Cyclists Novel Method of Escaping
from a Lion.

The novel method adopted by an
English bicyclist in Africa, Rev. A. B.
Lloyd, to escape from a lion, is thus
narrated:
One morning Mr.. Lloyd started on
his wheel for a village a few miles
from the mission station. He took
the main road to Uganda, which was
a good thoroughfare about five feet
wide. After climbing a long hill he
came to the descent on the other side,
a long, gentle slope, where he knew
the road was smooth.
Up went his feet on the coasters,
and away he flew down the hill, going
faster every minute. Near the bot
tom Of the hill was a turn. On ap-
preaching this, he again put his feet
to the pedals.
AS he rounded the curve a terrible
sight burst upon him. In the middle
OF the narrow path lay a full-grown
lion, its head down upon its paws,
facing up the hill.
Mr, Lloyd could not stop, or if he
did stop, it would be in the very jaws
Of the king of the forest. To the left
was a wall Of rock 20 feet high, and to
the right a steep embankment with q
river a hundred feet below. Escape
seemed impossible.
Suddenly he remembered that the
wild men he had met were Away;
afraid Of his bicycle. Perhaps a wild
beast might be affected in the same
way, Therefore, he did the only
thing he could do. Releasing hi
check on the wheel, ringing his bell
and shouting with all the power of hi
lungs, he forced the bicycle at its bes'
speed directly toward the couchan'
lion.
The beast raised its head. Then
seeing this unearthly creature, will

Fable of the Small Bird.

Once upon a time there was a bantam
rooster with an immense opinion of him
self, and as he stood in the barnyard he
said:
II will make a stir in the world. I will
attract attention."
Wherefore he began to crow Justify, al
though he had nothing much to crow
about.
Now it happened that far above the ban
tam a hawk was wheeling in the circum-
ambient air. The hawk had not seen the
bantam, owing to the %latter's diminutive
proportions, but when the bantam crowed
the hawk heard and in about 43 seconds
had his claws full and was contentedly
winging his flight homeward, while all was
still below.

Two Clubs Cling to the Top in
the National League.
Philadelphia and Brooklyn Can
not Be Shaken Of.
BOSTON CLIMBING UP.
st. Louis is the Disappointment
of the Season.
But the Club Has Had the Worst
of Luck Lately.
BOSTON CLIMBING UP.

Philadelphia and Brooklyn have
shown thus far that, in playing strength
they are superior to the other six clubs
Of the National League. OF the two,
Philadelphia is entitled to a trifie more
credit. not because of any particular
display Of better baseball strategy, but
for the reason that the team. crippled
by the absence of it's second baseman,
one of the best of the National League
players, has fought plucki1y against
odds and held it's own.
OF the other league mines Boston GER
tainly deserves the most praise. At the
beginning of the year the former cham
pions played in a duh, hstless manner
that speedily put them at the bottom
and kept them there for more than
three weeks. With the advent of hot
weather and a return to the little 214
patch that answers for a ball park in
Boston, the team representing the Hub
buckled down to hard work, and, aided
by little luck. pushed its way steadily
toward the top until it is now in third
place.
The most disappointing of all the
league mines is St. Louis. The team,
however has fairly good excuse for
its poor position in the race owing to
the injuries received, not only by one,
but by four of the best men enrolled.
Constituted Of players who are not Only
individually strong, but who should
play good ball together. the St. Louis
nine was expected to finish at least
third in the race and appeared to have a
fair chance to fight for first place with
Brooklyn, Philadelphia or any other
nine that proved itself to be of class. St.
Louis has a chance to get back to the
top, but it will take the most persist
ent effort, and no small share of good
luck, in the face of the excellent work
being done by the other mines of the
league.
For at least SO hours it appeared as
If the New York nine had approached
something like consistent standard of
work. With Smith in right field and
three pitchers of at least average ability
the team played we'll against ST Louis
and even better against Philadelphia.
Then on its return home it played list
lessly against Boston and lost three
games, not by Indifferent field work but
by absolutely useless work with the bat
Possibly the New York air had a brac-
ing effect upon the Boston pitchers. In
any event they fooled the New York
batters so effeetually that there were
only six hits made by New York, which
mad any bearing upon the score in the
three games played.

The Irvine Plant at the Peni-
Tertiary Closed Down.
There Is Now $4,000 Worth
of Goods Stacked Away.
CASH SALES WANTED.
Farmers Could Buy Trust
Irvine ON Credit.
Said Not to Have Been as Good
an Article Either.

Leavenworth, June 28.-The peniten-
tiary Irvine plant has closed down and
will make no more Irvine.
There are two reasons for closing the
plant, and the main one is that a large
amount of Irvine remains unsold. There
is about 100000 pounds, or nearly $780,
900 WORTH of Irvine stacked up in the
warerooms. The second reason is that
the price of raw material is very high
at present and the chances are that it
will fall within a couple of months.
All wheat binding irvine made from
now on has to be carried over until next
season, and should the price of raw
material decrease the state would suffer
a loss by buying at this time.
The making of twine at the peniten-
tiary has proved beneficial to the far
mers of Kansas, but so far it has not
been very profitable to the state. Kan
sa wheat raisers have been able to get
their Irvine made from two to five
cents a pound cheaper than the Irvine
trust intended to sell it for. The trust
Irvine finally came down to penitent1ary
prices, and cuts were made on both
sides.
A strong fight was made against the
penitentiary Irvine on the part OF the
Irvine trust. All kinds of untruthful
stories were told about the size of the
balls, shortage in length of Irvine to
the pound and that it clogged the ma
chinery of binders. These stories tended
to retard the sale The penitentiary
Irvine had to be paid for when ordered
and as many implement dealers sold
on credit this also retarded the sale of
the prison Irvine.
So far as the sale of Irvine in Kansas
was concerned it turned out fairly well.
The officials can not sell large quanti-
ties, as they expected, in Iowa, Nebras-
ka and the Dakotas, owing to the fail
ure of the wheat crop in the states
north of here. There is a good wheat
crop in southern Nebraska and much
Irvine has been shipped into this terri
tory, but none has gone to the North
west wheat growing country.
