The Dirty Drinking Cups.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
state board OF health has started a
good thing in the proposed abolition
of the common drinking, cup. How
vulgar it is for hundreds of people, in
the course of a day, to use the same
drinking cups, without so much as a
rinsing. AS an institution of filth the
average water can in a day passenger
coach is almost the limit, but the use
of one cup for all adds to the filth
.iness of the whole thing. They
might as we'll have one toothpick for
a whole car load as one drinking cup.
The individual drinking cup is the
institution of civilized and refined
people Cups can now be cheaply
made of parafine and other mater
ials. Every one who travels should
possess himself of an Individual cup

of contagious of all kinds, from the
white plague to the black plague.
But what applies to railroad cars
applies also to other places. At city
wells, in hotels and other places, a
drinking cup in common is used.
The whole filthy habit ought to be
discarded.

to tell of facing lions with a small
caliber military rifle, an adventure to
thrill army sportsman.
In the first place, scouting played a
very prominent part in the prelimin-
aries to major operations.
This scouting, to be successful, ne
cessitated ones going with the very
slenderest escort-frequently with
one man only, to look after the horses,
and for long distances away from our
main body, into the districts occupied
by the enemy and by big game. Thus,
one was thrown entirely on ones own
resources, with the stimulating knowl-
edge that if he did not maintain suf-
f1cient alertness of observation and
action, he stood very good chance,
indeed, not only of failing to gain in
formation which you were desired to
seek, but also of getting himself wiped
out, and left in stress on the veldt.
"Spooring," or tracking, was our
main source OF guidance and informa.
ton and night the cover under which
we were able to make our way about
the enemy's country with impunity.
The pleasures of the pursuit of
game were all the more enhanced by
the knowledge that the meat was
really necessary to us, and especially
by the fact that we often carried out
our sport at the risk of being our
selves the quarry of some sneaking
band of rebel warriors.

when the nine arose and yawned and
stretched their massive jaws and
limbs, the patrol, remembering the
old, maxim concerning the relations
between discretion and valor.
changed the course of their advance
and took another line.
One time, when l was patrolling
the bank of the Shangani river with
three men, the massive form of a
lion was seen slowly moving over the
boulders of the river-bed. The cor
poral and | jumped off our horses in
moment, and fired volley deux,
at about 100 yards. One shot thudded
into him, the other striking the
ground just under his belly. He
sprang with a light bound over a
rock and disappeared from our view.
Posting one man on a high point on
the bank to watch the river-bed
and leaving the other in charge of
our horses, the corporal and l made
our way down to where we had last
seen the lion. We were armed with
Lee-Metford carbines and we turned

good running fire available should our
quarry demand it.
Meantime our main body, coming
along the opposite bank of the river,
had seen our maneuver, and an Off
Ger and one man had come down into
the riverbed from their side to help us.
Gradually and cautiously we sur
rounded the spot where we guessed
the lion to be-cautiously, at least,
as far as three of us were concerned;
the fourth, the man who had come
from the main body, was moving in a
far freer and more confident manner
than any of us could boast; he clam
bered over the rocks and sprang with
agility into the most likely corners
for finding a wounded lion lying am
pushed, and his sole weapon was his
revolver-for he was a farrier. Such
is Tommy Atkins whether it is the
outcome of sheer pluck, or of ignor-
ance, or of both combined, the fact
remains that he will sail gayly in
where danger lies, and as often as not
sail gayly out again unframed.

