steal forward until the lion is sighted
or ringed in small clump of bush.
Then, when all Is over, and the skin
Is being taken off, how pleasant 1t is
to sit In the shade, listening to the
excited talk of the natives, and let
ting your nerves quiet down again
after the hopes and fears of the morn
ing. You ride home to camp with the
lion skin behind your saddle, while
one of your men after another gives
his version of the mornings proceed
ings in hunting song. On the other
hand, when you get shot, and miss
after long and difficult track, 1t
seems as If any number of lions killed
in the future will never make up for
the loss of this one, which is always
the biggest lion, carrying the finest
name you have ever seen. The ride
home to camp is then a silent one, as
no lion means no sheep for the me.>
and they are correspondingly docS.S.
hearted.
The first thing to be done in track
ing is to find fresh spoor. Natives
will often bring news of spoor, but
unluckily the average villagers idea
of fresh track is rather hazy. I
have several times gone long way
to find at the end track several days
old. On one occasion two natives
arrived. saying there were fresh lion
tracks in a river-bed, luckily not more
that half mile from camp, but when
we got there the fresh lion tracks
turned out to be the spoor of two hy-
enas. at least week old.
The spoor of the large spotted
hyena is not unlike that of lionesS
on certain ground, but the differencs>
can easily be told, because a hyera
has claws like dog, whereas the re-
tractive claws of lion are always
sheathed and leave no mark. The beat
way to find spoor is to look for it
yourself with good trackers. Should
there be any villages near camp
which lions have been in the habit
of raiding it is very necessary to get
there as early as possible in the
morning. II once the large flocks OF
| sheep and goats and herds of camels
which have been shut W in the vii.
| lagos all Fight are let out, the ground
all about Is a mass of indistinguish-
able footprints, and every Path from
the village is choked with long strings
of beasts going of to their feeding
grounds. Hitting off lions spoor
under these circumstances is almost
impossible, and the dust raised by the
herds Is very disagreeable.
Besides villages, any well in the
| neighborhood is a good place to look
for spoor. If lion is about there
ought to be no difficulty in picking up
his spoor within day or two.

Gary, Ind, July 81.
Editor THE TIMEe.-
Among the negroes Of Gary there is
TO be found two distinct and different
classes Of people; good negroes and
bad negroes The chief characteristic
Of the good class of negroes is that
they are always trying to improve
themselves. their homes. their churches,
their city and every person that comes
In contact with on the other hand.
the bad class of negroes in Cary have
entirely different aims and lead en-
tirelv different kinds Of lives. The bad
negroes Of Gary are the scum of Chi
cago and other large cities. they have
either left Chicago on freight trains or
been driven out of the city by the po-
lice. They come into Gary with no
other intention than to live as easy as
they can get as drunk as they in
suit as many women as possible and
do all that they can to pull themselves
down to disgrace their homes. their
churches their race and make as
much trouble as possible for the po-
lice and iniure the city as much as
possible Many Of them do not want
to work. even if they do work. it IS
only for a short time when they be-
come drunk or start fight and have
to be discharged. They hang around
saloons and pool rooms and street
corners, insult women, dress in dirty,
slovenly manner and care nothing
about themselves or anybody else
It is to be regretted that there is
such large number Of bad negroes in
Gary. There is no use trying to deny
It. but that many of the negroes IN
Gary are Of the bad class. In fact they
are so ebad that the good negroes o.

Mother love, which, as Tennyson
says, runs through all the world, is
limitless.
1t is as spontaneous. as exhaustless
as the love of God.
An exchange tells the story of an
Indian mother down on the Texas
coast who, with her children, faced
starvation. The mother searched ev-
erywhere along the shore for food
Finally she could walk no more.
Then this poor mother cut a strip Of
flesh from her own body, which she
used as a bait to tempt the crabs!
And thus she fed her babes until help
came to her
Mother love demanded the pound Of
flesh, and there was no Sinking, and
there would have been no Sinking had
the flesh been taken nearest the moth
er's heart
Motherhood pays its debts to the last
farthing.
Not long ago the newspapers told the
story Of how Mrs. Ella Macarthur jour
neyed on foot 1000 miles, drawing a
little express wagon, that she might
keep her children together and reach
some relatives In the north.
It was the only way the mother
knew, and she gladly undertook the
/ journey. 1t was a true heroic-only
one of the many in the annals of moth
er love
Love for her unborn child leads the
future mother down into the valley
and shadow of willingly, cheer
fully, hopefully-an love leads her t.
offer herself through all the years 6
living sacrifice for that child.
It matters not whether the mother
be rich or poor
Against the protest Of her physician:
the daughter Of Queen Victoria i'm
pulsively kissed her child who wa.
dying Of dlphtheria The mother diet
because Of it, but she could not deny
the dying request of her little one foi
a kiss
| Mother love gives all.
For the love of her Maynard boz
Mrs. Thaw poured out the devotion O
a mothers heart and unstintedly CAV,

gallows.
