' Ifp4 "As I spoke , the lioness once more Hp 1 flashed out of the bush , and this time \ sprung right over the doomed ox. It Wl I was an exciting sight to see her clear IP.

Hfc * ' 'Well , ' I said , 'we must just let her BnL roar ; to go into that bush after her at H , j night would be madness. ' H \ "At that moment , to my astonish- * Bk ment and alarm , there came an answer- Bj * . ing roar from the direction of the v B v river , and then another from behind Bre the swell of hush. Evidently there mWM were more lions about. The wounded B % lioness redoubled her efforts , with the B \b object , I suppose , of summoning the By others to her assistance. At any rate { ff they came , and quickly too , for within j Bll five minutes , peeping through the Hl\ bushes of our skerm fence , we saw a Hjij | < . magnificent lion bounding along H | | \ toward us , through the tall tamboulin HjS grass , that in the moonlight , was K < r now very like ripening corn. On fl w he came in great leaps , and a glorious Bl sight it was to see him. When within * Ht fifty yards or so > he stood still in an Hh open space and roared , and the lioness HB { roared to , and then there came a third HB > roar , and another great black-maned H0 { lion stalked majestically up , and joined H * number two , and really I began to Hl i realize what Jim-Jim must have under- Bf ) K " 'Now , Harry , ' I whispered , 'what- Hp ever you do , don't fire , it's too risky. If f- . they let us be , let them be. ' | f . "Well , the pair of them marched off fl to the bush , where the wounded lioness | | " 'as now roaring double tides , and the Hb % whole three of them began to snarl and B 3b - grumble away together there. Present- B m \ ly' however the lioness ceased roaring , BtiP and the two lions came out again , the Bp black-maned one first to prospect , I B | | suppose and walked to where the car- BL | cass of the ox lay , and sniffed at it. k\ " 'Oh , what a shot ! ' whispered Harry , ! | r "who was trembling with excitement. B | | " 'Yes * 1 said' 'but d ° n't fire ; they H might all of them come for us. ' H § | "Harry said nothing , but whether it Hfv was from the natural willfulness of BE ycutb , or because he was thrown off his Hji balance by excitement , or from sheer Hil recklessness , I am sure I can not tell H& you , never having been able to get a Hf satisfactory explanation from him ; but Hlt -at any rate the fact remains , he , with- Bf out word or warning , entirely disre- Wf F garding my exhortations , lifted up his Lkg Westley Richards , and fired at the HmPhlackmaned / lion , and , what is more , Hi hit it slightly on the flank. Ha "Next second there was a most awful H / roar from the injured brute. He Bk * glared around him , and roared with wk / pain for he was sadly stung , and then K before I could make up my mind what H to do , the great black-maned brute , -evidently ignorant of the cause of his pain , sprung right at the throat of his VMVf companion , to whom he evidently at- WMj tributed his misfortune. It was a curious - ous sight to see the evident astonish- B\ ment of the other lion at this most un- P „ provoked assault. Over he rolled with B y - -an angry roar , and on to him sprang wF Ihe black-maned demon , and comB - B menced to worry him. This finally B awoke the yellow-maned lion to a sense R of the situation , and I am bound to say K that hs rose to the occasion in a most B. effective manner. Somehow or other LW he got to his feet , and , roaring and L\ \ smarting frigbtfullj\ closed with his B silghtF foe. .And then ensued a scene ' ' ' ' " & . " " ' " * " " " * ' ' ' * irjX'if-1 ' that absolutely baffles description. Tou know what a shocking thing It Ib to see two large dogs 'fighting with aban donment Well , a whole hundred of dogs could not have looked half so ter rible as those two great brutes as they rolled and roared and rent in their rage. It was an awful and a wondsrful thing to see the great cats tearing at each other with all the fierce energy of their savage strength , and making the night hideous with their heart-shak ing noise. And the fight was a grand one , too. For some minutes it was im possible to say which was getting the best of it , but at last I saw that the black-maned lion , though he was slightly the bigger , was failing. I am inclined to think that the wound in his flank crippled him. Anyway he began to get the worst of it , which served him right , as he was the aggressor. Still I could not help feeling sorry for him , for he had fought a gallant fight when his antagonist finally got him by the throat , and , struggle and fight as he would , began to shake the life out of him. Over and over they rolled to gether , an awe-inspiring spectacle , but the yellow boy would not loose his hold , and at length poor black-mane grew faint , his breath