In the Jaws of a Lion,

A lion comes at its enemy at full
speed, galloping low, and dashes 9
man standing upright to the ground by
the full impact Of its body. Major In.
verarity states that 1.-The claws and
teeth entering the flesh do not hurt as
much as you would think" but that
the squeeze given by the jaws on the
bone Is really painful. When knocked
over he was still keenly conscious and
felt none Of the dreamy sensations ex.
perienced by Livingstone.
Major Swaine, struck down by q
honess going full gallop. was uncon-
scious for some minutes and did not
know what had happened till he found
himself standing up after the accident.
Il felt no PAIN" he writes, mot. l be-
lieve, owing to any special interposi-
ton Of Providence. but simply that the
shock and loss Of blood made me in
capable of feeling it. There was no
pain for few days till it was brought
on by the swelling of my arm on the
twelve days ride to the coast. Lon

ARMOUR PROPOSES
TO FILL CONTRACTS
Spectator Bringing Big Cargoes
Of Wheat to Chicago

Chicago. May pa. Ogden Armour.
by emulating the example Of his faith
err, the late P. D. Armour, in the lat
ters famous deal with Joseph Letter,
has saved himself from heavy loss in
his 100000 bushel speculation in May
wheat. -.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Armour, the
elder, smashed Letters attempted cor
ner in wheat, caused the utter col
lapse of his deal, brought upon him a
loss of $15,000,00O and drove him for
ever from the wheat pit by bringing
millions of bushels of the great food
staple to Chicago from Duluth in a
fleet of steam freighters that rammed
their way through the ice of Lake Su.
perior. Letter had supposed this feat
impossible.
Mr.. Armour, the youngest, fighting q
duel in the pit with Theodore H. Wa.
terman, the millionaire Spectator of
Albany, N. Y, who is now operating a
corner in the May cereal, has STAYED
off defeat by similar maneuver. The
Armour Grain company now has en-
route from Duluth huge cargoes of
wheat for delivery to Waterman on or
before May 81, the last day for filling
the contracts.
Waterman did not expect that Ar.
mour would or could bring the wheat
here and looked forward to making a
private settlement on his own terms
J. Ogden Armour, we'll satisfied with
the prospects for filing his wheat con.
tracts, sailed on the Mauritania on its
last trip to Liverpool.

Cornish Humor.

The magistrate at the Liskeard po.
lice court might well have excused the
laughter which greeted the remark of
a police witness only short time ago
who said with all seriousness: 'FHe
was drunk, your honor, and couldn't
stand. I, told him to 60 away, and as
he wouldn't locked him up"
The laugh in another court was
against the solicitor who severely ask
ed, "Were you present when you heard
this?" ~.
Mixed metaphors are not peculiar
nor indeed common failing Of the
Cornishman, but: a certain eloquent
town councillor quite recently got en-
tangled when in the course of a pro-
tracted debate on the momentous sub
ject of the local dust bins he declared
Indignantly, 1T is time we put our
foot down with a loud voice. -English

THREE GIRLS LOSE
LIVES BY DROWNING
Perish While Boating in Lake
Byron, Near Huron, S. D.

Huron, S. D., May 24.-Lydia, aged
nine years, and Leila, aged sixteen,
daughters of Charles H. Bonsteel of

A Woman Governor,

Queens have ruled many nations, but
Pennsylvania is the only one of the
United States that ever had a woman
for governor. A passage unearthed
from Armor's Governors Of Pennsyl-
vania," page 1875, says:
ION the 30th of July, 171S, William
Penn died, at the age of seventy-four.
By his will his wife, Hannah, was
made his sole executrix and assumed
the management of colonial affairs, ex.
ecuting this difficult task with rare
tact and business capacity. She be-
came says Watson, in effect our gov
ernor, ruling us by her deputies or
lieutenant governors during all the
term of her children's minority"

Something Hotel Clerk. Remember


"There's lots less danger of the
night clerk forgetting an early call
left by some guest than most travellers
imagine" remarked a hotel manager
the other day. The fact is" he de-
clared. 1.-The average night clerk could
not forget one Of those early calls II he
wanted to. You know. it's mighty
lonesome job the night clerk has
There is little for him to do, few ar.
rivals to take care of and little to
break the monotony of his long vigil.
About the only fun the night clerk
has is those early morning calls When
was night clerk | used to count
the hours .until could start in on
those early calls. There was nothing
else to do or think about, and it would
keep going through my mind what fun
1t would be to make some guest share
my forlorn state by getting him out of
his warm bed all sleepy eyed. / could
not any more have overlooked one of
those early calls than could have
overlooked my breakfast when the
time came."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
