■■■-it! & C. Ttoyd ADVENTURERS’ CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF FEOFIE LIKE YOURSELFI Scenes and Persons in the Current News m "Tusk of the WiU Boar” By FLOYD GIBBONS famous Headline Hunter O ELLO EVERYBODY: ^ * Well, sir, here’s a story that starts out with another story. A long time ago I got a letter, sent to the Adventur ers’ Club, from Java, in the Dutch East Indies, way over on tiie other side of the world. It came from Kaboel, whose address was Panggoengweg No. 2, Tegal, Java, and Kaboel said that he’d read in the paper that I was giving away money, and would I please send him a hundred dollars be cause he was very poor. Well, sir, I wrote Kaboel a letter telling him I couldn’t send him any money until he’d sent in an adventure yarn good enough to print in this column, and—well—I guess they have adventures over in Java, too, because in came (he yarn from Kaboel. Incidentally, here’s where the Adventurers’ club breaks another Ironclad rule. You know these yarns are all true and they all have to be vouched for. It’s the club’s custom to require that all papers be signed by the adventurer’s name in full—first and last name, complete. But what are you going to do when a guy hasn’t got any last name. Kaboel writes: “Kabeel Is the only name I have. I am a pure blooded Jav anese hoy, and we do not have family names.’* On a Week’s Hunt in the Jangle. And now for Ksbool's story. Ho says he's had lots at adventures, but this time he's going to tell us about a boar hunt he went on with his father and some at their Javanese neighbors. They set out tor a week's hunting in the Jungle one morning in Ittt. taking with them a supply at boras, or prepared rice, and dendeng. which Is meat prepared with apices.

But, once it begins to dawn upon you that you could go further in another occupation, it is time to change. The greatest advancement lies where your talents and interests are greatest Charles Dawes, who made the under-slung pipe famous when he became Vice President of the United States, might have been rel atively unknown if he had not changed his mind about the occupa tion he would follow. He was born in Marietta, Ohio, in 1865. He attended the public schools there and entered Marietta college, graduating at the age of nineteen.

Hour after hour wont by Dusk turned Into night, and tbo night worn on. SuQ tho boor hadn't given up. Still he paced around and around the tree, waiting to kill that man creature who had stung him with his shooting stick. Kaboel Tied Himself in the Tree. Kaboel was getting sleepy, bat be fought sleep off. Once or twice he caught himself (ailing into a dose, and brought himself awake Just in time to keep from failing out of the tree. That would never do. Once he landed on the ground, he would be ripped and trampled to death by the boar in a matter of seconds—minutes at the moat Still, he was dead tired. The day had been a hard one. and his body ached with fatigue. He searched his pocket—and found a piece of rope. That was all he wanted. Picking a nice comfortable spot in the upper branches of the tree, he tied himself to the trunk. Sleeping in trees was nothing new to the Javanese boy. It was un comfortable up there straddling that tree limb, but not uncomfortable enough to keep him from taking a nap when properly secured. He dozed off, and when he awoke again it was morning, 'hie boar was gone. "In deed, such animals are timid in daylight,” says KaboeL And Kaboel climbed down the tree and started back to camp.
