ones on the table with the bread
crumbs for the servants, and when we
left the table the whole family bowed
low to us, and stood back until the
king and the cowboy and I had passed
out on the veranda.
Gee, but they seemed to think King
Edward wouldn't be ace high to Pa,
and Pa swe]led up so l thought he
might bust.
After smoking some so cigars, Pa
told of What towards lions and tigers
were, anG how he could take riding
whip and chase a lion up a tree, and
the Michigan man proposed to have an
exhibit Of his wild annals. which he
kept in his private forest outside of
the clearing. He had a race track in
the clearing next to the forest, and
told Pa that every morning his herd
ers turned a lot of lions, giraffes,
rhinoceroses and zebras into the track,
and the family chased them around
the track in automobiles, and Pa said
he would like to enter into such a

choked nearly to death, and then
Pa .mauled the apparently dead lion
until the cowboy dismounted from the
pony and got his lariat rope back.
Pa gave the lion a couple of kicks,
and got back into the auto, and the
Michigan man patted him on the back
and said: "Old man., you are a king
of beasts, sure enough, and Pa said:
20, don't know; never did like a
cowardly lion, no how"
We chased some more animals
around the track, and the Michigan
man said he hoped the taothless old
lion would not die, as ha was saving
him for Roosevelt to practi:e on when
he came to the ranch after the 4th Of
March.
The cowboy went across the field
where tame giraffe was grazing in a
tree top and took the saddle off his
pony and put it on the giraffe, and
we run up to where he was and the
Michigan man asked him what he was
going to do, and he said he was going
to ride the giraffe, as he had ridden
almost everything that walked on four
legs except q giraffe.

race, and the man ordered the herders
to turn in the animals.
The cowboy wanted a saddle horse
and lariat rope, and they fixed him
out, and when the herders announced
that the animals were on the track
all right, we got into the waiting autos,
the man and pat sat on the front seat
with the chauffeur, and some of us got
in the back seats and started out.
When the animals saw us coming
they started down the home stretch,
and the auto gave chase, and we
yelled and fired guns in the air, and
the chauffeur put charge of bird
shot into the hind hams of a lion
that didn't seem to be in much of
hurry, and the lion turned on US, and
Pa told the chauffeur to stop, and he
would settle with the lion.
Pa got out with a horse whip and
started for the lion, which gave a roar
like distant thunder, and as 1 looked
at Pa with the frock coat and silk hat,
walking towards the lion, l thought
that was the last of Pa, and I begged
him to come back, but he said: Never
you mind about me; have seen lions
BEFORE and Pa walked up to the lion
and gave him cut with the whip,
and yelled: Get back into the jungle,
you tom cat"
Well, really, that lion ought to have
turned and put his tail between his
legs and galloped for the woods, but
Pa had made a mistake in his lion, for
the animal went up to Pa and took
mouthful of his pants, and shook him
like dog would shake a rat, and
Pa yelled for them to take away their
lion if they didn't want the animal
injured.
The animal rolled Pa over on the
ground in the dust, chewed his silk
hat, and Pa got loose and made a rush
for the auto and crawled under it to
fix something, and just then the cow
boy came along on pony and threw
his lariat over the lions head and
pulled him away across the track, and
Pa came out from under the machine
and took big monkey wrench and
started again for the lion, bare head
ed, and so mad he fairly frothed at the
mouth, after he saw that the lion was

We have spent couple of days at
the Michigan mans ranch in darkest
Africa, where he has brought civiliza-
ton right into the jungle, and after
spending six months with negro saw
ages and wild animals, and menagerie

Ing looked into a mirror for half a
year, we found that we were about the
most disreputable looking tourists
that ever came in sight of beds, with
linen sheets on. and pillows.
l noticed that the family Of the
Michigan man and the servants looked
at us with suspicion, and turned up
their noses at us, but l never realized
what 1t was all about until they
showed us to our rooms that night,
and found that my face and hands
were black with dirt and smoke, and
my clothes were greasy and patched
with buckskin patches sewed on with
strips of rawhide, and my torn coat
was pinned together with thorns.
could see Pa and the cowboy all the
time, and knew that they looked like
tramps, but l thought was all right
The Michigan man showed us to our
rooms, after Pa and the cowboy had
drank few quarts of highballs, and
they were going to 60 to bed with
their clothes on, but / knew they
would ruin the beds If they did, so
insisted that we all get in the bath
tubs and take our semi-annual bath,
and as the man left us he said we
could find clothes to put on in the
morning, in a closet, and to leave our
clothes out in the hall and he would
have servant take them away with
the tongs and burn them in the fur
mace
That sobered Pa and the cowboy a
little and they decided to try the
baths.
Well, we didn't do thing to the
running water, and before we retired
we had washed ourselves so clean,
with real soap, the first we had seen
since we left Germany, that Pa and
the cowboy had to be introduced to
each other, and l was so clean that l
didn't know myself. and we put on pa
jamas that we found in the room,
and crawled into the clean beds and
slept till morning, after putting all our
clothes out of the room, to purify
the air.
In the morning we dressed up in the
clothes the Michigan man told us we
would find in the closet, and such a
transformation was never seen be-
FORE
Pa found a pair of gray pants and
frock coat and silk hat, and when
he was dressed and had ON a white
shirt he looked like a senator from
South Carolina.
The cowboy found golf suit, with
short pants, long socks, and puttee leg
gins, and a Tam O Shanter cap, and
he looked like an escaped Scotchman,
while found Buster Brown suit that
fit me- and all ! wanted was a dog to
be complete, and we went down to

acting as though they were proud to

Gen Lees Touching Response to q
Union Soldiers Taunt.

Bitterness or resentment seemed to
have no part in the nature of Gen.
Robert E. Lee. During the war, de-
clares Charles Morris in The Old
South and the New" it was noticeable
that he never spoke Of the union SOL
diers as Yankees" the common ex-
preston in the southern army. He al
ways called them "federals,' or 1.-The
enemy" A touching story Of Gen.
Lee was told by union veteran who
had been in the battle of Gettysburg.
He was a most bitter anti-south man,
and fought the confederates desper
ately.
The last day of the fight was badly
wounded. A ball shattered my left
leg lay on the ground not far from
Cemetery Ridge, and as Gen. Lee Or
dered his retreat, he and his officers
rode near me.

When Cold Breathe Deenlv

A simple way to get warm after OK
posture to cold is to take long breath
with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat
this several times, until you begin to
feel the heat returning. It requires a
very short time to do this.
The long breath quickens the pulse
and thus causes the blood to circulate
faster. The blood flows into all parts
of the veins and arteries and. gives
out a great deal Of heat. 1t is stated
that, this method of deep breathing
prevents colds and great many other
ailments if begun in time.-Famtly

: Venison Cheaper Than Beef,

Venison was selling not long ago in
Vermont for eight cents cheaper than
good beef, for the slaughter of deer
was unprecedented this year. The
usual bag for the state is about $50,
but careful estimates indicate that I'D.

killed. AS the meat cannot be taken
from the state except by hunter from
