THE LITTLE DOG UNDER THE
WAGON.
Ile dragged him down in the mire and
dirt,
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry ground ;
The robber tittered not a sound
While hie hands and feet the farmer
bon n(
And tumbled him into the wagon.
So Spot be snv.d the farmer's life,
The farmer's rnnney, the farmer's wife ;
And now a hero grand and gay,
A silver Dollar he wears today ;
Among his friends, among hie foes,
And everywhere his master moos,
Ile follows on ifs horny toss,

"Come wife 1" said good old Farmer
Gray,
"Pub on yopr things, 'tis market day—
And we'll be oft to the nearoat town,
There and back ere tite sun goes down,
Spot ? No, we'll leave old Spot behind."
But Spot he barked, and Spot he whined,
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon.
Away they went at a good round pane,
And joy came into the farmer's fade ;
"Poor Spot," said he, "did want to come,
BUG I'in awful glad he's left at home;
He guard the barn and guard the Dot,
And keep the cattle out of tite lot."
"I'm not so sure of that," thoagleb Spot,
The little dog under the wagon,
The farmer all hie produce sold,
And pot his pay in yellow gold,
Then started homeward after dark,
Home through the lonely forest. Hark 1

The heaviest elephant tusk in the world
s0 far as known, is at the World's Fair
in the Cape Colony exhibit. It is seven
and a half feet long, and weighs 168
pounds. At the thickest part it is about
six inches through. • The mate of it,
which is a little lighter, in in the mn•
seam ab Cape Town. There is an ele-
phant tusk larger than \hie, belonging to
the Icing of Siam, but is nob so heavy.
The elephant who carried these mon•
strolls tnslte—wore than throe hundred
pounds of ivory, or twine the weight of
an average man—was killed in the Zttm•
besi oonntry, South Africa, some years
ago. Ho was about fourteen feet high,
and was a genuine king of the forest
who would have dwarfed Jumbo himself.
Elephant hunting is the first of all
sports with the gun, but the slaughter of
these groat nnimale has been 00 pro•
digions since the Arabs and other traders
have sold breeah•loading rifles to the
tribes throughout Africa, that many fear
their speedy extermination. However,
Robert Lee, who is ono of the men in
charge of the Cape Colony exhibit, and
who has travelled neuoh ie the elephant
country, thinks that the great beast will
hold on for many generations yet. Arica
is so wet, many regions are so difficult
to access, and the elephant is so tena.
Woes of lite, be says, that man cannot
kill alt hie tribe as be has slaughtered bhe
buffalo in Amerioa.
'Elephant -hunting is extremely danger-
ous,' said Mr. Lee, 'I know of no other
sport in wbiah the hunter is so liable to
become the hunted. I am nob a sports.
man myself, and I have never tried to
kill an elephant, but I was once with
others who thought they would aocom.
plish such a feat.
'In 1887 I accompanied Colonel Car-
rington's expedition into the country
north of the Transvaal. While riding
along through an open country we saw a
bard of elephants. I think there were
about twenty of them. We name close
enough for a shot. The Colonel called
for his elephant gun and blazed away at
the elephants. Instantly the whole herd
darted towards us, trumpeting fiercely
and really presenting a most terrifying
appearance. None of us paned for an-
other shot bet turned our horses and
galloped away as fast as we could, the
elephants in full obese. So far as we
knew, the Colonel's bullet had missed en-
tirely.
'MIy horse was not an especially good
one, and I brought up the rear of that
flying column. An elephant, despite his
awkward appearance, oan run very fast,
and I began to think of my sine. M
horse stepped into a hole, stumbled, fell,
and threw me over his head. I wasn't
meet hurt, and I jumped to my feet in•
stoutly, and seized the Horse's reins. Tho
animal wasn't much hurt, either, and I
got him to his feet and wee on his back
and off again in about fifteen seconds, I
think. I don't know bow also the eke
phante were to me when I fell, for I
never looked back. I overtook the rest
of the party, and when we etopped the
elephants were to be seen no longer.
People who are fond of a abase with
plenty of danger in it should hunt the
elephant. I don't care for it myself.'
Mr. Lee says he bas seen many herds
of elephants along the Zambesi River,
end they are still more plentiful further
north. Though Cape Colony has been
settled about as long as the United Statue
there are still some elephants in m por-
tion of its mountainous region, known
as the Knyesi country. They are sup•
posed to be about five hundred in num-
ber, and are probeeted by the Govern.
:neut.
Elephants are said to grow larger south
of the Zambesi than north of it. There
are considerable herds in the country of
Kbama, King of the Bowlongs. This
man is the most advanced of all the
South Alrioan kings or chiefs. He has
provided a set of game laws for hie noun -
try, and they are rigidly enforced. Hence
in the large territory over which he rules
the elephants are iuoreasing in numbers
rather thou diminishing. Kbama, nat-
urally a man of good disposition, is lenge.

Lae,' as I accompanied one of tho ex•
peditions of the English into hie country.
He is a -remarkable 1111111 in appearance,
as well as in character. He is at least
six fent four inches tall, and enormqusly
fat. He received us kindly and asked us
malty questions. He was greatly pieaeed

Mr, Lee has the distinction of being
one of the three men who escaped from
the slaughter of the British army by
the Zulus of lsandlwhayna in 1870. This
mreleb catastrophe occurred directly after
the Prince Imperial of France was slain
by the Zulus, and was almost an exact
parallel of Ouster's defeat by the Sioux
Indians. Mr. Lee was a telegrapher in
the army service, and to the freedom of
movement allowed him, because Ile was
not soldier, he owed bis escape.
'The Twenty-fourth Regiment, eight
hundred strong,' he said, 'had moved
forward in advance of the main army.
It was commanded by Major Salliors
and Colonel Durnford. We wore in the
enemy's country, but wo were not so
watchful as we should have been. The
regiment was phasing near the base of
a low hill. Sdddeuly the Zulu army op•
peered on the summit of the dill, end
swarmed over it, many thousands in
number. They charged upon the regi•

spears, and exterminated it.

with their assegais.
'There wore think beds of tall roods on

results are apparent in the diminution of

E. King Dodds toile the following fish
story : Tho Hon. A. S. hardy, is the
}earner for bhe Miele Government, and
when he unwinds a flab story they say
the oldest veterans crawl into tent and
go to bed. Mr, ISardy's latest reoord is
as follows : IID was fishing one day 08
the month of Oranberry River in Wis-
consin. His second oast was successful,
so he says—and Ito is a trntbful man—
by a strike. A fair sized trout had taken
the fly, and was making an unueually
gamey struggle. The trout began to tire,
but made a last struggle for liberty by
dashing and springing out of the water.
Meat ns it fell book there was a big break
directly underneath it, a splash, and the
reel began to sing as the newcomer dash-
ed into the depths, a captor yet a captive.
The new 116, which had swallowed the
first catch, was a lusty fin and the odde
were, for a minute in favor of his getting
off the honk. But he, too, began to weak-
en at lass, and the angler was getting the
net ready to welcome him, or rather throw,
when the fish um xpeotedly came to life
and drew out nearly tour Lin mired feet of
line. Alter this he \vent to the bottom
and refused to budge. It was an hour's
struggle to vet the fah whore ; he final•
ly was lauded, an I proved to be still a
thircl fish, which h 1,1 made at meal of the
captor of the captive. Mr. Gordy found
that he had honked a throe m ,uu•ter pound
brook trout which was swallowed by a
trout that weighed 31 Ibe., and this fellow
was in torn taken in by a lake trout which
weighed 10>i lbs. And he landed all three,
and if anybody doubts the story he will
show him the line las did it with.
