Elephant 



for bagging anything under this weight ; so it 

 is a great bore to be obhged to shoot a tiny bull 

 or a charging cow in self-defence, they both count 

 on one's licence — two only are allowed on each 

 licence — and therefore one elephant is practically 

 wasted. 



A friend, the other day, shot his bull — a 

 seventy-pounder — then, immediately afterwards, 

 a cow in self-defence, and went home angry. 

 Imagine then his horror on being- confronted 

 with the news next day that a second cow had 

 been found dead near the former cow. Presum- 

 ably one of his shots at the charging cow had 

 killed the second whilst hidden behind some long- 

 grass. That is the only way the death of the 

 second cow could be accounted for.
