IN THE TALL GRASS OF THE MOUNT ELGON COUNTRY.

A NARROW ESCAPE FROM A LONG-HORNED RHINO.

A THANKSGIVING DINNER AND A VISIT TO A NATIVE VILLAGE Mount Elgon is one of the four great mountains of Africa.

You can find it on the map of the dark continent, standing all alone, just a little bit north of Victoria Nyanza, and surrounded by names that one has never heard of before.
The mountain is distinctly out of the picture-post-card belt--in fact, the only belt that one will find around Elgon is the timber belt that encircles the mountain, and perhaps also a few that the local residents wear on Sundays and national holidays.
The function of the latter class of belt is to keep up a gay appearance.
It is worn for looks, not warmth.
The traveler who goes to Mount Elgon will not be distracted by sounds of civilization, except such as he takes with him.

He will travel for days without seeing a sign of human life beyond his own following.
