Forgot that Accidents Sometimes Hap
pen to Touring Cars.
An antique milkman driving a ven
cradle horse of hatrack proportions
was slowly ascending a hill in the
suburbs when a heavy touring car
OF the latest fashion rolled up behind
MIN and then whirled by. AS the car
passed the milkman the chauffeur
looked around at the ancient outfit
with a derisive smile, and then salut-
ed it with three hoarse "honks" of the
shrillest proportions.
Two hundred feet away the car
came to grief. A tire blew up with
a startling report and the great ma
chine came to sudden stop.
Then the venerable milkman
clucked to his plodding horse and
urging him into a trot passed by the
car with head we'll up and a close
copy Of the chauffeur's derisive smile
on his weatherbeaten countenance.
And, as he passed, he stopped and
raised his milk bell and gave it three
mighty rings, and logged contentedly
along.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

HAND-To-HAND FIGHT WITH LION

South African Dutchman Lucky to
Live to Tell the Tale.
Martin Drew of W'Putezeni, South
Africa, writes as follows to a friend
of recent happening in that vicinity:
"a chap named De Beer of Shiloh was
walking down from the Bubi river. He
slept just this side of the Bembesi.
Shortly after sunrise he started to
walk on, leaving his boy to pack up
and follow. He hadn't gone half a
mile when he heard lion grunt be-
hind him. Turning, there was lion
ess about fifty yards away and she
came on to within about twenty PAGES.
Then he let her have it, breaking her
lower jaw. She charged and the next
shot broke one front leg. The third,
at close quarters, missed her alto
gether. The lioness got De Beer down
and his left hand and arm, with which
he was trying to guard his face. were
much bitten. She got hold of his
hand with her back teeth and chewed
it badly, but her jaw and front leg
being broken she could not finish him
off. He had little terrier dog with
him, and the dog, about this time, fas.
tened into the loness' ear and hung
on. This made the brute shift little
and DeBeer was able to get hold of his
rifle with his right hand. He shot her
through the chest and she died on top
of him with his left hand still in her
mouth. The natives made some med
icine' and tied his wounds up. He
walked on here and after we had done
what We could for him he went on
home. The poor chap is terribly torn
about, but no bones are broken, al.
though his clothes were ripped to
rags"
