FACING THE WILD MAN.
1--WE agreed that in case we met the wild
man face to face he was to fire and then
drop to the earth and give me a show
About three miles from camp, and as the
path assembled ridge, my companion
halted, pointed at broad tree on the left
and whispered, Master, do you see that
his house is there among the branches.'
II could make out platform of sticks
and branches, and now took the advance.
My weapons were a rifle and aprevolver.
We crept cautiously forward until right
under the platform, and after few seconds
both of us made out a black foot and leg
hanging down between the poles The
wild man was at home, but the next thing
was how to deal with him. l had more
fear OF his getting away than had of his
hurting us. finally posted myself to the
west, believing he would make for Il
thicket in that direction as soon as dis,
turbed, and at signal the young man
fired at the nest. The report of his gun
was followed by a most unearthly yell,
and it was yet ringing in my ears when
saw dark object dropping off the plat
form to the earth. 1t was the wild man
The young man stood where he had fred,
and before he could realize what was hap
pening the monster was upon him. He
was picked up and flung almost at my
feet, and as he landed he called to me: I
am not much hurt, masterl Be sure that
you kill him, for he is a terribly strong

On the contrary, he picked up n limb,
broke off a part Of it for club and slowly
advanced upon us, his eyes flashing, his
teeth gritting and his face expressing fury.
had my rifle to my face, and | let him
come within ten feet before fired He
was shot between the eyes, and he fell
back so dead that he never moved finger
When we came to examine him we got
frightened. His height was seven feet by
the tape line, and he seemed to be all

II haven't the least doubt that n slap
from his big right hand would have killed
any of us stone dead. He had tremendous
shoulders, with muscles punched up in IL
wonderful way, while his fingers were
long and the nails on them almost like
claws Hundreds of natives came to look
at the body, but none could remember OF
having seen the man before Freed from
his interference with our enterprise we
had no msre trouble, and during the next
sixty days we caught and dispatched to
the coast eleven as handsome lions as ever
roared with Indignation at being Gagged up
for the public to gaze upon"

awe had turned back and the last MAN

1--WE had turned back and the last man
had just fallen in line when heard shot
and a cry of alarm. The three natives
next behind fne lodged under my arm
and made off down the path, while the
others were Sc upset that it took me three
or four minutes to ascertain what had
happened. The wild man had been con
cealed behind a big tree near the path.
He leaped out and struck the last man o
blow with his club which killed him on
tho spot, and he was swinging his weapon
to hit the second man when the third
fired at him. The wild man bounded
into the brush and disappeared, but my
men were panic stricken.
"When l announced my intention next
morning to hunt him the whole gang Of
blacks broke into lamentations One
young man, however, said: 4 see, master,
that If we do not kill this thing he will kill
all of our lions and many of us. If we
move away he will probably follow. 1t is
our business to kill him at once. l am

AFR!CA'S GIANT WILD MAN.
The Fierce Savage Who Was Slain by a
Lion Hunter,

Lion Hunter.
Late in 1861 a fatal epidemic broke out
among the captive lions in all parts of the
world. 1t was very like the epi.ooty
which struck the horses five years later,
but nearly all the lions died, and so the
price rose 200 or 800 per cent. This excited
great activity among the famous lion
hunters of Quillimane, East Africa, who
usually capture the animals by the Gov.
cred pit method.
The agent of great Hamburg ANNA!
house penetrated to the main lion range
near Lake Nyassa, employed forty-tw ne
groes and had captured one lion and n few
inferior beasts when he discovered that
some mysterious creature was interfering
with his pits. One morning his men found
magnificent male lion dead in pit. An
parently he had been killed by a sharp
pointed stake, and there were huge tracks
about, somewhat like those of n gorilla.
II was satisfied" says the agent in his
report, that no one but man could make
use CT such pole. Indeed the fact of the
poles being hardened by fire was proof
sufficient that man was engaged in the
work. He must be a native of course, and he
must also he wild man. After holdin.

natives offered reward of ten dollars to

JOHN l, GIVEN A BENEFIT.
The E1-Champion Receives an Ovation
from q New York Audience.
He Spars Three Tame Rounds With
His Recent Conquerer-Corbctt Gets
His 100000.

