A YOUNG LION SLAYER.
BOer Farmer Boys Make Good Shots
On the African VeIdt.

On the African Neldt.
Three lions were killed near Piet-
ersburg. TransvaaI by the nineteen
year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a
Boer farmer It appears that young
Erasmus was on his way to the Mes
sina mine and hau outspanned his
donkey team, when his kaffir 10Y
came running to tell him that three
lions were tackling the donkeys.
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard
in the direction indicated. On his
arrival at the spot he found the
lions lying around one of the dom
keys. He fired and killed a big
liOness. The other two jumped up
but he was ready and skot another
(yOunger) lioness. The young lion
which was left ran behind some
brushwood. Erasmus first collected
his donkeys and brought them into
safety and then once more carefully
approached the scene of the fight.
In order to find out if the two lion
esses were dead he fired another shot
at one OF them. This disturbed the
surviving lion who thereupOn came
forth roaring. Erasmus was again
ready and shot him dead on the spot.
Asked by the Volkesstem correspond
ent whether he was alone at the
time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no,

Brooklyn Standard Union.-The lat
est monument to architectural skill
and to the art of advertising is pro
jected by the Equitable Life Insur
ance company. which has filed plans
for sixty-two story building On It's
property, comprising an entire block
in the heart of the business district of
lower New York. The huge structure
now covering most of the block is not
bringing in the returns that the as
sessment of the real estate warrants.
The Equitable block is regarded &c
the most valuable In the city. The
plans provided for structure which
will reach 909 feet into the air and
dwarf the Singer building, a short
distance Off The latter building is
612 feet high and the Metropolitan
Life tower, now building, Is about
fifty feet taller. Only one building
in the world, the Eiffel tower, viii
overtop the proposed Equitable sky
scraper, having a height Of 984 feet
If the Washington monument were
set upon the famous pyramid Of
Cheops, the aluminium tip of the shaft
would reach a point only 81 feet high
er than the topmost part of the pro
posed building.

MAD DOG OR MAD MAN.

The other day | went exploring in
the outskirts of East New York
Threading my way along the child
Uttered sidewalk my eye caught the
always interesting antics of small
pup-perhaps three OF four months
old-frisking among the youngsters.
A faint-hearted child afraid of the
puppy had approached and drew
back and set up cry, Abashed at
this unexpected and unusual Tecep-
ton the wagging tail was drawn be
tween his legs as the pup sided
against another kiddy looking no
doubt for fuller understanding. But
was contagious-the alarm spread i'm
simultaneously, and at once there was
a shrieking and scrambling OF terri
fed youngsters. Down the street
came a Mortified mother to raise the
cry of mad dog" and in less time
than it takes you to read this, that
erstwhile playful pup was tearing
down the street, in fright, chased by
men and boys hurting stones and
clubs past at its poor wondering lit
tie head. The pup l rescued trembling
like a leaf and scared nearly into a
fit-but the men and boys We're APP
peased only after long and patient ar
gument.
This was an actual experience and
is by no means an unusual illustra-
ton of what constantly happens. It's
the way that rs per cent of the mad
dog scares start. Scarcely a day
passes without some newspaper ac-
count of a mad dog that has been
chased to its death. Most of the mad
dogs are merely thirsty or have been
chased until they are crazed with
fright and exhaustion. We need a
little common sense in these ap-
preaching dog days, and we need
perhaps more-a little kindly
thought. If the hot days are trying to
we human beings who can make
known our wants and assuage our
thirst when we will, what must they
be to a dumb beast-the horses that
toll all day in the blazing sun-the
dogs to go unwatered for the most
part?
Have mercy. Exert your influence
to secure drinking troughs for horses
and basins for dogs in your city.
At the same time, the mad dog
when he is maids a dreadful
scourge. He is the most common dis
tributor of hydrophobia, and hydro
phobia is the most horrible disease
in the long list of diseases to which
flesh is heir. That is why the cry of
mad dog is such terror-breeder and
why there should be every precaution
for the prevention of dogs going mad,
and intelligent action in case OF at
tack.-Caspar Whitney, in Outing
Magazine.

New York. July 20.-When the Nor
wegian immigrant lands at Ellis is
land the first word of welcome and
the first glad hand is extended to him
by a representative of the United
Norwegian Lutheran church. The
newcomer is then advised as to where
to make his home and is generally
urged to come and settle down if pos
sible in the great northwest.
Circumstances are such that thou
sands of Norwegian immigrants. are
compelled to stop over in New York
City and these are taken care Of at
the several Norwegian missions there.
The hospitality and advice given in
this way to people who cannot speak
a word of English. but have come over
to find this wonderful land of easy
opportunities" cannot be overestimat-
ed.
You want some facts about Ellis
island and our work there. The gov
eminent affairs there are in charge
of Robert Watchorn, United States
commissioner of immigration. He
was once an immigrant himself, is
thoroughly competent and is loved,
that's the word, by all who are asso-
ciated with him. Over 100000 i'm
migrants arrive every year. | am

cat a recent conference at the
white house, President Roosevelt, in
referring to the development of the
immigrants who arrive in this coun-
try, said, THE Norwegians are
among our best American citizens
Mr. Tjornhom recited unfortunate
circumstances and conditions with
which the newcomers have to contend.
Many are detained in New York City.
They cannot speak a word Of Eng
lish, many are i'll or otherwise unfor
tunate, and ali are eagerly sought by
bunco men, crooks and pickpockets.
For that reason the United church
supports several missions in New
York and one in the sIums of the
city for the outcasts
At the mission meetings gather
scantily clad men, unfortunates who
have not known the luxury of bed
to sleep on for weeks, young and old
men with a months beard on their
features and poor creatures who
have not eaten satisfying meal for
months, and Sports who attend the
meetings because they have not the
price Of ferry ticket, which is one
cent.
At the mission gather the good and
the bad. the sick and the well, the
poor and the needy For that reason
the mission does a wonderful work
in practical charity. The sick are
sent to hospitals, the roGghs who
come to break up the meetings are
elected By the police, the hungry are
fed and the scantily clad are clothed.
During the first three months of this
-ear 10000 meals were furnished the
hungry and over 600 were given free
lodging.
