Immediately proceeding to kill and cut

Hassan added that he could very soon

Japanese Could Not Understand Their
Desire for Privacy While In

An interesting article In the Wide
World Magazine is entitled Two Girls

Lyons account:
The bath itself-which looked like a
large box-was a wooden structure
built into a corner, and all round the
inside ran a convenient ledge for sit
ting on. The water being little short
of boiling, our movements we're de-
cidedly cautious, and, curling ourselves
up on the ledge, we tried to grow. ac-
customed to the temperature by de-
grees before plunging right in. When.
thinking to remove the traces of our
journey by a vigorous application Of
soap, we began to scrub ourselves, 1t
suddenly occurred to US that such a
proceeding was not etiquette" out Of
consideration to the other bathers. SO
we stepped out, soaped ourselves
well, and rinsed our bodies with the
wooden ladies' supplied for the pur-
pose, before getting back into the wa
ter again.
We were sitting on the ledge. chat

milton OF danger made me look up, and
the spectacle which greeted my eyes

a flash. He had not seen her when
shot, as she was hidden by the
grass, and by the time he got his pony
turned around and started she was
close to him. He galloped straight
away from me. and dare not fire at
the lioness for fear of hitting him.
For nearly 200 yards 1t looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the pony's tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and at length.
to my great relief, the pony began
to gain on her. She at once pulled up,
and turned into bush where she lay
down stretched out at full length,

fore she could prepare for another ef-
fort. Ny first bullet had gone through
the shoulder, and being solid had only
drilled quite a small hole. The ma
tives said that the reason she could
not catch the pony was because a lion
could not spring before a momentary
halt TO crouch. II this Is so, pony
could always get away from a lion
galloping straight behind 1t, unless the
pony was such bad one that the lion
could come alongside. On two or
three occasions have been chased

and shot him without difficulty. The
Midgan, after calling his dogs. had
run on after us, and had come on the
wounded lion. We skinned this beast,
and the little Midgan rather amused
us, as he got SO very much annoyed
because his dogs would not eat some
great chunks of raw lion-fesh he cut
of and offered them. We were on
our way to skin the other lion when
we met Hassan looking rather sorry
for himself. He said that the lioness
had trotted quite quietly at first, and
he had brought her round in a circle
towards the place where he had left
US, riding alongside Of her, and shout
ing to let us know whore he was.
Unluckily she crossed the track of
the wounded lion, and after smelling
at the blood she became perfectly un-
manageable. making on at a gallop
and charging him whenever he got

the best I ever saw In Somaliland.
He would not put a price on 1t. be-
cause he said he could make quite .
respectable income by making looting
expeditions on its back. as 1t was SO
fast nobody could catch It.
Killing CameIs to Save a Pony.
A year after this I met Hassan
again. and asked him how his pony
was He said 1t was very well. but
that he had very nearly lost it short
time before. He had been down in
the waterless plain on a looting ex-
pedition with some other Eidegalla
warriors. After a successful raid they
split up to avoid pursuit. and Hassan
was on his way home driving some OF
the looted camels in front Of him. It
was very dry year. and although II
was the rainy season. he had been
unable to find any water In pools to
give his pony. The result was that
having been ridden hard for two or
three days with little or no water to
drink, the pony got beat, and at last
lay down, about 20 miles from the
wells they were making for. No
amount of stick would get 1t on its
legs again, and Hassan was in de-
spair. He knew there were no vii.

vessels in which to carry water back

ng could be done to save 1t. At last
he thought of a plan. Driving the
camels at top speed to the wells. he
gave them as much water as they
could drink. and hurried them back
again. He found the pony where he

It is more than likely he would not

AD CLUB AFTER CONVENTION
VIII Ask National Organization to
Come TO Omaha Next
Year.

Ten live members Of the Omaha Ad
club have volunteered TO attend the con
vention of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of America at Louisville, August
2, &c and q, at their own expense and do
all in their power to land the 1910 meeting
for Omaha.
A movement is already under way to
secure sufficient funds to open head
quarters for the Omaha delegation at one
OF the leading hotels. The Commercial
club and the Ad club have each sub
scribed 500 for this purpose and leading
business houses and hotels have signified
a willingness to help the project. The
money subscribed win be used entirely
for the legitimate expense OF entertaining
and boosting Omaha and not for the
personal expense of any Omaha delegate.
The convention Of ad clubs draws from
1900 TO 1000 visitors from every part Of
the United States, including the leading
national advertisers and publishers. In ad-
dition to working directly to secure the
1910 convention the Omaha delegates in
tend to advertise this city and its many
attractions in al aggressive manner. They
will distribute souvenirs and booklets fur
nished them by any business house, and

Banks May Get
Boost from the
State Board
Assessor Shriver Says He Thinks it
Likely the Assessment Will Be
Slightly Raised.

County Assessor Shrlver is Of the opinion
that the banks OF Douglas county will find
their assessments raised 2 or 3 per cent
when the State Board OF Equalization gets
to work on them. The board has notified
Mr.. Shrlver that he will be expected to
give some reason why the assessment Of
Douglas county should not be raised, and
he expects the increase to be borne largely
by the banks. An Increase OF 20 per cent
on horses and mules in Douglas county is
also contemplated.
The Douglas County Board OF Equaliza-
ton allowed the banks a 3 per cent reduc-
ton on bad notes and loans, and this may
be overruled by the state board. Mr..
Shriver protested against It as such reduc-
tions have been overruled before and It is
his opinion that they are anAu!y favorable
to the banks as actual losses on bad loans
do not amount to so much.
The banks are also in danger OF having
their assessments raised because Of their
practice OF not returning any value on
secured interest on bills receivable, Re
auctions are allowed for loss and deprecia-
ton. for accrued and unpaid interest on
time deposits and on unearned pro rata
portions OF discounts on notes or bills re-
celvable, included in undivided profits.
These reductions decrease the book value
OF their property by almost 50 per cent,
Partly TO balance this they are expected
TO make return on accrued interest on bills
receivable, which would make q difference
Of from l to 2 per cent.
Most OF the Omaha banks make nc re-
turn on this item and may be forced TO sui
fer a revision by the state board.
