A LION HUNT.
Usually a Case in Which Hunters
Goard the Game Into Combat.

There is a distinction in Africa be-
tween ordinary lions and imam eat
ers,' says T. R. MacMechen in Me-
Clure's Magazine. The ordinary lion
does not willfully attack man. The
presence Of lions roaming at night on
the veldt is not disturbing to any ma
tive nor to whites who have come TO
understand the beast. Persons re-
turning to their camps after nightfall
do not notice the roaring of lions or
the cries of leopards or hyenas.
It is seldom that people bent upon
domestic errands carry weapons in
the darkness, although at night the
veldt of British East Africa is alive
with roaming beasts, which may be
heard from the verandas Of the hous-
es. Lions give the passing man a
wide berth, day or night, when it is
apparent that he means no mischief.
An ordinary lion, even when wound
ed willstry flight before fight. When
its escape is disputed it will, especial
ly if wounded, try to maui its enemy
with teeth and CLANS.
A lion hunt is usually chase IN
which the hunters goad the game into
combat. Once Lion has tasted hu-
man blood, however, it is no more
afraid of man, but learns that he is
weakest of animals and the choicest
Of meat. Such a lion is known as a
man eater because now he hunts
man.

our membership by the hand OF loving
Father, be it resolved:
First, That in the death OF Mrs. Hout

been laid heavily upon her, so that she
was rarely permitted to meet with us in

il was a benediction to look into her
beaming face so fraught with smiles, and
to receive her loving grasp OF the hand.
We feel that we have lost a personal
friend, yet while we depiore our great
loss we bow in meek submission TO the
will of our dear Heavenly Father, know
ing "that all things work together tor
good to them that love God"
Second, That we as society extend to
the sorroWing loved ones our tendereSt
sympathy, and pray that our Fathers hand
may lead and guide them all, so they may
be an unbroken family when we gather
in Our heavenly home, in that "houSe not
made with hands, eternalin the heavens. "

dist and to the ShepherdStown Register

to the family of Our deceased sister, and

in the history of Huntington, w. Va, oc-
cured last Monday, when |. N. Chap
man, supervisor of the Huntington divis-
ion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad

was employed in a department store
owned by budding, was arrested on
charge of theft. After the arrest OF the
young girl budding refused TO prosecute
her. 1t was alleged by the friends OF the
girl that the charges were preferred by
budding as the result of her refusal to lis
ten to his attentions, and damage suit
against budding was threatened Monday
budding went to the office of Super
visor Chapman to endeavor TO settle the
affair. He alleges that Chapman attempt
ed to kill him with a Ratchet and he pull
ed his pistol and fired in Self-defense
Chapman died an hour afterward.

that the fee for the registration of letters
and mail packages will be increased from
eight to ten cents. Under the law he has
the power 10 make it as much as twenty
cents. II is said that the registry service
is the most expensive branch of the work
of the Postoffice Department, on account
of the precautions taken to insure the
safety and the correct delivery of regis
tered articles, and is carried on at present
at loss of several millions annually to
