night, with two half hours on for food

WAS working II had Just come TO be

the affair was transferred TO the courts,
there being a law IN New York forbid

That law exists no longer. The court
Of special sessions, seconded by the
court OF appeals, has rescued the women
Of the state from it.
II Is decision vibrating with emo
tional intensity. II starts Of with the
bold claim that ct must be assumed
that the woman (Katie Mead) was n
willing worker for a willing employer"
(What does this mean, thought That
Katie wasn't dragged into the room by
her hair and attached to post by a
chaini)
The decision proceeds, approaching
closer TO specific explanation Of
Katie Mead's willingness and freedom.

York, 1t appears, reserves forever TO
the working women of the state of New

Of law" Labor is property. The right
to sell labor is liberty. The anti-night-
work law is a law which isn't due pro-
cess of law. And women is fully a per-
son. Therefore But let the decision
proceed some more. The anti nightwork
law, thinks the court, is not a health
statute. "There is nothing which indi-
Gates that its object is to promote the
health or the public welfare" (Well,
that is going it rather strong, even in
a good cause. What could have been
the idea in the minds of the reformers,
including large numbers of women, who
agitated in favor Of the law All, here
it is!)
This law is designed to degrade the

rides him down and fires. IT, the other hand, the
lion charges, the hunter continues to fire until the
lion is about two hundred yards away, when he
mounts his horse and runs away. The lion follows,
but usually stops and the hunter dsmounts and
starts firing again. If the lion is wounded and can
neither run away nor charge then the hunter con-

Most cases of mauling by lions due to following
wounded animals into tall grass or bushes. The
lion is usually found in rocky country or where there
is a dry river bed, a zebra pasture and not
far from the water. He starts out Mt night ON Il

feeding he goes to some stream to drink and then

of Il mans head. through his lungs After he has
been struck in the heart he go but short dis
tance, while if shot through the lungs he will go fur
ther. but will usually slow down from loss OF blood
and interfered respiration
The hunter usually sends the porter to run after
him until he falls stops, and has another native
climb if there any to watch the direc-
ton in which he has gone. This having been deter
mined, the hunter then follows and when near
him approaches from the leeward side and shoots
him in the heart brain. Generally, however. the
rhno does not charge the hunter sees him feeding
resting creeps up in his lee until within easy range
and fires fatal shot.
Hunting the Lion
The lion is the most dangerous of all African ami
mails, although he usually runs away, and as his
senses are more acute than those of man he will
probably detect him when in the bush and disappear
without having been seen. On the plain he can be
seen running away, but he cannot be oyertaken un-
less the hunter is on horseback. When wounded he
will to the tall grass the bush If he can, but
if wounded and there is no cover he will stand or
charge hunter must be very careful in approach
ing a wounded on and fire straight and not go too
near, for if he does not get the lion the lion is
very apt to get him.
The hunter must also be careful not to follow him
into the bush as he never knows where the animal
until perhaps he is too near, and the lion VIII have
the advantage and may spring him. The lion is
twice heavy Il man and twice as strong, and in
tussle has the advantage IN close quarters In the
open, however the hunter has the advantage, If at
tackled, as he has the rifle and can fire number of
times while the animal is charging him.
In shooting lions nowadays ponies are very val
liable. For distance under two hundred yards
lion can run faster than pony, but for longer dis
tance the pony is faster. When lion is driven out
of the bush out of river bed to a plain by the
porters and away If not killed or badly wounded
he will probably escape; but Il hunter follows on
horse and he will the animal down, the
lion becomes winded and stops after running quarter
of a mile The hunter dismounts when about two
hundred three hundred yards from him and opens
fire.
If the lion starts TO run away the hunter again
mounts his horse and follows him until he stops

lows a herd on the plain for hours without shooting
any.
The hunter usually goes up the ridge in the
morning hunt far away from camp by eight
o'clock the is rather hot and he takes off his
khaki jacket and rolls up his sleeves. The first gun
bearer goes ahead with the light rife. then come
the hunter and the second gunbearer behind with the
heavy express rife Personally always carry my
rifle. The gunbearer has very keen sight He
the game first and says. "Oh. master, master
there. there The hunter then looks in the direction
mentioned and finally the animal.
When game is seen the plan of action varies act
cording to the variety. In case it be dangerous

rifle, loaded with hard nosed cartridges All game
is approached from the leeward side so that they
may not catch the wind or scent Stalking is great
feature of the shooting as elsewhere crawling along

from tree to tree, from ant hill to ant hill, until

The buffalo not only has a keen scent but also has

however try to avoid the hunter and away when
they detect his presence The rhnoceros the animal
that is the most likely to charge, and when in
rhnoceros country the hunter must be on the lookout
the animal may rush at him from any point if he

When rhinoceros suddenly charges a hunter and

starts to shoot however. account of the clear
ness of the air it is impossible for him to tell the
range and he often thinks that he is shooting
animal at $50 yards, while in reality he is 500
more yards away The animals, however, can judge
the distance to a nicely. and when the hunter ap-
proaches too near they gradually walk away or else
they off for a distance. First the hartebeest,
then the zebra and then the small gazelles. The
hunter follows them and the same thing occurs lie

away with the rest of the herd. He sometimes fol-

which he goes into quiet shady place and sleeps
during the day. Very often kill is seen-that is the
body of animal killed and partly eaten the night
before. The lion often goes back toward evening
after having had good rest and starts to feed again,
thus affordng a good opportunity for the hunter to
bag him.
Sometimes lions are bated by putting out live
animal tethered or that has been killed and
shooting the lion from blind when he begins to
eat it.
The percentage of lions that charge is rather small.
One man who has killed twenty lions told me that
he had a lion charge but once. The per-
centage of persons that mauled is also small One
firm of outftters for hunting expeditions reported
that between hundred and three hundred lions
had been killed by the hunters that it had sent out
during the last season without having suffered the
slightest injury.
There is considerable luck in lion shooting. Some
have lived in lion countries for years and have
done much trekking without having a single lion.
whereas others have and killed one almost i'm
mediately after their arrival One man saw fourteen
together and retired without shooting. Another was
talking with his fanc6e one day when she said,
"Oh Jack, wish you would kill lion" "Al right"
said Jack, and he sailed forth He went to nearby
river and eight lions the other side. He raised
his rifle and fired one dropped and the others went
away. He fired again, but the animal did not stir.
He finally concluded that it must be dead, crossed
the river with some natives, skinned the lion and
returned with the trophy In another case, one of
