NIGHT WITH HUNGRY LION.
Well-Known Traveller Tells of Thrill
ing Adventure he Once Had in
Central Africa.

Lions, it seems, take to man-eating
only as a means of self-defense, or
when they become too old to be a
match for the wild prey, the flavor of
watch they so much prefer. Old hunt
ers declare that they never knew a
lion really to stalk" a man; that, as
rule, they rather turn up their
noses" at civilized flesh, and are more
or less easily diverted from the scent.
In Days and Nights by the Desert
Parker Gilmore tells of a trick he
once played on one of these animals.
Il was hunting ostriches," he says.
AT bend in the ravine the bird dis
appeared, and I was about to follow it.
when. by the merest chance, l looked
behind me, and to my surprise and
horror saw that large lion was not over
70 yards behind me, and evidently
stalking me as carefully as had been
stalking the bird.
"If | could have gained a tree l
should certainly have climbed it in a
hurry; but no tree was near. To make
a run for it would have brought the
lion upon me at once. kept steadily
along the edge of the ravine till
came to place that promised shelter;
it was drop of four feet to ledge

where my foe was. About 20 rods be-
hind me were few ragged bushes.
Behind these the lion had taken shell
ter, and was keeping a careful survey
upon my every movement. Darkness
was rapidly coming on, when I slipped
from my seat and dropped down to the
ledge. Instantly slipped of my coat
and hung 1t on the muzzle of my mus

ledge where had so lately been sit

scarcely was this done when my coat
was torn away and my gun hurled tc

A SONG OF SATURDAYS.

Sing song of Saturdays,
Band of fifty-two,
Joining hands about the year.
What a merry crew!
How they make the hours dance!
How they shout with g.ee!
Yes. the happy Saturday
Is the day for me-
Sing a song of Saturdays,
Pearls upon a chain, 8
Hung about the New Years neck
When she comes again.
All among the other beads,
Pink CIR blue or gray.
How YOU love the shining CLEAN
OF Saturday!
Sing song of Saturdays,
Roses in a wreath,
Fifty-two so big and bright
Who would look beneatho
Other days may be as green,
Others bloom as fair,
Yet a single Saturday
We could never spare.
Sing a song of Saturdays,
Rests along the road;
Here We halt to take a breath,
Ease the weary load.
Ho' Another milestone passed
Toward the goal We seek,
Then, refreshed, We travel on
For another week.

ayers of the 'expositions held at
Omaha, Buffalo and St. Louis. 1t is
probable, however, that the custom
has now come to an end. The elab-
crate designs of the special issues
necessitates a stamp of twice the
ordinary size and this has given rise
to a general complaint from business
men throughout the country who find
that the large stamps entail consid-
cradle extra trouble in their USE
Postmasters also complain of the
stamps because of the large size of
the sheets they are obliged to handle.
For these reasons it is likely that
the expositions of the future will
meet with a rebuff when they ask
for special issues of stamps to ad-
vertise their shows.

A NATURAL RESULT.

1t is very reasOnble to suppose If
the foundation of a structure was
removed that the building itself is
bound to come down. This same prin-
cirle can be applied to disease. Take
medicine into the system that will
remove the cause of sickness, and ILL
ness will leave of itself Dyspepsia,
indigestion, sick-headache and bill
iousness have their foundation in
stomach disorders. Remove this
weakness and the other symptoms
are no more. There is one cure for
this that all druggists sell for 25c
