The wrangle was as to what the board was worth. One attorney called three or four liverymen and got their testimony on the cost of boarding a horse. Of course the opposing counsel objected and declar- ( ed such testimony to be incompetent on the ground that the cost of boarding a horse is not the same as the cost of boarding a cow. This the other attorney conceded, but he explained that he was going to fol- ' low up the testimony of the liverymen with expert testimony to show how much less, if any, it costs to keep a cow than a horse. . "Oh, If you're going to work on that plan," put in McEwen in judicial tones, "you might as well start in with elephants and work down to cows by gradual stages."?Cleveland Leader. < An Exaggeration.?Mrs. E.

ELEPHANT HUNTING. An Exciting Sport of the Eastern Provinces of India. The periodical keddah operations in the Mysor elephant jungles afford a spectacle brimful of excitement; nowhere in the world can they be witnessed except in India, and here only in Mysore and in the extreme eastern provinces. Taking place about once in three years, they are generally made to synchronise with a viceregal visit or the presence of some other distinguished guest, and most elaborate arrangements were undertaken on the recent occasion in honor of Lord Minto. The jungles where the keddah takes place are forty miles from Mysore.. The beat was carried out with marvellous skill. The elephants had been before the beaters for eight days, and were brought up gently by a line of something like 1,000 men over several miles of country. Enormous trumpets and shrill horns joined their hideous noises, drums and bamboo clappers beat Incessantly. Every eye was strained to catch the first glimpse of the approaching herd, and what was really only a few minutes of waiting seemed an age. At last a dark clump of elephants emerged from the undergrowth, lumbered into the stream with a tremendous splash, and, still crowding in a bunch, plodded slowly across. Issuing from the ford at their familiar landing-place, the elephants at once entered tne wide raoutn or a runnejshaped stockade strongly built with the stems of young trees with brushwood Interlaced to conceal the stratagem from the unwary animals. A minute later they entered a small, palisade enclosure at the end of the funnel and a heavy gate Immediately fell down and closed the entrance. The elephants were now In circular stockade of only about forty feet In diameter. There were fourteen of them, and as the spectators mounted the platform erected on the outside of tne palisade a scene of wild Interest met the eye. The poor, trapped beasts surged round the enclosure In a pushing, struggling, solid mob. There was one large, but not fully grown tusker and one huge female; the remaining eleven were most of a size or two smaller and three were almost babies, one of them standing no higher than a donkey and appearing to have but little chance of surviving the grinding crush. The great beasts packed tnemselves together exactly like a Rugby football scrum. At one moment, with their heads to the centre, they wouia De shoving against each other and wheeling about in the centre of the stockide, at another the leaders would apply their heads to a portion of the barriers and the remainder pushing behind, the whole pack would throw their weight against the timbers in a vain effort to force a passage. Six kumakis, or trained elephants, with their mahouts on their backs, were then brought in for the next stage >f the operations. This was the roping up of the captives preparatory to their removal. There were two methods of procedure. The first was for the bigger animals, and consisted of manoeuvring them to the side of the stockade, 30 that their hind legs could be lashed to the upright logs. The trained animals pitilessly bustled the herd. Pushing, prodding, hurling their monstrous weight in short :harges under the guidance of the malouts, they kept them continually on the move, so as to single out the larger inimals. Meanwhile the ropers crept n through the apertures of the latticed walls, watching for a chance to put a slipknot on a leg, keeping a wary eye jpon the movements of the untamed jrutes, and dodging back into the palsade at the sign of danger.?Times of India. A BAG OF HUNTING STORIES. Foxes That Run With Hounds?Some Curious Shots. In a mixed bag of hunting stories i writer In Bally's Magazine says that n England there are various well authenticated reports of a fox being seen canning among the dogs which were hunting it?or hunting another fox. "In one case," says the narrator, "the fox was certainly the one hunted; he lad doubled sharp back, and unseen by the hounds joined them while they :ontinued to run the line. Another time i fox was seen running with the tall hounds of the pack, ignored by them; in this case the hounds must surely lave been on the line of another. "Whether such incidents illustrate the boldness and cunning of the fox, ;ombined with large and well formed ;ontempt for the intelligence of the fox lound, experience may determine for itself. We know that the mental facjlties of hounds are concentrated in their noses when at work, but even so it seems strange that the scent of the fox when he has the imprudence or hardihood to join and run with them should not bring about his summary Jeath. "The explanation probably lies in