came in great snores and seemed to rattle in his nos trils , then he opened his huge mouth , gave the ghost of a roar , quivered , and was dead. "When he was quite sure that the victory was his own , the yellow-maned lion loosened his grip and sniffed at his fallen foe. Then he licked the dead lion's eye , and next , with his fore feet resting on the carcass , sent up his own chant of victory , that went rolling and pealing down the dark ways of the night in all the gathered majesty of sound. And at this point I interfered. Taking a .careful sight at the center of his body , in order to give the largest possible margin for error , I fired , and sent a .570 express bullet right through him , and down he dropped dead upon his mighty foe. "At that , fairly satisfied with our per formances , we slept peacefully till dawn , leaving Pharaoh to keep watch in case any more lions should take it into their heads to come our way. "When the sun was fairly up we arose , and ven- cautiously proceeded at least Pharaoh and I did , for I would not allow Harry to come to see if we could see anything of the wounded lioness. She had ceased roaring im mediately on the arrival of the two lions , and had not made a sound since , from which we concluded that she was probably dead. I was armed with my express , while Pharaoh , in whose hands a rifle was indeed a dangerous weapon to his companions had an ax. On our way we stopped to look at the two dead lions. They were magnificent animals , both of them , but their pelts were entirely spoiled by the terrible mauling they had given to each other , which was a sad pity. In another minute we were following the blood spoor of the wounded lion ess into the bush , where she had taken refuge. This , I need hardly say , we did with the utmost caution ; indeed , I for one did not at all like the job , and was only consoled by the reflection that it was necessary and that the bush was not thick. Well , we stood there , keep ing as far from the trees as possible , and poking and speering about , but no lioness could we see. " 'She must have gone away some where to die , Pharaoh , ' I said in Zulu. " 'Yes , Inkoos' ( chief ) , he answered , * she has certainly gone away. ' "Hardly were the words out of his mouth when I heard a most awful roar , and looking around saw the lioness emerge from the very center of a bush just behind Pharaoh in which she had been curled up. Up she went on to her hind legs , and as she did so I saw that one of her fore paws was broken near the shoulder , foi it hung limply down. "Up she went towering right over Pha raoh's head , as she did so lifting her uninjured paw to strike him down. And then , before I could get my rifle round or do anything to avert the coming catastrophe , the Zulu did a very brave and clever thing. Realiz ing his own imminent danger , he bounded to one side , and then , swing ing the heavy ax round his head , brought it right down onto her back , severing the vertebrae and killing her instantaneously. It was wonderful to see her collapse all in a heap like an emptj * sack. " 'My word , Pharaoh , ' I said , 'that was well done , and none too soon. ' " 'Yes , ' he answered , 'it was a good stroke , Inkoos. Jim-Jim will sleep bet ter now. * "Then , calling Harry to us , we ex amined the lioness. She was old , if one might judge from her worn teeth , and not very large , but thickly made , and must have possessed extraordinary vitality to have lived so long , shot as she was ; for , in addition to her broken shoulder , my express bullet had blow" a great hole in her that one might hav put one's fist into. "Well , that is the story of the death of poor Jim-Jim and how we avenged it , and it is rather interesting in itp way , because of the fight between thP two lions , of which I never saw the likr in all my experience , and I know some thing of lions and their ways. " "And how did you get back to Pil grims' Rest ? " I asked hunter Quater- main when he had finished his yarn. "Ah , we had a nice job with that , " he answered. "The second ox died and so did another , and we had to get on as best we could with the three remain ing ones harnessed unicorn fashion , while we pushed behind. We did about four miles a day. and it took us nearly a month , during the last week of which we.pretty well starved. " "I notice * " I said , "that most of your trips ended in disaster of some sort or another , and yet you went on making them , which strikes one as a little ' " aueec- "Yes , I dare say ; but then remem ber I got my living for many yearn out of hunting. Besides , half the charm of the thing lay in the dangers and dis asters , though they were terrible enough at the time. Another thing is/ they were not all disastrous. Some time , If you like , I will tell you a story of one which was very much the re verse , for I made four thousand pounds out of it , and saw one of the most ex traordinary sights a hunter ever clapped his eyes on. " REBUILDING NOSES. Aluminium as a Foundation and Hotr It Is Used. In this era of reconstruction through which New York is passing even noses come in for their share of remodeling and rebuilding , says the New York Tribune. So many people are afflicted with a disfiguring disease which eats away the nose and face that "plastic surgery" has felt called on to find means to restore broken or decayed noses to their original beauty , or even to improve on that Dr. Robert Weir was among the first to discover a prac tical solution. He experimented with some success in transplanting bones of living fowl to the human face. One of his earlier operations was conduct ed in a stuffy little Harlem flat. His patient was stretched on the table un der ether ; her face was laid open and streaming blood , but the duck , not re ceiving due attention , had escaped un noticed from the assistant "Now , doc tor , " said Dr. Weir to a dignified par ticipant , "oblige me by half-killing that bird and let me have about three inches from its breast bone for this .girl's nose. ' " Amid the grewsome surround ings there were ten minutes of rigorous " exercise in catching the bird and reducing - ducing it to a state of insensibility. Since then he has dispensed with live birds and has turned his attention to gutta percha , rubber , silver and gold for nose bridges. All these failed be cause electrical action was generated , requiring further operations. Finally , pure aluminum was resorted to with satisfactory results. Now the nose bone is made of that metal. It has a stout hook at the upper end by which it is secured to the base of the forehead , while the other end is held out from the face by two short legs terminating in sharp spikes which are anchored in the bone. There is no necessity for ug ly scars , because the operation is car ried on entirely beneath the skin. A long incision is made under the upper lip above the teeth , so that the whole flap of the face can be turned back like a mask or an old glove. Then when the metal framework is secured the skin is drawn down again and the nose tis sue is shaped into a Grecian , Roman or pug nose , as desired. Seven years ago Dr. Weir got his first ideas from French publications , but has since made many modifications and improvements. Other prominent surgeons have followed his example , such as Dr. Abbe , Dr. Powers of Denver and Dr. Knight The opera tion is comparatively simple and all have succeeded in restoring noses , which , if they are not of service in distinguishing bad odors from good , are at least beautiful in looking nat ural. STOLE A STONE WALL. It Surrounded a Cemetery Live Fighef Also Become Booty. Two of the most unique cases of thieving onrecord are being.investigat- ed in Haverhill , Mass. , says the New York Press. One is the stealing of 15- 000 live fish and the other the theft of a big stone wall surrounding the cem etery of the Hebrew Burial association. This is the first instance ever chroni cled of the larceny of a stone wall from a graveyard. Last fall Charles Goodrich constructed an artificial lake on his estate and stocked it with "shin ers" which he intended to sell this winter. Yesterday he had the sale and went in search of the fish , but found that they had all gone. The lake was still there , and as there is no outlet there was only one explanation of the mystery. The Hebrew Burial association pur chased twenty acres of land near the Whittier homestead two years ago. It inclosed the lot with a stone wall. The wall has taken wings just as mysteri ously as did the fish in the artificial lake. lake.The The members of the association claim that the stones were taken when the Millvale reservoir was built , and they say that they will bring suit against the water board. The members of the board , however , deny that they touched the stones at all and say that they got their stone from a lot of land which they purchased. The stolen wall was about half a mile long. It is estimated that there was nearly 1,000 cords of stone in the wall. Haverhill thieves have certain ly selected strange booty. What have they done with it ? Where could they hide it ? The folk of Haverhill say that a man who will steal the fence from a graveyard will hesitate at noth ing. A JIarried Man. Merchant Tailor Good morning , Mr. Truepay. What can I do for you this morning ? Mr. Truepay I want a suit of clothes. "Yes , sir. John , the tape and book , please. " "Eh ? Readymade - made ? " "Yes a cheap one. " "Cer tainly certainly. Right this way , please. I hadn't heard of your mar riage. " New York Weekly. For Fun. Theatergoer ( to professional claqueur ) Why don't you applaud this piece ? Don't you think it's excellent ?

