LION AFRAID OF THE OSTRICH
King OF Beasts Inferior to Bird In
Fighting Qualities.


There is only one thing of which the
lion Is afraid, according to Schillings,
the young German African traveller,
and that Is the ostrich. The bird Ia
more feet than the quadruped, and 1t
can deliver its terrible kick with the
precision and impact of a pugilist's
blow and spring away till it gets an.
other opening. Such tactics naturally
disgust the superior being. The lion
has a weakness, however, for ostrich
eggs and will make a meal of them
whenever the vigilance of the parent
birds is relaxed. Schillings saw lion
once with the tempting pile of eggs
before him, and he was about to re-
gale himself when the owners Of the
property appeared and the beast skunk
of like whipped cur. Schillings con-
siders 1t is an open question whether
the hunting of the lion, leopard, buffa.
10, elephant or rhinoceros is the most
dangerous. On the whole, however,
he thinks that if he were hunting
without supporting rifles in the hands
OF really great hunters he would
rather take his chance with any of
them than with the rhinoceros. This
animal is remarkably fleet, consider
Ing it's bulk, and when it makes a
charge it is next to impossible to get
away from it. Then is the time when
a comrade with good gun and steady
nerve is needed to distract the ami.
mails attention.

Pointer for Business Men,

Don't talk about your business with
those who are not genuinely and sym.
pathetically interested. You will gain
nothing by talking to the casual &C.
quaintance; on the contrary, some
part of your pet scheme will be given
to the world, some part of. your
strength will be expended without
profit. If you have firm purpose in
life, conviction or an ambition, don't
talk about it to every new conner,
The idea or the purpose loses strength
by doing this. Watch out for those
who are really Internationally
Scotsman.

But is this description not exactl,
and strangely in accord with the tone
from the modern horn, the horn will
which the jubilant man and youth
woman and girl, of this period give
vent to their joy at the birth of tn.
Christian new year?
Try as you will, you can get moth
ing but piercing, shrill or inharmon
ious tone from the tin instrument an6
like the ancient shophar, it's tones are
! unmusical, having neither range or
compass If needed for such a pur.
pose, however, it's blasts from the
summit of Twin Peaks would summon
multitude that would comport itself
according to the import of the occas-
ion.
In Numbers, chapter xxx: 1, we
find an injunction as to the use of the
trumpet.
Therein the people are commanded
on the first day of the seventh month
to hold "an holy convocation," to do
no servile work, it being "a day of
blowing Of trumpets unto you"-a
feast of the trumpets.
Here is demonstrated the giving up
of all labor and indulging the tones of
the shophar as heard in the syna-
gogues to this day on like festival.
The skeptic may say that to-day's
outpcurings of joy lack thought, are
INDUCED without the slightest religious
sentiment, have no relationship with
the very same movements and same
trumpetings that characterized the
day when the law was given from
Mount Sinai, those periods when joy
and victory and holy festival influ-
enceu the early peoples of the earth.
Who will say that there is no feeling
of thankfulness in the hearts of the
nation when, with horn ALLOWING
and flags waving, it gives vent to tbs
joy over victory or any great national
event?
The ancient New Years service, OBJ
served in the synagogues even at this
period, is considered one of the most
in the Jewish liturgy. It is
composed of three parts, which refer,
respectively, to the sovereignty, JUS
tice and mercy of God and as each
part is concluded the shophar is
sounded from the pulpit.
The first part, "Malchioth," pro-
claims God the universal king.
The second part, "Zichronoth," en-
phasizes that God remembers the
work of the world and visits all Great
lres and that nothing remains con-
,ealed from his eyes"
The last part, "Shopheroth," speaks

