Two gup bearers
One water boy.
Three photographers.
Two stenographers,
One Taxldermlst,
Two skinners,
One ammunition wagon.
And 400 bushbeatesR
At length the lion reached HIS lair.

And vowed SO long as lie was bis

One leg shattered,
Two knife slnahea on back,
-Four ribs Kicked IN,
One dum.dum bullet IA head.
Two sleel.nosea bullets In body,
One ear blown of,
And bitten through the windpipe.