Working : Men and Farmer * Argulnc It * Passage Importer * and Foreigners Fighting It A Great Boon for the Working I'eople. The only persons who are expressing dissatisfaction with the new tariff bill are the foreigners and importers. Ger many , Canada , England and other for eign countries are scolding about the Dingley bill ; so is the Reform Club of New York , which is made up principal ly of importers. The chief objertion offered to the bill is that it is a bill. The people want it to become an act and that very promptly. Capital Awaiting Investment. Millions of capital is now awaiting the action of Congress on the tariff bill. Its enactment will be a signal for activity among the factories of the east , and the beet growing sections of the west , in the cotton fields and fac tories of the south , in the manufactur ing establishments of the Mississippi valley and on the fertile fields of the Pacific slope. Earnings Already Increasing. One hundred thousand dollars a day is a neat sum to add to the earnings of the working people of one state in six months' time. The Labor Bureau of Pennsylvania reports one hundred thousand more men employed in that state today than were so employed prior to the election of McKinley. This means one hundred thousand dollars a day increased earnings by them , to say nothing of the increased wages paid to those who were employed , or working on short time. Multiply this by the number of states or by their proportionate tionate populations and you get a prac tical demonstration of the improve ment going on in business since the election of last November , which as sured a protective tariff and increase in employment The Free Coinage Democrats Depressed. Ex-Candidate Bryan , who has been in Washington the last few days , ad mitted to his friends that the silver developments of the past few months have been very damaging to the cause. Had they occurred in the five months preceding it , the collapse of their sil ver proposition would have been much more complete and crushing than it was. Japan , Russia and China , to which they constantly referred as the chief props in support of their silver theories , have all , since the election , announced their desertion of the sil ver standard. This leaves Mexico and South American countries about the only ones now maintaining the stand ard of the white metal and several of these are making preparations to go to the gold standard as quickly as pos sible. It was a mean thing on the part of the people of the empire of Japan to let the people of the United States go all through the agonies of the campaign , looking to them as a great silver people ple , when they had already made up their minds to adopt the gold standard. The latest advices from that country show that the proposition for the adop tion of the gold standard had been un der consideration for two years and that the officials of the nation had practically determined to adopt it dur ing the very time that the people of this country were looking upon them as the most ardent advocates of silver. A hint as to their plans would have saved much of the worry and speechmaking - making in the late election in the United States. Mad Importers. The importers of the country are mad as so many wet hens. They expected to make millions out of their excessive importations prior to the final enact ment of the Dingley bill , but the re trospective clause introduced at the last moment and passed by the house has upset their plans completely. Their hope of being able to import hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods during tbe discussion of the bill in the senate is gone , and they will not be likely to add materially to the enor mous stocks of goods which they had already brought in to escape payments of increased rates of duties. The South for Protection. No tariff bill ever passed in Congress received as many southern votes as did the one which has just passed the house. Twenty-five republicans , five democrats and one populist , from the south , supported the Dingley bill in tha house , and the other populists from that section declined to vote against it. Protection in the south has made won derful strides in the last few years and will continue in the same line. Factory smoke breeds republicanism. The springing up of factories through out the south has been followed by a growth of protective sentiment and re- mblican membership in congress from hat section. More than thirty votes rom the south were cast for a protec- ive tariff measure in the house and he southern states-had thirty-three • epublican members in last congress , .vhile in no preceding congress had the oarty been represented by mere than aalf that number from that section. WueiDemccrats from North and South Carolina. Alabama. Mississippi. Louisi ana and Texas joined with the republicans - _ licans in supporting protective views and a protective tariff bill , there can remain no doubt of the growth of re publican principles in that section. G. H. WILLIAMS. Frr-sperity Is Returning. Prosperity cannot be restored to this country in a daj % in a year or per- ii-ars for several years. To understand his fully , we should consider the great ( .brnructiens which lie in the pathway - > f these who have sndcrtaken the her- T . 