the iifferent scent emitted by different fox hounds' nostrils being monopolized by that of the fox they are hunt ng, the scent of another fox actually among them passes unnoticed. Hounds certainly use their eyes little, If at all, while running. "Yielding to none in admiration for the intelligence of the fox hound, it is In a spirit of inquiry I submit the following incidents: One day during the season 1876-77 a dense fog come down while a certain Devonshire pack were running hard, and compelled master, servants and field to pull up and leave hounds to themselves. During the next Tew days t'ney straggled or were brought back to kennels, till all were returned save one named Layman. "Search was made for him, and at length revealed his head and neck at the mouth of an earth. The rest of Layman's anatomy had disappeared and examination of the poor remains led to the conjecture that he, leading the pack, had squeezed his way into the earth where the fox had gone to ground and while half in had been dragged out, killed and eaten by the rest of the hounds. Was it a fight inspired by jealousy or excitement or both, or was It an honest but foolish mistake? "On March 29, 1876, the Beadle lost a ?ood hound named Rambler under like circumstances. The fox went to ground In a drain after a twelve mile run. Rambler, forcing his way in after him as far as the width of the drain would allow, was dragged out by the rest of the pack and worried to death. "Why? Was It that, as might well have been the case before quoted, the Ill fated leading hound from contact with the sides of the earth had the scent of fox strong on him? And would the fact that he savored of fox suffice to lead his excited companions into their regrettable mistake? "An incident of another sort was witnessed once by a number of haymakers working in a field in Cardiganshire. They had left their coats and dinners in charge of a sheep dog under the hedge and one of the men, happening to glance in that direction, saw a dog fox playing with the dog, the pair gambolling like a couple .of puppies. With an eye on the dinners the dog ought to have been guarding the man went to chase the fox away. It went at his approach, but came back again | when he returned to his work. "Hunting men have carried their love of the chase to the grave, and one of the most -remarkable cases of the ruling passion strong in death was that of a Mr. Pinkington, popularly known by the nickname Jack Hawley, member of a once famous Yorkshire family of sportsmen, who died, aged 52, on Christmas Day, 1875. He was a bachelor and the last survivor of his family, and the terms of his will, which were duly carried out, were more remarkable than those of the famous Tom Moody. "He was buried in hunting dress, boots, spurs and whip included, and was carried to his grave on a bare board; he had selected his place of burial himself; it was in a held amid the remains of some favorite cows which had died of rinderpest several iranwa Ko#Ara TKa KaopH Tl/Q a ItfloH O a J tai o u^fvt v. M *?c: MV??V? ?.? a bier because Mr. Pilkington had had in readiness a large stone coffin which weighed over a ton, and this awaited his remains on the spot chosen for his grave; the coffin was lowered into place by means of an extemporized crane, and with their master's remains were interred his favorite fox terrier and an old tame fox. "The 'curious shots' which find their way into print must represent a very insignificant proportion of those which are actually made. Here are a few: In September, 1892, a gentleman shooting at Badenoch missed a rabbit and killed five partridges which he had not seen. Two seasons earlier Col. Trevor Hume killed a hare and a partridge at one shot. In September, 1899, a member of a shooting party at Houghton Conquest missed a hare and killed a brace of partridges on the ground, and the next beat another member of the party did precisely the same thing. "Pheasants occasionally go to ground in search of safety. A few years back a gentleman was ferreting on a certain property in the southern part of Hampshire and as the keeper was about to put the ferret Into a burrow a confused noise within caused him to hesiout ferreting, saw a cock pheasant and emerged from another hole. It was supposed that he had been dusting at the mouth of the burrow and alarmed by the approach of men retired inside to find h!s way out by another exit. "In January, 1896, W. Hv. Gibbs while out ferreting saw a cock pheasant and sent his man to drive the bird toward him; the man failed to flush .the pheasant and they resumed work with the ferrets, soon bolting the bird from a burrow, "A very curious incident was recorded in October, 1896. A hen pheasant was flushed in a field of turnips and as she got up flew Into a piece of rotten wet leaf, which clung around her head, completely enveloping It and blindfolded her. She kept ahead to wind, so that the wet leaf remained plastered over her eyes, and in this plight fluttered higher till she became exhausted and gradually sank to earth again. "The frequency with which pheasants fly through windows, sometimes with fatal results, Is thought to be due to the bird In its haste being deceived by the reflection in the glass of the landscape behind it." HE GOT THE CROSS. Napoleon and the Battle Scarred Hero at Ratisbon. The oratorical repertory of every schoolboy