A YOUNG IzoN SLAYER.
BOer Farmer Boys Make Good shoas
On the African VeIdt.

Three lions were killed near Pist-
srsburg, Transvaal by the nineteen
year-old sen of JOzef Erasmus, q
Boer farmer. It appears that young
Erasmus was on his way to the Mes
sina mine and had outspanned his
donkey team, when his kafar Toy
came running to tell him that three
lions were tackling the denkeys.
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard
in the direction indicated. On his
arrival at the spot he found the
lions lying around one Of the dom
keys. He fred and killed a big
lioness. The other two jumped up
but he was ready and shot another
(yOunger) lioness. The young lion
which was left ran behind some
brushweod. Erasmus first collected
ais denkeys and brought them inte
safety and then once more carefully
approached the scene OF the fight
In order to find out IL the two lion
eases were dead he fred another shot
At one OF them. This disturbed the
surviving lion who thersupOD came
forth roaring. Erasmus was again
ready and shot him dead on the spot.
Asked by the Volkesstem correspond
ent whether he was alene at the
time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no,

Vegetable MIX.

Vegetable milk is used in Japan.
1t is made from the sofa bean. The
liquid is exactly like cows milk in
appearance, and in taste can hardly
be distinguished from it. To make
it the beans are first soaked and
then boiled in water. Some sugar
and phosphate potassium are added,
and it is boiled down till it has the
consistency OF condensed milk.

The closing OF the year 1908 re-
veals to the coal operators of the
Hooking valley that the past year
was one of the leanest in the
Hooking valley in many years.
The leading coal companies are
now closing their books for the
present year, and almost without
exception declare that it has been
one of the poorest in the Hooking
valley coal trade if figured on the
amount of capital invested. Nine
teen hundred and seven was the
banner year of the local coal trade,
and the year now ended will show
II business on the average OF about
90 per cent of that year. Warm
weather both at the beginning and
ending of the season, the business
depression and the small demand
from the northwest was combi-
nation which killed business with
the coal men. However, they are
now optimistic over the prospects
for the present year, and already
have many Inquiries for new CON
tracts on their books.

100, 900 are dead Messina in Sicily
and Reggie and score of other
towns in southern Italy over
whelmed, ard the entire Gala brian
province laid waste as result of
the earthquake that disrupted
southwestern Italy.
The death list in Messina by Of
fetal report is 90 900; that of
Reggie, which with its adjacent
villages numbered Is, 900 people,
includes almost the entire popula-
tion. At Palmi 1000 are reported
dead; at Cassano, 1000; at Sosen

tion of Bagnara, about A. 900. The

Rich Senator.

Cambridge, O., Dec, ~ -Sena-
tor Chris Mckee, who has plugged
more holes in the surface of Noble
county than any other man or set
of men, refused last week an offer
of 5000, 600. 90 cash from the stand
ard Oil company for his oil terri
tory, which lies about two miles
west of his home in Belle Valley.
The location of the pool, toward
which the standard is now looking
with covetOus eyes, has been the
work of lifetime on the part of
Senator Mckee and in which he
spent his private fortune. Never
daunted by failure he pressed
steadily forward, and at last was
rewarded by pool that is the
equal of any in Southwestern Ohio.
Wells were drilled on the outer
edge of his holdings until the
owner became certain of the loca-
tion of oil, then he went to the
center and put down a well which
came in good for SO barrels per
day.
Others followed and at no time
has he failed to secure producer.
His income from them at present
averages $3.50 per day and oil ex-
perts assert that there is room left
for from 80 to 60 wells in territory
covering the pool every one of
which will prove paying pro-
Queer.
When the Standard made their
offer Senator Mckee was tempted
to close out and quit the business.
Last Friday was set as the day for
him to give his final answer, but
as the date approached the lure of

Compulsory Education in Fire
Dangers and the School =
Teacher.

Complaints from parents, that
the lessons provided for in the law
making instruction in fire dangers
compulsory in Ohio, are not used
and requests from teachers for the
the lessons, makes desirable the
following facts.
The Reed law enacted last winter
provides, that, the state fire
marshal shall provide a lesson on
fire dangers for each week of the
maximum school year; that the
state school commissioner shall
have them printed and shall dis
tribute them one to each teache'
in public, private and parochial
schools in which are pupils be-
tween the ages of six and fourteen
years, Wilful neglect of 9 teach :
er to use the lessons is punishable
| by fine of five to twenty dollars.
1t happened that the Reed bill
did not reach vote until too late
to get into the general appropria-
tion bill, provision for the ex-
pense of sending cut the lessons.
The cost of expressing package of
books to 1900 clerks of school
boards is considerable. Therefore
they were sent to the SO county
auditors with request that they be
distributed. A result is that
many teachers at a distance
from the county seat are not using
the lessons.
The pamphlet sent out contains
| the 16 lessons needed for use before
the Christmas holiday. There be-
| ing no lessons of this sort in any
language, it seemed desirable that
few lessons be issued in cheap
form, so that the ideas OF teachers
as to how the subjects could best
be presented might be secured be.
fore printing them in book form.
The general expression from teach
ers who have been using them is
that the form of presentation is
good and the children appreciate
the essentials of information given.
The "a additional lessons necessary
to having one for each week of the
schoo! year are now ready for the
printer.
So popular is this sort of educa-
ton that bills providing for it will
be introduced in the legislatures
of at least four states this winter.
