asked the cowboy how much more
rope there was left, and was told about
ten feet, so he told them to let up a
minute until the driver drove the cage
up to point on the rock not far from
where the lion would come out, and
when the cage was ready and the door
open, so the lion could see a goat
tied in the cage eating hay Pa said
to the men to give a few more jerks,
and by gosh pretty soon the lions
head and neck came out of the hole,

NAL ever saw, and the men looked
scared.
The lion was bracing with his front
feet, and using all kinds of language,
but Pa was the coolest man in the
bunch. Now let him rest a minute 2

Pa took out bag of tobacco and a
piece Of paper and rolled a cigarette,
and lit it, and we looked at Pa in ad-
miration for his nerve.
After putting his cigarette a little,
and looking to see IL the cage was
entirely right, he ordered the men who
were not pulling on the rope to line
up in two lines from the hole to the
cage like the honorary pail bearers at
funeral, and told them not to move
until the lion was in the cage, and
when they were all in place, Pa said,

1T MADE A DIFFERENCE

A Chinaman of noble birth had been
invited to dine at Williams home. His
mother was very anxious that the
guest should not be made uncomfort-
able by the little chaps curiosity, so
she took him aside and explained all
about the yellow skin. long braid of
hair and almond eyes or the Mongoli-
ans, and even showed him pictures
OF Chinese. She impressed upns him
more than anything else the fact that
the visitor was his fathers friend and

SOME MASCULINE ECULIARITIES.
1t is a refreshing relief from the
continuous harping on woman's incon-
sistencies-the eternal feminine" as
the poets love to phrase ito have
the emphasis laid for once on the
peculiarities of the masculine mind
If women are enigmas, 1 don't know
what you would call the men," said
Mrs. James E. Armstrong of Brooklyn
after her husband had eloped with a
17-year-old girl, leaving her to support
their two children as best she could.
I'VE lived happily for fifteen years
and then he suddenly leaves me with
that slip of girl The woman may
be pardoned for speaking somewhat
bitterly. 1t is indeed an enigma why
a presumably respectable business
man past the age of wild oats and
youthful restiveness could succumb so
completely to temptation that, once
accepted, practically strips him bare
of everything decent men are sup
posed to hold dear

WORD FROM THE JUNGLE.

We have been inclined to think thai
the stories emanating from Nairoba
. of the depreciation among the fauna
of Africa were overdrawn. A lior
every day for breakfast seemed toe
many, to say nothing of lions be-
tween meals and with CRATES, hip
popotami and different kinds OF
''beestes' for dessert.
According to the Nairoba reports
Mr.. Roosevelt has never missed a shot
and never but in one instance has
he found it necessary to employ a
second cartridge
We are glad for the sake of the
wild animals of Africa, and it COM
ports with our sense of proportion,
that Mr.. Roosevelt has entered a
strenuous and general denial of the
reports that have been sent out from
that Mole st. Nicholas of the Smith
sonian Institutions expedition in Brit.
ish East Africa
Those imaginative correspondents
may have been only intending to cater
to public curiosity and to whet TO
keener edge, but they were doing
something more. They were making
a joke of Col. Roosevelt's hunting trip
and were laying the foundation for
a worldwide disappointment when the
intrepid hunter should return to civ
ilization and state over his own au-
thoritative signature precisely how
many lions had fallen before the I'M
erring rifles of himself and Kermit.
Before setting out on his trip and
after his arrival at Mombasa, Mr.
Roosevelt through the Associated
Press warned the world that whatever
news that might reach it of his
achievements in the jungle would be
falsehood since there were to be no
correspondents with his party and that
all information was to be withheld
from those who were waiting at the
nearest point to the scene of ac-
tivity to fitch such news as might be
picked up.

HOSPITALITY OF RESIDENTS
 MAKES TRIALS ENJOYABLE

In connection with fine trials of the Southern Field Trials Club at Leto- hatchie. an important part was con tributed by L. E. Rogers MT. Mitchell and Mir. Farrier and other citizens of that place toward the success of the trials. Genuine Southern hospitality, far-famed and renowned. was exempli- fed by every citizen of Letohatchie and vicinity to a most marked degree.
 The field trial grounds were pro- nounced by pr. w. A. Brylette of The American Review and MT. A. F. Mock walt of The Sportsmen's Review, as being superb in every appeIlation of the term. Most certainly the mounts that were ridden during the trials were the very best seen on the field trials circuit this year.
 Many labor under the false impress sion that much game is killed during field trials. This is a mistake, for not a single gun was fired. nor was soli- tary bird killed during the process of holding the field trials
 The officers off, the Southern Field Trials Club expressed themselves espe- cially and particularly grateful to the excellent citizens of Letohatchie for the very important and conspicuous part they played in making the field trials a success.

MEN AND THINGS
 ATSTATE CAPITOL
Plead For Pardons.

Fearful women. grave old men and stolid lawyers were visitors to Gov ernor Comer's office. Friday, pleading for pardons for kinsmen or clients who are confined in States prisons.
 The petitioners were more than usu- ally numerous Friday. Christmas Is near. and there is not a convict, no matter what his term or his offense, who does not entertain some degree of hope that Christmas will bring him freedom.
 The Governor weighs carefully the evidence in each case, and however much the heart is touched by the pe- titions--and 1t is certain that he is af- fected by his callers-it Is from the head that direction comes in pardon matters.

 On June g, nitrate of soda was drili- ed in the scrape furrows of every oth- CT middle. It was then covered with a turning blow. Mir. vann used in this process 250 pounds of nitrate of soda Peas were scattered and tho middles were broken out lightly with turn ing blow.
 On June Is. the other middies in the field were treated exactly the same way, and 250 pounds of nitrate of soda was used in the process. One bushel of peas was used on the entire acre. With this the corn was 'laid by.
 On June the corn was from three to four feet high. On June fifteen it was from four to five feet high. It had begun to tassei and ears were forming on the stalk. The average of the entire field was at least an ear and half to the stalk.
 Mir. Vann endeavored to put his rows six feet apart, but he laid off the field without measurment and he found later that the rows were near CT 1-2 feet than 6 feet At one time the stalks looked red and sfckly as though they were .'burning." but in time they became strong and vigor- ous. though not so high as the stalks grown under the old method.
 The Williamson method was also tried on the Experiment Station Farm of the Southeast Alabama Agricultur- al School by the agricuiturist profess sor, J. B Espy. He planted an acre according to the williamson method and one according to the government demonstration method. Both raised exceptionally large crops. although the government acre exceeded the Williamson acre somewhat But Pro lessor Espy is impressed, by the VII Hanson method and thinks 1t will do good in the education fof the farmer to growing more corn
