One of Col. Strong's possessions OF

an 1904 dollar" He carried 1t in his
pocket for many years and valued 1t
at $4,000, says a writer in the New

siderably less, though 1t is said there
are only three such dollars in exist

One OF the mysteries is the dlsap-

A Mr.. Freeman, who visited South

country. He gives his authority for

the remarkable accounts sometimes

well knows that the method prevailed,
and was certainly not uncommon
among the people. Lions would some
times become extremely dangerous.
Having become accustomed to human
flesh, they would not willingly eat
anything else. When a neighborhood
became infested, the men would de-
termine on the measures to be adopted
to rid themselves of the nuisance.
Then, forming themselves into a band,
they would proceed in search of their
royal foe. AS the men stcod close by
n another, the lion would make a
spring on some one of the party
every man. of course, hoping that he
might escape the attack-when in
stantly others would dash forward and
seize his tail close to the body, lifting
him up with all their might. Thus
they not only astonished the animal
and took him absolutely off his guard,
but they rendered his efforts ~powerless
for the moment. Other men closed in
with their spears, and pierced the mon-
ster through and through. All this
was done, not for the exciting pleas
ure Of a lion-hunt nor as an exhibition
of proves, but to rid the neighbor-
hood of the villages of a dreadful
enemy, and to save the men them
selves from becoming in their turn
