None of That For Them.?They had
been married only a month, and it
was their first experience In seeking
" country board. After riding ten long
miles In a rattling farm cart they arrived
at the door of the farmhouse.
"And now, strangers," said the o'd
farmer after he had asked about a
score of questions, "I want to l>:il
yeou right now that down here with
us yeou be supposed to go to bed with
the chickens." The young man whispered
to his young wife, and then botn
climbed back on the farm cart
"Boy," said the young man, his lips
compressed with determination,
"drive us back to the station."
The freckled lad grinned and whipped
up the horse.
" xou una aian t seem iu n&e wo
place?" he chuckled.
"No," said the young man. "We
have often read about crowded farmhouses,
but when It comes to shoving
us off to the henhouse that is going
a little too strong. I guess we'll stay
in the city."?Chicago News.
FIm, As a Bird.?The title of this
dialogue might be?"Why Papa Believers
in Corporal Punishment"
"Papa?"
"Well?"
"Is there a Christian flea?"
"Why, what on earth ever put that
idea into your head?"
"The preacher read it today from
the Bible?'The wicked flee when no
man pursueth.'"
"Why, Tommy, that means that the
wicked men flee"?
"Then, papa, is there a wicked woman
flea?"
"No, no. It means that the wicked
flees, runs away.
"Why do they run?"
"Who?"
"The wicked fleas?"
"No, no! Don't you see? The
wicked man runs away when no man
is after him."
"Is there a woman after him?"
"Tommy, go to bed! . . ?

McEwen's Decision.?Not long ago
Justice McEwen sat on a cow case;
that is, a case Involving money due one
man for boarding the cow of another.
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. B. Thorn- ,
as, the day her horse Nemesis won at ,
Gr&vesend, was congratulated on the
brilliant success of her racing stable. .
"When one wins," Mrs. Thomas an- ,
swered modesty, "one's losses are for- ,
gotten. But In racing one's losses are ,
many, and the keeping of a stable has
it^ troubles. I
"The general idea of a racing stable, j
the idea that it is one long triumph and (
Joy, Is very wrong. It is as exaggerat- j
ed as the foreigner's description of our (
mammoth hotels. (
"This man said of our hotels: (
" 'In America everything is on a ,
grand scale. They have gigantic build- s
ings of incredible splendor. I lived In ,
New York in a hotel of such colossal |

the wife.
"I am thinking of these clothes." ,
"It seems to me that you ought to
look pleased. There are certainly no
moths in them."
"It's my sympathetic nature," said
the man. "I cannot help it. Sometimes
it leads me to absurd extremes,
as in the present instance. Of course,
I'm glad the moths are gone, but," he
added, with a deep sigh, "they must

and confusion. "Is I 'bleeged to

"Certainly, the law requires it"

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

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.

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

a judge of New Jersey, was discharged
from Holloway prison in London

at hard labor for raising the sufTra- <

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

"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 got a brace with

bowl after the first. 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

nuggets to buy me a new fifty

I had no sooner got into my
room than my knees gave out, chills
galloped up my spine, and I'll be

there for ten minutes. It had suddenly
occurred to me that the bowl of
that pipe was only six inches from my
