CATCHING LIONS.
Natives of the Kalahari Country in
Africa Seize Them by
the Tail.

A Mr.. Freeman, who visited South
Africa in the first half of the century,
was able to gather much information
about life and sport in that country.
He gives his authority for most singu-
lar mode of attack upon the lion, says
Youths Companion.
Mr.. Lemue, who formerly resided at
Motto, and is familiar with the Kala-
hari country, assured me that the re-
markable accounts sometimes circulat-
ed as to the people of that part of.Afri-
ca catching lions by the tail, and of
which, confess, was very incredu-
lous, were perfectly true. He well
knows that the method prevailed, and
was certainly not uncommon among
the people.
Lions would sometimes become ex-
tremely dangerous. Having become ac-
customed to human flesh, they would
not willingly eat anything else. When
a neighborhood became infested, the
men would determine on the measures
to 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 stood close by one an
other, the lion would make spring on
some one Of the party-every man, of
course, hoping that he might escape
the attack-when instantly 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 rem
dered his efforts powerless for the mo-
ment. Other men closed in with their
spears, and pierced the monster
through and through.
All this was done, not for the exciting
pleasure of a lion-hunt nor as an ex-
hibition of prowess, but to rid the
neighborhood of the villages of a
dreadful enemy. and to save the men
themselves from becoming in their
turn the breakfast or the supper of
this monarch of the desert.

The Main Question.

A certain learned professor was re-
Gently invited to lecture in an English
village, and talked completely over the
heads of his bucolic audience. At the
close Of his lecture he dropped his lofty
style and blandly remarked: "And
now, friends, in conclusion, allow me
to say that if anyone has question
to ask will do my best to answer
him." It was very old villager in the
back seat who slowly rose to his feet
and asked the first and only question:
"Aw'd be vurry mich obleeged, meas
ter" he remarked, IF ye'd jest tell US

SEALED ORDERS.


Out she swung from her moorings,
And over the harbor bar,
As the moon was slowly rising.
She faded from sight and afar,
And we traced her cleaning canvas
By the twinkling evening star.
None knew the port she sailed for,
Nor whittier her course would be;
Her future fate was shrouded
In silence and mystery.
She was sailing under sealed orders
To be opened out at sea. =
Some souls, cut of from moorings.
Go drifting into the night,
Darkness before and around them,
With scarce glimmer of light;
They are acting under sealed orders
And sailing by faith, not sight.
Keeping the line of duty
Through good and evil report,
They shall ride the storms out safely,
Be the passage long or short;
For the ship that carries Gods orders
Shall anchor at last in port.
Helen Chauncey, in Sailors Magazine.

"But where shall meet you?" asked
Mrs. Nolan, frightened by the pre-
seriousness of the undertaking.

TONED Mrs. Goddard was ready for her
bold dash for what she called liberty"
She wore simple black dress and e
rather long black veil. Mrs. Nolan had
bravely reconnoitered for her; she had
gone down at the first bump of the ten
der against the side of the ship and
found the upper decks clear and the
lower one chaos of struggling second
class passengers anxious to get ashore.
Mrs. Nolan returned with an air of
great relief.

badly lighted and they will drive the
people on the tender like sheep. Go
right on, take the first fight of stairs
to the right and you will be swallowed

This opinion was well grounded.
Mrs. Goddard crossed the deck, de-
scended the steps in question and found
herself, in throng of passengers with
eyes only for the little boat ahead of
them. Our adventures was soon on
the tender, and took the most remote
seat she could find in the stern of the
boat. 1t soon began to move.
The lights of Liverpool lay along the
shore half mile distant. The black
hull of the Cleopatra doomed overhead
like threatening cloud. Mrs. God
dard held her satchel tightly in her
lap. 1t seemed such a short distance
and yet the little boat seemed only to
creep. She drew the foggy air deep
into her lungs. 1t seemed so sweet aft
er her close confinement. She would
feel that she had earned the, right to
her freedom when she got it. After
awhile, through the gray light of COM
ing dawn, she began to discern the
buildings of the city.
A little later the tender was scrap
ing against the piles of the wharf. AS
she went ashore, Mrs. Goddard saw
that two or three sleepy custom off

luggage without examination. It was
evident that only the trunks would
have to bear close scrutiny. One of the
officers caught her arm and turned her
round, but when he saw how small her

and she passed on out of the throng

The Texarkana Texarkanian of Jan. 2b thus comments upon the characlt ter and business ability of Hon. E. M. Foreman, who is the presert Postmaster of that city.