s Thousands of Centuries Re-Echo
i'm the Blowing of Horns To-Day 5


Blowing of horns on occasions O
Joy and festivity has grown to be al
established institution in the Unite,
States. Whether the custom as prac
tlced is strictly in musical accord will
the harmonious feelings of a people
who in one voice indulge celebration
which affects all alike is another mat
ter.
While the custom of horn blowine
Is growing, few of the old heads stoI
to think of it's origin, and the youth
ful celebrant little dreams that it is
all tradition; that in those reveling
sounds which escape neither nook nor
corner, loft nor cellar, are the echoes
re-echoed from thousands of centuries
ago-that momentous period in the
worlds spiritual and material history
when the blasts from the rams horn
(shophar) proclaimed from Mount
Sinai the giving Of the Ten Command
ments to the end of time.
The first mention of it is in the Old
Testament at the giving of the law:
And all the people saw the thunderings.
and the lightnings, and the noise of the
trumpet.-Exodus, Xx:1S.
AS the sound of the horn signaled
the giving of the law which was to
lead mankind and stand for lifes
moral and spiritual obligations along
the ages, the multitude bowed with
feelings of awe and humility.
The sounds We're new to the ears
Of the people who listened to their
echoes along the mountain, wondering
at the distant tone repetitions.
And when the people saw it, thew re-
moved and stood afar off. And they said
unto Moses Speak thou with us. and we
VIII hear; but let not God speak with u.s.
lest we die"
The fear then in the hearts of the
multitude was significant. They real
lied the import of the occasion, which
had been signaled by the blasts of
the horn. So, from the very first in
PRODUCTION of the instrument its
sounds have generally had a signif.
cant meaning and purpose.
How well one can picture the scene
at Mount Sinai when the people trem-
bled and stood afar off when Moses
bade them to fear not; that God had
come to prove them and that his fear
might be before their faces that thew
sin not.
The sounding of the horn on an o.
casion so prolific with divinely poten.
tial Incidents naturally brought the in.
strument into use and prominence
Turing special spiritual exercises and
celebrations, but later it's brazen notes
we're heard in time of war.
They were also heard in times of
extreme jubilation and in the temples
# the Jews on their days of rejoicing
Ind on the day of atonement.
In Leviticus, XIV: 8. is found the
GLOWING:
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of
he jubilee to sound on the tenth day of
he seventh month. in the day Of atone
nent shall We make the trumpet sound
throughout all your land.
And even in this age of advanced
bought" the Jew, following com.
nandment and the voice of tradition
ssembles in his temple to hear the
ound from the shophar
What effect must such tones issuing
rom holy place have upon the
carer? They are not musical sounds,
Or their loud, piercing notes, with no
ange or compass, have never been
,und adaptable to concerted music. |

money? The answer is. from his ten
ants. What are his tenants doing?
Wen, in the store rooms, there is
a grocery. bakery and clothing
store. In the offices on the different
floors, there are lawyers, doctors and
insurance agents. The grocer gets
his money from the people, who pay
for what they eat; so does the baker.
The clothing dealer gets his money
from those who buy clothing of him.
These people are the consumers of
food and clothing. The lawyers up
stairs get their money out of their
clients. who either earn the money
they pay for their trouble, or get it
out of those who do. The doctors
get their money from their patients.
The insurance men get their money
from those who insure their proper
ty. 1t is evident from this that the
consumer pays the taxes.
The price of every commodity that
is sold as an article of merchandise,
includes the cost of storing, handl-
ing and selling il. Into every mer-
camille transaction there is counted
the cost of the landlords rent. Every
person who buys any one of these
things has paid a portion of the taxes
that the landlord is assessed by the
laws of the state under the adminis-
tration of the assessor.
1t is the consumer who pays the
taxes, every cent. And down under
meath the entire army of consumers
there stands with shoulders bent to
their tasks, the men whose manual
labor produces the necessities of life;
they are the people who pay the
taxes, for into every item that he
consumes is finally charged the cost
of the use of all property, and into
this cost, is included the taxes.

WHO PAYS THE TAXES?

Every now and then one hears of

there is a special class of people who
pay taxes, and another class who do
not. This is a mistaken idea, says
the Seattle Mail and Herald.
1t is false conception of the way
taxes are paid. The idea seems to be
that the man who goes up to the city
or county treasurer's office and there
leaves his check or his cash, and car
ries away a tax receipt for the public
obligation charged against him, is
the taxpayer. Is this the man?
