Fighting 4 Lion.

Nothing causes the East African col
onist more genuine concern than that his
guest should not have been provided
with lion. The Hon. Winston Spencer
Churchill says that failure to produce
lion preys on the colonist's mind until il
becomes a regular obseSSion. He feels
that some deep reproach is laid upon his
own hospitality and the reputation OF his
adopted country. In "My African Jour
ney," Mr.. Churchill tells something OF
the pursuit OF this noble game.
This is the way in which they hunt
lions: First find the lion, lured TO kill,
driven from a reed-bed or kicked up in
continently by the way. Once viewed,
he must never be lost sight Of for mo-
ment. Mounted on ponies Of more or
less approved fidelity, three or four dar-
ing Britons or SoualiS gallop after him,
across rocks, holes, tuSSockS, through
high grass, thorn scrub underground; /;
turning him, shepherdiug him, heading
him this way and that until he is brought
TO bay.
For his part the lion is no seeker OF
quarrels he is often described in accents
of contempt. His object throughout is TO
save his skin. II, being unarmed, you
meet six or seven lions Unexpectedly, all
you need to do, according 10 my informa-
ton, Is to speak TO them sternly, and they
will slink away, while you throw stone
at them to hurry them up. All the high
est authorities recommend this.
But when pursued from place 10 place,
chased hither and thither by wheeling
horSemen, the lion becomes embittered.
First he begins TO growl and roar at his
enemies, in order TO tenify them and
make them leave him in peace. Finally,
when every attempt at peaceful perSlla-
sion has failed, he pulls up abruptly and
offers battle. Once he has done this, he
will run no more. He means TO fight to
the death.
And when a lion, maddened with the
agony of a bullet-wound, distressed by
long and hard pursuit, or, most of all, a
lioness in defense Of her cubs, is defin-
itely committed to battle, death is the on
ly possible conclusion Broken limbs,
broken jaws, a body broken from end TO
end, lungs pierced through and through
none OF these count. II must be death,
instant and utter, for the lion, or down
goes the man, mauled by septic claws
and fetid teeth, crushed and crunched,
and poisoned aiterward to make doubly
sure.

Two Men.

Two men toiled side by side from sun to sun
And both were poor:
Both sat with children, when the day was done,
About their door,
One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud
And shining moon;
The other with his head in sadness bowed.
Made night OF noon.
One loved each tree and flower and singing bird
On mount or plain;
No music in the soul OF one was stirred
BY leaf or rain.
One saw the good in every fellow-nan,
And hoped the best;
The other marveed at his Masters plan,
And doubt confessed
One having God above and Heaven below,
Was satisfied:
The other discontented, lived in woe.
And hopeless died

cussed last evening at the smoker given by the newly organized Chamber of Commerce at the Exchange Hotel. Despite the smaller attendance than expected, those present joined hands with the Chamber of Commerce in a patriotic and progressive spirit for the future prosperity of Montgomery.
 Nathan Lobman. President of the or Nanization presided H. S. Kealhofer made an address on the situation m Montgomery. He pointed out the ao- vantages of the city, its resources and industries. It's unique geographical To- oation and its unexceiled transporta- ton facilitiee. He laid stress on the development of the river tramc to- ward the building yp of the city.
 Continufng,e Mir. kealhofer discussed the freight rate question. He contrast ed the freight rates from shipping points to Mobile. and Pensacola with those of Montgomery. He described how commodities could be shipped from St Louis to Mobile or Pensacola through Montgomery and then re- shipped. from those places back to this city Tt less than would be charged If these commodities were shipped from St. Louis to- Montgomery direct. He showed in figures the discriminations in the freight rates of flour. grain. su- gar and packing house products be- tween these cities.
 Continuing, he described the growth of such cities as New Orleans. Kansas City, and Pittsburg which he said was due to these river shipping facilities and their cheap freight rates.

Captain Ferguson. United states En- gfneer In this city. made few re- marks in which he outlined the possi- bilities of the Alabama River traffic. He showed the present status of the river and also discussed the Coosa Riv- CT project for the development of this great river valley through Alabama. He said that MontEomery had not even a freight rate which she could have if she used the river to q greater extent and the possible freight rates which could be secured were decidedly lower than the potential rates now charged.
 J. W. Durr, Alderman Saul and Pres- fdent Lobman also made some remarks along this line and emphasizing the fact that cooperation was needed to accomplish these results which would eventually result in the upbuflding Of the oity.
 Membership cards were then passed around and large number of those present joined the new organiza rion. Following this refreshments were ssrv- ed. .
 The Chamber of Commerce expects to hold its next smoker and social evening on the first Tuesday in Novem- Der.

Witness Says Girl He Is Alleged to
Have Abducted Declared She
Could Shoot Him Like
Dog
IRy Associated Press.l


TACOMA, March 13.-During the
trial of Joshua Klein, the radioactive"
philosopher, this morning witnesses
testified that Miss Culberson, whom
Klein is alleged to have assaulted, de-
clared some time before the alleged as
sault that Klein was perfect devil
and that she could shoot him down like
a dog.
Witnesses also declared she said on
one occasion she certainly would have
killed him if she had had a weapon,
after he had refused to permit her
niece, Dora Sauvegeot, to leave his
chalet in Switzerland.
A letter purporting to be from Rose
Karasek, the other Tacoma girl held in
the chalet against the wishe sof her
parents, was introduced. 1t is pecul-
iarly written with mixture of capital
and small letters and contains several
references to the higher atmosphere, y
etc.
Believes in His Divinity
The expressions and capitalization
indicate plainly that the girl believes
that Klein is a divinity.
Klein took the stand shortly before
noon in his own behalf.
Klein said he was married and had
two children and that he was spe-
cialist in nervous diseases. He de-
rlared he had spent 100000 of his
own money for the relief Of humanity
In various ways and denied emphat-
lcally that he had wormed money out
of unsuspecting persons in support Of
his institution.
He Indignantly denied the existence
Of immoral practices at his Switzerland
chalet and said the women now there
would bear him out.
Klein declared the Sauvageot and
Karasek girls could leave his place
whenever they desired, but they had
refused on the ground that the "at-
mosphere" in their homes was not such
as to encourage the higher life.

CIRCULATION
A PRESIDENTIAL APPEAL.

The appeal of President Taft for an endowment fund of two millions that the Red Cross society of America may take its proper place in this great international institution ought to bring cut a generous and sstisfac- tory response. It appears that we have not set cornerstone under the American Red Cross yet, but it is likely now to be done. Japan leads all other count tries in the magnitude of it's permanent fund, and Germany comes next, while our Red Cross stat us does not compare with our rank for wealth and ability to do things. The American people have always in emergencies stood first for liberality, but ft Is natural that the society should have ready funds to meet any public calamity instantly, as do sew eral of the other nations. The pres ident is proud also to be first off, cer of this society, and it is a good time te put this humane organization on ita feet for permanency and des- patch.