9 culean task of restoring the country to its normal conditions. The path way to success In this effort is render ed almost impassable by the wreckage of our Industries ; the arteries of trade and commerce are choked up with for eign and deleterious substances ; the very life blood of the nation is poi soned with potions administered by alien enemies. We stand at the dead line of na tional bankruptcy and general demor alization. True , we have retraced our steps , under the guidance of a wise and skillful leader. But it is always easier to descend than to ascend a hill. It is a long and tedious road to the summit of Mount Prosperity. It was a good deal easier for the Israelites to get into Egypt than to get out again. So it was a good deal easier to ruin our industries than it will be to rehabilitate them. Yet we have a Moses who will lead us safely through the Red Sea , and although the journey to the promised land may be attend ed with many dangers and hardships , and though a silver calf may be set up to seduce people away from the true way. or brazen serpents may be set up to avenge disobedience , our intrepid leader will smite the rock for the thirs ty , and , if we are guided by the light of faith and intelligence , we shall event ually reach the land of corn and wine. Cleveland World. i Japan and .Silver. In adopting a monetary system which will keep both gold and silver in circulation , Japan has destroyed the frightful proportions of the scare which the advocates of free silver coin age had prepared by representing that by being on a silver basis Japan woulu capture our markets if we did not adopt silver monometallism , which Mr. Bryan mistakes for bimetallism. A year ago quite a number of people were mystified by the story of the great prosperity of Japanese manufacturers under a silver basis , and it was said that the same prosperity would come to us if Ave should legislate so that silver would be the monetary stand ard. Japan was paying much less wages in silver than was being paid in gold in " the United States. Under such conditions there could be no mystery in the statement that the manufacturers of cotton goods in Japan could make verj * much more money to each thousand spindles than was be ing made by manufacturers paying more wages on the gold basis. It was not the mysterious potency of silver which caused manufacturers to thrive in Japan , but the plain fact that in paying wages in silver they paid in money of half purchase power. The manufacturers who have a market and pay only a quarter as much wages as their competitors will make money where the others will fail. And that was the reason for the prosperity in Japan for the limited number having capital invested in cotton mills. But for the thousands who worked in the mills nothing was said , but people were left to infer that they shared this prosperity when , as a matter of fact , they worked for very low wages and subsisted on rice and on otherwise scanty diet All this has been changed. Japan has declared for the coinage of both metals on the ratio of 33 to 1. The value of the silver wages of a year ago has been doubled. Indianapolis Jour nal. The Dingley Tariff. The punctual passage of the Ding ley tariff by a solid republican vote is something more than mere proof of the excellence of the party dis cipline. It is more than proof of ad mirable party leadership. It is a token of the splendid unity of pui pose of the republican congress men , who , differing , perhaps , as to some details of the Dingley bill , are one in their loyal approval of its great principles and purposes. This absolute unanimity in support of a measure so complicated and so im portant is extraordinary in the annals of legislation. Boston Journal. In the Interests of Honest Manufacture To build up the American manufac ture of woolen goods has been one of the hardest tasks met in all the thirty- six years of protection. It is the judg ment of the ablest and most experi enced men , after many years of only partial success , that there has never been a tariff on woolens which had not weak and vulnerable points. A duty of 50 per cent on steel rails cannot be evaded. But a duty of 10 per cent on many kinds of woolen cloths is of no effect whatever , if the foreign maker can produce what appears to the ordi nary consumer the very same cloth , by use of shoddy , at half former cost. It is the deliberate purpose of the Ding ley bill to make impossible this de struction of American manufacture by importations of swindling products of shoddy. New Y'ork Tribune. It Guards Great Interests. In the arrangements necessary to securp sufficient revenue the commit tee , it is gratifying to know , has not lost sight of the relations of a wise tariff system to the attainment of the highest possible material life of the nation. The framing of a tariff in one sense is the building of the nation. A bill of this kind should be so con structed as to secure the nation in times of war. both in its means of defense and of industrial independ ence. It should cnsider its position among other nations. It should en deavor to es courage all the arts which fortify , enrich and adorn , give em ployment in skilled labor and extend in every possible way the comfort and welfare of all the people. To show- how momentous to these interests are the questions involved in such a tariff revision as that just completed by the ways and means committee I have pre pared a statement of the productive industrials of the country for five da- cades , all of which are affected In r.omo | way by the bill under consideration. | Until the sudden revulsion of our industrial - | dustrial progress , soon after the advent H of the free trade administration , March H 1893 , our industrial advance had been , H as H Number Wcrcs Value of H Year.
