There might be other commodities

but he did not know of them. He had
challenged his opponents in the House
OF Commons, not in any unguarded
way, not a mere passing allusion-
allowing his cat to slip out of the
bag"-(laughter)-but deliberately and
temporarily he had challenged his on
ponents In the House Of Commons to
name a commodity which possessed
the six characteristics he had enumer-
ated. Up till now they had not replied
to his challenge-nor would they.
1t was no use his telling them that
these taxes were not Socialistic un-
less he told them what he understood
by Socialism. What he understood bv
1t was the extinction, the annihilation
or all private property and the taking
over of all private property by the
state. That, and nothing else, was
Socialism. Applause.) According to
his view, these taxes were designed to
CONFER great benefits on the community
he meant the proceeds of the taxes.
to confer benefits which private indi-
Viduals could not confer and could not
be asked to confer-benef1ts which the
state alone could confer; but, he asked.
did any of these taxes as he had de-
scribcd them mean that they took awav
mems private property, and handed it
over to the state? They took no mans
property from him. (Applause.) They
did not even tax n mans buildings or
| the proceeds of his own industry. Thev
| sald-"We respect your private prop
erty, and we won't tax It, No ruthless
hand shall be laid on your property,
but II we find you in possession Of
wealth which you spent nothing to Gre
hte-which has been entirely created
by and derived from the community
we think 1t only fair and just to ask
you to give a contribution to the COM
inunity from which you draw that
wealth."
That was the essence Of the land
taxes. (Applause) They found peo-
pie in the possession of wealth which
they had done nothing to create, and
they said to them--"Gentlemen, you
| live in free state, you have the pro-
lection Of our law, and the advantages
which come from living in the midst
of progressive and Industrious COM
munity. Will you not, therefore, con-
tribute to the needs Of the community"
He had now disclosed to them the
main features in the Budget, and had
brought under their notice as fully and
faithfully as he could the whole case
for and against the land taxes.
In his judgment there were no taxes
so far removed from confscation and
robbery as the land taxes In his de-
! liberate judgment there were no taxes
in the whole Budget which gave the
people in that country so good a guar
antee and protection for the rights Of
private property as did the land taxes.

ing quite still.
When I shot she seemed to stumble
forward, but recovering herself
caught sight of the man on the pony,
and before I could shoot again she
was half way towards him, going like
a fash. He had not seen her when
I shot, as she was hidden by the
grass, and by the time he got his pony
turned around and started she was
close to him. He galloped straight
away from me, and dare not fire at
the lioness for fear of hitting him.
For nearly 200 yards it looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the pony's tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and at length,
to my great relief, the pony began
to gain on her. She at once pulled up,
and turned into bush where she lay
down stretched out at full length,
painting. Running up, shot her be-
fore she could prepare for another ef-
fort My first bullet had gone through
the muscles of the forearm just below
the shoulder, and being solid had only
drilled quite a small hole. The ma
tives said that the reason she could
not catch the pony was because a lion
could not spring before a momentary
halt to crouch. If this is so, pony
could always get away from a lion
galloping straight behind it, unless the
pony was such bad one that the lion
could come alongside. On two or
three occasions 1 have been chased
myself in the open grass plain, but
have always got fair start, and my
pony has had no difficulty in keeping
out of the lions way. A pony boy of
mine was very nearly caught one day
In the open. He was trying to round
up a lion, and got rather too close
to it on tired pony. He only just
got away. This same lion afterwards
chased me and two or three of my
men for quite long time. Unless a
pony falls down, I am sure there is
nothing to be feared from a lion in