probably includes Browning's poem beginning "You know, we French stormed Ratisbon." The reader of memoirs, however, particularly those of General Marbot, realizes that Ratisbon, battleground though it was, had its humorous aspect and was not all tragedy. Marbot says: ii was nrst ai uausDon inai me emperor endowed the common soldiery, making them at once chevaliers of the empire and members of the Legion of Honor. The presentations of candidates were made by the heads of divisions, but the emperor allowed those soldiers who believed that they merited this honor to come before him, and he alone judged and decided their worth. Once it happened that an old grenadier who had campaigned in Italy and Egypt, not having been mentioned, came himself to demand in the most phlegmatic tones the cross. "But," said Napoleon, "what have you done to deserve this reward? "Well, it was I, sire, who in the desert of Jaffa, in an appalling heat, gave you a watermelon," answered the soldier. "I thank you again," said the emperor, "but the gift of this fruit isn't worth the cross of the Legion of Honor." Then the grenadier, hitherto calm and self possessed, was beside himself and cried with the greatest volubility: "Then you count as nothing the seven wounds that I received at Areola, at Lodi, at C&stiglione, at the Pyramids, at St. Jean d'Acre, at Austerlitz, at Frledland?my eleven campaigns in Italy, in Egypt, in Austria, in Prussia, in Poland, in"? But the emperor, laughingly interrupting his torrent of words cried: "Now you're getting at it. You should have begun by telling this at first. These campaigns are worth more than a melon. I create you chevalier of the empire, with an annuity of 1,200 francs. Are you satisfied?" "But, sire, I prefer the cross!" cried the grenadier. "And you have it since I have made you chevalier," was the reply. "But I would rather have the cross!" And the simple minded soldier refused to budge. It too all sorts of persuasions to set his mind at rest and make him understand that his title of chevalier bore with it the honor of the cross. He was satisfied only when the emperor himself had pinned the decoration on his breast, and he seemed infinitely more satisfied with that than with the gift of 1,200 francs.?Exchange. i-ft'If the wives who are obliged to account to their husbands for every cent they get, were to turn the tables by demanding an audit of the tobacco and beer expenses, things would be different. FEEDING BY FORCE. Amorican Suffragette Descrioes Her Experience In English Jail. Miss Alice Paul, an American, who is a master of arts of the University i of Pennsylvania and the daughter of a judge of New Jersey, was discharged from Holloway prison in London the other day after serving thirty days at hard labor for raising the sufTra- < gette disturbance and breaking win- ] uuws ctl me iuiu iimyui a uaiiquti. ' While In prison she refused to eat or He In bed to prevent her jailers making her well. She says she was fed by force in this manner: "The largest wardress in Holloway sat astride my knees. Two other wardresses sat on either side and held my arms. A towel was placed around my throat, and one doctor from behind forced my head back, while another doctor put a tube In my nostril. When It reached my throat my ! head was pushed forward. The tube came through my mouth, and I got it between my teeth. "My mouth was then pried open with an instrument Sometimes they tied me to a chair with sheets. Once I managed to get my hands loose and t snatched the tube, tearing it with my l teeth. I also broke a jug, but they 1 succeeded In forcing me to eat." HIS NOSE WAS SAFE. But His Nerves Were In a State of Cold Chill Collapse. "I was sitting on the veranda of a mining town hotel one afternoon a good many years ago," said a veteran engineer, and was lazily smoking one of the nicest meerschaum pipes you ever saw when out of the tail of my eye I saw that a bad man down at the other end of the veranda had his gun sighted at me. There were a wild lot around there, and I couldn't tell whether he meant to shoot me or the pipe. The chances were in favor of the pipe, however, and it seemed a good chance to test my nerve. I made up my mind to let him shoot and to pretend a careless air, but I'm tedling you in the ten or fifteen seconds of waiting the sweat camel out at every pore, and the sweat pounded my ribs sore. I felt a sort of tick at the bowl of the pipe, heard the crack of the gun c and knew that a bullet had passed j through the pipe.

I sat there until his fourth bullet had hit the pipe and knocked the bowl off the stem, and then the shooter sauntered up to me and laughingly said: " 'Excuse me, stranger, but I thought It was imitation.' " 'Same as you are,' I replied. "My gibe hurt him, but he was man enough to tell everybody about my nerve, and the boys chipped in sufficient nuggets to buy me a new fifty dollar pipe. Say, do you know what happened to me when I made an excuse to go upstairs after my old corncob? I had no sooner got into my room than my knees gave out, chills galloped up my spine, and I'll be hanged If I didn't faint away and lie there for ten minutes. It had suddenly occurred to me that the bowl of that pipe was only six inches from my nose while the fellow was doing his shooting, and I have not yet got over touching my nasal organ now and then to see if it is safe."