which the village had suffered and
the three muskets in his army were of
no avail especially as none of the Of
fcers in command could be induced
to get near enough to the bold beasts
to risk shot.
About the second hour of darkness
the cattle in the village became very
restless. The wind was from the
south and as the half full moon was SO
bright that any skulking animal near
the village would have been noticed,
Drayton and agreed that the lion was
in little cope of rocks about MALI
mile up the wind. We had not had
time before dark to examine any OF
the old spoor and knowing merely
that there was at least lioness with
cubs among the lot, we set out in
stead of waiting until they approached
the stream. Drayton carried special
$3.50 Winchester and a Parker ten
gauge, which had loaded with special
shells of deRse powder and buckshot
set in wax.
When within so yards of the koppe
a splendid animal form rose out of
the rocks and stood facing us his fore
paws on huge boulder. We were
hidden by the clumps of brush through
which we had been working and la
did not see us. Slowly and majestisN
ally he surveyed the little plain theG.
thrusting out his ponderous jaw "
tered a roar that went thunderin.,
down the reaches of moonlit silence,
1t was with difficulty that could re-
strain Drayton from risking a shot
from where we stood. The lion held
his pose and ducking under cover of
the brush and treading softly on the
sand we hurried forward to the first
ridge Of rocks. To pass these, we
must attract his notice to a certainty,
so Drayton dropped on one knee while
with every nerve tingling and my eyes
and ears astrain to catch any sign of
his mate, who might be just beyond
the ridge for all we knew, waited for
DraytOn's shot. He chose the chest
and the crash of the Winchester went
echoing among the rocks. The mag
nificent beast leaped ten feet in the
air, then came rolling, tumbling, claw
ing down our side of the koppe Ii
rectly toward us. His wounded roSar
was answered from other directors.
There were two other lions on TIE
other side of the koppe and one III
the rocks and brush not 20 yards froxl
us to the right. But we had not time
to think of them. The wounded lion
got to his feet with incredible energy
and quickness. AS he leaped, with
another roar poured both barrels of
my Parker into his body. That was
enough. He landed in commissions
and it was fortunate that he had
enough. There was crash in the

to a mortal end under the paws
of Nubian lion. 1t would be
the irony of fate, but that is what
nearly happened to me some years
ago. With perils innumerable behind
us the two white men of the party,
one gold-seeker the other a pure
adventurer of the type OF Tanner,
nearly came to an end.
We frequently left the river and
navigable tributaries which we were
working out slowly, to explore the ra-
vines for high bars, never taking with
us more than four bearers, though at
times we were absent from the main
party outfit for a fortnight, knowing
it ives entirely safe in the care of a
thin >ross-eyed Arabian ex-chasseur
who was a born voyageur with tinge
of Napoleon and the Devil and Uncle
Tom in him. He was true as salt
Arabian and the blood brother Senegal
negro are two types of dark skinned
men with whom I would as soon face
danger and difficulty as with any
white men that live.
one night We were ABOUT 10 make
camp when we encountered party of
women and girls bearing water jars
and they told us of village a mile
further on. Before we reached the
village we were met by the chief and
his induanas who begged us to make
stay with them as they were seri-
ously troubled with lions. Two of the
chiefs horses and two of his wives
had been killed among the losses

0utWitted by the Jungle King

We halted on the river-bank during
the intense heat of the day, and be-
fore resuming our march in the even
ing we sailed out once more to search
the river-bed and an islet grown with
bushes, where we hoped he might be.
And while we searched the hussar,
who had been assigned to me to hold
my horse, and who was the man who,
in the morning, had been posted to
watch the river-bed, asked: How
many lions are there supposed to be
here?" l told him "Only the one we
fired at this morning"
Whereupon he grimly said, "Oh, l
saw him go away up the river when
you went down it. He was dragging
his headquarters after him."
1t appeared that the man thought
he had been posted to guard against
surprise by an enemy, and did not
realize that we, being down among
the rocks, could not see the lion which
was so visible from his lookout place.
And so we lost that lion.

Unexpected Prize.

With a dizziness acquired by long
and patient practice the pickpocket
extracted an old but well-filled wallet
from the hip pocket of the unsuspect-
ing old gentleman with the beaming
countenance against whom he had
carelessly brushed when leaving the
street car, and on reaching a secluded
place he opened it.
The contents had been wrapped with
great care in numerous thicknesses of
blank paper. Removing the wrappings
one by one, he found in the center OF
the package a card with this inscrip-
ton upon it: Young man, Give Up
Your Career of Crime! Nothing
