The name Rogers prob­ ably conveyed nothing to manjr millions all over the world until the story of his tragic end was pub­ lished broadcast. Yet so many who have traveled in Stanley's "Darkest Africa"--the territory which witnessed the truly remarkable end of an adventurous career--the details of the dramatic chase through the jungles and its still more dramatic conclusion will not be a mere pipe-dream. There must be many others in America besides myself who have been through this section of Central Africa and to whom Rogers was known personally. And to us the story brings regreis, for Rogers was a line type of man, even th&wgh his latter days were spent in outlawry and de­ fiance of lawfully constituted authority. In order that the causes Which led up to the tragedy may be better understood, it is neces­ sary to touch lightly upon history and political facts. Many may recall that the British govern­ ment leased the strip of the Congo territory known as the Lado Enclave--a long strip stretchr lng along the banks of the Nile from the south­ ernmost extremity of Lake Albert to Klro, on the edge of Sudan--to the late King Leopold of the Belgians, for the duration of his lifetime. On his death, it passed back into British hands and, incidentally, under the control of the Sudan officials. Prior to this--that is to say, under Leopold's rule--the Lado Enclave was the happy hunting- gnmnd of a band df British and foreign ivory- poachers. The Belgian administration of the Lado was a mere farce. Officials were few and far between and the natives did as'they willed, without f&ir of let or hindrance. It must be re- copYMc//rerw&cwtr * dowfc'tte good herds of v "Well, youW** cool on*.* Rafters J&filtUift -elephants in his vicinity. , grudgingly. "Do you know I have yon covered pc V.-' ? " were caught red-handed with the poached ivory, they were sent to the Belgian Congo capital, Leo- poldsvllle, on the Congo river, to undergo ton years' hard labor in a chain-gang. This little pleasantry of punishment was the worse imaginable. They were chained round the neck and fastened to a long string of the worst native malefactors. Their Tegs were riveted into chains and round their middles were other heavy chains, supporting the enormous leg-irons. All day these poor wretches worked in the forests or in the open, under a blazing sun, goaded on to further labor by the extreme brutalities of their hard-hearted guards. • White man and negro were treated alike. Ifo favors v/ere shown to any of them. . / • It may be safely stated that the death of Rogers closes the long chapter of lawless ele­ phant poaching in the Congo. For years the Lado Enclave was known as "No Man's Land;" bat it is not so now, for the Sudan government assumed control in June, iSIG, and set about ex­ terminating the poaching industry. On my arival at Mongalla. the southernmost post of the Sudan on the Nile in those days, 1 had the good fortune to meet my old comrade In arms, Capt. C. V. Fox of the Egyptian army, and diseased at length with him the prospects of rout­ ing. out the ivory-poachers. At the time I little thought that, a trifle over twOi years later, Captain Fox would be the central figure wit^h Rogers in one of the most dramatic and exciting stories of real adventure which .has over come out of the Congo, or, for that matter, Africa. But we who know our Africa have learn­ ed to be surprised at nothing. Part of this remarkable story comes to mo di­ rect from my old friend Captain Fox and part from other friends in Africa. Captain Fox's story lacks a good many details, for the modesty of the British soldier is reflected throughout his nar­ rative. There are many points you and I would like to have cleared up, but either Fox's modesty or his sense of what is due to a dying man's last request prevent the elucidation of the blank spaces. For instance, we would like to know who is the doctor referred to by Rogers and Captain Fox. Maybe we shall never know! Rogers' lips are sealed by death and the lips of Captain Fox are sealed by a dying man's lapt charge. The "doo- tor" must go down to posterity as a figure of mystery, unless the Belgians disclose his name. We know that he was the boon companion .of Rogers and we have the latter's statement that he was innocent of poaching." One must sympathize with Rogers, even if one disapproves of his breaches of the law. His la a picturesque figure and he died as, no doubt, be would have wished to have died--with his face to the front and shielding his comrade, the mys­ terious doctor. Rogers was an American who, at different times, was a resident of many, cities in California. He had spent many years of his life in an un­ quenchable search after adventure--with a big A--until he found his heart's desire in Central Africa. He joined in the rush to the Klondike in the late nineties and after his return he entirely disappeared until the news came of his death In Africa. After trying first one thing and then another in Africa, heuturned his hand to elephant poach­ ing* and here he found his true element of ad- venture. He got the natives of the Lado Enclave under his control so that they did his every bidding and acted as his allies. He established an or­ ganized administration over the wild, trackless country, and, among these naked savages, who had hitherto known no master, was virtually a king, even if he was un uncrowned monarch. Time after time be evaded capture by .Sudan and Belgian officials. And, finally, we know th|it ho -* eluded a hot pursuit for ever six weeks. Entering the Lado Enclave with his white-com^ ^ Dan ion, he set to work to mako the unruly and 1 hitherto unsubdued natives subservient to his * . will--and even more than that, for