source In q native, but the life So
mali leads makes him wonderfully
quick at finding way out of fix Of
this kind. 1t was very lucky the pony
was not killed by lions or hyenas
while Hassan was away.
Just before Hassan's pony was near
ly caught by the lioness we had a pony
killed by lions, the man on his back
escaping rather cleverly. At that time
we had two separate camps, six or
seven miles apart, each of them on the
edge Of the Marar Prairie, on ban
or open grass plain many miles in ex-
tent. This was the best place for
lions 1t has ever been my luck to come
across. Hardly a day passed that
lions were not seen by one or the other
of US, very often right out in the open,
cloudy weather while we were there,
and the lions seemed to do most Of
their hunting in the daytime. There
were SO many, and they were so bold,
that the Somalis were quite nervous
about walking through the bush in the
daytime. Between us we shot "a
lions in this place in little over a
fortnight. Besides lions there was
more game than have ever seen any
where else. Large herds of hart
beeste, oryx, and Sommering's gaZelle
were to be seen feeding in every direc-
ton. Besides this, in the open there
were good many ostriches and a few
hunting cheetahs. In the bush at the
back of our camps were Walters ga
zelles, leopards, warthog, and innu-
merable dikdik and birds. In the
rocky hills l saw several klip-spring-
ers.
One morning my companion was
reused by his natives, who told him
that three lions were just crossing a
strip of open ground within 100 yards
of his camp. Before he was ready,
two or three of the men jumped on
ponies and galloped after the lions
three very fine males with Names
which were by that time making off.
The natives meant to try and keep
them engaged till the hunter had
time to get his rife and cartridges

A Wounded Lion at Bay.
While this was going on we could
hear Hassan shouting in the distance,
SO now we ran of towards the sound.
When we started the shouts seemed
to be almost stationary, but as we ran
they got further and further OF till
at last we could hear nothing. We
then turned to 60 back for the wound
ed lion. AS We got near the place
where we had left him, we could hear
a tremendous row going on, men
shouting. dogs barking, and the unmis
taxable grunts of an angry lion. Run.
ming up, we found the lion, with his
shoulder broken, standing in a bush
surrounded at respectful distance
by the little dogs. They kept up an
incessant yapping, and every now and
then the lion would make a drive at
them, but they were much too quick
for him with his broken shoulder, and
were at him again directly he re-
treated to the bush. The little Mid
gan and one of my men were close
by, yelling with excitement. AS I
walked up to try to get shot with
out hitting one of the pack, the lion
took no more notice of the dogs, but
kept his eyes fixed on me. I never
saw lion look nastier, but suppose
his broken shoulder had sickened him,
and shot him without difficulty. The
Midgan, after calling his dogs, had
run on after us, and had come on the
wounded lion. We skinned this beast,
and the little Midgan rather amused
us, as he got so very much annoyed
because his dogs would not eat some
great chunks of raw lion-flesh he cut
off and offered them. We were on
our way to skin the other lion when
we met Hassan looking rather sorry
for himself. He said that the lioness
had trotted quite quietly at first, and
he had brought her round in a circle
towards the place where he had left
us, riding alongside Of her, and shout
ing to let US know where he was.

the open, If one gives him a pretty
he charges. AS rule the lion will
give up the chase after 100 yards or
so. This pony of Hassan's was about
the best l ever saw in Somaliland.
He would not put a price on it, be-
cause he said he could make quite a
respectable ircoMe by making looting
expeditions ru it's back, as it was so
fast nobody could catch it.
Killing CameIs to Save a Pony.
A year after this 1 met Hassan
again, and asked him how his pony
was. He said it was very well, but
that he had very nearly lost it short
time before. He had been down In
the waterless plain on a looting ex.
pedition with some other Eidegalla
warriors. After a successful raid they
split up to avoid pursuit, and Hassan
was on his way home driving some of
the looted camels in front of him. It
was very dry year, and although it
was the rainy season, he had been
unable to find any water in pools to
give his pony. The result was that
having been ridden hard for two or
three days with little or no water to
drink, the pony got beat, and at last
lay down, about 20 miles from the
wells they were making for No
amount Of stick would get it on its
legs again, and Hassan was in de-
spair. He knew there were no vii.
lagos at the wells where he could get
vessels in which to carry water back
to the pony, and it seemed as IL moth
ng could be done to save it. At last
he thought of plan. Driving the
camels at top speed to the wells, he
gave them as much water as they
could drink, and hurried them back
again. He found the pony where he
had left 1t, In a very bad way, but
Immediately proceeding to kill and cut
open the camels, he took the water out
of their stomachs and gave 1t to the
pony, which revived sufficiently to
struggle to the wells. After a few
days rest 1t completely recovered.
Hassan added that he could very soon
get some more camels, and that he
would rather have cut the throats Of
hundred than have lost his pony.
This story shows great deal Of re-

Badgering an Angry Lioness.

