CARRIED OFF BY A LION.
Thrilling Experience of Ranger In
the Transvaal.

Two men at least have given ac-
counts of their sensations when they
were carried off by lions-the great
explorer Livingstone and a man nam
ed Wolhuter, ranger of game pre-
serves in the Transvaal. VOLUNTEERS
adventure is not secondary in interest
to Livingstone's experience. His story,
which was attested by the certificate
of the magistrate Of the district, was
substantially as follows:
He was riding along a Kafir path
about an hour after sunset. 1t had
been a long march, and he had pushed
on ahead of his companions. His dog
barked at something, and moment
later Wolhuter saw a lion crouching
close to him on the right hand side
The ranger turned his horse sharply.
a circumstance that no doubt caused
the lion to miss the spring
| Wolhuter was unseated. AT the
same moment he saw another hon
coming from the opposite direction.
The horse rushed off, with the first
! lion in pursuit, and the second lion
picked WOlhuter up almost before he
touched the ground and gripped him
by the right shoulder in such posi-
ton that he was face up, with his legs
and body dragging underneath the
beast The lion trotted down the path
uttering loud, growing, purring
noise.
VOLUNTEERS sensations were not those
of Livingstone, who said he was in a
state of apathy, with entire absence
Of pain during the time the lion had
him. The game ranger suffered terri
bly,. both mentally and physically, and
saw no possible way of escape. The
lion took him nearly 200 yards.
Suddenly Wolhuter bethought him
of his sheath knife, which he carried
in his belt behind his right hip. On
reaching a large tree with overhang-
ing roots the lion stopped, whereupon
Wolhuter stabbed him twice in the
side with his left hand. 1t was ascer-
tained afterward that the first stab
touched the bottom of the heart and
that the second one slit 1t down for
some distance.
The lion Immediately dropped VOL
huter. and again the game ranger
struck him, this time In the throat.
severing an artery.
The lion jumped back and stood fac
ing him, growing. Wolnuter scram-
bled to his feet. shouting at the top or
his lungs He expected the beast 10
come at him again, but it did not. In
stead. it turned slowly and, still growl-
ing went n few PAGES. Soon its growls
turned to means. These. in turn.
ceased. and the ranger knew that the
beast was then dead.
WOlhuter got up the tree as fast as
his injured arm would permit and
hardly was he seated when the first
lion, which had been after the horse.
came back on the trail Of blood. BY
this time the plucky ranger was so
faint that he tied himself to the tree
to prevent himself from falling out.
He was found by his companions.
who took him to a place Of safety.
The lion he killed was an old male, and
the weapon used was an ordinary
sheath knife.-New York Tribune.

A member of the Canadian mount
ed police tells a good story of the
cleverness of an Indian. One snowy
morning a band Of Crees awoke to
find that about a dozen of their ponies
had been stolen during the night.
Pursuit was Immediately organized,
and in the course Of an hour the trail
was struck The band followed it for
thirty miles or more, till 1t entered
a river, and headed for little wood
ed island.
Smoke was rising from the trees.
and an opening. apparently the mouth
of a cave. was in plain view. Pres
emily a Piegan Indian showed him.
self in front Of the opening. He was
in war-paint, and at his heels was a
dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees, who were lying low, and began
growing and barking. The Piegan
looked up, glanced about him mo-
ment, and then instantly entered the
cave. In about ten seconds another
Piegan came round the rocks and also
went in; then another, and another,
and another. The Crees lay silently
in the bushes. counting. till upward
Of fifty Piegans had come round the
rocks and gone into the cave, and
still they kept coming. Each car
ried rifle.
When at last seventy men had dis
appeared i'm the cave. the supersti-
tious and cautious Crees concluded
that the evil spirit had something to
do with it. So thoroughly were they
filed with this idea that even when
reenforcements arrived. which was in
Il few hours, they were reluctant TO
attack the island.
That night. however. one Cree. less
credulous than the others, crossed
over the ice to investigate. On APP
preaching the supposed cave, he
found that ii was no cave at all, but
simply an opening leading some ten
feet into the rock. where it made a
turn and came out on the other side.
There was the remnant of a single
campfire. the ponies were gone, and
not an Indian was in sight. The
clever Piegan thief by making the
circuit of the passage and the end of
the island seventy times had so de-
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape

LAWFUL AND UNLAWFUL CLUBS
Judge Prince Construes the Law In
Respect to Clubs and Liquor.

