Two of my men got badly mauled Dy
q lion, so our camp had to stop Where
it was till they could be moved. After
a time one of them was able 10 walk
about with his arm in sling, and the
other was getting on we'll, so one nlght
/ decided to leave the big camp next
day and go with two or three camels
to some villages only days march
away. Early the next morning Ma
homed Moor, the headman, started
with the camels. stopped behind TO
get some breakfast. Just as we were
going to follow, camelman, who mad
gone UP the river-bed close by to get
some water. came running back to say
that lion had been down to drink
at one of the shallow sand wells in the
night started at once with Abdul
lah and two other trackers, telling my
pony-boy to follow on as soon as he
could get the pony saddled. When
tracking, | have always found 1t the
best plan to have the pony led some
distance behind The boy ought to
have no difficulty in following the
tracks of two or three men and a
lion, and if the pony is kept close
up, it is sure to stamp or blow its
nose at the critical moment.
When we got to the well there was
the spoor plain enough in the sand,
but rather blurred by some rain which
had fallen at daybreak. This made
the tracking little difficult after we
left the river.bed but when we had
followed it slowly for scme distance,
we came to place where the lion had
lain down uader a thick bush, evi-
dently to shelter from the rain, as tle
spoor after this was quiet distinct on
the top OF the damp ground. This
made us think we were in for a short
track, for it mast have been light

GOOD ADVERTISING.

We notice that the immigration
commission of Wisconsin is sending
out some mighty good advertising for
this section. A folder has this on it's
title page: "Why not get on the
ground in the water power district
If North Central Wisconsin" On the
inside of the folder are some facts told
very plainly. Here is one of the para
graphs from copy sent out by the
commissioner:
81 think the records have proved that
the grasses and clover of Northern
Wisconsin have a characteristic, natu-
raj flavor which they impart to milk
and through it to the butter and cheese
made therefrom. So Characteristic is
this good flavor that | think this As
ISOLATION of Northern Wisconsin coun-
ties can reap good benefit from a
movement to promote the branding of
all dairy products from this section of
the state as Made in Northern Wis
consin.' Dairying in this locality is
sure TO be successful provided the
farmers will keep profitable cows.
Clover, | understand, grows wild in
the woods and there is no better feed
for dairy cows than clover"

CHANGES SUGGESTED.

At last Friday evenings session of
the council, Supt. S. B. Tobey ex-
hibited plans for the proposed Sixth
ward school, which have been drawn
by Van Ryn & DeGellecke of Mil
waukee and stated some changes
which had been proposed. BY com
pleting the first floor and two rooms
on the second at present he said S11,-
600 could be saved. The other rooms
provided for in the plans for the
second story can be finished later
wheff additional room is required.
The draughtsmen suggested that the
school be built on the southwest cor
ner of the site. This will give the
school more light than if built where
originally planned, will save cutting
down the pine grove which will afford
the children shade and a fine play
ground. The Concordia Insurance
Co. of Milwaukee, has agreed to buy
the school bonds to run at the rate of
four per cent.

A MIRAGE.

The Stevens Point Journal tells of
a very beautiful mirage seen in that
city last Friday morning, 1t says:
THE scene appeared TO rise from
the horizon in the west, or little be-
yond the river. Then the view spread
out in slightly elevated position and
was lost to sight as the scene seemed
to terminate in the haze of Lake
Michigan. The view seemed TO take
in that part of the country embraced
between Lake Winnebago and Lake
Michigan from point below Oshkosh,
thence northward through Green Bay
to Deaths Door The Fox river, the
rolling hills, green fields and forests
spread out before the eye in most
beautiful panorama and presented a
sight, the like OF which was never seen
in Stevens Point before"

LET CONTRACT FOR NEW ROAD
TO MOON.

The town board of the town of
Mosinee has awarded the contract to
build the remaining mile of road on
what is known as the Town Line
road between this city and Moon to
Carl Kronenwetter who will COM
mence work on this in short time.
This, when completed will open a
shorter and more direct route to that
village. Besides this a new rural
route has been recommended and will
probably be installed as soon as this
piece of road has been completed.
This route will be known as route No.
2 and will serve the people of the
Moon district, those living on the
Weeks road and those living between
Dancy and this village on the Stevens
Point road.-Mosinee Times.

WAxED ELOQUENT.

with the eloquence which is born
TO few men and with the earnestness
of man who is making an appeal for
his own freedom A. b. Barney of
Spencer, Wis, an attorney and real
estate dealer, pleaded his own cause
in municipal court Thursday before
Judge A. H. Goss. and was set free,n
says the Oshkosh Northwestern.
Barney had been confined in the
city jail short time pending his trial
on the charge of passing a check with
out having at the time thereof de-
posit of money in the bank, and not
having deposit for five days there
after, and with fraudulent intent.
Barney, the prisoner, acting as his
own attorney, took up the cross ex-
animation of Bridge, 1.-THE complain
anti and before he had concluded the
court room was treated 20 one of the
shrewdest, cleverest bits of question
ing in many day.
IOoAhCt . 4hNSdQQCu. tSSjl-
fed that he was Barneys agent at
Fond du Lac and that the prisoner
had money coming from rents in
Fond du Lac at the time he gave the
check. McCadden said he knew
Barney had $3.50 anyway, and that
Barney supposed it was in the bank.
McCadden said that when Barney
came TO him to make good the Bridge
check he refused to advance any OF
Barney's money for fear that gentle
man would waste all he was given for
liquor
Barney's plea to the judge was a
brilliant effort. He quoted points OF
the law with intimate knowledge, as
lawyers in the room at the time
stated afterwards.
1t was Barney's request that a jury
be dispensed with. There was little
doubt as TO the outcome OF the CASE
after he had finished examining the
witnesses, and Judge A H. Goss &C
quilted the man of fraudulent intent
in passing a check.
