The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-10-25

Being below on the plain with native
schoolmaster named Mabalwe, l saw
one of the lions sitting on piece of
rock within the ring. Mabalwe fired
at him and the ball hit the rock on
which the animal was sitting. He bit
at the spot struck, as dog does at a
stick or stone thrown at him; and
then leaping away broke through the
circle and escaped unhurt. If the Ba-
katla had acted according to the GUS
tom of the country, they would have
speared him in his attempt to get out,
but they were afraid to attack him.
When the circle was reformed we saw
two other lions in it, but dared not fire
lest we should shoot some of the peo-
pie. The beasts burst through the line,
and, as it was evident the men could not
be prevailed on to face their foes, we
bent our footsteps toward the village.
In going round the end of the hill l
saw a lion sitting on piece of rock
about thirty yards off, with little
bush in front of him. / took good
aim at him through the bush and fired
both barrels into it. The men called
out: He is shot, he is shot!' Others
cried: He has been shot by another
man, too; let us go to himl' saw the
lions tail erected in anger, and, turning
to the people, said: Stop little till
load again When in the act of ram
ming down the bullets heard shout,
and, looking half round, saw the lion

caughtme by the shoulder and we both

horribly, he shook me as terrier dog

por similar to that which seems to be
felt by a mouse after the first grip of
the cat. 1t caused sort of dreami-
ness, in which there was no sense of
pain nor feeling of terror, though /
was quite conscious of all that was
happening. 1t was like what patients
partially under the influence of chloro-
form describe-they see the operation,
but do not feel the knife. This placidi-

One of the most famous encounters
with lion, from which the chief
actor escaped and was able to relate
full particulars, is that recorded in the
life Of DR.. Livingstone. II meant" he
says, "to have kept it to tell my children
in my dotage," but friends considered
it so marvellous that he was persuaded
to relate it in his first book. The
testimony of such man is far more
valuable than accounts of the average
sportsman. 1t is as follows:
"The Bakatla of the village of Ma
botsa were troubled by lions, which
leaped into the cattle pens by night
and destroyed their cows. They even
attacked the herds in open day. This
was SO unusual an occurrence that the
people believed themselves to be be-

power of the lions by the neighborhood

animals, but being rather cowardly

in general, they returned without slay-
ing any.

leave that part of the country. The
next time, however, the herds were at
tackled, went with the people to en-
courage them to rid themselves of the
annoyance by destroying one of the ma
RAIDERS. We found the animals on
small hill covered with trees. The
men formed round it in circle and
gradually closed up as they advanced.

WIN peOple Like lIogs.

And why do people keep such lots Of
to see other PEOPLES dogs? Because the
dog is at once the sincerest latter and
the most successful cheerer that the
human race ever had. \ good dog al
ways gives us the feeling that we men
and women are a sort of gods. No
other animal does anything of the kind.
The cat treats us as an inferior, and
the horse will treat us as dear friend
not divinity. The dog, moreover i'm
parts something of his peculiar gayety
to us in away that is irresistible He
mingles his suggestions of gayety with
his flattery, for he not only leaves his
dinner untasted TO walk with us, but
the mere fact that we are apparently
giving ourselves the pleasure of walk
raises him INTO such deliriUn of delight
that the sight OF 1t puts all our dumps
and blues to such reproach that we shake
them off III very shame. And where we
don't walk, bnt sit mOodily at home, the
dog curls up lovingly at our feet and
looks up now and then into our eyes and
'glides into our darker musings with u
mild and healing sympathy Yes, there
is solid reason for the fondness OF man
for dogs, and it will never come to an
end until either man or dogs become
very different beings from what they are

Conversations with number of bust
ness men in this city have developed
the fact that there is demand for arc
lights for interior use and that the arc
light plant is not now so conducted
that the service is practicable for in
terror purposes because on moonlight
nights the arc light circuit is not started
at ALL We believe that the electric
light plant, with a little agitation of the
matter would be able to find a profitable
market among the retail merchants of
this city for the arc light circuit if it
could be run SO as to be used regularly
every night regardless of street lighting.
Merchants would be glad to get this
service because III many stores a more
brilliant light than can be had from the
inCandescent circuit is desirable.

Frank McKlnney's team stirred
things up lively on south Michigan
street about five o'clock Friday evening
Frank had been IN the country and was
returning at good clip. When near
the Jas. Gilmore property a tug slipped
off and gave just slack enough SO that
the pole slipped from the loop and drop
ped to the ground. This frightened
the team SO thai they started to run and
realizing that his neck was IN danger
he reined them over to the side of the
street and jumped. Just at that NOM
ent the buggy turned clean over and
the double tree broke freeing the team.
They took course across the street
landing against the stone wall with
such force that one of them was thrown
clear up on the sward. A crowd had
congregated by this time and the team
was captured. There was considerable
damage done and the team received a
few scratches. Frank escaped with only
few bruises.
