Lake and Miss Gertrude Wells -"and the next day it rained!" TOTffrm its mwEr uoj -A Y5x v 1F- - -m After playing hide and seek with death for nearly half a century F. C. Selous, the greatest big game hunter in Africa and the Alan Quartermain of Haggard's novels, is still a hearty and healthy man, ready at a moment's mo-ment's notice to go out and face new dangers. Hunting has been to Mr. Selous no idle pastime, but a serious business; for all the capital he had in the world was $2,000, and for twenty years he had to live on the spoil of his busy gun. How busy it was may be seen from the fact that of elephants alone he has killed seventy-teight, and of lions more than a score three of them falling to four successive shots. Within four years from Jan. 1, 1877, to Dec. 31, 1880, his bag reached the unrivaled total of 548 head of big game, including twenty elephants, 100 buffaloes, 304 antelopes, thirteen lions, a dozen rhinoceroses, eighteen giraffes and forty-eight zebras, and in six months in 1874 he accounted for ninety-three head, including twenty-four twenty-four elephants, nineteen buffaloes, nine rhinoceroses, and a lion. It Is eloquent of the daring of the man that of his seventy-eight ele-pnants ele-pnants all but one were shot on foot, and that one nearly brought the hunter's hunt-er's career to a tragic conclusion. 'He and his companions had slaughtered twenty-two elephants out of a herd of sixty, when an enormous bull charged him furiously, and, striking his horse with terrible force, hashed both horse and rider violently to the ground. Wrhen Mr. , Selous recovered his senses he found the leviathan kneeling over but luckily not on him, and he was able to crawl from the dangerous position' and escape into the bush. On another occasion when he was pursuing a wounded elephant on foot, he found himself hctly chased by an infuriated bull, which was literally whirling Its trunk over the huntsman's hunts-man's head and screaming with rage. "How I got away,' he says, "I scarce " Wilson has a bad habit of not being truthful. If any one told him of it he would deny it vehemently, and indeed he does not mean any harm. The office force is somewhat accustomed accus-tomed to Wilson's failing and as he occupies a confidential position with his employer sometimes there is occasion occa-sion for unkind feelings. For instance, Dne day when Watson, the bookkeeper, had toiled all evening 'over a statement state-ment and was prepared to explain it to the boss, Wilson took it put of his hand, carried it to his superior and calmly took the credit for it, telling Watson afterward how the "old man" had complimented him and utterly ig noring Watson's claim to recognition. Then Miss Smith, the stenographer, toiled a week over a new scheme for filing and was rewarded by hearing Wilson tell the head of the office about a good thing he had get up In the filing fil-ing line. Finally the others decided to do something about it and a consultation was held. One morning Watson went to the bank and while there he was accosted by one of the officers, who asked him t telephone to the office for certain information. He called up his office from the bank and as the head of the concern was not In Wilson did the talking. Watson told him he was speaking from the bank and went on. Wilson blustered around and got the Information that was wanted. When Watson appeared on the scene Wilson swelled up with importance and told him how he had just been talking to "Helio! said the customer to the butcher. "You're back again are you? Did you give bond?" "I'm not on," said the butcher. "I didn't have to give no bonds; I entered'-into 'em." "You wasn't tried, then?" "Well, I guess yes. If you ever have it happen to you you'll think it's a trial. It's the first time with me and you bet it will be the last. The justice said he felt sorry for me." "You did the other party up, then?" "1 guess I did. It was taking a mean advantage of " the woman. Brashes JJ)BQDTB fV ly . know. Urged on by the short, piercing screams, I bounded over and through thorn bushes which in cold blood I should have deemed impossible.. impos-sible.. I emerged from the bush without with-out a shred of clothing on me." ' Still undaunted, he turned round .on his pursuer and, raising his gun, fired at him at short range. The gun, however, how-ever, had been loaded twice and the recoil dashed him to the ground, inflicting in-flicting a serious wound on his face, of which he bears the mark to-day. But many of Mr. Selous' most dangerous dan-gerous adventures have been with buffaloes, of which he has shot considerably con-siderably over 200. "At one fierce bull he pulled the trigger twice, and twice the gun missed fire. As he was about to fire for the third time the bull charged fiercely, plunging his horns deeply into the horse's body and sending his rider sprawling on the ground. In a moment the buffalo was charging at Mr. Selous' prostrate body, but, although he was struck heavily by the animal's horns, the points failed to touch him. Of such narrow escapes from death Mr. Selous could tell scores, if his unconquerable modesty would permit him to talk of his adventures. Several Sev-eral times his life has been attempted by treacherous and unfriendly natives and in one midnight raid on his camp his escape was nothing less than providential. When he found himself him-self in safety he was clad in a shirt, a light coat, and a pair of shoes; and for fourteen terrible days he wander ed alone in the jungle before deliver ance came. On another occasion he spent ninety nine-ty hours without food or water at one time or another he has broken almost every bone in his body; he has been at death's door with fever and ague; he has defied for