soldiers, who stood guard in the eos, were unfit to act as his dep uties in guarding the mines? If not, why did he not put them on as they had had experience and the advantage of better dis erection?
 Will Mr. Stahl explain to the members of the Republican State Central Committee how he came to jump into the Republican camp after he had withheld his political views for several years from the public on account of his business interests here in Ben ton county?
 I have been 8 Republican all my life and l am not disgruntled by reason of having been defeated in aspirations for office. No Republican in Benton county has been more favorably con- sidered than 1, in this respect. But when I see the methods that have been and are now being employed to throttle the wishes of the Republicans by Stahl, his Chief and a fewof his minor pie eaters, to the detriment of the Republican party and all com- mon decency, I am going to at least enter my solemn protest.
 The Republicans of Benton county are entitled to be free and independent yeomen within the Republican ranks in their own council. But instead they are being gagged by a few who have no Republican interests at heart who seek to satisfy lusty greed for financial gain.
 Respectfully,

AN EPIDEMIC.
Smallpox Is General All Over
 the Country.

the Country.
 The following comment upon the subject of smallpox is about in keeping with statements being made by editors and newspaper correspondents all over tue United States. We take this ar- ticle from Eureka Springs Daily Times Echo:
 The recent disclosures made by newspapers all over the country concerning the iklehood of d smallpox epidemic, will no doubt frighten great many people, but the fact remains that it is the best thing for the whole country that the truth be known when the stage is reached like that at pres ent. It is announced that there is not a state now left free from the epidemic, and that all efforts to check it have not been success ful yet. One reason for the lack of success is that in each locality where the disease was found the people thought they were the only affected community and kept the facts from the public from the fear that the town might be damaged. Now that it is known that the disease exists in every state, and that running away from it is about as judicious as running away from bad cold, the medical authorities may be better able to cope with it.
 It is stated that the present visitation of the disease to Ameri- ca results from the war with Spain, in which it was brought home by the soldiers. This has been augmented by the arrivals from the Philippines since the Spanish war closed, which makes it's eradication more difficult. For more than a year the peculiar disease has been spreading to every community, but in such a light form has it appeared that many of the best physicians have declared that is is not smallpox. Certain it is that it is not to be dreaded as was the smallpox. of several years ago, and the deaths are fewer than from a, similar contagion of measles, chicken ] pex, or almost any other epidemic disease. The mildness may be accounted for by the fact that vaccination has become a general practice in this country during the past few years, and the peo- pie have become systemically in- oculated against the disease, so that it has assumed a form of variloid. For this reason many doctors do not pronounce it small- pox, and 8 large percent of patients hardly go to bed from it. The cases of biting are very rare, and few fatalities occur ex- cept in populous centers where sanitation is bad. It really ap- pears that the deaths will be less from this than form the epidemic of La Grippe which went across the continent ten years ago.
 Since it has been made public that the diesease exists to a large degree in every state, the author ities may be able to better handle it. In the northern states, where it is more likely to assume a vir- ulent form, the newspapers have become quite excited over the matter in some cases; but it is the opinion of medical authoiti9s ] that the fear of smallpox, in these days, is for the most part traditional, coming down to us i from a time when science had not yet robbed it of it's torrors.

The Green Forest Drarnat tic Club.

