In Touch With a Lion.

The most uncomfortable hunting adj
venture that / ever had was during
an expedition in search of the mines
of Ophir. We did not discover them,
by the way. It was many years after
ward that Mr.. Peters found them far
Their south.
We did very little hunting on that
trip, except such as was necessary to
provide food for the party. Conse-
quently we did not disturb the game
around our camps during our stay at
any place, and the wild life of the
jungle went on freely around us.
This made the scene at the water
holes particularly interesting, and
many times / saw herds of animals
glide down to the water in the even
ing. Sometimes we saw gnu and an
telope come down, quietly as ghosts,
though there were big herds of them.
One evening l decided to spend the
night at the water hole to watch the
strange doings at my ease. | took
along my heavy rifle, in case l should
meet lion or. other cat animal, and
before dusk 1 was comfortably hidden
IN thicket right by the side of the
hole where the spoor showed that the
most animals entered to drink.
They began to arrive almost as soon
as the sun had set The first animals
that came were small gnu, very pretty
and graceful, despite the ugly hump on
their shoulders. They stepped into the

indeed, their hind quarters resembled
those of dainty little ponies very
much.
After them came a herd of zebras,
cleaning specially with their white
and black sides in the bright star
light of the African night They
tossed their little heads and snorted
wildly at every whisper of the breeze,
and though I was watching them
closely, they were off and away so
suddenly that / hardly realized that
they were going before they had van
ished.
Spring box and Gland followed with
hosts of smaller animals, many of
which moved so furtively that could
ont distinguish them.
But all at once all the beasts seemed
to fade away like a scene in a dark
ened theater. stared in amazement.
The next moment 1 became aware of
an odor close to me that / could not
mistake, for / had smelled it often.

Cautiously I turned my head in the
way the wind was blowing, and there,
within not more than 20 feet of me,
crouched great named, tawny beast.

Stop Milwaukee Northern.

Fond du Lace. d. Smith, repre-
senting the Wisconsin Rapid Transit
company of this city, has applied for a
permanent Injunction restraining the
Milwaukee Northern Railway COM
pany from continuing the work of con-
structing an electric road between
Milwaukee and Fond du Lac. The
summons and complaint have already
been served upon the defendants.
Mr. Smith alleges that his company
staked out right of way on Franklin
avenue in Milwaukee and between
Milwaukee and Fond du Lac. He
claims that the Milwaukee Northern
road has taken the precise line staked
out by his company and that the con-
struction of road by this company
will interfere with his plans. Mr.
Smith claims that his company was
the originator of the plan for the road
between the two cities.
In his complaint, Mr.. Smith prays
for a permanent injunction on the
ground that his company originated
the electric line plan; that he has al
ready staked out a right of way; has
had releases from property owners
filed in the register of deeds of office
of Milwaukee county, and that his
company proposes to build line to
cost not less than $1,200,000.

The Mills Where Uncle sa ms Postal Cards Are Made

cards. The boxes are very strong ana
are nailed together at the postal card
mill by machinery.
From Rumford Falls, which is called
the chief agency, shipments are made
to the sub-agencies, which are Wash
ington, Cincinnati, st. Louis and Troy,
N. Y.
All smaller offices in the United
States must make requisition to these
sub-agencies for cards, unless they
are in the list of cities whose bust
ness is so extensive in postal cards
as to require carloads shipments.
These are Baltimore, Pittsburg, Buff
falo, Kansas City, Brooklyn, Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit, San Francisco,
Boston and New York.
The average amount of messages
written in Boston on postal cards is
so great that two carload lots month
are required. The New York ship
ment is even larger.
There is no busy season in the card
mill. The same amount is printed
day after day. The government re-
quires that certain amount must be
kept on hand at the factory. These
are kept in a fire and burglar proof
vault which has a capacity for hold
ing 100,000,000 cards.

After the logs have been chewed up
and chemically treated the pulp flows
into a big vat called the "digester."
Here the pulp looks like rich churn-
ing, but is in reality the solution from
which the cards are made-cards that
will later carry written messages all
over the civilized world.
The wood pulp is flowed out on a
screen of such fine mesh that the
paper is long in gathering, and the
result of this more than ordinary
thorough shaking is firm, smooth
card of the familiar cream yellow,
free from inequalities of texture and
free from all flakes or shadows when
held to the light.
In the big, clean finishing room,
where the floor is Uttered with clut-
ter of book and news paper, sit a
score or more neatly attire6 women,
busy and happy, smoothing the great
sheets of book and postal stock into
piles. The least defect in the surface
is detected at once by their super
sensitive finger tips, and sheet after
sheet is rejected for a blemish invis-
IDLE save to touch.
Great trucks carry the postal paper
to the printing establishment, but be-
fore the presses are set to work each
truckful must be inspected by gov
eminent inspector. This inspector
first applies the bulk gauge, to prove
that the postal card is up to standard
in thickness.
The contract requires that each
sheet be one-eleven-thousandth part of
an inch in thickness. So if the needle
whirls around the face of the indica-
tor and stops again at 165, all is well.
The second requirement is that every
sheet shall endure the test of so
pounds pressure to the square inch.
So into the strength tester goes the
sheet from the truck load, the pres
sure is applied and the indicator
shows the value of the sheet
The blind mans test" or German
test, is the third to prove that the
surface of the card is properly resined,

Kenosha Church Celebrates.