a score of years every law of health and safety; and yet at fifty-one he remains the picture of health and strength and boasts a constitution that has few rivals in the world. one of the bank officers. Watson said nothing. When the chief came in Wilson hastened has-tened to tell him he had just been talking to the president of the bank about the shares X. Y. Z.. "Funny," observed Carter, the boss. "I thought the president was" in New York." "It may not have been the presi dent, but I understood him to say he was." "Very strange," went on Carter. "He is too deaf to talk over the phone. "Well," said Wilson, nothing daunt ed, "it may have been the vice president." presi-dent." "That's strange, too," said Carter. "I've just been talking with him over in Jones' office." "Of course I could not tell, but it was some officer of the bank," said the undaunted Wilson. "You were talking to me,", drawled Watson. ' "Come into my office, Watson," said Carter, "there is something I want to speak to you about. Miss Smifh, you come in. too. I want to geL.' N tMr. straightened out and yoa t -c n: to help us." ,V3ay , Wilson looked sick; then a bril idea occurred to him. . "Ill be right in the next office! Carter, if you should want me, said. ' ' "Oh, very well. Come in, Watson. Wilson stared at the closed door, then solemnly winked at the office boy. "Watson Is getting stuck up," he Baid. "You've noticed It, eh?" though", I guess, wasn't It?" "A woman, eh!" "Why, certainly," you didn't think I married a man, did you?" "Oh, shucks!" said tne customer. "I didn't know you'd got married. I saw the new man here and I asked the boss where you was, and he said you'd got into trouble and ybu wasn't likely to show up for a week or two. I didn't think it was as serious as that." "Well, you don t want to let it worry you, said the butcher, "It's too late An anything stow." NEW WEST POINT. More Than Five Million Dollars Is to Be Spent by the Government in Improvements at the Military Academy of the Nation. It has been apparent for some time to those best conversant with the needs for training young men for the army through government gratuity that the young soldiers at West Point are not suitably housed ; that in order to keep the reputation of the old military academy where it has long stood, as the best in the world, a radical change must necessarily come. With the great improvements at Annapolis, An-napolis, it was but a step to provide for the army end of the nation's protectors. pro-tectors. Accordingly, by an act of rVinerpss nassed June 28. 1902. the 'i px of $5,500,000 was appropriated to - about certain changes in tne tuaq s j,navr busings, remodeling the ,d giving a more beautiful land- ape effect to the spacious grounds the Hudson. To do this properly a competitive contest was entered into by ten archi-' tectural firms selected by the secretary secre-tary of war the plans best suited to what was ' needed, not only for the present, but a long way Into the future, to be the ones from which the changes would be made. A Boston Bos-ton firm was successful in securing the decision of the committee and q.w that the firm has been officially notified of its success in securing one of the largest outside contracts ever awarded by the government, the working plans will soon be begun. This firm has made a specialty of gothic work, especially in the drawing draw-ing of churcn plans, and from the fact that the present style of buildings build-ings at West Point are along gothic lines the new plans carry the same idea throughout. This is not meant to be construed that the lines will be hard and fast as pertaining to col legiate, ecclesiastical or domestic gothic, but essentially a military gothic, simple, massive and powerful. The plans submitted in competition were simply temporary' ones, but contained con-tained all the details as to elevation, location and topographical effect, while the thesis gave more of the detail as suggested by the architects. With the contract in hand, the firm will at once open an office in New York city, easily accessible to West Point, and the working plans will be forthcoming. It is hoped to have the plans prepared pre-pared during the fall and winter, so that the work of building and reconstructing recon-structing may begin in April. Then, too, the firm is determined to keep within the appropriation at all hazards. haz-ards. Not only has the work devolved upon the firm of providing plans and locations for the proposed new buildings, build-ings, but, there went with it the attendant at-tendant feature of making the landscape land-scape harmonize with the new locations. loca-tions. This was a big feature of the work, and from the plans presented; the rough stones of the cliff had been made to form a foundation in some cases, giving an apparent look that the buildings were of the cliff itself. Since the approach to any institution institu-tion of importance is of great moment, mo-ment, a new landing stage has been indicated for steamboats, ferryboats and pleasure craft. By raising the level of this primary entrance to the reservation so that the railroad will pass underneath, much has been gained in convenience and architectural architec-tural effect, while the grade to the principal approach to the academy will be greatly improved. Other landscape land-scape features in the line of cuts, new roads, look to the greater development develop-ment of plans for the next twenty-five years. The largest structure in the new group, as contemplated under the changes, is the riding hall, 600 by 120 feet of clear space inside. Its roof is supported by steel trusses, while a large low tower at the corner forms, in its lower story, a room for Relax Like the Cat.

