reported, déspite the large number of first. offenders allowed to go whe, under the old régime, would have been arrested. However, Chief Kohler says that there are still. foo many. arrests, almd he ig urging that further care be exé'rciserf in keeping the number down. Other cities are preparing te foilow the sanie eourse. - o

The Golden Rule policy, which Chiet Kohler put into effect last January, provided that policemen_ , should use judgment and common sense in deal ing with offenses which are merely a violation of eity ordinances and punishable by a small fine. They were told to take inte consideration the intent to violate a law or an omlinance, and also the question of maliciousness on the part of the offender. They were instructed to warn a drunken man. and gend him home, rather than drag him to jail on his first offense, and that :two men fighting, if for the first time, should be separated, reasoned with, and not-arrested. old offenders, thoge intentionally violating the law, or those committing felonies should be as severely dealt with as ever. A record is kept of the cases of all persons released or even warned. - ' :

The ‘object of the new plan was to dispose of trivial misdemeanors without arrest and prevent the humiliation and disgrace of persons who through thou_ghtlessuesé. passion or temper or in a spirit of frolie or mischievousness violated the Jaw. Likewise, it is in-

tended to prevent the humiliation and disgrace of near relatives of such offenders. It was thought, too, that it would lessen the:work of the policée department and the attaches of the police courts. Lo ey

- How well the plan has succeéded in reducing the number of arrests is shown in the following table, which eovers the period from the time it was put into effeet to September 1:

This has not proved true. In his bulletin to the police om July 1 Chief Kohler said: “The members of this department have aecomplished results even: be yond my expectations in this common ‘sense policy, which must be gratifying to you as well as myself, and I am sure it is to the general community. With your long and varied experience in police matters, I know that you are competent to judge. The Ilast six

months have shown that your judgment is goeod, and you have acecomplished the results expected by me in our first instructions.” - The police themselves are much interested in and are in hearty aeccord with the new plan. Some of them say that they tried to exercise judgment in making arrests for intoxication under the old regime, but did so on their own responsibility, while now they are supported by official indorsement. Now no person is arrested for intoxication on his first offense unless it be necessary for his protection or for the protection of another, or unless he is disturbing the peace and - quiet of the city. - 2 e " Could Believe That.

NEW DISTRICTS AKD NEW RAILWAYS

WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BETTER CONDITIONS THAN EVER FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor — Sir:—Doubtless many of your readers will be pleased to have some word from the grain fields of Western Canada, where such & large number of Americans have made. their home during the past few years. It is pleasing to be able to report that generally the wheat yield has been good; it will average about 20 bushels to the acré. There will be many cases where the yield will go 35 bushels to the acre, and others where 50 bushels to, the®acre has been recorded. The oat and barley crop has been splendid. The prices of all grains will bring to the farmers & magnificent return fdér their labors. An instance has been brought to my notice of a farmer in° the Pincher Creek (Southern Alberta) district—where winter wheat is grown—who made a net profit of $19.55 per acre, or little less than the selling price of his land. 30, 40, and 50 bushel yieids are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they are so well adapted to grain-raising, while the luxuriant grasses that grow everywhere in abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying purposes. ; = -

The new ' heomestead regulations which went into force September, 1308, attPacted thousands of new settlers. It {3 now possible to securecho_acrés in ‘additiog to the 160 acres-as a free grant, by paying $3.00 an acre for it. Particulars as to how to do this and as to i_he railway rates can be- secured -f‘rpmv the Canadian® Government Agents! ;

“The X'ldevelo'pment throughout Western Canada during the next ten years will probably e_xceeh that of any other country iin the world’s history,” is not the statement of an optimistic Cana‘dian from the banks of the Saskatche wan, but of Mr. Leslie M. Shaw of New York, ex-Secretary of the United States Treasury under the late President McKinley and President Roosevelt, andsconsidered one of the ablest financiers of the United States. “Our railway companies sold a good deal -of their land at from three to five dollar_g an acre. and now the owners are

selling the same land at from fifty to sevepty-ﬁve dollars, and buying more up in Canada at from ten to fifteen.”

* The editor of the Monticello (Towa) Express made a trip through Western Canada last August, and was greatly fmpressed. He =says: ' “One cannot ‘cross Western Canada to the mcuntains without being impressed with its fmmensity of territory and its future prospects. Where I expected to find frontier villages there were substantially built cities and towns with every modern convenience. Tt was formerly supposed that the climate was too severe for it to be thought of as an agricultural country, but its wheatraising possibilities have been amply tested. We drew frem Ontario, many of our best farmers and most progressive citizens. Now the Americans are emigrating in greater numbers teo Western Canada. Seventy-five per cent. of the settlers in that good country located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Amerieans. Canada is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more.” LAMENT FOR CHANGED TIMES. .
