A BATTLE BETWEEN Two LIONS
Thrilling EIperisnss Of Traveller In an
Indian Jungle.


Thrilling Experiences OF Traveller In an
Indian Jungle.
It was the good fortune Of Maccof
voy and myself to witness a conhics
between two lions, says traveller in
India. We were accompanied in this
instance by my native servant, lsilla,
and took up our quarters in light
scafFolding in the branches Of a tall
tree that oyerhnnga waterproof much
Irequented by the afiitnals Of that vi
entity.
was beginning to feel slSeps and
10 nod frequently when the roar OF q
lion close at hand broke the silence,
Instantly we were wide awake and
grasping our guns neryouSly. In an
other instant the roar was answered
from a spot below us, and looking
down we saw liOness crouching at
The foot OF tree. Her head was
embedded between her forepaws, and
her long tail waved luxurluusly to and
fro. Another wool from the Uppo'
site direction, and two magnificent
males stepped into view while the
iioness continued to purf and Ways
that graceful tail from side to side.
And there she lay purring gently
while as terrific a combat ensued as
the eye OF man ever witnessed and
words cannot paint the picture nor
describe that combat. Over and
over the two males rolled after meet
Ing in mid-leap with their fangs at
each others Threats, while the sick
cning sound Of champing bones filled
the air, mingled with their frantic
roaring and the thrashing Of their
bodies through the whirling sand.
BY this time my nerves were so
wrought up that | could stand the
terrific spectacle no longer, and TAKE
ing deliberate aim at the lloness be-
hind her shoulder blade, let ny.
bove the rumble of my smooth bore
sounded the shrek OF the liOness as
The heavy ball crashed into her vitals.
The two duelsts at once ceased their
encounter, and as one Of them turned,
he received Macs rifle ball In the hal
low over the eye, and death was In
Simultaneous. The other male with a
mighty roar and a powerful spring
landed halfway up the trunk Of our
tree, nearly shaking us from our
perch; but Isilla discharged a spare
gun in his face; he fell back, and,
probably only grazed by the shot, dis.
appeared into the darkness toward
where the means and cries OF tho
lioness grew fainter and fainter every
moment.
In the morning with party OF
Arabs and dogs we took up the spoor
and tracked the lioness to her lair,
and after she had received eleven
more OF our bullets, killed and dis
sbled four of our dogs and made Ave.
determined rushes, succeeded IN MAXI
ing her bite the dust. She had trav-,
eled nine miles before we caught up
to her, and kept brave front to the
last.

They might be called, for the pur-I
pose of distinguishing them, Fighter
No. l, Fighter No, and the Peace

Fighter No. thought that Fighter

Fighter No thought that Fighter

The Peacemaker thought that both
lighters were getting excited.
Fighter No. thought it was none
Of the Peacemaker's business.
Fighter No. thought he could
take care of himself without any help.I
The Peacemaker thought they were
both making fools of themselves.
Fighter No. thought it was free
country.
Fighter No . thought he didn't
need q guardian.
The Peacemaker thought there
wasn't going to be any fight If he
could help it.
Fighter No. thought the Peace
maker ought to go off in some quiep
corner and kick himself.
The Peacemaker thought he ought
to kick Fighter No !.
Fighter No. , thought that if that
were to be done at all he had a first
claim to the job and he didn't want
it taken OF Of his hands
The Peacemaker thought Fighter

and had his wife bandage his wounds.