There will be space in the upper stories for future assignments. assign-ments. 1 This building is given a logical location on the lower level of the cliff and its design Is severe and simple. Its location shows it to be a continuation continua-tion of the cliff on whose brow it stands, and it will be constructed of the rocks from the cliff itself, rising from the river to form a base for the buildings above. The plans of the building itself show one of the finest riding halls in the world. The extension of the cadet barracks is one of the important questions with which the firm had to deal. In this case there have been added to the old building build-ing seven divisions, one at the south east corner of the old, four at the southeast corner of the area and two at the southwest corir of the old. These seven divisions will provide for 32 men each. . The post headquarters, being the central administrative building of the academy, is treated with all the lm nortance due its function. It will be built around an inner court 120 feet square, three stories hlgu, with a tower 50x50 feet and 150 feat high, or eight stories. This will be a very elaborate elab-orate building of cut stone. The lower stories will be devoted to a mihtary museum, and the upper stores to the necessary offices. The chapel will be the most monumental monu-mental building of the group. It will be placed on the rise of the hill and above all the other buildings and the town, so that its tower will be seen from both the south and north river approaches. This building will be se verely Gothic, outside and in, will be 200 by 80 feet, with a tower 140 feet high. Its outer walls to be of cut stone, while the interior will be a combination of cut stone and brick, sixty feet high and vaulted in masonry while the finishings will be rich in de tail. It is contemplated to make the grand building the Westminster Ab bey of the army, where the distin guished officers of the army may be buried and the place become a memo rial to all great men. The new academic building will also be an important structure, following in a measure the style of the old which will stand directly opposite. In this new building will be the class rooms, laboratories and lecture rooms. doubling the present capacity for the work. The feature of this building, in conjunction with the old, will be the monumental arch and bridge which will connect the two. This connecting link will be of elaborately carved stone and full of niches for statues. The suggestion of the plans are in effect to change the superintendent's quarters to the axis of the main avenue, ave-nue, a point that practically commands the entire academy and post. This building is planned to contain not only residential quarters, but reception rooms and suites of apartments for visiting dignitaries. The south wing will face the plain and academy, and the north wing would be turned at an angle facing directly up he river. The main avenue, as it prolongs itself it-self across the military -plain, demands a focal point of considerable importance. import-ance. The battle monument is to be one side of this line of vision. Balancing Bal-ancing this monument, the firm has indicated another very similar in design, de-sign, to be in memory of the officers and men of the academy who have fallen In wars other than the civil war, blank spaces being left for the inscribing of possible future names. Between these two shafts will rise the flagstaff, and the monuments will form an appropriate center to the view from the upper entrance gates along the main avenue. , An Ozark Story. During the blizzard which struck Kansas at the end of April the Globe of Atchison published a good Ozark story. Down in, the Ozark regions of Missouri by some chance a newspaper strayed into a benighted neighborhood. The natives got hold of it and lost no time in finding a man who could read, all being anxious to hear the news. One man asked the reader, "What are they doing down there in Washington now?" "They are doing lots cf things." the reader replied. "Congress has just passed a law adding add-ing two more months on to the year, and they are both winter months." The questioner jumped from his seat saying, "Geeminee, whiz! And I am just out of fodder." A Pointed Innuendo. "Come in here a minute. I want to buy you a good cigar." "You don't Lave to do that just because be-cause I gave you one yesterday. Besides, Be-sides, you Inow, I don't smoke."

A felt hat blew off a tourist's head last year as he was leaning out of a railway train window in Sweden. Of the man himself nothing further is known, but the felt hat has become famous all over the north of Europe. An employe of the line picked up the hat where it lay and, being an honest man, he tried high and low to find its Dwner. Finally all local efforts failing, he ticketed it and sent it to the next station, to bo claimed by the owner. No such person appeared and the hat was sent on from station to station, an additional ticket being stuck on each time it set out. Thus it has run through the whole of Sweden and Norway, Nor-way, has been at Upsala and Trondh-jem, Trondh-jem, at Christiania and Goteborg and Malmo, has been sent on to Zealand and Finland and is now being sent through the north of Germany, covered cov-ered with labels inside and out.

Depew has told of finding find-ing a visitor in Horace Greeley's editorial edi-torial room when he made a call there. The editor's patience had evidently been almost exhausted, and as he wrote on steadily he would give an occasional kick toward the caller, who every now and then put in a word. Finally turning around, Greeley said: "Tell me what you want. Tell me quick, and in one sentence." The man said: "I want a subscription, Mr. Greeley, for a cause which will prevent pre-vent a thousand of our fellow beings from going to hell." Greeley shouted: "I will not. give you a cent. There don't half enough go there now." As Greeley was a Universalist, this reply was not so severe as it sounded. Not a Dangerous Malady. "I hope that Jenkins will pull through his siege of sickness," remarked re-marked one friend, "for he was always such a jolly fellow." "He must be in pretty good condition and still very volatile," answered the other friend. "This morning I overheard his maid tell my wife that Mr. Jenkins was suffering suf-fering from ammonia." v BABY WEATHER. Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot Days.
