John Sherman Unhappy.
\. II. LIVINGSTON

For years John Sherman has ruled
the Senate with rod of iron upon all
financial propositions. 1t was Il bold
man who cared to cross swords with
him, because it was counting certain
defeat. Senator Sherman could count
on his own party and eastern Democ-
racy, together with the administration
and the money power Taken to-
gether, it was a combination that up
to the present time has proven irwin
chile Southern and Western DEMO
Gratis were, as now, of the cowardly
p,e-hunting kind, who meekly sub
mitted to the authocratic rule of the
eastern wing CT that party, and were
satisfied with few bones and crumbs
in the shape of postotfices and revenue
colectorship. Everything was pro
crossing smoothly until, by some
providential mischance, Senator PET
fer End Kyle walked in among them.
These two senators destroyed the
monotony Of the proceedings, much
to the annoyance and discomforturc
of the ruling interest Of that moss
covered aggregation.
Both Senators PETER and Kyle are
worthy Of great credit for their fear
lcssness and perslstancy IN defending
the ''hersy of Populism' and attacking
the long standing Senitoral combina-
ton.
In the midst of their contest an i'm
portant reinforcement came upon the
scene, in the person of Senator Allen
of Nebraska. He stalked into the
arena like some giant of old, and
bodily declared himself ready for the
battle. He brought with him the
knowledge of trained lawyer and
ripe experience of a judge Of an i'm
portant court. Because of this John
Sherman is unhappy. \ few DAYS
since Senator Allen delivered Il speecl,
against the bohd issue. 1t was !,
purely legal argument and one that
plutocracy could not permit to remain
unanswered. Senator Sherman vas
selected to demolish the arguments
Of Senator Allen, which he under
took in an elaborate speech. At the
next session of the Senate Senator
Allen replied, and herein lies John
Sherman's unhappiness. When Sena-
ter Allen was through, he had torn
Senator Sherman's speech into shreds
knocked out Senator Allison, and de-
mOnstrated to the Senate and country
that the Populists were represented
by one of the soundest lawyers in
Congress. 1t will be some time be.
John Sherman toys with the big Sen.
ator from Nebraska again. In the
meantime the Populist are jabilan'
and making calculations TO send fresl
reinforcements to aid those alread,

light when compared with former years,
at this season. These facts are con-
flrmed by the stage drivers and others
who have occasion to travel between

weapon of destruction and kept the
white mans life safe. But as for the
wretched natives, armed with print
tive bow and spear, they could effect
very little against the savage animals
of the wilderness, and it was no I'M
common thing to hear of men, women
and children being caught and eaten,
not only by lions, but by panthers and
leopards also. Wolves have been
known to boldly enter native kraals
and take off children.
When the sun was well overhead /
had the oxen attended to, and then
made ready for inspanning, as ] did
not wish to spend another night in so
undesirable locality. Before dismiss
ing my bushmen guests gave them
some fresh meat, tobacco and few
beads, which greatly delighted them.
Klaas was profuse in his thanks, and
as | had taken a fancy to the man, |
asked him if he would like to enter my
service. "Ah, Boss. L should like to be
with the white man again" he an
swered. 81 can leave my people, whom
you have saved from the lions, but |
cannot leave my wife and young
daughter"
"They can come too" L replied.
''You yourself will be useful, for. be-
ing a good shot, you can help to keep
up a fresh supply of meat.
So it was arranged, and we quietly
inspanned and commenced a long
track southwark to the Brinus noun
tains. whilst the bushmen turned their
faces northward in search of we'll
watered camping ground.

drizzling rain was falling at the time.
I'm less time than it takes to think
about it this bolt had reached the Cuff
hotel. Sitting and standing on the
steps that lead up to the hall and the
porch at the foot were congregated a
party consisting of Miss Lillian Cuff,
Miss Edith Wilson, Miss Maud Brack-
en-, Miss Ella Fisher, Miss Mollie Cuff,
the latter holding Mrs. Willard Smiths
baby in her arms. Mr.. Ed Beaubien
was also with the party. Miss Maud
Bracken was leaning against the rail
ing to the stairway, and the current of
electricity came down the railing and
she received the full charge. She fell
as if dead, striking against Miss Ella
Fisher and communicating the shock
to her. The report was like that of a
pistol, and for a few moments those
present thought a gun had been dis
charged in their midst. Miss Bracken
was completely paralyZed by the shock
and lay like one dead, and Miss Fisher
soon sank in a swoon. Both young la
dies are now doing well. = Coalville

ENCIRCLED BY HUNGRY LIONS
a TALE OF THE AFRICAN DESERT.

I answered, huskily. Your good mas
ter died of dysentery rather more than
two years ago"
This announcement produced long
and painful silence, and | could per
ceive by the fliskering light of the fire
that Klaas's affection for the noble eX-
plorer was not mere pretense. Honor
ing this emotion, so rare in bushman,
I refrained from speaking. But the op-
pressive gloom was suddenly dispelled
by other sounds than those of the hui
man voice.
THE FIRST THREAT.
From out of dense mass of bush at
no great distance. there burst forth
low, vibratory sound which quickly rose
to a loud roar. There was no mistak-
ing the challenge of the king of the for
est. and scarcely had its echoes died
away when it was answered defiantly
from another quarter. The two were
evidently rivals, and anxious to settle
their claims for the possession of a
Honess whose fatal beauty had en-
SHARED two male hearts at the same
time. The roars became louder and
fiercer every moment, and from the di-
rection Of the sound / speedily became
disagreeably awake to the fact that
these dangerous enemies were moving
toward my wagon.
Now, L was well aware that lions in
variably follow the game as the latter
migrate from place to place. in search
