truth holds good that men and women can get,

OUTOFAFRSCA.
The news cables have not lately garnered
from the remote corners of the earth a more
compelling tragedy than the story cf James
Ward Rogers, an American elephant poacher,
hunted out himself like a quarry of the jungle,
and shot to death by a British expedition of sol-
diers.
Here was a man hunt with much similarity to
man’s h.nnt of wild animals. It cannot be called
a military expedition, nor could it be called a
battle. It was too much one-sided for that It
was a case of one mhn hunted down by many,
like one bon slaikod to Ms c! ath by a whole
safari.
Indeed, this man hunt wr.s p.o’onc-sided that
\vc"Americans are likely to sympathize with
the victim. Our rymprtky is not so much be-
cause of a tendency to defend the under-dog,
but because the re:.::;: for the man-hunt seems
somewhat artificial. We ourselves have man-
hunts, and many of our posses are less humane
in their executions than was this British mili-
tary posse. But ours are generally inspired by
the very hideousacss of the crime.
We should not however overlook the obvious
moral of this tragic episode. It is this: that
Great Britain believes not only in laws, but in
the enforcement of laws; that an outlaw may
hide himself in the almost impassable jungles
of Central Africa yet Great Britain will find him
out; that Great Britains laws must and shall be
obeyad.
Certainly this is a wholesome lesson, altho
it was written in blood. —Wichita Eagle.

MARKET PRICE.
Wo are so accustomed to :rin- t’.e state-
ment that success La.: o pile that ve seldom
consider that the same i, true of everything else,
even failure. There n rnthinrin the world, de-
sirable or undesirable, that has not its market
price, established by certain fixed and absolute
rules. A purse honestly filled, a mind strong
and capable, a pair of lungs sound enough to
throw off disease and send good blood racing
through the veins, a pair of legs strong enough
to carry the owner out of reach of the police-
all these, for each person, have a certain well-
established price. A man may have a good wife
if he is willing to pay for her. He may have
decent neighbors and respectable friends if lie
will pay what they cost. And whether he will

others, but even at that the
smaller towns seem to be keep-

they will enforce it.
