advance on h forward trail. To check
mate this trickery, the white hunter end
bia shikaris Into the treetopn. The native
from their elevation trace the deceptive
course of the buffalo by watching the
bending of the bush, and report from time
to time the position of the beaat, ao that
the hunter Is prepared when the animal
breaks cover. The charge of the buffalo
la like a thunderbolt, and a luna-e from Its
horn la nearly always fatal, even If the
hunter Is rescued before belns trampled
to death. The deception practiced by the
buffalo la attributed to an Instinct which
tells the animal that It la quite volnerable
to a bullet.
The rhinoceros Is dreaded because no
hunter knows when and where he will
find the animal. Its habit of secluding It
self In unsuspected haunts makes It the
nightmare of the hunter. Not able to see
beyond a few feet, its attack Is guided by
Its sense of smell and aided by remarkably
acuta hearing.
Two Kinds of Lions.
There is a distinction In Africa between
ordinary llona and "man-esters." The
ordinary lion does not wilfully attack man.
The presence of lions ronmlng at night on
the veldt Is not disturbing to any natlvs
nor to whites who have come to under
stand the btaat. Persons returning to their
camps after nightfall do not notice 'he
roaring of lions or the cries of leopards
and hyenas. It Is seldom that people bent
upon domestic errands carry weapons In
the darkness, although at night the veldt
of British East Africa Is alive with roam
ing beasts, which may be heard from the
verandas of the houses. Lions give the
passing man a wide berth, day or night,
when it is apparent that he means no mis
chief. An ordinary lion, even when
wounded, will try flight before fight. When
Its escape is disputed, It wilt, especially If
wounded, try to maul Its enemy with teeth
and claws. A lion hunt Is usually a chaso
In which the hunters goad the game Into
combat. Once a lion has tasted human
blood, however, it is no mora afraid of
man, but learns that he is the weakest of
animals and the choicest of meat. Such a
Hon Is known as a man-eater because now
he hunts man.
The wild dogs of Africa are mors feared
by the natives than any other beasts, for
while they are not to be dignified by the
term of game, they run in packs and seem
to know that the native is afraid of them.
Native burden-bearers will often take their
chances In passing around a buffalo herd
and will hardly notice a Hon, but when
they hear the howl of the wild dogs they
drop whatever they may be balancing on
their heads and take to the trees. There
they are frequently held captive until their
cries summon assistance. Crossing the trail
of large game, these dogs often Interfere
with the pursuit; At a distance the hunter
Is likely to mistake them for leopards or
some of the smaller game. Intense disgust
follows the wounding of a wild dog, for
then, according to the ethics of the chase,
the true sportsman must pursue and kill
the beast. These dogs are not degenerates,
but are natural mongrels. They have low
bodies covered with hair of coach dog
growth, bushy tails and powerful Jaws.

Elements of Danger.
The elements of danger In Afrjcan hunt
ing are a revelation to an American sports
man. African game Is placed In this ratio
of risk; 1, buffalo; 2, rhinoceros; 3, lion,
The buffalo is feared because, as the nun
ter asserts, the beast "does not play the
game fairly." It is considered the most
vicious and cunning of all African game

take malicious satisfaction in killing man

Is to lure its enemy Into the bush, which

When Rev. Dr. Corky cf Londonderry,

are performing a similar Christian service.
One of the best and mort beloved men
In the Baptist denomination, Rev. Dr. H.
Q. Weston, of Crosier Theological semin
ary, has iust died at the age of 83 years.
Since 1888 he had ben connected with this
middle states training school for tin
clergy, exerting an irenical Influence when
theological disputations arose, and shaping
ministerial ideuls by his beauty of charac
ter and high example.
There Is much satisfaction among the
alumni of Union university, Schenectndy,
N. Y.. over the recent election of the Rev.
Dr. Charles A. Richmond as president of
that noted institution of learning. l)r
Richmond has for the last fifteen years
been Dastor of the Madison Avenue Presby

Pupils of the Omaha High School Shine in Latin Play
Some of the students of the High sohool Bcaena Secunda Nuptlae
ar talking Latin since the recent prepera-
I Bcaena Tertia DeOuctlo
tlon and production of a Latin play. The wmu reraonae.
plan of giving a play to shpw the llfo and Bponsa Tulla
customs of the ancient Romans was d
vised by Miss Susan Paxson, one of the
Uilln teachers, several years ago, and the
fruits of her steadfast and earnest en
deavors Are how being shown among the
members of the present Junior and senior
. classes.
The realisation of the fact that Latin
win once a spoken language and is now
highly valuable, at least indirectly, has
rssulled from the work of the students on
:he two original plays Miss Paxson has
:omposed, and their added Interest In and
familiarity with tho language Is demon
strated by the fact that they are even
carrying on Uule conversations In the once
hated language that was considered at that
llir.e only a J rosy, despised and neglected
nuisance.
"Gallia est" has been almost forgotten
I'nce the advent of the Latin plays and the
High School Latin society, which gave
rise to them. No longer Is it supposed that
the stock in trado of the Latins was princi
pal parts, declensions, roots, derivations
and conjugations, or that that ancient and
cotable ace did nothing but conduct wars
and emit ( rations. A grest Insight Into the
daily life and history of the people baa
teen derived, and the instructors of the
language at tho High school even assert
that their pupils arc learning to think In
tht language,, so marked was the success
of the last play and the skill shown in
taking the various parts.
Perfect pronunciation, full and correct
costuming urd careful attention to details
are said to hive characterised the produc
tion, which was In charge of MUs Paxson,
who has been gathering the material and
writing the play (or two years. So many
Interested parents and friends of the stu
dents taking part In the play were unable,
to witness it last Wednesday, when it was
' given, that It is to be repvated again on
Monday afternoon of this wek.
"A Roman Wedding, 63 B. C." as the
play Is called. Ulls the story of the be-
' trothal and marriage of two young people
of prominent families In Rome at that
time. Incidentally, It brings out many
points about the customs and life of the
period that prove decidedly Interesting.
Following Is tha synopsis and cast of char
tctera as It was printed for distribution

Nellie Klgutter, Lunlr Burlsh, Irma
Gross, Philip Payne, Wilson Heller and
Fred Fernald In the principal roles, won
many merited congratulations and favorable
mentions from those who attended the
play. Their work showed deep study and
decided skill, both dramatically and as
concerned their acquaintance with the
language.
Another play, dealing with a dufferent
phase of Roman life, was written by Miss
Paxson four years ago and presented at
that time and again last year. It is called
"A Roman School" and Is regarded as a
valuable piece of work by educators
throughout the country. Wllllaju Lyman
Cowles, professor of Latin at Amherst col
lege, declares It ought to be played in
every high school once a year, and schools
aa far as Texas and California have bor
rowed It for presentation.
"With domestic science and other studies
that are easily prepared and more in
terestlng than Latin to the average stu
dent. It ' is becoming necessary to arouse
Interest in the study of Latin by other
than the regular means," explains Miss
Paxson In discussing her reason for writ
lng the plays. "When we demonstrate
that there is something more than forms
and translations In the study, we create
a growing Interest that benefits the pupil.'
A name not only for MUs Paxson, but
also for the Omaha Latin department and
the High school in general has been made
by the two plays and the other work of
the Latin society. The other teachers of
the society are Miss Snyder, Miss Peterson,
Miss Rooney and Miss Shields.
