AN INTERESTING FIG HIT.

TIou

Hogs RepeI the Attack of a Mountain
Lion.
Deputy Sheriff James Campbell. who
is now driving the mail coach from
Oroyille to Yankee Hill and back daily,
witnessed an interesting sight on-one
of his recent trips. He was well up in
the hills and driving along d grade,
when he heard a squeal from d pig on
the opposite side of the anydn The
next minute there was a cry from the
old SOW and then the woods seemed.
full of bristling sows and sl~uealingt
pigs. Campbell stopped his team a
moment to see the cause of the uproar.
A huge California lion was in a small
tree and his presence had caused al
commotion. The hogs gathered quick
ly into a circle with the old sows and
larger pigs in the center, while four of
the biggest sows stood guard on the
outskirts of the crowd. A second later
the lion sprang upon the back of the
SOW nearest him, but the others made
a rush and he bounded down the hill
like a rubber ball, pursued by the sow,
he had attacked. In a moment he dis
appeared in the brush, but quickly ap-
peared again and sprang up into the
little oak. He was evidently trying tot
scare away the sows in order to reach
a sucking pig, for the next moment
he sprang upon one of the older sowsi
and struck her a sharp blow with one
OF his paws. Her thick hide prevent
ed much harm from being done, and
again he was rushed at by the infuri-
ated animals and forced to fee. Again
and again was this performance re-
peated. He would run up the tree,
spring upon the back of a hog, be
chased by the others, jump to the
ground, run out of their reach and in
a moment or two was back again. The
older hogs all stood in a perfect circle,
each hogs tail in and jaws out to face
the lion. From their united action it
was evident the lion would go without
a pig for breakfast, so Jim rode on
without waiting to see the end of the

The story is current in Germany
that not long since a party of Ameri-
can women met the Kaiser on board
his yacht and seized the opportunity
to present to him the claims of the
new oma The Kaiser heard them
courteously, and replied in excellent
English: "In my busy life, ladies, I
have had little time to consider these
matters, but my wife informs me that
the natural sphere of woman is bound
ed by the four Ks" Seeing by their
countenances that they did not quite
understand him, he continued: But
perhaps you are not sufficiently famil-
lar with German to recognize the four
KS, Kinder and Kuchen, Kleider and
Kirche, children and cooking, clothes
and the church," The women dared
not gainsay the dictum of royalty, but
they went away exceedingly sorrow
full, for they held advanced ideas about
women. Germany is marching along
the highway of progress, but the idea
that the home sphere is the highest
sphere for women and hat all en-
largements of her destiny are only
tributary to her spiritual e. empire is
deeply fixed in the Teutonic mind.

softly UP to the door of his wife's
room. The door was ajar, and he
glanced inside. A lamp was burning
on the table, but Frau Gherken was
not there. He stood still and listened
for a minute, and thought he heard
her moving about the dining room
below, but the sound was not repeated.
Then he stepped forward and turned
up the light. A sheet of paper neatly
folded lay on the table. With a trem-

snatched it up and read:
Hans: l am gone. You do not love

PEOPLE OF SHAWNEETOWN
DESERVING the Place, Fearing Another
toric Old Town.

5bOAA OAu O"h
Harrisburg Qll.) Cor. Chicago Rec
ord: The city Of Shawneetown, on the
Ohio river, the second oldest town in
the state and as historic as Alexandria,
the Oldest town in the United States, is
passing away. The recent food has
worked greatly against the city. Peo-
pie are becoming dissatisfied and
alarmed, and are leaving, most of them
moving to Ridgway, in the same u
ty. Eventually the court house will be
removed to Ridgway, and before many
years S-haWneetown, like Kaskasia, will
be no more. Shawneetown was a -four
nishing city when Chicago was but a
village, and there are indeed many in
teresting old landmarks to be seen
about town. The hotel where Lafay-
cite was so royalty entertained when
he visited this country in 1926 still
stands; the state bank, with its colonial
pillars and copper roof: the house
where John A. Logan was married; the
home of Col. Mulberry Sellers, Mark
Twain's character in his "Gilded Age"
the old court house where Logan, In
gersoll and a number of other noted
lawyers practiced law in early days,are
all objects of interest to visitors. But
probably the most interesting spot is
the old Westwood cemetery, where lie
the bodies of Mclean, the first United
States senator from Illinois; Hon.
Thomas S. Ridgway, at one time state
treasurer of Illinois, and many others
of Illinois brightest stars. Shawnee
town is the birthplace of some of the
best people in this grand old state, and
the names of Ridgway, McGehee, Pee
bles, Poole, BARLEY, Townsend and
Robinson will live in the hearts of the
people when Shawneetown is in the
bed of the Ohio river.