he made them stanch allies. On the approach of govern­ ment officials the natives would give him ample '4 warning so that he could escape. Then he trav- eled about the country until he saw a good v . - for his headquarters, where he could Store his ' -; ivory, ammunition and supplies. The next thing to do was to train a band of • natives to act as soldiers. . All now being ready, ho proceeded to wm&f. . -fr" "^4; v r % 4s? ">• HIB aattvo spies wore trained to bring him early information of the approach of a good herd. No sooner did he get news of some big tuskers tyn ua Set forth thrflugh "lis then: scrub, uiider a biasing tropical sun, to track them. Creeping on all-fours through tike bushes and fifteen-foot-high grass, he made his way into the center of the herd and selected hip bulls. He would follow them up until he had killed off all the best tuskers in the herd. Then would come the cutting up of the elephants and the hewing out of their giant ivory teeth. At last the Sudan government determined to stand this brazen lawlessness no longer. A mes­ senger was dispatched to Rogers warning him to come Jn and surrender, or else, declared the offi­ cials, he would not be wared. • "Itis answer was typical of the man: - *If you want me, come and get me." v * , How CaptaiD Fox, inspector of the Mongolia province In the Sudan, did want Rogers and, moreover, wanted him badly. He accepted the , ^talienge, after first sending wot-d to Rogers that he proposed to bripg him into Mongolia, "dead or alive."' Rogers laughed when he read the nJessage. Back came the answer, on the foot of the same official note: "I am wsdtingx Come and get me." Captain Fox set forth from Mongalla in pursuit of this daring outlaw with the meager force Of a Sudanese non-commissioned officer and six Sudan­ ese soldiers and a few native carriers and mules tor the conveyance of supplies. Up the banks of the Nile went the little party of soldiers and their white leader and ever in advance of them was the fearless Rogers, laugh­ ing in his sleeve and content in the belief that be could outwit the most determined pursuit But he had misjudged the caliber of the m"> who had been sent after him. - Day by day the little party kept on down the Nile, up the Nile, across the Nile, first in the Congo territory and then in Uganda territory. Doubling and redoubling on their trackB, they never gave up hope. Something of the spirit which must have poo- y sessed both pursuer and pursued can be gleaned from the story of the final meeting between those two men. Worn out, wet and hungry, Fox and his party .. reached a village late one night. Here they learn- ed that the poachers had shot a native for dis­ obeying an order given by Rogers. This had happened only that morning,'so now they were hot on the trail of Rogers. Despite their pitiable condition, on learning ' of this murder Captain Fox and his weary men at once set out in the dark in pursuit They traveled all that night and the greater part of the next *day. Toward sunset they came in sight of an Immense village square, around which were posted a hundred of the armed native followers of the poacher. Slowly Captain Fox advancd until ho sto64 4a the center of the armed men. "Where its the white man, your master?" ho ask­ ed authoritatively.,, The armed natives watched him sullenly, with­ out vouchsafing reply. At last after what seem- ed like hours to the captain, one of the natives pointed,silently toward a large house in the cen­ ter of the village. Fox approached the house Indicated, with his rifle cocked and ready for Instant use in case of need. He halted a few paces from the houae and summoned Rogers to come out and surrender. Mo reply came to the first summons and so ho repeated it twice more. All remained as silent as the grave and Fox began to suspect treachery. But he kept hli eyes on the door. Suddenily it opened; and a native servant came out and saluted Fox. "The commandant wants you to come in," he said, in his jtotive dialect r "He is sick, and can not come out to you." At first it looked suspicious, but Fox decided to risk any trap. walked toward the house • &nd left his rifle outside- leanjfag against the wall, '•hen he called to his soldiers to remain on guard and allow no one to leave the house while he was in it Then he passed in through the doorway. He found himself in a largedark room, lighted by a single flickering candle. For a moment his eyes failed to see anything, but gradually he .be­ came accustomed to the dark light and made out the figure of a white man lying on a camp «cot. - Beside him sat another white man, who was un­ known to Fox. He had heard that there was an­ other white man with Rogers, whom the natives called "Doctor," but his identity had never boon learned by the government •Surrounding the bed were ten armed native ' followers of Rogers, who eyed the soldier with sullen suspicion. * -v Fox stood inside the door and looked from one white man to the other. "Which is Mr. Rogers?" he asked, breaking the strained silence. "Mr. Rogers has been shot," replied the white man sitting beside the cot, with a growl of an­ ger. "Yes, and by your men.** The man on the bed spoke thickly aad as if In great pain. "I am sorry, very sorry, Indeed, that you have been wounded, Mr. Rogers." Fox walked slowly forW^trd to the bed. 