lie Threw Local Terror Through a Mil
window In Tennessee.
The resignation of Senator Reagan,
Of Texas, recalls a story of how he
CHANGED to remove to the State that
Is now his home, and which has so
slgnally honored him. He was living
In Sewer County, Tennessee, in 1899,
ana was sent by his father to a grist
mill to have d sack Of wheat convert
cd into -four. He was big, raw
boned, strapping country boy.
According to custom, he hitched
his horse at the mill, took the sack OF
grain from the shoulders Of the ami
mall placed It on his own shoulders
and toted it up three f1ights Of stairs,
and took his place in the line, as pe07
pie are wont to do still at country
postoflces, waiting for his turn to
have his wheat ground. Half an
hour or SO after Reagan arrived at
the mill a well-known local character
came, bringing a sack Of wheat to be
ground also. This last character was
local terror, fond of brawls and
fighting, and In the habit Of having
his own way.
He had to take his place in line
with the rest, but when it got to DO
Reagan's turn TO have his grain
ground "the terror said;
"See here Reagan, am in hurry,
You let me get in your place and you
come back here where ! am"
Reagan det1urred, stating that he
was in hurry, too; that he was en-
titled to his place, and meant to
keep it. This angered the brawlef.
He cursed young Reagan, and said
he would fling him out through the
window, and, suiting the action to
the word, made rush for the future
statesman. Reagan, like all the rest
of the people in the neighborhood,
was more or less terforiZed bv the
desperate, and, in fear of his life,
rushed for him, met the desperate
half way, butted him In the stomach
with his head, and literally lifted him
off his feet and threw him through
the window.
When the desperate disappeared
through the window the consequence
Of his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind. He instantly supposed that
he had killed man, that he would
be hanged for it, and, scared almost
TO death, he rushed down stairs I'M
hitched his horses, and lit out across
the country for Texas. The man was
not killed, but got a bad shaking up.
lie soon moved to Texas, and was
friend of Ra2ran in after life.

A theft has just been brought homo
TO a man by means Of an egg. Some
days ago NJ. Douet, pottery manufact-
nrer, living in the Rue Goudon, Paris,
was disagreeably surprised on return
ing from the theater with his family
10 find that his house had been ran
sacked, almost all the furniture de-
stroyed and a sum SCOOP. in gold and
notes stolen The next morning he
put NJ. Siadoux, COmmissary Of Police,
I'm possession Of these facts, who there
upon proceeded to the spot and opened
an inquiry In the course of his
search he found a broken egg, from
which the white only appeared to
have been sucked. He brought the
circumstance to the notice Of NJ.
IDouet, who then remembered that a
carter named Delbars whom he had
dismissed for dirty habits, was ac-
customed 10 eat eggs in that way.
They arrested him along with his
brother. When questioned as to how
they had spent their time on the
night of the robbery, they were en-
barrassed. and finally confessed that
they had broken into NJ. Douet's house
for motives Of revenge Gallgnani

A wfiter draws a comparison be-
tween Hatnil'al, the famos Cartha-
glnian general, and ths lste William
Tecumseh Sherman. The two fneH
had the same sort Of temperament,
and, il we may trust the ancient de-
stffbti5ns, they resembled one an
other In pfrs'esI stature not less than
I'm the thoroughnCss ~ their military
education. Hannibal NSs Che first
man to depart from the battle taettcs
which were the method of lighting
adopted by Alexander. He had
methods Of his own, and his success,
Until the Romans had learned from
him how 10 use his own weapons, was
due to the saIfie qualities which dis
tinguished the military services OF
Gen. Sherman. He gained his FIRST
and last victories by the use of STRAIT
egy. ~ did the unexpected thing.
All his career yes She doing Of things
that nobody else did, ahd throughout
the late civil war Gen. Siberian was
the man who constantly improved
upon military rules by methods of his
own. The passage Of the Alps by
Hannibal was not more wonderful in
his day than the operations which
Sherman plahned and executed in his
march TO Chattauoogs, and his glgan-
tic conception of al Invasion of Italy
has its parallel in Gen. sherman's
plan of the march TO the sea and the
support Of his army 10y levying con-
tribulions upon the people through
whose homes he was passing. The
American general did not stay for
sixteen years in tie country Of his
enemies, as Hannibal did, and COM
pei subjugated provinces to support
him, but he could have done it as
easily as the Carthaginian did If the
same occasion had existed. There
was in our Sherman the same insight
into The conditions OF war, the same
comprehension Of the vital point at
issue, the same swift reading Of men,
the same power of control, and the
same ability to keep his own counsel.