Kenosha.-The German Lutheran
church here celebrated it's golden jubi-
lee, and hundreds of Lutherans from
all parts of Wisconsin came to the
city to attend the different services
held in commemoration of the jubilee.
The principal speakers were the Rev.
E. F. Dornfeld, of Milwaukee, a for
mer pastor of the church, who
preached the jubilee sermon in the
morning, the Rev. William Stress
guth of Milwaukee, the Rev. Phillip
Bremen of Reedsville, Prof. August
PEPPER of Milwaukee, the Rev. Theo-
dore Volkerts of Waukegan, and the
Rev. Carl Buenger, pastor of the
church. During the day it was an
nounced that the congregation was
planning for the erection of a splen-
did new church, which it is thought
will be erected before the close of an
other year.

ton of vigorous pen and ink. Should
the ink be absorbed, the surface Is
inferior in it's glaze. When the mark
ings are plainly apparent to the
touch with blind eyes," the calender
ing is satisfactory.
Each sheet of stock fed into the
printing press is registered automat"
icalIy, so that an exact tally can be
kept of all cards printed.
The two presses have united ca
pacity of 100000 cards daily.
AS the cards are printed in big
sheets the next thing to do is to cut
them out the right size. There are
four cutting machines. One cuts
them into long strips, one postal card
in width. The three smaller ma
chimes cut the strips into the postal
cards of regulation size as we buy
them at the post Offices.
Three alert young women feed
these strips into the cutters. When
25 cards are bitten off by the sharp
knives of the machine, the receiving
rack is turned over and the quarter
hundred cards are bound into packet
with gummed paper strip.
The girls who gum the packages
together have to be very spry. With
a dozen gummed strips held between
their lips, their trained fingers hover
over the straight edged packs OF pos
tai cards like humming birds, till
with a dash and a futter the band is
in place and a second packet is In
readiness for a band.
One young woman is behind each
machine to box these packets, and
others are kept busy folding the paste
board boxes in which they are packed,
500 cards being placed in box.
The pasteboard packages are placed
in wooden boxes of different sizes.
They hold 5000, 10000 and $4,000

Considered from the standpoint of
the individual, the postal card is such
an insignificant bit of pasteboard, that
few stop to think what Uncle Sans
postal card business in the total
amounts to. Millions of them! Tons
upon tons of them Train load af-
ter train load of them And where
do they all come from? From Maine.
While the small oblong piece of
cardboard, which presents the easiest
way of communication through the
mails, is rarely considered as a prod
uct, the fact of the matter is that
carloads upon carloads go to the chief
cities Of the country. Cities like Bos-
ton and New York use on an average
more than two carloads Of postal cards
a month, and the making Of the card
board, the printing and the cutting
are all done in Maine. At Rumford
Falls this one product forms one of
the great INDUSTRIES of the place, and
it will continue to be so for at least
the next folsr years for the govern
ment contract for the manufacture
of these POSTAL cards has just been
again awarded to the paper company
there.
Under the previous contracts there
were manufactured during the pre-
ceding four years 3,200,000,00O postal
cards and 6O,0OO,OOO were made dur
ing the month of June last.
There pass through Boston daily in
registered mail cars 100000 postal
cards on their way from Rumford
Falls, Me-, to the sub-agencies scat
tered over the country.
The cards may be said to be entire
ly Maine product. The logs are
taken directly from the Maine spruce
forests and chemically transformed
into the pulp from which the postal
paper is made at the Oxford mill.

Two good stories are told of a little
English girl:
She was riding with her aunt out
side one of the electric trans. AS it
was proceeding at a good pace down
a steep declivity the aunt was obvi-
ousIy a little nervous. The child, OBJ

Tow Half 4 Boat to Port

Superior.-The spectacle of half
boat coming into the harbor was wit
messed here when the after end of the
steamer Lafayette was towed into
port by the tug Zenith.
The Lafayette was one of the Steel
trust boats which went ashore in the
big storm of last fall. She was brok-
en- in two parts and one member of
her crew was drowned. No attempt
was made to save the forward end Of
the Lafayette, but bulkhead was
built across the after end and it was
then pumped out. 1t was towed to SUI
perior.
The feat is said to be the first of it's
kind ever accomplished. The ma
chinery of the Lafayette, which was
saved, will be put into her consort, the
Manila, converting her from barge
to a steamer