We had not been back in camp very
long when my companion came in, say.
ing he had run across lioness in
the hills, which he was sure was the
one we had seen, as she was very
angry. She had run into some long
grass, and had charged out towards
his men, when they were going up to
light it. He was very unwell with
fever at the time, and although he
had two or three shots, he was so
shaky he could not hit her, and at
last felt so i'll he had to give her up.
His shikari told me the lioness was
very much beat from being badgered
about in the sun and he was sure we
could find her. I owed her one for
frightening Hassan, so We started at
once, Hassan not coming, but sending
a relation of his on the same pony.
After short ride we got to the place
and found the, tracks going into q
long strip of high feathery grass. We
cast all around and could find no
tracks coming out, so decided to burn
the patch. 1t was about 200 yards
long and perhaps so broad. could
not command the whole Of 1t, so I
told the men to light it at the top
and along one side, and Abdulla and
I took up our station halfway down
the other side, about 80 yards out
from the edge. At the bottom end
put the warrior on the pony to see
II the lioness broke that way. Al
most directly, the grass was lit big
spotted hyena blundered out and came
within a few yards of us. but the
great part of the patch was burnt be-
fore there was any sign of the lioness.

and catch them up. The lions were
galloping among scattered mimosa
scrub, making for the thick bush be-
yond. and with an object in view a
lion can get along at very fair pace
ia the cool of the morning. One Of
the men got start of the others and
was rapidly overhauling the lions,
when he lost sight of them for a mo-
ment. He galloped up to the bush
where he had last seen them, and as
he rounded it, one lion came at him
from behind and the other two from
the front. They had got sick of rum
ming and had waited for him. The ma
tive did very clever thing. There
was no chance of getting away by
galloping, as he was regularly hemmed
in, so, half checking the pony, he put
his heel on its wither, and jumped
right into the middle of a mimosa
bush. Almost as he jumped the lions
knocked the pony over, and when my
companion came up he found them
eating it, taking no notice of the
dismounted men close by. The first shot
hit one, and while he was following
It up the other two gave his men the
slip. These two lions were decidedly
out of luck, as I got them the same
night
Approaching Big Game in Jungle.
That morning a lioness killed q
heifer close to my camp. had al
ready seen her tracks several times,
but they had always led us on 10 some
stony hills where we had lost them.
This time the same thing happened
again, so, thinking she would probably
come back that night to finish the
heifer, we decided to sit up for her.
We therefore made an enclosure of
thorns under a mimosa bush near by.
, The hat top of the bush came
down to meet ths thorns built
up all around and one could
hardly tell the whole thing was
not bush. In the front there was
hole to shoot through, and at the back
we left an opening so that we could
get inside. After this we returned
back to camp, and in the. evening after
dinner went OF again, taking my bed
ding on donkey. This donkey was
also to serve as q bait. for the natives

Unluckily she crossed the track ol

at the blood she became perfectly un.
manageable, making off at a gallop
and charging him whenever he got
in front to try to turn her. At last
she had gone into the thick bush OH
some hills, where he had lost her.
When we had skinned the other lion
we made a cast to try to pick up the
fourth, but could make nothing of
him-I never got this lion, although
he killed one of our donkeys the next
day.

Of how the murder was committed.
Elsie was on the bed said the
Chinaman, while his hearers drew
closer in horrified suspense and

mouth. and ! saw the blood on it she
was fighting with him. but he only

Those who heard this recital We're
almost overcome with the thought
that Chung Sin could have stood by
in the adjoining room without raising
a hand to prevent it. In one version
Of the Chinaman's confession it is said
he admitted helping Leon Ling to tie
the trunk, although denying that he
aided him in placing the body in it, He
also admitted giving most of the
money which he borrowed from Chu
Gain TO Leon Ling to aid the latter in
his flight from New York.
