AFRICAN LIONS
They Often Hunt In Couples to Start
and Capture Their Prey
Lions in Africa go hunting often in
couples and then rather systematical
ly When for instance a couple of
lions have traced out a kraal that Is
to say a place fenced by small cut
thorn trees where flocks of asses or
oxen goats or sheep are shut up for
the night the lioness approaches cau
tiously profiting by every tree or bush
to hide herself At the same time the
lion himself lies watching on the op
posite in the distance
Now the lioness exerts herself to
arouse the cattle which is not diffi
cult as they become excited merely
by smelling a beast of prey till the
cattle are tormented to the utmost by
fear and horror break through the
kraal on the side opposite to the lion
ess and thus fall an easy prey to the
lion
The lion chases his victim and throt
tles it by springing on its neck or
breast and biting his teeth into this
part The hunted animal falls and
the Hon now tears open the flanks
The lioness appears and has her share
of the meal Very often they cannot
devour their victim in one nht then
they come back to the place where the
remains are on the following or the
second night
The lions favorite food is zebra
quagga of which there are few left
in Africa and wild ass The meat of
these three kind of animals is some
thing alike in taste

It Possessed important Infor
mation For General Wash
ington at Morristown
By JAMES T BARTON
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation 191L
Among the curiosities of the Revolu
tionary war Is the headquarters of Gen
eral Washington near Morristown N
J One morning during his occupancy
Df the premises Lieutenant Edwin God
dard entered the hall when the door of
the private office opened and Captain
Alexander Hamilton aid-de-camp to
the commander in chief came out
Is the general in his office ask
ed Goddard
Yes
Busy
Always busy
Do you think ho will receive me
Go in and he will let you know
ffhat to expect
The lieutenant knocked and the so
norous voice from within called upon
him to enter As he did so the general
turned his face showing a serious
ness to be expected in one who was
3ndeavoring to relieve the sufferings
it his troops at Valley Forge and else
where but was unable to do so He
was always dignified and his subordi
nate approached him with deference
General said Goddard handing
him a letter I received this last night
from Elizabeth town It is from Mis
tress Ruth Grosvenor Will your ex
cellency be pleased to read it
The general took the note unfolded
it and read the few words It contained
Mistress Ruth Grosvenor presents her
compliments to Lieutenant Edwin God
dard and beg3 that ho will favor her with
a visit at his earliest opportunity
The generals brows lowered I pre
sume he said coldly that you desire
a leave to make this visit I am as
tonished sir that you should be on
such friendly terms with those whom I
know to be arrant Tories
That her father ir a Tory I will not
deny general but Mistress Ruth God
dard is an ardent patriot
Has she any object in meeting you
that concerns our cause
I think she has general Before
this she has given me information that
I have transmitted to your excellency
anonymously Yet I am not sure that
this is now her object I confess to
you general that I am a suitor for her
hand Furthermore the officer in com
mand of the British troops in the vicin
ity of Ellzabethtown is also a suitor
for her hand and her father desires
that she shall accept him
All the world loves a lover and the
stern expression on Washingtons face
faded for a gentler one
You propose to go to Ellzabethtown
in citizens dress he asked
I do
It may be excusable for risking the
life of one of my officers attempting
- Vi OorS
LEAVE ME SHE SAID
to gain information of the cnmey but
not that he may visit the lady of his
love
Then let us assume general that
Mistress Goddard has information for
me
The general thought a moment then
said Go to Captain Hamilton and
tell him to grant you a leave of ab
sence and furnish you with the nec
essary pass
With this the general turned to his
desk loaded with requests not to say
pleadings from many quarters beg
ging for food clothing ammunition
medicines indeed just those articles
which he was the least able to supply
That same evening a young man in
the clothing of a farmer a basket on
his arm entered the grounds surround
ing the Grosvenor home at Elizabeth
town and rapped with the brass knock
er A negro woman opened the door
and the young man asked her to say
to Mistress Ruth that Abel Barton a
farmer had come to ask if ho might
Bell her some eggs and poultry This
brought Ruth who suspected the farm
er to be Lieutenant Goddard Though
she recognized him at once she did
not betray the fact before the negress
She inquired the price of his wares
and arguing with him till the woman
had withdrawn then beckoned him
into the living room Once there she
closed the door and said hurriedly
Fortunately father has gone to a
secret conclave of Tories Mother is
upstairs with the children though she
Is on my side so far as you are con
cerned and there is no danger from
fgs
her Major Tarrant who Is still de
voted to me has given me some im
portant information regarding the
number and distribution of British
troops in New Jersey I have taken
notes of what he has told me in dif
ferent conversations I have had with
him and you will find them on this
bit of paper
She placed it in his hand and he
had only time to put it under the lin
ing of his hat when there was a rap
on the outer door
Great heavens cried the girl turn
ing pale Suppose it should be Major
Tarrant
Casting about for a hiding place she
noticed the clock standing by the wall
Running to it she opened the door
exposing its weights and the pendu
lum swinging back and forth God
dard knew intuitively what she wish
ed him to do and with difficulty
squeezed himself into it Fortunate
ly he was slenderly made for the
clock though long was narrow Ruth
had no sooner closed the clock than
the door of the room was opened by
the negro servant and Major Tarrant
entered
Why Mistress Grosvenor he ex
claimed Where has that becoming
color of yours gone And you are
breathing as though you had been run
ning a race
She made a plea of Indisposition tc
account for her appearance and invlt
ed the major to be seated
I have today received orders from
General Howe he said to inarch
my command to Trenton I have
come for the last time before my de
