be greatly surprised.
A handsome black 11-weeks- old colt
was shown by F. G. Hanlcy of Pittston.
This colt was shown with it's mother
and the horsemcn were more than
pleased with it. The colt as it trotted
into the grounds, showed gait which
was equal to a 3-minutc clip.

attention was the 2-ycar-old stallion

by tEdileS I lSdll ana was as pretty

Close to the wagon We met a bushwonlan,
one OF fndowyokas people. reduced by
starvation to the most emacia ted and pit
liable condition. Her husband had been
killed by lions some days before though
she herself had escaped with her life. On
her back and shoulders were the marks
where the same lion had ripped away great
strips of flesh. Long c,ots of blood had
dried on her body: the wounds had not
even been washed. L gave her some meat,
which she seized upon and at once ate
ravenously. The bones were almost through
her filthy skin: her little beady eyes set
close together under a low, retreatins fore
head, her fiattened nose and large protrud-
ing lips. concealng what little chin she
possessed, gave her a look most uncanv
and repellant.
Altogether more like an animal than n
human being, she seemed to Inc the loves
type OF womankind that it has ever been
my fate to look on. There are mum bers of
bushmen and their wives who live in this
miserable condition, wandering through the
veldt with no other means of subsistence
than such trash as wild roots and berries.
Some of the men have guns and anluuni-
uon, and they spend their whole time in
shooting. When they kill a buck within
reach of water-Say ten miles-the whole
family cofIgregates on the spot sits Round
the body. and gorges itself until every
scrap of flesh and skin has disappeared.

tubs Of butter and requested Mr.. Nitric -
