FOUGHT A LION WITH HIS Fist
An English missionary in Africa was
sitting in his tent door when he saw
party of natives approaching. They
were bringing to him boy whose
head was covered with piece of cali
co, on removing which the missionary
saw two deep furrows, one on each
side of his scalp. The wounds had
been made by lion a few evening be.
fore. The boy had been brought to
the Englishman for treatment, and
while he, did what he could for the
sufferer, the men related what the
missionary calls "as curious lion ad-
venture as have ever heard"
The party were on their way to the
coast, and at night had made fires and
lain down to sleep. Suddenly they
were awakened by the deep growls of
lion. 1t had leaped among them, and
had already seized a boy, whose
screams mingled with the horrid
growls of his captor.
The men ran this way and that in
their terror, each thinking OF his own
safety. Not 80 the boys father. He
was big and strong, and, besides, it
was his child who was screaming. He
had no time to snatch up 40 much as
a spear, but went straight at the lion,
and struck it again and again full in
its face with his clinched fist, all the
while uttering fierce cries of anger.
The lion was cowed it relinquished
its hold of the boy, and sprang away
into the darkness, leaving the father
with his bleeding son in his arms.
The scattered company came TO-
gether again, replenished the fires and
took care of the lads wounds as best
they could. Now they had brought
him to the missionary, who washed
his wounds with carbolic acid and
water, and bound them up. The pa
tient was doing we'll when the mis-
sionary last saw him, more than a
week later.

HOW TIE DOCTOR GOT EVEN.

If prominent physician over in the
northwest hasn't got even with one
practical joker, then it doesn't lie in
the telling. The physician lives in a
very modern establishment. Not only
is there special night-bell, but speak
ing tube connects the doorstep with the
head of his bed. The practical Joker
has had fun with this. He has been
coming along at 1:30 a. m, and stand
ing on the opposite corner, and laugh.
ing until his sides ached, thinking how
funny he was, and what good time
he was having. Then he would cross
over and ring the nightbell, and howl
up the speaking tube as if q whole reg
iment of mothers-in-law on the next
block had ten-minute cholera, and
were dying by the wagon load. And
the poor, tired doctor would rouse out
of his first sweet sleep, and "hello"
down the tube. Then the funny man
would say:
"Does DR.. J. live here9"
eyes"
"Have you lived here long?"
"For twenty years. Who are you
What the blazes do you want?"
"Jest want to know why you don't
move. That's all. Ta tai"
And then the funny man bounces
down into the streets and scoots home,
where he laughs for half an hour.
He didn't laugh half so much the
other night. The doctor was loaded
for him. He knew that laugh and that
veil, and he stuck funnel in the tube,
and poured in two quarts of aquafortis,
stafford's indelible ink, liquid lye, and
q few chemical whiffs of torment. 1t
gurgled and gurgled for one second,
and then struck Dofunny in the mug
Just as he opened his mouth for anoth-
er howl. 1t came with a thirty foot
fall, and ten pound pressure to the
square inch.
He swallowed pint before he could
get his mouth shut, and the impromptu
hose played away all over his face and
silk hat and shirt front and dress suit.
It was q roof raiser, aad curled him
like cockroach on hot shovel.
1t will cost the doctor forty dollars
for plumbing, but he grins every time
he thinks oft.

Dear Sir-In reply to your inquiry will
say my wife is delighted with the effects
of the Electropoise, and has improved
very much from the treatment. The

powers; and eventually looks for per-
