after a hunting trip in South Africa. Col. Caswell is 
chief ordnance of the general staff, Mass. National 
Guard. He brought home with him a fund of South 
African hunting tales which were not to be put in the 
shade by even the name of his head native porter, “Oh 5o 
Dark.” He also brought with him eighty-eight speci. 
mens of big game for the Agassiz Museum at Harvard. 
he colonel tells how during one of his hunting beats, 
he was training a cheetah cub, when the mother sprang 
at him and pinned him down by one leg. ‘The colonel 
ad no rifle, which reposed in the hands of the trusty Oh 
So Dark. He yelled for help and Oh So Dark, quick to 
grasp the essentials of the situation, seized the cheetah by 
the tail with one hand, thus holding her rigid, while 
with the other he courteously extended the needed rifle 
te; his master. Aiming with precision, the colonel killed 
the cheetah with one shot, taking care not to wound Oh 
Sq Dark at the other end of the target. His leg was 
badly torn.
