Heroine Saves Two Boys, But
Hurt So Badly That
She May Die.
REscUERs FEAR TO FIRE
THEY WERE FORCED TO STAND
IDLE DURING A DESPERATE
STRUGGLE NEAR SAN JOSE
USED A HATPtN.

San Jose, Cal, July 26.-With no
nedy battled with a savage mountain
lion until help arrived and the animal
was killed. Miss Kennedy, by her
heroism, saved the lives of two boys.
but was herself terribly mangled by
the claws of the lion.
Miss Kennedy is the daughter of
John Kennedy of Morgan Hill. With
two boy companions she was strolling
in the vicinity of Glen Willis, on Coy
ote Creek, when a large lion sprang
from the side of the trail and savage
ly attacked one of the boys. Without
an instant's hesitation the girl drew a
long hatpin from her hair and, spring
ing to the side OF the boy, who was
being torn by the claws and teeth of
the beast, began jabbing the hatpin
into the animals face, trying to pene-
trate its eyes, at the same time
screaming for help. The lion aband-
oned the boy and sprang fiercely at
the girl.
She was borne to the earth and
would undoubtedly have been quickly
killed had not one of the boys sue
ceeded in attracting the attention of
two men, armed with rifles. Seven
shots were fired into the lions body
before he was killed.
Miss Kennedy's condition is serious
The boy was badly clawed about the
neck and one of his ears was nearly
torn off.
The girl has only fighting chance
to survive her injuries.
Rescuers Afraid to Shoot.
With every plunge of the hat pin
into the lions flesh the battle between
the woman and the beast waxed
fiercer. John Conlon and Frank
Fletcher, who were the first rescuers
to arrive, were powerless. So close
was Miss Kennedy to the beast that
the men feared that they might end
her life if they fired. Several times
Fletcher leveled his gun upon the
lions head only to draw it down
again when he found that the girls
form was in the way.
The chance came after fifteen min
utes' fighting. AS the lion was about
to spring at the throat OF the girl the
men opened fire and three bullets en-
tered the lions body.
While the fight was at it's height
men were rushed to Morgan Hill for
aid and returned with an automobile,
in which Miss Kennedy was con-
veyed to the home of DIR. J. T. Hig-
gins.
Find Cubs in Cave.
The body of the lion was taken to
Morgan Hill. Itlmeasured eight feet.
The lion is the largest ever seen in
this section of the country. There
are but few of the species in the sur.

IMMORTALITY.

The religious desire for Immortality is based upon the
hypothesis that any future life if future life to be
had, will be vastly superior in every way to present
e-an existence of perennial bliss, place Of hobitaon
where neither pain sorrow can be known.
And yet how contrary and antagonstc 20 such con-
dton appear the conduct of the ma ory of those
pretending or claiming entertain such a belief. The
whole Christian world is rushing pel nell into every
social conagation, and spend considerable portion of
their waking moments in studying out plans how best to
extract the greatest amount of pleasure this existence
affords Nor indeed Of these believers i'll inn
mortality overcautous overpruden regarding the kind
and character of the pleasures they seek to grasp In
disregard of their theory they live and act here
as if no pleasure could possibly be had when the ftfu
fever of this life is DER Not in hundred of these
Christian believers in any great hurry to reach this
land of perennial bliss, but exhibit desire to remain on
this old earth until compelled leave by forces they
not control.
But all pleasure hypohecates pain. We would know
day without the night. Even the poet wrote that
Spring would be but gloomy weather. chere nothing
else but spring. Minus darkness, could not appre-
ciae the light There would be cold if had heat
So it is with pleasure and pain Every medal has its
reverse We know of pleasure only the autthesis of
pain, hence if there be no pain in supposed future
life there be pleasure unless the surfeit of pleasure
becomes pain The desire for pleasure, and the knowledge
acquired of the great difficulties experience in their
efforts to attain IT. may nave really produced the deSre
for Immortality and suggested the continuation of pleasure
without pain. Still, the capacity to enjoy implies an
individual consciousness that must be capable of realizing
the effect of both pleasure and pain If this degree of con
seriousness be claimed then it follow that pleasure
can be had that is alleged by pain and this fact must
of necessity, destroy the popular notion of Immortality

Something About Lightning Rods

(12026) J. H. asks: What is the
consensus, of authority and scientific
opinion on the true value and useful
ness of lighting rods as a means Of
protecting buildings from strokes Of
lightning? Do they afford real pro-
lection? Are they worth what they
cost. in preventing fire? Doubtless
you know how opinions differ on this
subject. Many people declare that
lightning rods are worse than use-
less; they actually invite danger.
Others contend that they are as ne
cessary as fire insurance In every
well-regulated establishment. ~
We are of the opinion that lightning.
rods are distinct advantage to .
building in the open country and in
thinly built portions of a city; also
upon tall spires and chimneys in any
part of city. Tho method of pro
lection to be employed has been
many times discussed In our paper.
