faithful lioness still holding her be-
dead.
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 had wounded that !

cub of the lioness the guard shot. We
raised the cubs ION the bottle" For
playing and romping like kittens and

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. 1t
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, I 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 ST.
lence of fatigue over the resting cara

stiffness and we rushed with ready

from the lions jaws. all of us laughed.
Things went from bad to worse, when

hold of the lions tail and helped
things by pulling it. Up to this time
the young lion was only eating For

seemed to enjoy the fact that we all
stood around and looked on, as we
had often done at feeding time.
AS soon as the lions tail was

roar and struck him down with its
paw. Forget" jumped up, drew his
knife, and thrust it into the animals

Forget 1 said, after his foot had
been dressed, you were a friend of

German museum. When we reached
suitable hunting grounds we camped
and set out daily in different direo-
tons in small parties, a German sci
enlist accompanying each. One morn
ing shikaree came in with the news
that the weld little way to the north
was covered with game. The hunters
with their rifles and the scientists
with their notebooks and cameras, set
out, making wide detour. We d.
vided into parties, a shikaree at the
head of each, with the exception Of
those two which van Keenan, and my
self commanded. We soon reached
the game. There seemed to be thou
sands of every variety on the weld.
Huge Gland, beautifully striped zebras,
hartebeest, impala, koodoo, gemsbok,
springbok, in fact there seemed to be
congress of all the antelope in At

On the outskirts near clump of trees
a number of giraffe lowered above the
rest of the animals. Van Keenan, set
out in their direction and the rest of
us waited till the other men started
shooting on the opposite side of the
weld, thus driving the herds in our d.
rection.
After long, firing wait of four
hours, the cracking of rifles in the
distance brought us to attention and
told us that the work of death had
commenced. Every head on the weld
was raised; every animal, for a Sec
ond, was still and silent as a statue.
Then, with one accord, they turned
and came galloping toward us, the
ground trembling under the thunder
of their hoofs.

WATCH THE PITCHER
BY CHARLES CARR,
Manager Of indianapolis.

The greatest fault with a ma
jority of poor batters is that
they try to outguess the pitcher.
They try to call the turn on the
| other fellows game, when the
chances are overwhelmingly
against them. What they should
do is to keep their eye on the
ball, watch where it is coming,
and try to meet it there with
the bat. Many players appar-
emily cannot help from trying
to outguess the pitcher. They
say they will not attempt it,
but they get up to the plate
and do that very thing. They
make up their minds that an
out curve is coming, and then
they are made to look foolish
and have to dodge for their
lives when a fast inshoot is put
over the plate. The thing to do
is to watch the pitcher and the
ball every second.

progress temporarily. At this moment
Mr.. Carter noticed another bear run
ming off from another part Of the
apiary. He took shot at it, but must
have missed, as no sign of blood was
found afterward. The first bear which
he had wounded soon regained it's feet
and got so close to Mr.. Carter as to
strike at him vigorously with one of
it's paws. Mr.. Carter bounded be-
hind an adjacent tree, where he got
in two more shots from his rifle be-
fore the bear could reach him. These
bullets put an end to bruin. The bears

he Giraffe - Awkward and
Harmless.

II is peculiar that such savage
marked much like the giraffe, the
most awkward and harmless animal
in Africa. At one time the giraffe
was common down as far as Cape
Town, but now it is found no farther
south than the Transvaal Gradually
it is being driven into the interior.
The giraffe makes it's home in the
desert country, being able to go for
long periods without drinking. There
are large herds on the Kalahari des-
ert, where they are practically safe
from the hunters rifle CRATES are
also very common in the country to
which Mr.. Roosevelt is going. They
of the game protection laws 1 have
seen one party bring down 20 CRATES
in day.
1t is easy to form an idea of the
giraffe's awkwardness when you take
into consideration that the animal is
from Is to 20 feet high, measuring
from the ground to it's head, and it is
mostly legs and neck, the legs being
longer than the neck. When a giraffe
drinks it must spread it's legs out an
an angle of about 80 degrees to lower
it's body sufficiently to reach the wa
ter.
The favorite method of the Beers in
hunting the giraffe is to ride it down
on horseback. This affords great sport
and a good horse will overtake one of
these animals after long chase. The
giraffe presents a peculiar spectacle
when it is running The body seems
to gain on the head, which waves to
and fro and is jerked into position at
every second step. Mr.. Roosevelt will
have to depend solely on shooting for
his giraffe sport, as the country he
will visit in is not favorable to horse
hunting.

The Cheetah and Van Keenan,.

The weld was spotted with car
casses, and here and there an animal
struggled in pain from a cruel, dis
abling wound. The hundreds of ma
tives with the expedition poured over
the weld and commenced skinning.
The scientists took measurements and
photographs, and by night the hides
were all in camp.

toned the natives, but none had any
news of him. We lit huge fires to
guide him to the camp. There was no
possibility Of his being lost, for he was
Boer and knew the weld like KAT
fir. All night we expected him to turn
up at the camp. The lions and Loop
ards roared, the hyenas laughed,
jackals snarled and a thousand dis
NAL bowls made night fiendish, as the
animals fought over the carcasses left
after our hunt.

camp and at once searching parties
were formed to find the missing hun

Two Years for George young,

George Young, convicted in the fed eral court of forging a s5 money order, was sentenced by Judge F. s. Nave, yesterday afternoon, to two years in the territorial penitentiary, bringing to a. close one of the most interesting eases in the annals of the local courts. Young eloped last summer with Mrs. Blanche Johnsen, the wife of Gus Jobnsen, a miner, with whom he had been sooming. The couple took with them sewing machine, four chairs, a rocking chair and box of bedding, which they stored at Naquin s warehouse, whcr, the goods were recovered. They also took with them horse, alleged to be the property of Gus Johnsen, and sil00 the woman held in trust for her bus band. The couple were indicted oy tn. federal grand jury on several charges, but the cases fell through, and the wom- an was set at liberty. Young, however, was indicted by the federal gran. jury for the forgery of a $5 money cr,ler, which was addressed to local negro of the same name. He signei ne pa per and cashed it at San Carlos. His defense was that the similarity Of the names led him to believe that the mon. ey was meant for him, but United States Attorney Alexander showed that the money order had been accompanied by letter making it plain that 't was not addressed to the cowboy

SHORT STORIES OF THE CITY
Wright was Right

J. c. Wright, charged with stabbing J. B. Clements in fight which occurred several days ago, was dismissed by Jus tiee Hinson Thomas yesterday on mo- ton of District Attorney W. G. Shute, the evidence at the preliminary hearing going to show that Clements was the aggressor. The men fought in sa- loon down Broad street, pummelling each other heartily and rolling in the floor in fierce tussle. Both were ar rested, and on the way to the jail, Clements discovered that he was bleed ing from a wound in the abdomen. IL was found, however, that the cut was not very deep, not enough to penetrate the intestinal wall, and the injured man recovered rapidly. Nobody saw the knife in the hands of Wright and mono saw the wound inflicted, bus after Clements complained of being cut, Wright was seen to have blood on his hand, and the conclusion was that this was from Clements wound, a theory which was abandoned yesterday when it was shown that both men had bled rather profusely from their battered faces.
