RhodesIn Recommended.

If President Roosevelt should desire to go hunting big game after the ex- piration of his term he can do no better than go to RhodesIa where the inhabitants at present are having a very lively time of 1t.
 One resident G. Thomasine writes to a London paper that Hons are more numerous and daring than they have been for years. One day he was out duck hunting on the Zambesi within a mile of the Victoria Falls when three Hons espied him and gave chase. He took refuge in a tree and was compell- ed to remain there all night. as the lions kept watch underneath. It was not till we'll into the next day that he was discovered by a search party which routed the lions and released the pris- oner.
 Another exciting experience befell a transport rider who outspanned for the night on the Zambessi near Kazengula in Northwestern Rhodesia. About mid night troop of eight Hons attacked the camp and after killing two oxen and horse besides wounding i've oth CT oxen stampeded the rest.
 The lions were only beaten off by fire and this with considerable difficuI- ty and 1t took several hours to round up the frightened oxen.

The Search for Speed.

ooSlOu IEdnScrlpI.
 Between the sulky with which Flora Temple astonished the world and that Of the present year there Is as much difference as between the ne-shakinR velocipede of forty years ago and the modern bicycle evolved from It.
 Various experiments have been tried The horse was formerly in front of the axle.
 Then came the plan of arching the frame. so that his hooks, in action. would be under the drivers seat. The bike wheels were a distinct advance. but the night seat still remained until experiments with wind d-shlolds showed to what extent atmospheric pressure was a factor in making or marring records, and since the new century set in there has been a steady gain in construction.
 Not more than fifteen years ago sulky seats were as much as fifty inches from the ground. while the latest models are less than thirty, md range in weight from twenty-eight to thirty-five pounds.
 Shafts have been heightened and seats lowered, until the driver can no longer look over the back of his horse but to either side to watch the course.
 While this increases the danger, 1t reduces the pull against the wind, and is expected to be a point in favor ot the new records to be striven for this year.

 About o'clock in the afternoon the boat returned to Sutton Harbor. Rove sat upright upon a thwart, with his arms folded. gazing out beyond the bows. His son was leaning upon the &flaer steering the boat which came slowly in light breeze.
 The fishermen on the dock hailed the two men, but received no answer and neither of the figures moved the least This aroused some curiosity and a boai went alongside the little smack. Then a startling discovery was made. Rove was dead and his son appeared quite unconscious of his surroundings. like 8 man in a trance.
 Later on he was able to explain the mystery to some extent. He said that his father hove up the anchor and then dropped back Into a sitting position and never spoke or stirred again Heart failure brought on by heavy. ex- ertion and the heat was found to be the cause of death. When the son re- alized that his father had expired he said he felt like a man In a dream and he can only remember blankly steering che boat to Plymouth.

"NOBLE LADY" AS OPPRESSOR Indignation Against Cathcart Woman. HAS ISLANDERS ARRESTED They Had Made Good Homes at
 Vatersay. sufEragette. sf London Pin Badge on Rust of EngIsnd's Prime Minis
 ter--Gossip of the
nY ROBERT RRoDERICK

London, June 27.-England was spared the sight of seeing His MaJes- tvs government sending out warship to capture few poor squatters who had committed no crime except taking possession of the uninhabited island of vatersay and offering to pay the own or, Lady Gordon Cathcart. for the priv alsge of raising what little they need ed to keep themselves and their fami- lies from starvation. for the men yol- untariIy came to Edingburgh hoping to nnd justice as they had already found sympathy all over England.
 Justice indeed they did find for they were sentenced to two months in pris- on, because they would rather work for m living than become public charges, Dut be it said in justice to the English people that 1t would be hard to ind a lesa popular woman in the United Kingdom than Lady Cathcart who had never cared for or thought of her is- land possession until she found 1t was of use to somebody.
 When the men arrived at the Scotch capital they were received by cheer 4ng crowd who wished them every suc- eess. In court the prosecutor tried to make 1t appear that these unfortunate men were lawless and unprincipled and that they had seized the property of Lady Cathcart though she had always been their benefactress.
 Against this spoke the report of the sherin whose duty 1t had been to arr rast them and who testified that they were respectable. courteous intelligent and 1kfnd-hearted people. The report showed that the noble lady herself was responsible for what had happened and that 1t was her indifference to their sufEerings which had driven them to adopt desperate methods.
 IL was shown that the houses in wsa5ch they were compelled to live were dIthy and unsanitary because Lady cathcart would not spend a penny for repairs and that this had caused a ty- phus epidemic. Tn one case typhoid fe- yer broke out while the head of the family was away fishing, leaving at home his old father and mother, a daugIater of Is and four younger chil- dren. The old couple died unattended by any physician and no one would go near the house. The coftins were left near the house and the young girl had to drag them in and place the already decomposed bodies in them without any assistance.
 For twenty-five years these people Mad petitioned Lady Cathcart praying to be granted land for which they were willing to pay but she had never even answered them, although she had plenty of available land. When the men seized the island they were des- perate and saw no other way out of their misery.
 The judges were unable to see any reason for leniency but 1t is expected that the King will pardon the men and they were loudly cheered when they were taken away to prison.
 This happened in England. not in Russia!
