ever had and that his patriotism,

war office is bitter against Rudyard.

another poem and tell more truth and

and narrowness Of so.called generals.
And what is more, Kipling is likely
to do it. The fight is a sery pretty

the Californian coast declare that they
witnessed such battle. The me9
were amusing Themselves watching
the antics Of number Of sea lions on
reef when all at once the creatures
began to below tn alarm and dived
into the water. One huge fellow alone
stood his ground and moved his head
! slowly, as If watching.
moment later the men saw creep
ing from the shadow of a rock two
large panthers, which had evidently
swum over from the mainland in
search of prey.
simultaneously the panthcrs leapod
upon their enemy and terrible COM
bat ensued. For nearly 30 minutes 1t
went on, till the reef was skirted with
crimson foam.
Twice the lion struck panther
squarely with his tlipper and knocked
him dozen feet away. But the great
cats kept to their work, and finally one
Of them buried his teeth in a hipper of
the sea lion. and tore it off with sin
gle savage tug.
Believing hoarsely with pain and an.
ger, the wounded bull caught the
panther's throat between its jaws and
dragged him into the water, but the
big brute was weak from loss Of blood.
The panther escaped, and, with its
mate, swan off for the mainland
across the narrow channel, while the
sea lion struggled out toward the ocean
to die.
The men went down to examine the
field Of battle. A hole deep enough to
bury horse had been dug in the soft
mud, Willie the shore was stained blood

The Grand Medicine Man.

The ceremony of the Grand Medicine
fs an elaborate ritual, covering several
days, the endless number of gods and
spirits being called upon to minister to
the sick man and to lengthen his life.
The several degrees of the Grand Med.
lcine teach the use of incantations, OF
medicines and pOisons, and the require
ments necessary to constitute brave.
When young man seeks admission
tosthe Grand Medicine lodge, he first
fasts until he sees in his dream some
animal, the mink, beaver, otter and
fisher being most common, which he
hunts and kills. The skin is then
ornamented with beads or porcupine
quilts, and the spirit of the animal he-
comes the friend and companion of the
man.
The medicine men have only lin.
tied knowledge of herbs, but they are
expert in dressing wounds, and the art
of extracting barbed arrows from the
desh can be learned from them.
In Olden times-yes, to within the
memory of living Ojibways-the med.
tcine man at the funeral ceremony thus
addressed the departed: Dear friend.
you will not feel lonely while pursuing
your journey toward the setting sun
