Noted Hunter Killed with One Blow
Of Animals Paw.
The Indian mail to hand brings us
vivid and pathetic details OF the death
of Major Carnegy during his lion
shooting exploit In the Gird forest dis
:rict. The major, Of course, Is the
political officer Of the Viceroy, and the
expedition had been arranged by LORD
Lamington on the site of the lion hunt
prepared for Lord Curzon five years
ago. but never fulfilled. 1t Is believed
there are sixty or seventy lions In the
Gird. and the major, having spent the
last couple Of years In the vicinity
knew the Junagadh better than any
one else. On March 9 a tracker arrived
who had been attacked by Hon Whiie
riding into camp, and while he dropped
his weapons and escaped, 1t was only
by abandoning his pony and seeing Ene
animal carried off.
The shoot" was divided into three
parties, with the major In the second

of about ten miles. The major ana MS
two friends, Mr.. du Boulay and Capt.
Foliambe, selected q tree, each ranging
along a nullah and the two latter fired
at a fine lion, wounding him high In the
right shoulder. The major also hit a
lioness. The natives also fired their old
fashioned guns, and 1t was thought
safe to descend the trees for a con-
sultation and search for the wounded
quarry. The lioness appeared and ran
for a shikari, but the major fired ana
dropped her dead. Then there was
nause for drinks. and the party began
to follow the lions trail down the nullah
for a mile or so. Now and then the
party ascended trees to keep a look
out, and at last the party came into a
clearing, with waist high grass In
stead Of trees.
Suddenly there was a roar, ana the
lion dashed out, making straight for
the major, who fired one shot, just
grazing the breast. simultaneously
there was a struggling cloud OF dust
in which the natives say they saw the
lion beat the major down with a blow
of his paw. Capt. Foljarnbe fired. MT du
Boulay ran up and fired point blank
at the lions heart; a native nreo
into its hindquarters. while others ciuD-
bed 1t with rife butt and swords. The
major was found to be dead. The BODY
was carried on a charpoy by torcn-
light and conveyed back to Rajkote oy
special train, and the shock caused by
the news throughout the Junagadh dis
trict was intensely felt.
It Is added that the lion measured
eleven feet from tip to tail. The others
shot were two lions, rather less IN
size, and a lioness (the major's) OF nine
feet.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE LARGE PARTY WAS THERE-No'
long before his death Thomas B. Reed
visited some friends at their summer
residence at Watch Hill, r. /. Late
in the afternoon he was driven up to
Westerly to take the o'clock train
for Boston. 1t was warm evening
the horses Jagged. and he missed the
train, the last Boston bound train
stopping at Westerly that night.
AS Mr.. Reed had an important en-
gagement in Boston early the next
day he seemed worried until he learn
ed that there was a Boston express
which passed Westerly at 9 o'clock
Then he smiled.
Going to the telegraph office he di-
rected a telegram to the superintend-
ent Of the road in Boston, and sent
the following message:
''Will you stop the o'clock express
at Westerly tonight for a large party
for Boston?"
The answer came: "Yes. Will stop

Mr.. Reed read the message, and
smiled. When the train pulled in Mr.
Reed quietly started to board it, when
the conductor said: Where Is that
large party we were to stop for?"
IT am the large party" replied Mr.
Reed, and he boarded the train

One of the compensations.

Four years ago Marshall, who Is
a night worker, was far out on the
South Side, according to the Chica-
go Record Herald. AS he got off the
car he noticed a blind man feeling
his way along with the aid of cane.
Though he was in a hurry he turned
back.

The man with good eyes led the
other safely to the sidewalk.
Thank you. sir, said the Dina
man. May / ask your name?
Marshall, and may / ask yours

They talked for a few minutes.
Then the blind man said:
Il must get along now. They Will
be waiting for me at home.
Shall / go with you?" volunteered
the Samaritan.
"Oh, no, ii Is not necessary. God
provides a guardian for me at nearly

Tapping his cane on the sidewalk
he walked away.

as he turned away. He was so en-

he nursed a bruised knee.

