London.—Wlillo staying at Rmbu, on
the aoutboaet of Mount Kenla, laat No-
vember, I waa fortunate to obtain a
somewhat uncommon anlnlal—the for-
eet hog—writes R. O. R. Kenyon-SIa-
ney. In thle district, at an altitude of
from 4,000 to 6,000 feet, the foreet Line
etope abruptly, and the country, right
up to the edge, Is more or less open,
but covered with very long, rank grass.
Here, In thle corner of the forem, the
natives say they occasionally come
across these enormous pigs, but I be-
lieve only on one previous occasion
have they been shot at Embu. They
are very shy In their habits, spending
the day In the dense forest, and only
coming out to feed In the cool of the
evening, and then apparently never
venturing far Into the open, but al-

IN SPITE of the changing atylea
there are gowna which are designed
along lines that remain and are ac-
ceptable for several seasons. In de-
algnlng a party gown It la a matter of
good Judgment to select conservative
models In order that a dress which
receives no hard service may outlast
a single aeason or be easily remodeled.
J.hl* '* moro especially true when
high-priced fabrics are chosen.
A very pretty gown, designed for

In that It la suitable to both youthful

The aklrt Is slightly draped, Its grace-
ful folds hanging from the waist 11m
with some fullness arranged in the
seam at the center front It la full

There la a abort underbodlce of the
satin with a rich design embroidered
In self color with silk floss. The over-
drapery of silk moussellne could hard-
ly be almpler. It la gathered Into
some fullness over the shoulder and
top of the aleevea, which are cut In
one. The moussellne la caught up in
two placea at the back and falla to a
long point at the left aide In front,
where It la weighted with a fancy taa-

ways ready to dssh back to their re-

Owing to this shyness, and the fact
of their living only In large and more
or less Impenetrable forests, they are
seldom seen except by natlvea, and,
like the bongo and other forest ani-
mals, may be commoner than Is gen-
•erally supposed. I obtained mine In
the following manner, and, as will be
seen, more by geod luck than any-
thing else. At about 4:30 p. m., while
waiting for buffalo to come out to feed
In a very quiet spot on the edge of
the forest, I came across some large
pig tracks and questioned my gun
bearer about them. He, however, had
never heard of forest hogs, and de-
clared them to be the tracka of a
large wart-hog, saying that the soft-
ness of the ground would account for
the slse of the tracka. After watting
quietly for about half an hour we
heard a nolae in the long graaa not
forty yarda away, and then aaw a
large, dark object which, from the
color, I first thought must be a young
buffalo, and then, from the shape, a
young rhino. However, directly he
came more or less into the open, I
guessed what he waa, and shot him
with the .470, the bullet passing
through the heart and killing him
where he stood. I took the measure-
ment* at once, checking them two or
three times to get them quite accu-
rate, and found them sb follows:

HUMOR WORSE THAN WASTED
Probably In the Future Madge Leasing
Will Be Wary of Joking With Gor-
man Newspaper Men.
Miss Madge Leasing, who is now
appearing in The Uluo Mouse, has
been playing in Berlin for some time,
remarks Pearson's Weekly.
She was telling us the other day
that soon after she went to Uermany
she was interviewed by the representa-
tive of a Berlin newspaper.
The Interviewer complimented her
on being able to speak her lines in
the piece without a trace of a foreign
accent.
"Oh," replied Miss I.eslng frivol-
ously, "I play In llvfc languages—Qer-
man, French, American, English and
Irish."
Poor Miss I,easing expected at least
a smile at her little Joke, but the In-
terviewer wrote it down quite seri-
ously, and In Hue course the slutement
appeared In print.
Almost Immediately another news-
paper chlded her, solemnly Informing
her thnt American, English and Irish
were practically one and the Hame lan-
guage. ".\IIh8 Leasing," It pointed out.
"should know better than to make a
mistake like this!"