The Green Forest Dramatic Club presented it's first play Mon day night to crowded house. The club is composed entirely of home talent, and the members acquitted themselved splendidly, and won applause from start to finish.
 The play was entitled "The Re- ward of Crime, or the Love of Gold," and the cast of characters was as follows.
 E. P. Puckett played the role of Hazel Green, a typical Yankee farmer, who was very anxious that his daughter wed Simon Barrs, whom he thought to be very rich.
 Mrs. E. P. Puckett admirably represented Clarinda, the wife of Hazel Green, and was much op- posed to the marriage of their daughter to any one for the love of riches only.
 Miss Amy Ramsey played the part of Mable Green, the daugh- ter, whose hand was sought by Simon Barrs and Hart Hawkins.
 George Phillips posed as Simon Barrs, the murderer, and would be-rich mine owner, who had succeeded in filching old man Green of S1O, 1000, and almost had his plans perfected to claim the hand of the old mans daughter.
 Emit Roberts, as Brandon Coyle, was an accomplice of Si- mon Barrs and helped him to lay his plans which were thwarted by Tim Gleason.
 H. M. Foster personated Tim Gleason, the Yankee servant, and Mrs. Foster, Rose Cranberry, a domestic, both in the employ of Hazel Green. They furnished the merriment of the evening and were instrumental in opening the old gents eyes to the fact that he wanted his daughter to marry the murderer of his own son in- stead of a rich man, as he thought.
 H. F. Jernigrn, as Hart Flaw kins, was the accepted suitor of Mable Green and favorite of the mother, Mrs. Green. His three years absence in Australia had given him an opportunity to earn enough money to begin the battles of life with his faithful lover, and time for the old man to learn "that all is not gold that l glitters.
 All is well that ends well, and the last scene witnessed the hap Ipy marriage of Hart Hawkins and Mable Green; also that of l Tim Gleason to Rose Cranberry l all to the hearts delight of MT. and Mrs. Green,

 blow your own horn, no body will blow it for you," seems to be appreciated by Stahl, who is buying praises for himself in a great many papers of the Vest ern district.
 In a republican form of govern ment like ours, no man has life's lease upon an office, ad- hitting that he may have done his duty. Rotation in office is deemed one of the safest bull warks for the protection of our free institutions, and the surest safeguard against corruption.
 Why is Stahl entitled to be per- .petuated in an office worth S5, ,000 Ia year against [ a Republican who has been in the state longer than he and has worked in, the Re- publican trenches longer than he has? As a patriot and a Re- publican has MT. Stahl in his of ficial capacity shown the deserv- ing gratitude he should have ex- ercised toward the surviving boys who wore the Blue in the eos?
 Will Mr. Stahl please prove his fealty to the Republican party by publishing list of his sub .ordinates from his Chief Deputy down, showing the salary of each and designating how many of them are old soldiers and how many like himself never smelled powder? Wi Mir. Stahl tell the President when he jumped the fence into the Republi can camp in Benton county, Ark, 12 years ago, the Republicans cast 1470 votes and that while there are now 800 more Republicans in the county than there were when he and his Chief took charge of the party reins, yet the vote dwindled down to 109e at the last election?
 Will Mr. Stahl please desig- nate under oath the number o1 illicit distilleries he discovered and destroyed through the ef- forts of his own force, itemizing carefully, and likewise give the number of those that the Internal Revenue Collector discovered and made acquisitions upon him for force to capture the same thereby truthfully inform all con cerned what credit H. l.. Rem mel and his subordinates are en titled to receive?
 If Mr.. Sta hl's paid-for state ments, as they appear i'll numer- ous papers cohcerning his officia efforts in breh ehking up these il- licit distilld d1 es are true, then MT Remmel ard his deputies have been direldc of their duties, anc MT. Stahl IS an officer should call the attention of the depart ment, and help secure a more able and vigilant man to heac the Internb bl Revenue service.
 Will MrI Stahl, in his fondness to break ltolpublic print, give g list of the Blind Tiger keepers he caused to be arrested in Ben ton county during his term, giv- ing names, number convicted number acquitted and the ex- pense incurred in each case, what the U. s. Commissioner. what Mr. i5ta,hl and what his dep- uties realized, so that the public may judge flor themselves wheth- CT the service was we'll done and as required by law?
 Will Mr. 8tahl publish the list of deputies he appointed to guard the mines in Sebastian county during the strike, each of whom got S3.50 pe|r day; tell how many were old Isoldiers who stood guard at SIS per month in the eos and were paid in a de- preciated 9urrency, how many Republicans who liever smelled powder, anld how many Demo- crats?
