him when the dragon on which I was
riding slipped out of his skin and left
me floating in midair. While I was
considering how should get down, a
bull with two heads peered over the

brakeman came in, and I asked him

all the scent, so that the dogs could
make nothing OF it, and l therefore
reluctantly gave up further pursuit.
Away to the east some antelope were
visible, nearly against the bush belt
lining the river, but as l had left my
glass in the wagon, could not make
out just what they were. l thought
would try and get one, however, in
order to use it as bait in a good
position, considerably nearer the
wagon, in hopes that the lion might
return and give me chance of shot
under more favorable conditions. So
went back for my horse, and leaving
the dogs behind set out towards the
herd which l had now made out to be
hartebeeste. The simmer of the heat
on the veldt is the most trying to the
sight and often misleads even the
experienced eye. Objects assume
quite different aspects and coloring.

so brightly-marked an animal as the
zebra would always be discernible on

Bilious People
 Try It Free

Do not ignore the little disorders" of the system. The liver, for example, is particularly needful little organ, but must be active to be of any use. When it is active 1t creates gastric juices that help to make digestion perfect, and then you are well. When it is not active it becomes what is known as torpid" and promptly pro- duces biliousness.
 There Is no better cure for biliousness or any of the symptoms of liver trouble than Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful laxative tonic of which so much praise is heard. It is pleasant to take (un- like pills and powders and such things) and acts very gently, moving the bowels without griping, toning the stomach and arousing the liver to activity, thus scien- tifcally curing such conditions as bilious ness, torpid liver, foul breath, sallow or pmply complexion. sick headache, con- stipation, loss of appetite, indigestion. stomach nervousness, etc, all of which are due to a slow liver.
 Mack Clark, of Burlington Ky, suffered for five years from biliousness and cured himself with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Noah B. Hatfield, of Zalma, Mo-, found 1t the best medicine in the world for his bliousness.

March 15, 1859, and at threeScore and ten is able to under take tramp that few young men would think themselves fit to finish. But he was not a very vigorous youth. He took up walking in order to benefit his health. It agreed with him so wei! that he made more or less of voca- ton of it. At rwCnty-twO he walked from Boston to Washington to witness the first inauguration of Abraham Lin roln That was quite q stunt for those. days. He made the 4j3 miles in POS hours. It was in 1867 that he walked from Portland, Me, to Chicago and by this performance won international rep utatiOn as q pedestrian. He made the trip in 25 days and 23 hours, and when in 1907, forty years later, he proposed to repeat the performance there were many who doubted whether he could make good He not only did as we'll as when he was a comparative youth of twenty-nine, but he reached Chicago ahead of schedule time and beat his former record by nearly twenty-eight hours.
 It was supposed that Weston would be satisfied with the record he made on his second walk from Portland to Chi, cago and retire on these laurelS, but a little while ago he announced that with the arrival of his scyentieth birthday, on March lJ, he would start out on q walk to San Francisco. The old mans grit has naturally won him many ad- mrers. and the feat that he is now un- dertaking is the occasion of wide and eager interest.