Hofer came upon the carcass of a
duck entirely Incased in salt, and fur
ther Investigation revealed the fact
that persons living in the vicinity of
the evaporating vats or ponds Into
which the water from a salt lake is
pumped, are accustomed to keeping
themselves supplied with toothsome

names cause of confusion
Incident That Was Embarrassing
Alike to Newspaper Man and Lady
He Waa Sent to Interview.
Names can produce sometimes a
great deal of confusion. As when Flor-
ence D. White, now one of the head
men of the New York World, went to
a hotel in St. Louis when he was a
reporter on the Post Dispatch to see
a woman on business.
His card read, "Florence D. White,"
and the woman naturally inferred
that Florence was of her own sex.
Therefore she asked the visitor to
come up. And as she was not dressed
to receive one or the other sex, the
climax was embarrassing.
A visitor from Columbus was tell-
ing a story of Ireland, the clever car-
toonist of the Columbus Dispatch. Ire-
land's work is known to every man,
Excellent Thing In Woman.
While the opinion so general abroad
as to the horrible shrillness and gen-
eral unpleasantness of the voices of
American women is, without a doubt,
foolishly exaggerated, there can be no
question but that the really beautiful
voice in this country is a rarity. Of
not one woman in BO can it be truth-
fully said "Her voice was ever Soft,
gentle and low; an excellent thing in
woman." Women of refinement polish
their finger nails, visit their hairdress-
ers regularly, pay scrupulous attention
to all the details of their toilet—and
utterly neglect what should be their
greatest charm—their speaking tones.
The low, sweet voice throws all shrill,
high-pitched demonstrations into the
background, and makes them Infantile
and ridiculous. Listen, Just for an en-
lightening experiment, to a nervous,
overwrought woman arguing in a
shrieking tone with another who is
calm, self-possessed and low-voiced.
And then, if you are a typical Ameri-
can shrieker, go to your home and
make a vow to think twice before you
speak once.

"I was listening to the outpourings
of a Socialist orator in Chicago on one
occasion," says "Jim" Mann, the llli-
nols representative, "and I derived
therefrom some amusement, if not in-
struction."

principles are triumphant, we shall
have comfort and happiness from Can-
ada to Mexico, from the Atlantic to the

Properly Resented Insinuation.
It was his first pair of long trousers,
and he felt very pleased with himself
as he swaggered boldly into the local
shoe emporium.
I want a brand-new pair of shoes,'
he announced, as a smart young man
came to attend to him.
"A pair of kids, I suppose?" asked
the ever-obliging salesman, referring
to the quality of the leather.
The youngster turned his nose up
coldly, swelled his chest to Its full pro-
portions, and, fixing a stony stare on
the young shopman, replied, indig-
nantly:—
"A pair of kids, indeed! A pair of
small men's, thank you!"
Grievance of Suffraglsm.
One of the grievances of suffragists
is the Inferior position occupied by
women as parents. A couple of days
ago a woman, whose husband had, so
far as she knew, gone down in the
Empress of Ireland, applied to the
Willesden magistrates for a vaccina-
tion exemption for her Infant son. She
was Informed from the bench that the
exemption order could not be granted
until the father's death was legally
proved, as "the law did not recognize
her as the parent of the child." If
the law does not enable a woman to
rank as the parent of her children It
must be a "hass" ot the most asinine
type.—London Globe.
Carthage, Texas.—"My little girl had
some kind of breaking out on her head
that came in white blisters and when
the blisters burst they formed some-
thing like scales. If I washed her
head and combed the scales off they
would come again in Just a few days.
The trduble looked something like
dandruff but was hard and scaly and
when the scales would come off all of
the hair came also and would leave
the head raw.
"I bad tried salves which only soft-
ened the scales so I decided to use
Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I
washed her head with warm water and
Cutlcura Soap and then applied the
Cutlcura Ointment and let U remain
over night. I used only one box of
Cutlcura Ointment and one bar of
Cutlcura Soap and her head was well."
