MAY PREACH SUNDAY WEEK

AT the congregational meeting of
the Second Presbyterian church last
evening letter was read from the
Rev. Thomas c. McNary of the Sixth
presbyterian church at Indianapolis
to the effect that he would accept the
passionate of the local church, which
was rendered to him some time ago.
He will probably occupy the pulpit a
week from next Sunday
The Rev. McNary made a very fav-
orable impression when he preached
to the congregation of the church sew
eral weeks ago. He is a pleasing and
strong speaker. besides being an earn
est worker in the cause of the church.
1t Is thought the congregation will
steadily increase under his pastorate.
The Rev. McNary is a man of middle
age and is married. Since the first of
october the Second Presbyterian
church has been without a pastor.

A REVISION UPWARD

Cambridge City, Dec. 1O.-The town
council at its last meeting raised the
price of saloon licenses, which the cor

This was done for several reasons,
chief Of which was that since the sur

exception of Richmond, were dry"
Cambridge City saloonists were doing a
much larger business. The saloon
keepers, while not in love with the idea
of paying an increased tax Of $50, are
not making much complaint.

FOR BETTER SYSTEM
English Teachers Want Gram
mar Taught in a Uni
form Manner.
ARE TO HOLD A Meeting

The need Of a more uniform sytem
OF teaching grammar in the grade
schools of the city. in order that the
advanced courses in English in the
Garfield and high schools may be the
more effectively taught, will be con-
sidered at meeting of the English
teachers of the city, Tuesday evening.
at the Garfield building. Attention to
the weakness of the present system Of
teaching grammar was called by Prof.
Murray of the high school faculty.
There is no complaint made about
the thoroughness with which this
study is taught in the schools. but be-
cause of the different systems in vogue.
Practically every teacher has a differ
ent system. When the pupils enter
the Garfield school, unless they are IA
miliar with the system of the English
teachers OF this school. they experience
considerable difficulty at first in thor-
oughly understanding the propositions
This difficulty is not entirely remov-
ed even after they enter the high
school. BY having uniform sys-
tenn this difficulty will be overcome

wells they were making for. No

Shooting Lions with Poisoned
Arrows.

Lions are occasionally killed by
Midgans. but the poison on the arrows
cannot be very strong. as frequently
after being sick two OF three times,
the lion seems TO recover and get
away Captain Swayne gives an ac-
count OF the way in which these Mid
Gans hunt the oryx with their dogs
But TO get on with my story The
little Midgan carried a bow nearly as
long as himself, and was followed by
about a dozen small native dogs with
curly stcrns and prick ears. These
little ours were wonderfully broken
The man trotted OF In front of US,
and when he got near the place where
he had seen the lions he simply put
out his hand. and all the dogs lay
down in a bunch and never attempted
10 follow on after us. Then We stalked
carefully towards big thorn tree ris-
tho 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 we're four of them

lions. perhaps not quite full grown,
and with very little mane. Hassan
had followed close behind on his pony.
so I shouted 10 him to try and keep
his eye on the lfoness, and ran on my
self with Abdulla after one OF the
lions. This one did not seem much
inclined to run, and after a short
burst | managed to get a bullet into
him somewhere just as he disappeared
into some thick bushes.
At that moment We caught sight OF
another lion trotting along parallel TO
us about 200 yards of. The wounded
one was keeping up a continuous low
growing In the bushes. so, thinking
he would not get far away. we ran TO
cut of the other He turned of when
he caught sight OF US, and we had a
long. stern chase after him, as a re-
suit of which | was so blown | could
not hit him, although he wns lobbing
along not more than 100 yards ahead.

flank. He at once turned, and. Growl-
Ing flercely, came bounding few

up his mind TO charge. Whether he
would have done so or not | do not

When | shot she seemed to stumble

and before I could shoot again she
was half way towards him, going like

grass, and by the time he got his pony

loaded. He plunged forward, hitting
the corner of our zereba, then swerved
of, and we heard him crash into A
bush. where We found him stone dead
in the morning. The bullet had gone
through his heart. These two lions
were very fine specimens. One had
a thick. almost jet black name. the
other had a lighter name, but for a
wild lion very thick. There is no
doubt these were the lions seen the
day before. as the next day. riding
over to visit the other camp. followed
their back trail to within a mile OF
condition. but empty. so that may ac.
count for their boldnese.
Shortly before this shot three
times at a lion which was eating my
donkey. The night was as dark as
pitch. The lion took very little notice
of the two first shots. although one OF
them hit the donkey In the ribs. The
third shot was a very lucky one. the
bullet hit the donkey in the stomach,
and. going through. caught the lion at
the junction of the neck with the
chest killing him on the spot One
would think that SIT rife blazed in
his face at about five yards would
frightcn any lion. This one had killed
and eaten a sheep the night before,
taking 1t from the same village where
sat up for him.
The two foregoing stories would
seem to show that a large percentage
OF the lions killed In Somalland are
shot at night over bait. This is not
really SO, as It Is quito chance II

my mind, is thing to be avoided. ex-

caslonally by bright moonlight It is

about walking through the bush In the

were a good many ostriches and few