| Respect to Clubs and Liquor.
The following extract from Judge
Princes charge to the jury in the case
! Of the State VS.. James Calk (the tes
case against the Elks club) will bt
found interesting by all who have giver
| thought to the question of the rela-
tion of social clubs to the liquor law.
| In his charge Judge Prince covered
| the whole question of the liquor law
and the right of an individual to have
| liquor for personal use, rather fully
but only that part of the charge which
relates directly to clubs is of interest
in this connection.
Judge Prince construed the law as
follows:
Now, charge you as to the clubs
and I am glad of the opportunity to SC
charge you. 1t is perfectly competent
to run a club according to law, and
to have whisky there, whatever you
and | may think of the immortality OF
the act; whether you and 1 may ap-
prove from a moral standpoint Of the
act. But how is it possible? 1t is pos
sible when every man orders his own
liquors, gets 1t and keeps 1t in his own
locker: where he orders his own beer
if there is beer there-and keeps 1t
himself under his own control. 1t is
unlawful for a club to order liquor and
to sell it out to it's members, even
thought it should sell it without profit.
1t is unlawful for it to sell beer there
or to sell the members tickets and al
law them to cash them on beer or IL
quor That is unlawful. The question
of whether or not profit is made out
of it does not enter into the transac-
ton. The question is whether 1t Is
sold, whether sold by the entity or cor
poration through it's individual men,
bers. If corporation has got it and
sells it to its members, it Is violation
Of law. and that Is all there Is about 1t.
and the manager and every man who
is a member of the club, If 1t is sold
according to the rules of the club
every man who Is a member Of 1t Is
guilty of a violation Of law, and 1t
doesn't make any difference whether
high or low, rich or poor, every man
that is connected with dealing with
liquor or beer there is guilty. Now, it
is perfectly competent for you to be
member of any club-social club, buy
your own liquor, put it in your own
locker and drink it there when you
please. l do not consider that viola
tion of law, because, as argued by
counsel, that Is the same as having It
in your home and drinking 1t there;
that is your place, but you can't buy
by the club and distribute it to the
members who call for it. That is a
sale, even though you don't make any
profit. That is a sale. 1 charge you
thai no club has any more right to sell
liquor than an individual hast has
no right to buy 1t and distribute 1t
amongst it's members, and If that is
What these clubs do. however noble
their members may be, they are violat-
ing the law-everybody connected with
it. If the club Is doing it according
to its rules and bylaws. every man
that is a member Of the club is guilty,
and the manager or agents having the
active management Of the matter are
guilty"-Sumter Item.

And he took from his pocket a long

heart! Why, your coat is scorched;

rected Cronkite lightly. I'm sorry e
have caused such sacrilege. Yes, you
are right; it is a French duelling pis-
tol and undoubtedly the mate of the
one you saw at headquarters. Blu;
there was no more killing in that one
than in this one. See"
The judge wonderingly gazed as
Cronkite with one or more of the min
iature but handy tools he always had
about him took the pistol to pieces.
See" he continued, this is a French
dueling pistol, as you say; that is, a
pistol for a French duel, spectacular
but harmless. 1t has a sort of a safety
valve of a pocket into which the bull
lets drop, while the powder remains.
Isn't that ingenious? No possible
harm could come from either one or
the other of them beyond the scorching
of coat. l beg your pardon again for
that, judge"
IF all this is so," exclaimed the as
tonished judge, why, if all this is so,
then the bottom also drops out of the
case against young Vance. He not
only couldn't have killed Mr. Nagle
with the incriminatory weapon but"
IF he had plotted to kill him he new
er would have selected such a weapon,
rejoined Cronkite.
Therefore it is obvious that the real
assassin must have stolen these duel
inging pistols from poor Vance in or
der to throw suspicious upon him and
then have used
stop a moment right there, please,
sir" objected Cronkite. He could't
have killed Mr.. Nagle with the duelling
pistol left beside him, as you rightly
think. for the purpose of duplicating
Vance. and the fact that he did kill him
shows that he must have known it was
but a dummy and have used a real one
in consequence. Similarly, knowing it
to be a dummy he wouldn't have used
it's mate in his assault on you"
But he did use it,, cried the bewil-
dered judge.
Il think she used it, sir. l think d
man and a woman have been acting
together, the one the murderer, the
other the wouldbe murderer. / think
the man discovered the duelling pistols
were dummies too late to warn the
woman. Hence she failed in the mur-
der of you, which was to be the COM
plement of the murder of Mr.. Nagle."
But who"
But who would benefit by Mr.. Ma
gle's death? But who would be pro-
tected by your death from the conse-
quences of Mr.. Nagles murder? But
who has known all along that am not
the real Cousin Philip Goodhue? But
who turned pale with fear when ] as
Philip Goodhue called her by an en-
dearing name. But who may have lis
tened to old Amos Nagle's deathbed

You mean," whispered the judge,
that Cousin Philip Nagle is still alive
and that Mrs. Dayne is his accom-
plice?"
