BY \ LION.

The lion stopped and lay down be-
hind a bush; jumping off took a
shot at him at two hundred yards,
but only wounded him slightly in one
paw; and after a moments sullen
hesitation off he went, lashing his
tail. We mounted our horses and
went after him; Tarlton lost sight of
him, but | marked him lying down
behind a low grassy ant hill. Again
we dismounted at a distance of two
hundred yards; Tarlton telling me
that now he was sure to charge. In
all East Africa there is no man. not
even Cunningham himself, whom l
would rather nave by me than Tarl-
ton, if in difficulties with a charg,
ing lion; on this occasion, however,
| am glad to say that his rifle was
badly sighted. and shot altogether too
low.
Again I knelt and fired: but the
mass of hair on the lion made me
think he was nearer than he was. and
I undershot. inflicting a flesh wound
that was neither Gripping nor fatal.

for though he galloped at a great

eXpectedness by which the most ex-
acting, artistic fancy can be amused!
1t is adroit, it always knows where it
is. Prudent unto caution. it goes
everywhere, it examines without soil
ing, breaking nothing; it Is in itself
a warmth and a caress
1t is discreet and of fastidious
cleanliness, which might be well I'M
itated by a number of its detractors.
1t washes its face, and in so doing
fortells the weather into the bargain.
one can entertain the idea of putting
a ribbon around its neck, never a col
lar; it cannot be enslaved. 1t permits
no notifications in its race; it lends
itself to no combinations that indus
tries could attempt.
In short the cat is a dignified. proud
disdainful animal that hides its love
affairs in the shadows, almost with
in the clouds, upon the roofs in the
vicinity of the Woodworking stu
dents. 1t defies advances, and toll
crates no insults. it abandons the
house in which it is not treated ac-
cording to its merits; in short. the
cat is truly an aristocrat in type and
origin. Alexander Dumas.

MY QUEEN.


He loves not we'll whose owe is bold.
l would not have thee come too
nigh.
The suns gold would not seem pure
gold
Unless the sun We're in the sky.
To take him thence and chain him
near
Would make his beauty disappear,
He keeps his state. Keep thou thine
And shine upon me from afar.
So shall I bask in light divine
That falls from loves own guiding
star.
SO shall thy eminence be high,
And SO my passion shall not die.
But all my life shall reach its hands
OF lofty longing toward thy face
And be as n who speeches. stands
In rapture at some perfect grace.
My love, my hope, my all shall be
To look to heaven and look to thee.
Thy eyes shall be the heavenly lights,
Thy voice the gentle summer breeze,
What time it SWAPS, on moonlit nights,
The murmuring tops of leafy trees,
And l shall touch thy beauteous form
In June's red roses. rich and warm.
But thou myself shalt come not down
From that pure region far above,
But keep thy throne M wear thy
crown,
Queen of my heart and queen OF
love,
a monarch in thy realm complete.
And l a monarch at thy feet,

The budget has given rise to a num-
Der of good stories about Mr.. Lloyd
George, a particularly good one con-
corning a recent banquet at which the
chancellor of the exchequer was a
guest. z
Sitting next to him was a young
lady, who listened reverently to every
word that fell from her hero's lips.
"Ah," she ventured At last, you
have suffered a great deal in your
life from being misunderstood, have
you not?"
Yes" Mr.. Lloyd-George is report

would have if I had been understood"

WHY NOT IMPROVE 1T?

1t so happens that Jackson street
is one Of the most frequently used
thoroughfares of the city. Scarcely
anyone goes driving or autoing in
Pendleton without passing along
Jackson street. 1t is one of the good
residence streets of the town. Yet
there is hardly another street in Pen
dleton in such poor shape for travel.
The street is sadly in need of improv-
ing and if they care to do so the prop
erty owners over there may work
wonders in that thoroughfare. They
can have the street macadamized and
provided with concrete curbs and the
old wooden walks replaced with con-
crete walks. It would cost some
money to do hat work it is true. But
property values would be enhanced to
the extent of the cost if not more. So
no n would lose. Why cannot
Jackson street be improved during the
coming summer?

GETTING ON IN YEARS.

During a Friday afternoon lecture
on history in a Baltimore educational
institute the instructor had given a
lengthy disquisition on the character
Of George Washington, incidentally
touching upon his work as. the organ
izer Of the revolution. "Now," asked
the instructor. "if George Washing
ton were alive today, what practical
part do you think he would play in
president-day politics, judging from
the past?" A prolonged silence on
the part Of the pupils followed this.
Finally, however, one lad saw a way
out. Sir" he queried, wouldn't he
be too old ?"-Lippencott's.

\ WHITE SLAYER" CAUGHT.

The death Of little Ruth Wheeler,
q New York stenographer, at the
hands of Albert Wolter, should aid
powerfully in the move to wipe out
the curse of white slavery" The
murder of this girl was a horrible
crime and if reports are true it was
committed by a typical white slave"
trader. Wolter it is said lured the
SRI to his apartments through an ad-
vertisement offering employment. He
no employment to offer her but
instead wanted her to take up a life
of prostitution. He probably killed
her because she refused and threat
ened to expose him and his nefarious
business. 1t is too bad that Wolter
and all of his ilk who are caught can
not be burned at the stake. 1t would
be fitting punishment and at the
same time would break up a fiendish
practice that is becoming more and
more a disgrace to civilization.

here, saving the lady's presence, that
you are behaving like damned fool"
The man looked at him dumbly, I'M

1t was the woman who spoke, coldly,
impartially. She had seemingly dis
missed the whole affair, though at
what cost to herself no one could
know.
