The first Game.

Harry Nckens, Greenville's star
twrler. gets no Fourth of July pres
ents this year. He pitched a good
game and all that but he ran up
against the graduates of the school of
SWatting and yielded ten safe ones
during about one hour and forty min
utes of play Against this lean, lanlly
twirler was one stocky lad of the
name of Con Lucid otherwise known
as The Ancient" Although Lucids
hair is gray around the temples and
he has had many years experience on
the diamond he is not so old when it
comes to pitching. and he made the
Greenvile players look like thirty
cents Lucid allowed but one hit,
and fast fielding behind him would
have kept it down to one clean drive.
There were those in the grand stand
who wanted to see Lucid celebrate
the Fourth by pitching a no-hit, no.
run game, and he did his best to do it.
The score was Pine Bluff, A. Green

THE LION.

There is in the appearance of the
lion something both noble and i'm
posing. Nature has given his wonder
full strength and beauty. His body
when full grown, is only about seven
feet long and less than four feet
high; but his large and shapely head
with flowing name, give him an air
of majesty that shows him worthy
of the name, king of beasts" Yet
we are told that a lion will not will
ingly attack a man, unless first at
tackled himself On meeting man
suddenly he will turn, retreat slowly
for a short distance and then run
away. The lion belongs to the cat
family, and his teeth and claws are
similar in form and action 10 those Of
the house cat
His food is the flesh of animals, and
so great is his appetite that it must
require several thousand other ami
mails to supply one lion with food dur
ing his lifetime. His strength is so
enormous that he can crush the skull
of an OK with a single bow of his
powerful paw and then grasp it in his
jaw and bound away.
Unless driven by hunger to holder
measures, he will hide in the bushes
or in the tall reeds along the banks
of rivers and spring suddenly upon the
unlucKy animal that chances to come
near him W n Tr in Tho

toward the east he perceived a large
building in flames. The engines
came rushing around the corner, but
the building was too far gone to be
saved The hose was playing on the
burning side of the building and all
the people were supposed to be out,
when Jimmy espied little girl look

She was in imminent danger of being
killed by the flames and the pieces
of constantly falling roof, but she
seemed unconscious of it. Jimmy
saw one of the fremen's ladders ly-

he reached the child he took her in
