A WHITE CHRISTMAS

Those who wanted white Christ
mas had their disires grati6ed to a
limited extent. After two weeks Of
dry, crisp cold weather, ideal Holiday
weather, snow came early Christmas
morning, several inches of it, fol-
lowed by downpOur of rain, which
prevailed all day, rendering it very
disagreeable for all those who attend
ed the church services, the theatres
or other affairs. This was followed
by another snowfall early Saturday
evening, and this continued nearly
all night, and Sunday.

THE YOUTHS COMPANION CALENDAR
FOR 1910

The publishers of The Youths
Companion will, as always at this
season, present to every subscriber
whose subscription (sl-75) is paid for
1910 a beautiful Calendar for the new
year. The picture panel which sug-
gests the title, Venetian for the
Calendar was painted by the famous
marine artist, Thomas Moran. His
Venetian scene, reproduced in the
Calendar by thirteen-color litho-
Sraphy, will be found well worth
preserving, long after I9l0is gone by.
The new volume ofThe Companion
for 1910 will be like treaSure-chest,
packed from cover to cover with all
manner of things useful and pleasure
able. If you cannot find any one
who is not now a subscriber to The
Companion, the only correct thing
to do in the circumstances is to give
it to yourself, for you do not want
to be lonesome at Christmas time.

The Leopard, cra,fltiest i !: Beast in
the Junule. ::

q
From the lion the thoughts of the
hunter turn naturally to the most
crafty of African animals. the leopard
the tiger of the Beers. *>
The leopard is the >brainiest of the
carnivora. The stories tolS~-Ss' the
natives and hunters of itss Eleverness
would fill volumes: One j ding is GER
tain, it gets it's food easief than any
other animal. The methods are sim
pie in the extreme. It ascends a tree
beside a waterhole and waits for its
victim to come to drink, and then,
flying like a thunderbolt from the
treetop, strikes down its prey with a
blow, at the same time sinking it's
teeth into vital spot.
On one occasion had the good for
tune to witness q scene, in which 4
leopard was the chief actor. that left
an indelible picture in the gallery of
my memory.
Twas hunting one day, with shika-
rec, for food. We were unsuccessful
in getting a shot on the weld and so
decided to wait at a vlei (waterhole)
till the game came to drink. It was
a beautifully calm day, with not tho
slightest movement in the air. We
made a bed of leaves in sheltering
nook and prepared for action. The
smoothness of the deep blue water be-
fore us was broken only by the wa
ter lizards as they leaped after the
silver dragon flies. Big, heavy-winged,
brilliant-hued butterflies few erratic.

faithful noness still holding her be-
loved cub in her mouth. She was
dead. :-.r
1t seemed a pity to kill this moth
erly beast, but it was too late to be
sorry. How she ever passed the guard
battles me. A few days afterward,
while one of the shikarees (native
hunters) was stalking antelope for
food, he came across a weak little cub
that was evidently dying of starvation.
He brought it to the camp. 1t was so
like the one I had wounded that
have no doubt that it was the other
cub Of the lioness the guard shot. We
raised the cubs ION the bottle" For
playing and romping like kittens and
year they were the pets Of the camp,
following US in our marches across
the country.
The Cubs and "Forget."
But all good things come to an end,
and so did the cubs. One day we
were resting in the shade of a for
est, avoiding the heat of noon and
most of the natives were asleep. It
happened that the cubs were put in
charge Of the most useless native in
the camp as his sole care. On account
of this natives unhappy faculty of for
getting, christened him Forget" "
Well, Forget" had fed the cubs since
the day they were captured and they
followed him as though he were their
mother. This day there was the 81
lence of fatigue over the resting cara
van.

stiffness and we rushed with ready

prey for a second. Then ! the COW
charged and hurled the marauder
from her PROSTATE young: A fight
commenced in earnest.
The leopard sprang to its feet and
in an instant was on the back Of the
cow. With the agility of a wrestler
she fell and rolled over her aggressor,
arising to her feet again in a fash.
Before the leopard could spring she
rushed at him with a below like. fog
horn, struck him full on and tossed
him into the water. In a moment the
leopard was on the bank again. It
sprang at the cows throat but missed
as she lodged go aside Again the
leopard sprang. The cow fell back,
lifted her head and caught it full un-
derneath, her horn penetrating the
leopard's body. The leopard roared
with pain as it fell to the ground,
bleeding freely from its double wound,
and the COW was covered with gashes
from its antagonists claws.
The leopard sprang again on the
back of the cow, but she easily shook
him of. He stood for a moment and
then tried to stagger away. The but.
falo made a rush, and. hurling him
to the ground, thrust her horns again
into his helpless body. He offered no
resistance, but rolled over on his side
and died.
A young friend of mine, Jan van
Reenan, was killed in German East
Africa under peculiar circumstances.
AS no one saw the happening it is
hard to say how it exactly occurred.
We were hunting for specimens for