'I hope It is not serious, but certainly you are mistaken in thinking my sol­ diers did it" "No!" Rogers thundered at him, partly rising in bed and falling back with a groan. The othea white man tried to soothe him. "It was by the • soldiers you sent here to krrest me," he contin­ ued, with bitter hate. "There were three of my men on ahead of me, it Is true," Fox replied, "but I am convinced they would not have shot at you or interfered with you." The man on tho bed oyed the soldier sternly, without answering. For a few moments there was silence. "Come and stand right here so that I can have ^ a look at you," Rogers ordered Fox suddenly:* "Now, tell mo what you want with me." Captain Fox, being still imsnsed, went and' stood beside the bed. Under the red blankets covering Rogers could be seen the shape of a heavy revolver. It was pointing straight at Fox's breast Rogers' eyes tforo biasing. Still the sol­ dier did not flinch. with my Colt?' ^, fYes, but you wont dare to shoot," Fox laughed «uetly. "Won't dare! Why not, I should like to know?" Rogers answered back. "I have over, a hundred armed men outside and you only have four men With you, so my men tell me." "Nevertheless, you won't dare shoot me or mo­ lest my men. You are under arrest, Mr. Rogers, tor illicit ivory-poaching, murder, entering a ' closed district without a permit, and carrying a gun without a license." "So that is what I am charged with, it it?" Rogers smiled grimly. "Have you no other charges to prefer?" . "You're wounded Let d! that reot nntfl you are better." 'v "No, I'm a dying man, I guess. Do you know you're in the Belgian territory, that you are sur­ rounded by my men, and that you stand more Chance of arrest than I do?" "You are mistaken., I am not in Belgian terri­ tory and we need not discuss tho chances of sny arrest" Captain Pox deemed It wise not to excite tho, man any more and silently withdrew from the room. Once outside, he set to work to' disarm f tho followers of the dying Rogers. This was soon accomplished, for they wore cowed, now thUt their leader was helpless. In the middle of th^ night a native servant came to Captain Fox to say that Rogers was dy­ ing, and that he wished to speak to the officer. The soldiers did not want him to go into tho house again. But Captain Fox was not to be de­ terred. As he entered the houae, Rogers turned to hla white companion, saying: "Doctor, I wish you to hear and be a witness *0 what I am going to say to Captain Fox. I sur­ render myself voluntarily to the Sudan govern­ ment I want you to see that the doctor gets into no trouble over this affair, captain. I be­ lieve I am a dying man, so that I am not going to lie about it. This was my show sndail ay work. The doctor is blameless." On the following afternoon the three soldiers who had been sent on ahead arrived at the vil­ lage and gave Captain Fox an account of their experience. They stated that on arriving in tho poacher's stronghold Rogers ordered them to give u* their arms. He seised his Mauser rifle and opened fire With it and a revolver. His companion, the doctor, also fired on the soldiers with a Winches­ ter. Others attacked them with Winchesters and With arrows. Had it not been almost dark, the soldiers would have been killed and, as it wjw, they all had narrow escapes, ail of them being hit In the fighting, Rogers was struck by a soldier's bullet which lodged near the hip, but ho walked to his houBe and sat down in a chair. By this time Captain Fox was satisfied that ho was on Belgian territory and wrote to the Bel­ gian commandant to explain tho occurrence. Two days later the Belgian officer arrived on tho scene with a larg« pjcort of troops . The day after the arrival of the Belgians, Rog­ ers was obviously dying, and sent for Fox. Ho W& conscious to the end, and described hit symp­ toms. "Say, captain, yon are a big fellow and strong. Lift mo up once more--for the last time," ho muttered. 1 shall not be here tomorrow. I'm •till pretty heavy, ain't I?" Fox leaned over him and gently raised him on tho bed, with his arms under tho dying man's shoulders. "I'm sorry, Rogers," he anid, %at yon brought this on yourself." "I know, old man. You're all right I would rather have surrendered to you than any one. Good-bye, Doc. Good-by, captain... Remember, tho doctor is Innocent, all my sh " His head dropped back as his spirit went to render its last account to its Maker. Gently Fox laid the body of the poacher on the bed and then turned away to escape the sorrow of the doctor, who. was deeply unstrung by his friend's death. And so this man died, far away from his friendS aad country. Full of courage and grit to the end, his fate was worthy of a better cause. So did the curtain fall upon the most dramatic tragedy in . Che history of the Congo elephant-poachers. URGING GREAT SALS OF CANNBO POODS* Dealers, grocers.

Short Chapter of the Bible That la Little Road. One of the disappointed statesmen of the ceun- try on election night found solaco in reading ftabukkuk, eighth of the minor prophets, as found In the old testament. We doubt if many persons, even such as are fairly familiar with the Bible, frequently read this little work of three chapters, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. It is seldom ooo hoars texts from this book preached upon. As a fact, nothing is known whatever of Habak- kuk unless he be identified with one of the same name who is mentioned In the apocryphal works as having ministered to Daniel in the lion's den. The name is not Hebrew, but may have been as­ sumed for literary purposes, as was-not uncom­ mon in those days. The gist of the first two chapters of the feook is the grief of the prophet over the approaching Chaldeans. The last chapter is a poem with musical directions, which some persons think was written by another of the same name or title. Perhaps not many persons know that in this book is found the familiar quotations "But tho Lord is in'his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence befpre him." , "How did yoL an get yo' nose host* odr '7 dono slipped down an' plumb lit on my back."
