to be almost stationary, but as we ran

he had seen the lions he simply put
out his hand. and all the dogs lay
down in q bunch and never attempted
to follow on after us. Then we stalked
carefully towards a big thorn tree ris-
ing above the bush. This was where
the lions were said to be. The bush
was very open. and when we came in
sight of the tree the lions were Just
decamping. There were four of them,
not five-an old lioness and three

inclined to run. and after a short
burst l managed to get bullet into

Into some thick bushes.
At that moment we caught sight OF
another lion trotting along parallel to
us about 200 yards off. The wounded
one was keeping up a continuous low

he would not get far away. we ran to

he caught sight of us. and We had q
long, stern chase after him, as a re-
suit of which l was SO blown l could
not hit him. although he was lobbins

It is gratifying to townspcople that the
industrial growth Of windsor Is being so

feature OF Ills commercial life that could
be advanced to the benefit of everybody,
more particularly the storekeepers and
farmers.
This Is the item Of a good summer
hotel.
In this respect windsor Is no different
than many more towns in Vermont. but
the right kind of people appear to live
here who could institute a good sum-
mer home for the many who annually
leave the great commercial centers and
for few weeks abandon the frantic
activity there. Windsor could hardly ac-
commodate all Of them, but there Is no
doubt. even among skcptical folks, that
good patronage would favor any well
managed hotel devoted to the entertain

THE AUTOMOBILE TAX.

CFrom the Bellows Falls Times.)
The Automobile club OF Vermont has
begun a campaign of education. 1t thinks
that the tate tax Of 81 per horse uower
on new automobiles is too high. The
clubs wants to get other people to think
ing so and then the next legislature will
law brought about $4,000 into the state
treasury this year This money will be
spent on the highways of the state and
so will be spent in good cause. No
people are more Interested in good roads
than owners and users of automobiles
and no people arc better able to contrib
ute toward building and maintaining
such roads. Tho automobile tax Is all
right and we fear it will take some Wig
orous educating TO convince the next
legislature that II is not.
Tho club at its recent annual meeting
held in Montpelicr voted to begin "a cam
paign for road signs throughout the
state. both danger signs and signs at
/ cross roads on which automobiles travel
: so as 70 direct people TO the TWINS they
arc seeking. Thu club will furnish the
