ROOSEVELT HAS SUCCESS
HUNTING WILD ANIMALS

there is good game shooting. Sportsmen
recently came into Nyeri from Mweru
(Which is less than a days march OF
Nyeri), who had encountered a charging
man-eater lion. a charging rhino and an
elephant all within 20 PAGES OF each otn-
err. He shot the lion dead with his first
shot and then the rhino charged and fell
dead to a good shot. Then, to his amaze
ment, a bull elephant appeared and he
shot It dead.
SOME FINE ADVENTURES.
Many strange things happen on the
chase in British East Africa When Mr..
seIous and Mr.. Mcmillan were out in
this district, accompanied by Judd. the
professional hunter, they were after lions
one day and Judd was following Mr.. Sc
lous on a mule. Suddenly his mule near
ly stepped on a huge lion and as the
mule swerved, Judd fired from his hip
with the rife and almost simultaneously
the mule bucked him off and he landed
almost touching the lion. He prepared
to make a fight for his life, but to his
surprise the lion did not move. Then he
suddenly realized that the lion was dead.
He got up and Inspected 1t and found
that his shot had entered the eye and
killed 1t instantly. without leaving
mark on the skin. w. Macmillan has
taken the skin home to have 1t set up.
On the Mwru to Nyeri road. man-eat-
ing lions have been playing havoc with
the governments safaris Grains Of por-
tiers on FOOT, and traders safaris, so that
at least the government was forced to
close the road TO traffic. 1t is esti-
mated that some hundred native men.
women and children have lost their lives
to these man-eaters and so If Colonel
Roosevelt does kill them he will have
done the community special service.

CATCHES TURNIP TOSSED
FROM A DIZZY HEIGHT

After being battered in the face several
times by rutabaga turnips tossed from the
18th story of the Fourth National Bank
building, Bedini the famous Juggler,
headliner at the Orpheum theatre this
week, caught the fifth turnip on two
pronged fork held between his tightly
clinched teeth, winning two suits OF
clothes from Lucien York, a well-known
Atlanta citizen.
Miss Lillian Shaw, also of the Orpheum.
a southpaw of note, was scheduled to
toss the turnips from the high window In
the bank building, but decided that the
weather was so cold that she would be
little wild, so Arthur, Bedints partner
did the hurting stunt.
Several Of the rutabagas tossed from the
building went wild. One was caught up
on the fork, but was broken BY the force
of the fall and didn't count
Bedini got under another one but 1t
missed the fork and caught the juggler
squarely in the face.
When the fifth turnip, tightly wrapped
with cord to prevent 1t breaking into
pieces, was deftly speared by the fork
thunder Of applause from the threats of
several hundred spectators greeted the
remarkable feat.
= Lucien York loses two suits Of clothes,
one to the performer, himself and anoth-
er to Hugh Cardoza, manager OF the Or
pheum, but Bedini feels that the $50 suits
were certainly we'll earned.
He stated after the feat that he would
probably never try 1t again as the game
wasn't worth the CANDLE, Besides the
square blow in the face the impact OF
the turnip on the fork played havoc with
his teeth.
Crowds began gathering at the corner
~ Peachtree and Marietta about Is min
utes to u and by noon, when the stunt
was scheduled. about 500 people had gath
cred. The crowd around Bedini was so
dense that it took the police several min
utes to clear sufficient space to make the