THE SETTLING UP IS CERTAIN.

You may take the world as 1t comes
And you will be sure to find,
That fate will square the accounts she
owes,
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that a man has
done,
BY whatsoever induced,
Return at last to him, one by one,
AS the chickens come home to roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch
and save
While your boarded wealth expands,
Till the cold, dark shadow OF the
grave
Is nearing your life's last sands:
You will have your balances struck
some night,
And youIl find your hoard reduced,
You'll view your life In another light,
When the chickens come home to
roost.
You can stint your soul and starve
your heart
With the husks of a barren creed,
But Christ will know II you play q
part,
VIII know in your hour Of need;
And then as you wait for death to
come
What hope can there be reduced
From a creed alone? You Will lie
there dumb
While your chickens come home to
roost.
Sow as you will, there's a time to
reap,
For the good and the bad as well
And conscience. whether we wake OF
sleep
Is either a heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find Its place,
And every passion loosed
Drifts back and meets you face te
face.
When the chickens come home te
roost.
Whether you're over or under the
sod,
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the hand OF GOD;
You must bear your sin or shame.
No matter what's carved on marble
slab,
When the items are all produced,
You'll find that st. Peter was keep
Ing tab,
And that chickens come home te
roost.

GREED AND WAR.
People Force Their Rulers Into War
For Aggrandizement.

Wars between states are not fire.
quent and are decidedly shorter-we
could hardly, for instance, think Of a
hundred years war, and doubt the pos
sibility of a war lasting a generation
but the conduct Of the people In respect
to war shows definite retrogression.
The evil spirit of the old ruling class
with it's ambitions and its thirst for
aggrandizement, has spread downward
almost to the bottom. The peoples are
hungering for plunder as much as ever
the old kings and mobiles did. They
want more trade. they say, and by
trade they mean more conquered mark

That Is what the Germans mean when
they urge their government to risk a
war for the sake Of ascendency in Mo-
rocco, and so to place their people "in
the sunshine;" that is what all the sac
rlfices for a great fleet mean in the
same country, and the eager applause
Of q sovereign who has an ambitious
Weltpolitik: that is what the French
mean when they seek aggrandizement
In Western Africa: and that Is what
we mean when we fret in a rather
feeble way because our rivals contend
successfully against us In securing
commercial custom. 1t Is true we do
not try to monopolize, but part, at least
Of that forbearance arises from pro-
found and usually true conviction that
fire trade helps us to make profit In
all markets.
This passion for more profit Is the
root of the present restless jealousy
under which every nation suspects its
neighbor and begs of its government to
obtain more territory in which subject
populations can be compelled to buy
its goods. Sometimes this passion
shows itself in rather base. as well as
foolish forms, the governments being

this pressure exceedingly; 1t seems to

A WHISTLER SToRY.-A friend of the
late James Mcneil Whistler saw him or
the street In London, few years ago
says Harper's Weekly. talking to a
very ragged little newsboy.
AS he approached to speak to the
artist, he noticed that the boy was as
dirty specimen Of the London New
sy" as he had ever encountered-he
seemed smeared all over-literally COW
cred with dirt.
Whistler had just asked him a ques-
tion, and the boy answered:
Yes. sir. I've been selling papers
three years"
How old are you?" inquired Whist
ler
Seven, sir"
"Oh, you must be more than that"
No, sir, amt"
Then turning to his friend who had
overheard the conversation. Whistler
said, II don't think he could get that
dirty in seven years, do you?"

