The money stolen from the bank was subsequently recovered, being found concealed in the field where the desperate men made their last stand. THE WIDE WORLD: In Other Magazines. PHOTOGRAPHED IN A FOOT. [Illustration] This merry little five-year-old nigger-boy is comfortably stowed inside an elephant's foot, and, judging from the size of his smile, seems delighted at being photographed in such a strange position. The elephant was shot by us some months ago, and the foot is large enough to hide the boy completely.--+MR. F. K. ROWE+ (Uganda), +IN "THE STRAND MAGAZINE."+ * * * * * BEAR-HUNTING IN SWEDEN. Twice in my chase of Bruin I have made use of a bear-spear as my weapon of attack, and, as some newspaper writers in their search after copy have rioted furiously over my methods, I may take this opportunity to maintain that the use of a spear entails no greater cruelty than any other mode of attack and that every hunter should be armed with one in reserve, since these powerful beasts have a vitality that triumphs over a stray bullet or more unless lodged in a vital region, and when wounded their retaliation is redoubtable and easily fatal. In Karelen the bear is yet regarded as a noxious horror. The great black-haired "Slagbjörn," or killing bear, is still rampant there, and a couple of winters back I was able to wreak justifiable vengeance on some beasts that had killed over a score of cows and nine horses.--+COUNT ERIC VON ROSEN, IN "COUNTRY LIFE."+ * * * * * WASHINGTON'S CHARM.

There is a large section of naval and military, literary, and scientific men. Society is cosmopolitan rather than local. It is not narrow in any way, and over all there hangs the charm of the White House and its inmates.--+"WOMAN'S LIFE."+ * * * * * A JOKE WHICH DIDN'T WORK. Commander Peary, the famous Arctic explorer, never starts on one of his exploring expeditions without receiving all sorts of packages from cranks--cowhide underwear, tea tablets, medicated boots, and what not. A few days before the start of his last trip a club acquaintance wired him to expect an important package by express. The package came. It was labelled: "To be opened at the farthest point north." Peary opened it at once, however. It was a small keg, inscribed: "Axle grease for the pole."--+"TIT-BITS."+ * * * * * THE CHAUFFEUR ABROAD. [Illustration]