parture to ask you if you cannot give
me a favorable answer to my suit
You know that I love you and that
when this cursed rebellion is over I
would gladly take you back to Eng
land with me as my wife Come Ruth
be kind to me
He attempted to take her hand but
she drew it away
Goddard almost smothered in the
clock was forced to listen to this
avowal though it troubled him to be
an eavesdropper Indeed cramped as
he was and irritated at being placed
In such a position he could not re
strain a movement This swung a
weight against the side of the clock
The major turned and looked at the
clock in surprise Ruth by a great
effort retained her equanimity
Those horrid mice she exclaimed
They are all over the house They
have gnawed a hole in the bottom of
the clock and are making a home
there
I see the clock has stopped the
major remarked thoughtuilly
That is because Idontdareto wind
it I confess I have a womans dread
of a mouse
Fortunately Major Tarrant was too
intent on his suit to take an interest
in the clock and Ruth was relieved
when lie repeated his request to give
him an answer and a favorable one
to his suit For an hour young God
dard was obliged to maintain a con
strained position listening to the of
ficers pleading At times it seemed to
him impossible to repress another
movement But both the weights and
the pendulum hung loose He remem
bered how Ruth had saved him on his
first movement and dreaded that she
might not be able to do so again On
his person were the memoranda In
Ruths handwriting If he were caught
with these he would swing from tbe end
of a rope and no one could tell what
m
Too Precious
Makers to his majesty and im
ported are words that carry much
weight to many minds It Is strange
what a glory a foreign label can cast
upon a commonplace article The fact
of a commodity having crossed the wa
ter however is not taken quite so se
riously today as it was some fifty or
sixty years ago M C D Silsbee
gives an instance in her A Half Cen
tury In Salem
Miss Ann M Rust was one of the
two milliners She had a large collec
tion of finery shelves full of handsome
ribbons and glass showcases of rich
embroideries besides the Inevitable
bonnets Once she imported a quan
tity of exquisite French caps The
strings were somewhat crushed in the
transit across the ocean The caps
were quickly disposed of An aunt
bought one and Miss Rust innocently
observed that a warm iron would
make the creases all right
What indignantly exclaimed the
aunt Smooth a crease made in Paris
No indeed never
A Famous English Clock
Wells cathedral contains one of the
most interesting clocks in the whole
world It was constructed by Peter
Lightfoot a monk in 1320 and em
braces many devices which testify to
the ancient horologists ingenuity
Several celestial and terrestrinl bodies
are incorporated In the interesting
movement and relationship They in
dicate the hours of the day the age
of the moon ami the position of the
planets and the tides When the clock
strikes the hour two companies of
horsemen fully armed dash out of
gateways in opposite directions and
charge vigorously They strike with
their lances as they pass as many
times as correspond with the number
of the hour A little distance away
seated on a high perch is a quaint
figure which kicks the quarters on
two bells placed beneath his feet and
strikes the hours on a bell The dial
of the clock is divided into twenty
four hours and shows the phases of
the moon and a map of the universe

the girl wlio had given him the in- j pretended to try to force it open with
formation llIs ieft The Englishman And he
But maintaining one position for a WCnt through the same performance
long while is well nigh impossible for opening the hand at the end after an
any person and Goddard was of a apparent struggle The Irishman
nervous temperament Tired of bear- i And he held out his hand wide open
ing his weight on his right foot he at- with the palm upward The French
tempted to change it to his left In man And he made a motion with
doing so he joggled the pendulum both hands as if he were emptying
There is certainly something wrong them on the table
with that clock said the major Im There was not a word of explana
going to see what it is tion but all understood thoroughly and
Ruth considering her lover lost fell had a hearty laugh
in a swoon It was the best thing she
could have doue Tarrant forgot the
clock in her Lifting her he placed
her on a sofa and ran out of the
room for water to sprinkle In her
face Goddard hearing the commo
tion opened the clock door looked
out saw his sweetheart lying uncon
scious and was about to free himself
from his prison to go to her when he
heard footsteps and closing the door
remained where he was Tarrant re
turned and sprinkled water iu Ruths
face But she had revived immedi
ately and did not need it Neverthe
less she remained immovable with
closed lids till she bad made up her
mind what to do
Leave me she said to Tarrant
when she opened her eyes I should
have bean in bed this evening Call
the servant then go away at once
Come tomorrow and I will give you
my answer If I am able to see you
I will give it verbally if not I will
write it
But this illness Tarrant exclaim
ed anxiously
Tis nothing merely a weak heart
I think that by tomorrow morning I
shall ho as well as ever
The major left her with hope beat
ing high in his heart
The next afternoon a farmer called
at Washingtons headquarters and
asked to see the general Captain
Hamilton was sent to see what he
wanted Recognizing Goddard be
took him into Washingtons office and
the farmer gave him the memoranda
he had brought with him
This is very Important exclaimed
the general becoming absorbed in the
paper but presently looking up he
added Captain Hamilton see that
Lieutenant Goddard receives a com
mission as captain
Major Tarrants answer was No
for Ruth Grosvenor had been married
at midnight by a patriot dominie to
Edwin Goddard before hfi atoe away
to Morristown
A Good Shot
A sportsman of great imaginative
gifts and fond of telling his exploits
related that at one shot he had
brought down two partridges and a
hare His explanation was that al
though he bad only hit one partridge
the bird in falling had clutched at
another partridge and brought that to
earth entangled in its claws
But how about the hare be was
asked
Oh was the calm reply my gun
kicked and knocked me backward
and I fell on the hare as it ran past
