Plan Good Program


Bert Arlington, one of the well
known residents Of the Belle Prairie
neighborhood, has planned good
round of festivities at his ranch for
the Saturday preceding Fourth of
July Sunday. There will be horse
and foot races, pitching contests,
various other athletic sports, dance
all Gay and evening, refreshments,
etc. Everybody is cordially invited.
Mr.. Arlington will have a wagon in
Glendive on Saturday to take out
all who wish to go, starting about 9
a. m. The return will be made when
ever desired.

inability unaided to defeat the in
come tax proposition. President
Taft instantly perceived his advan-
tage and pointed out to Mr.. Aldrich
the advisability of using the corpor-
alton tax to defeat the income tax,
and repugnant as was this advice,
the man who has been called the
manager OF the Senate" realized
the necessity of accepting it. Mr..
Aldrich has won victory over the
insurgents, but he has won it by ac-
cepting a commission as junior Off
GER in the Republican army to Will
liam Howard Taft, Commander-in-
chief of the forces. When it is re-
called that all the resources and all
the determination of Theodore
Roosevelt never caused tremor in
the Aldrich leadership when the
Senator from Rhode Island set his
face against a railway rate law with
out court review clause, the full
magnitude of President Taft's VIC
tory becomes apparent.
President Taft's special message
to Congress presents SO forcibly the
reasons on which he bases his adj
vocacy of a tax on the net earnings
Of corporations that he who runs
may read, and we venture the opin-
ion that no Speaker or Representa-
tive will receive any severe condem-
nation from his constituents, regard
less Of the party to which they may
belong, who casts his vote for that
Of the tariff bill. That
the enactment Of this tax constitutes
a stride in the economic progress of
the nation, not second to the enact
ment of the Sherman antitrust law,
is the view entertained by more
than one statesman whose opinion
is worthy Of the respect of every
thoughtful and patriotic citizen.

case, and her rich, tawny skin was
sufficient temptation for me-; SO !
aimed at her throat, which presents q
much easier and safer mark than that
of the lion, with its matted and tan
gled manc, sufficient at times to offer
considerable impeachment to a bullet.
She must have raised her head as
fired, for my ball passed harmlessly
by; fortunately, too, for me, missing
the youngster Immediately behind her,
or a pretty hullabaloo might have
been the result. All the same, l was
in no enviable position, with my car.
bine empty, in close proximity to these
three cats. I followed the old adage
of. keeping my eye intently fixed on
that of the ioness; whether that had
anything to do with her refraining
from charging will not pretend to
say, but she did remain still whilst
mechanically reloaded and as me:
chemically brought up my weapon.
Taking more careful aim this time,
ported her right in her white cravat,
sending her in a somersault over the
young ones to their no little astonish-
nlent, and, what with the roaring of
the lioness and the row made by the
cubs, there was quite Bedlam. Then,
appearing to realize their danger, they
suddenly vanished into cover again,
rather to my relief. My lioness stIug-
gled SO violently that it was difficult
to finish her OF. but at last she gave
me a chance to put her out of her
misery by bullet through her brain.
As soon as she lay still l seated my.
self upon her and waited for the reap
pearance of the cubs, but, although /
stayed until the sun had got very low.
l never saw anything more of either
of them. I therefore whipped of her
hide, and rolling it up returned to the
lion, and served him likewise, getting
through with the job before dusk. The
hyenas could now worry at the car.
casses, though I hoped I might find
the skulls in the morning. Making
my two skins into bundle, though
an unwieldy one, carried it all right
back to the wagon.

and tramped about until was pretty
we'll exhausted, without finding any
further indications of "Isilouan." Much
disguised, returned to camp, pleased
that had not decided to inspan and
trek farther, without satisfying my.
self that l had not passed lion by:
for l meant moving as soon as ever the
moon was old enough to guide US at
all. That evening I whiled away the
time while daylight lasted in cleaning
the skull Of the lioness and entering
up my diary for the last week or so.
My clothing also sadly needed patch
ing up after the wait-a-bit thorns of the
day before. Then turned in early
and was soon in the realm of dream
land, to be awakened by the unmistak-
able roar of a lion
I had been right after all, but only
felt half pleased at being disturbed
There was nothing for it but to mount
guard again, and another broken
nights rest was the consequence. Still
the animals did not seem to approach
any nearer. BY the sound they were
evidently close by the water. AS soon
as the morning snack was over set
the boys to work to get everything in
readiness for inspanning, and started
OF once again, this time keeping close
along the bank of the river as the most
likely way of coming across the spoor

to rest my horse, as when we got far
Their out into the veldt I should find it
much more difficult to dispense with
him than where then was, with pretty

the river I found where the lions had
been drinking. There were several of
them-three, anyway y, as l could dis
tinguish from the pug marks-two full
grown ones and cub. or cubs.
This discovery caused me to reflect
a bit as to the wisdom of proceeding
single-handed. However, I must either
give up the idea of the hunt altogether,
or tackle them myself; for had no
confidence in the boys at such work,
and I would much rather be without
them than with them. Yet felt it was
a risky undertaking and recollections

lay directly from mel drew another
bead between her ears at the base of
her skull, and let fly. This time there
could be no doubt as to it's being ef-
fective, for, as stood, l could see
where the bullet bored right into her
brain. The lioness never so much as
moved, so l stepped up and examined
her. My first bullet had struck her too
low beneath the eyes to reach her
brain. It had torn through the cartil-
age of the nose and down her throat,
momentarily stunning and so Supply

not bother to take it of, only keeping