France is the land of the medal. Not
taking into account the thirty odd mil
itary ones, all of which no soldier

Frenchman is one-has been able to

doorkeepers to heads of departments,
get a medal for being true to the repub-

who owns n acre of land can call
himself one-you are decorated with
the Order of the Leek. Crossing sweep

story of a Frenchman who lay dying in

starvation, he seemed happy. His few
friends, standing round his bed, wait

he replied, II have lived for SO years

SECRETS OF
Fatal Diseases of Men Traced to Tiles
and Mosquitoes.


London Times: A correspondent
writes from Sierra Leone, under date
Aug. 10: "The medical research expe-
dition sent by the School of Tropical
Diseases, Liverpool, arrived here on the
10th by the steamship Fantee. 1t con-
sists of Major Ross, of University Col
lege, Liverpool, formerly of the Indian
medical service; DR.. Annett, also of the
University College, Liverpool, a pupil
OF DR.. Koch, and Mr.. Austen, entomol-
ogist of the British museum. They
have been busy ever since their arrival
IN making experiments and in inves-
tigating fever cases. The expedition
could not have come at a more oppor-
tune time, as the weather is exceed
1ngly unhealthy at present and fever
cases are prevalent. One most import
ant discovery has been made-that is,
that the A%nopheles mosquito, which
absorbs and transmutes the fever para
site, abounds in this colony; also that
the fever parasite exists in it, after it
has bitten a fever patient. The fever
parasite has also been found in large
numbers in the blood of fever patients
in the military hospitals. Another
remarkable discovery is that of the
tsetse fly, which apparently thrives in
this climate. This discovery will ac-
count to a great extent for the reason
why horses invariably die after a short
time spent here, and for the great NOR
tality among cattle. It is worthy Of
note what little interest has hitherto
been taken in Sierre Leone, although it
has been in our possession for 100
years, and hundreds of horses must
have died during that period, yet no
investigation has ever been made to
find out if the mortality among horses
was caused by the tsetse fly; on the
contrary, it was always supposed that
the tsetse fly did not exist, and that
horses died from lion disease caused
by eating the grass of the country. The
expenses and disadvantages of human
transport might have induced the gov
eminent to ascertain if the tsetse fly
did exist on the west coast of Africa.
AS no accommodation had been pro-
vided for the members of the eXpedi-
ton in Freetown, they have been put
up by the officers of the West India
regiment in Tower Hill barracks, where
every opportunity has been afforded
them of carrying on their investiga-
tions. Much advantage should be
gained by the interchangeable researches
of this expedition, and a new light has
been thrown on the treatment of ma
larial diseases by the great benefit to
be deprived from the revelations of
the microscope"

The work Of cutting down the grades
on the Chicago division of the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road will be be-
gun at, once, and most of the heavy
work will have been completed by
spring.
The Chicago division work includes
reductions between Tifin, o., and At
tica, where a 28-foot grade will be re-
duced to IS feet, for a distance of 16
miles, the heaviest cut being at Repub-
lie.
At Teegarden, Ind, there are 175, 900
cubic yards to be removed, to reduce
the grade from % to 16 feet. Between
Garrett and Ripley, Ind, there will be
q relocation of the line for sever miles,
reducing a 26-foot grade to 16 feet,
both east and west bound.
These reductions will cost about
100000, but will allow an increase Of
nearly 30 per cent in train loading
when they are completed.