FAMOUS MONKEY TRAINER.
Greatest In His Line, Suocumbs to Ex'
cessive Heat.

eessive Heat.
Among the deaths In New York from
the fierce heat was one Jake Cook, who
gained much celebrity as a monkey
trainer, he being attached to the ZOO
logical gardens. New York papers de-
vote considerable space to what he ac-
complished in his peculiar field. The
Sun says:
Wide fame as a monkey trainer
came to Cook a dozen years later. In
1885 the American minister to Portu-
gal purchased from some Lascar SAIL
ors, returned from the East Indies, a
three-year- chimpanzee and pre-
sented 1t to the park department OF
this city. Placed under Cooks direc-
ton this animal became the most IA
nous educated chimpanzee Of the day
Cook named his new pet Mr.. Crow
ley. He found him wonderfully tract
able animal and made him more like
human kind than any other beast had
ever been. In his table manners, par
ticularly, Mr. Crowley shone. He would
sit down at the table with Cook, ar
range his napkin. carve the viands with
his knife. use his fork properly, drink
from a glass, and at the end Of the
meal clink glasses with Jake In a toast
Mr.. Crowley had a large wardrobe and
dressed himself with as great ease as
any man. In addition Cook taught him
to perform any number Of gymnastic
stunts.
Four years after Mr.. Crowley's arri-
val Kitty Crowley appeared on the
scene. She was a three-year-old Chin
panzee bought from wild animal
dealer of Hamburg, Germany. Within
the three months before her arrival
Cook had lost his first wife and two
children. The attention and affection
he had bestowed on them he now gave
unreservedly to Mr.. Crowley and Kit
ty. Were either of them sick, he would
spend the entire night sleeping by Its
cage with an alarm clock to arouse
him hourly. All the delicacies obtain
able he would give the patient with
Its medicine. Oranges. broth. eggs,
port wine, milk punches, champagne
nothing was too good 1t didn't mat
ter II he did pay for many Of these lux
uries from his own pocket He was
bound that his invalids should have as
good treatment as any sick man In the
world. They got it.
Kitty used to cry when Cook left
her. She was exacting and demanded
much of his time. Once he forgot to
say Good by. Kitty" as was his Gus
tom, and she grabbed his hand and bit
to the bone. The attack was inspired
by jealousy and Cook knew 1t. He did
not use a whip on her-he never did
with any Of the monkeys-but simply
turned to her and said:
why did you do that, Kitty?"
In speaking of the incident, Cook
used to say that Kitty knew he was
speaking In a kindly tone and that
she ran to him and groveled at his
feet. exhibiting unmistakable signs OF
repentance.
Mr.. Crowley, despite the utmost
care, died in 1890. Kitty was never
the same afterward, and In the next
year she was taken with her last ILL.,
ness. Cook was sleeping outside the
cage. She called to him, he said, and
he awoke to find her with her arms
outstretched to him through the bars
He went into the cage, took her In his
arms and held her until she died.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEw.-Florence
Kelley, the secretary of the National
Consumers League, has at heart the
welfare of factory workers, and in her
study Of factory conditions has made
many odd friends, and heard many
whimsical remarks, says the Minneap-
oils Journal.
1--WE often ask" she said the other
day, why women dress-whether \
Is to please the men. or to please the
women. There seem to be only these
two motives for fine dressing, but this
morning a third motive was pointed
out to me.
1.-TWO girls stood at a cop-winding
machine in a spinning mill. talking
about clothes.
1.-The new white dress Of yours,
said the first girl. will never please
the men,
1.-The other. tossing her head. re-
piled:

men, but to worry other women.

THE LONGEST LAwsUIT.-A lawsuit
which makes Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce
seem like a summary proceedings IS
still pending In Spain. and Is propapiy
the longest suit In point or time IN
the history of the world. The case
which Is between the MARQUIS de vi
ana and the Count Torres de Cabrera
began In 1917, and arose out or a dis
pute over a pension. The sum In con-
troversy would have reached fabulous
millions, had not four centuries or at
torneys, barristers and court oficials
taken considerate and effectual meas
ures to prevent its attaining unWieloy
proportions. In 1871 the case was
deemed just about ripe for decision.
but for one reason or another II mas
been continuously postponed. How
ever, the judges have now become ap-
prehensive lest the case run over into
its fifth century. and. as this might re-
fleet upon the promptitude of Spanish
procedure. word has gone forth that
the wheels of justice are to be accei-
Grated to a burst of speed that Will Sc
cure the giving of judgment within
period not to exceed two years.
