10 PRINCE WRITES SOUL INTO BOCK German Noble Says He Real izes His Littleness in Face of Nature. f KRUN, July K —The book of the erown prince. Leaves from My Hunting Diary.'’ giving hie own account of hie sporting experiences in Europe and India during 1910 and 1911. has Just been pub lished The book is handsomely produced with the prince s initial and coronet em blazoned in gold, and Is illustrated by photographs mostlv taken by the prime or the princess In the preface the prince says "In offering these pages to the public I feel a certain embarrassment, and I want to save my readers from false Illusions These little sketches are simple and plain and lay claim to no literary value They are loose leaves taken from the diary of a man who loves real hunting, and to whom great and beautiful nature Is an inexhaustible source of loveliness and the Joy of life ’ iln describing his stay in a country house in Scotland, the prince says Praises English Country Houses, "These English country house* are. to my mind, the most elegant and at the same time the most comfortable Imag inable Every guest In such a house is looked after in a delightful way. and this Is done in wtch a charming manner that a guest Is never conscious that his host la trouWlng himself about him In the F art of entertaining the English are a genial ideal With us. people think it neo esgarv to be always talking to a guest. He Is worried to death with engagements, pleasures and sightseeing There is noth ing of that in England Meals are at cer tain hours When the house party comes together, if there is nothing special to do. such as a hunt, then everybody is his own master." The prince shows a racy stvle In nar rating his first experience 1n elephant hunting in Ceylon "We had splashing about perspirlngly for some three-quarters of an hour with out seeing anything when we suddenly heard a very strange noise It sounded like the dull growth of distant thunder as we approached nearer Our leader ex plained in a whisper that It was the snoring of an elephant which was taking Its midday nap quite close to us. He was right After we had crept forward about another 900 meters—(this creeping was, moreover, no trifle. In view of the nature of this close relation of a pontine marsh off the slippery ground of which we slith ered about miserably) we saw the colos sus lying on his side, gray, massive, with the head pointed toward us and fast asleep Cenfeaaes Nervousness. ”ft had been Impressed upon me where I should place my bullet, either from the side on a triangle between the eve and the ear or from in front Immediately above the root of the trunk I knelt down in the swamp and steadied myself against a,small willow, or something similar I aimed at the spot above the trunk and confess that 1 placed mv linger very ner vously on the trigger "What happened then is Indescribable, the crack of the shot mingled with a kind of earth and sea-quake, and a terrible trumpeting from the so rudely awakened oM gentleman "He had rolled himself onto his feet I could see the place where my shot had hit him Although too high, the shot must have been through the oblique po sition of the head and it failed to strike a vita! part "There the fellow stood puzzled and raging only a moment, but Just long enough for FTnckensteln and one of the Englishmen, each to get in a bullet, then the wounded giant lured and crashed away from us There we stood with sill' faces The Englishmen said, ‘damn.’ and we said. 'Verflucht, which is pretty much the same thing Elephant Gets Away. "It was at once clear to me that we must follow One of the Englishmen, however, declared straight out that he could not agree to my going another step further, for a wounded elephant was no Joke. "We replied calmly that he could re main behind, which he decided to do. so we all set off on the track of the wounded animal -this pursuit I shall never forget in all my life “The undergrowth was enormously thick and entirely blocker! the view At any moment we might be confronted by the wounded elephant At twenty paces dis tant, if he attacked us we were lost; as to that, there was no doubt the ground was slippery and covered with thorns so that we could not deviate two steps from the elephant's track There were no large trees "Destruction threatened us behind the wall of brushwood, and as a matter of fact we were almost taken by surprise One of the English gentlemen brushes the curtain of creepers aside, and then I see that he suddenly makes spasmodic signs to me, I spring forward and gesticulate quickly to Flnckensteln in front of us. Twenty paces away stands the gray giant ready for attack, the mighty ears extend ed. and trunk rolled up "We opened a quick fire The bullets galled in on him. then he turned and went off at a Jog trot "I was in despair Al' the trouble, the excitement and the danger had been *’.l vain We set otr again in pursuit, and for two hours more, palnfullv and ever more painfully, fought our wav through thicket and swamp til! at last our strength failed Struggling for air. each one sat down exactly where he was. that Is ho sav. In the water The elephant had more than a dozen bullets In him and yet we never saw anything more, of him Safety of principal and 4 per cent interest is assured to Savings Depositors by the TRUST COMPANY OF GEORGIA. gBSHFUJ J M.... 111 i ■mii ■ - GEORGIAN Want Ads EKING RESULT?
