The Eyes of a Lion.

One night when some troopers were
encamped in South Africa, it came the
turn of Rennie Stevenson to go for wa
ter to the spring, which was about a
thousand yards distant. He describes
the experiences in his booy, Through
Rhodesia." A comrade volunteered to
accompany him. When shey were near
ing the spring, this man whispered to
Stevenson:
"There's a lion skulking in the I'M
derbrush on the right bank"
Yes, there were its eyes, cleaning
through the dark.
"Shall l fre?" whispered the SOL

you only wound it, we will be done

The trooper knelt and took long,
steady aim.
Bang! The sound of the shot re-
verberated through the surrounding
trees and up the river. But there were
the eyes, still cleaning.
Stevenson asked for the rifle and
crawled nearer, trying to get better
shot. Closer and closer went the two.

denly, when they thought they were al
most in the face of the "lion," they
found the "eyes" to be two glowworms.

Steam pipes coming in direct contact
with wood are another source of frequent
fires. The wood becomes charred and finally
takes fire.
Look out for these things, see that chill

that adults do not throw matches about mis-

greatly diminished.

A GHOSTLY MANIFESTATION
The Remarkable story Related by n
Washington Man About
Mandolin

ut is sometimes possible" said a
Washington gentleman who has
given considerable attention to the
investigation of spiritualism, ito
trace to natural causes the source Of
supposed supernatural sounds and
manifestations. ! am reminded of
ghostly manifestation based upon
tragedy. 1t is for psychological
students to determine the cause, as
have no explanations or sugges-
tions to offer beyond the mere recital
of the actual facts, which, by the
way, happened in this city" says the
Washington Star.
The only daughter of an aunt of
mine had been presented with a man
dolin by teacher of music of whom
she was very fond. He was an elder
ly man of family, who esteemed her
as his own child. Unhappily he be-
came victim of incorporate habits,
and lost his pupils and property in
consequence.
"One night after my aunt and niece
had retired the former was awakened
by what, as she positively declared,
was the unmistakable impress of
human hand upon her own hand and
arm, which were thrown over the
coverlet of the bed. Very much
startled and frightened she sat erect.
In the faint light of the gas jet,
turned down low, she observed that
the hands of the clock on the man
tlepiece pointed to the hour Of II.
Almost simultaneously my niece
awoke with loud cry of terror and,
clinging to her mother, she said that
some one had shaken her by the arm.
Both mother and daughter were
awakened out of n sound sleep at the
same moment by n similar manifesta
ton of some apparently physical
force, as it would have been impos-
sible for one to have seized the other
in the manner described.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1902-07-17

Gas the terrified girl was relating
her experience and sensations the
sound of music came from a closet
in the far corner of the room, the
door of which was open, and in which
was the mandolin given to her by the
professor, strapped in its box. The
music was the unmistakable twang
of the fingers or the like upon the
metal strings. 1t was not d melody,
but was as though the strings had
been strummed several times by the
tips of the fingers. The sound was
loud and distinct.
Their shrieks of terror brought
the rest of the family, including my
self, to their room. An investigation
proved that the straps around the
mandolin case were tightly buckled
and were intact. Opon opening the
case the mandolin and its strings
were also found to be in perfect con
dtiOn.
'On the following day it was
learned that the professor had COM
mitted suicide in a fit of despond-
ency, and at an hour which tailed
with that when my aunt and niece
had been so rudely awakened and
the strings of the mandolin had been
struck within its securely fastened
case.
This instance I do not attempt to
explain, further than to reassert that
the facts are as have given them"

BUSINESS CONSCIENCE.
Queer Distinction Made by London
Clock Makers In Some of
Their Work.

The Sunday morals of many a COM
munity are an improvement upon
those of ordinary work days. Some
how conscience seems to sleep when
the hand is busy, particularly if the
hand be employed upon some profit
able work. A London artist tells of a
curious incident that came under his
notice some little while ago, says
Youths Companion.
II had an old English bracket clock
that | took myself to a wholesale firm
of clock makers to be repaired. Whilst
in the shop l noticed peculiar piece
of mechanism, the purpose of which
puzzled me, so sought for informa-
tion.
"'Ohr replied one of the firm, that's
a special order for temple in China;
it is to work an idol and make him
move
"Presumably that clock-maker was
an excellent Christian in his own esti-
nation. | do not know whether there
was anything in my look that he con-
sidered called for an explanation, but
he added:
"'Business is business, you know.
You'd be astonished to learn what fun
ny orders we have some times in our
trade. Only the other day a firm asked
us if we would make some imitation
genuine" Elizabethan clocks; they
sent us one to copy. But we replied
declining, merely saying that we had
so far conducted our business honestly,

informant, it is not dishonest to make
clockwork intended secretly to make

called the "pig-tail trade" to Borneo,

known native states, and had come

The Maid and the Luncheon.

Once upon time there was young
man who cared very little for the So
ciety of women, and found no pleas
ure in their company, until he met
a young lady who was clothed in silk,
satin, velvet, lace and jewels, and
made an exceedingly fine appearance.
She received his attentions very gra-
ciously, and after a short acquaint-
ance accepted an invitation to the
theater. When the play was over they
went to a restaurant for luncheon.
Isn't this salad fine ?" he asked.
Yes" sne answered, "the lovely
mayonnaise makes it just delicious"

Mr.. Fairfax?" he asked, with a

to observe that"

never met anyone who could so calm

fellow-being. But supposing we now
come to business"

81 am as anxious as yourself to get
everything settled. You will admit
that it is rather hard lines on man
who can lay his hands upon a quar-
ter of million of money to have a
gentleman like yourself upon his
trail, and, instead of being able to
enjoy himself, to be compelled to re-
main continually in hiding. l am an
individual who likes to make the
most of his life. I also enjoy the So
ciety of my fellow-men."
"May we not substitute 'woman| "
I asked. "I am afraid your quarter
of million would not last very long
if you had much to do with Mile.
Beaumarais."
$50 you have heard of her, have
you?" he answered. "But you need
have no fear. Dog does not eat dog,
and that charming lady will not de-
spoil me of very much! Now to an
other matter! What amount do you
think your clients would feel inclined
to take in full settlement of their
claim upon me?"
Il cannot say" I answered. "How
many of the gems have you realized
upon?"
"There were 90 originally" he said,
when he had consulted his pocket
book, "and | have sold 60, which
leaves a balance of 33, all of which
are better than any l have yet dis
posed of. VIII your clients be pre-
pared to accept G5O,OOO, of course,
given without prejudice?"
Your generosity amazes me-" I
answered. my clients, your part
ners, are to take e25,OOO apiece,
while you get off scot-free, after
your treatment of them, with e2O0,-
OOO."
They may consider themselves
lucky to get anything" he retorted.
Run your eye over the case, and see
how it stands. You must know as
well as l do that they haven't a leg
to stand upon. If I wanted to be
nasty, l should say let them prove