New York, Sept. ia SPLEEN
did ovation was given John L. Sui
Ivan in Madison Square garden to-
night. Nine thousand men and
also about 800 woman lent them
selves to the occasion, and show
cred wild applause when the ex-
champion appeared in the ring to
wind up his benefit with a bout
with Jim Corbett, his victorious
opponent.
The applause as Sullivan's burlv
frame appeared was something aw-
full. AS Sullivan turned from right
to left, and bowed his head the
cheering grew wilder. Sullivan
folded his arms across his breast,
and turned his eyes toward the
roof to conceal the moisture that
dimmed them. Then Corbett
leaped over the ropes and fastened
to the center of the ring, took Sui
livan's bare hands in his gloved
ones and quiet was restored, and
then the ex-champion spoke briefly,
heartily thanking the people for
such a reception after his defeat.
He said he had nothing but praise
for Corbett, and if he continued in
the right path he could hold the
championship as many years as he
(Sullivan) did. He had no excuse
to make for his defeat, saying that
when defeated man makes excus-
es he makes the great mistake of
his life. Corbett also spoke a few
words, saying that he would try to
hold the championship as long as
Sullivan had.
Time was then called; if the
crowd expected any heavy hitting
it was disappointed, as the exhibit
ton consisted of three very tame
rounds. All sorts of advice was
shouted at Sullivan, such as "Give
him the right" "Now get in a good
one for revenge" but the ex.cham-
pion smiled sadly and continued
to exchange light blows. When
the man left the ring Sullivan was
surrounded by perfect mob, and
the big basket of flowers he carried
narrowly escaped destruction.
Sullivan may we'll be salts
fed with the reception, as it
not only showed him he
still had friends, but Melted him
a handsome profit. Corbett to-
night was given a reception at
the Tenderloin club, and Mark
Dryer turned over to him $4,000
stakes he won at New Orleans.

The First suspenders Girl.

lit was late in the winter of 1901
that suspenders were first displayed as a
part Of feminine costume in Philadel-
phia," said member of the local Four
Hundred at Cape May few days ago,
land had quite forgotten the incident
until this morning, when l read some
thing in a newspaper letter from Bar
Harbor about the girl who first displayed
the novelty.
'And where do You suppose she took
occasion to make the display Why, of
all the places-the assembly-and you
may well believe me that they created
not only mild sensation, but a good
deal of adverse comment. The sus-
penders were of rich yellow satin and
supported V shaped belt, also of satin,
and the rest of the costume was of black
tulle and gold braid. The girl was hand
some, with a splendid figure, and was
not a Philadelphian, although she often
visits here, where she has relatives high
in society. One thing alone prevented
we women from considering the cos
tune freak, and that was that the
girl had been stopping for two months
with one of the Vanderbilts in New
York, and it was therefore likely that
the idea had just come from Paris, No
one copied the idea that season, how
ever, nor have seen it applied to ball
dress since. philadelphia Record.

A Fishing Princess.

He was only twenty-five pounds, and i
feared he would go through the rapid
said, "You hold very hard; your cast
could bear no more" Our next fish was
26-pounder and the last 27-pounder.
We could have killed another, but the
midges were pretty plenty and we con-
cluded to quit. On our way to the barge
the princess said to me, IF you had
been with me all the time would have
made much large score about thirty,
and il l ever come again You must pro-
mise to go with me-"
/ then told her that the pool had no
name, and asked her permission to call
1t the Princess Louise pool, and SO 1t was
named. l must say that few anglers
could handle a fish with her highness.
She used heavy English 1S-foot rod,
and her strong right arm (after the fish
had got his second run over) would lift
his head clear Of the water.

tutors. Her special subject is arch@-
ology, and her purpose is to lecture on
classical and archaeological subjects.
The examination in which she has OBJ
