BATTLED WITH LION
HOW FOX TERRIER WON ANN
MAILS SKIN.
Dog Follows "kIng Of the JungIesS
Into Forest, Emerges Hanging
on to It's TaII-Natlves Award
Canine Hide.

Simba, the pluckiest fox terrier In
the world and the only dog of its
breed which has ever tackled full
grown lion "single-handed," will be
returning to London, her birthplace,
during the next few days from British
East Africa.
The story of how Simba fought the
lion was told by Cherry Kearton, the
dogs master. who has Just returned
from the Kenia district of British East
Africa with a number of cinematot
graph pictures of wild animals.
Simba is an ordinary fox terrier, o6
no special value from breeders
point of view. Simbas fight with the
lion took place when Mr.. Kearton was
trying to obtain pictures of the killing
of lion by native spearmen. Two
lions had been located in some scrubs,
and 20 Nasal warriors, with spears,
were ready to attack. The lioness1
however, escaped, and the male lion.
after appearing for a moment, bolted
into a dried river bed and refused to
bulge.
"Simba," said Mr.. Kearton, "darted
into the donga, and within few SEQ
onds we heard tremendous roar
which seemed to shake the groundy
and the bushes within 12 yards Of us
were violently agitatetd. The lion
roared again and again, and in the
brief intervals we heard the weak but
very furious yapping of the dog. The
Nasal stood, every nerve tingling.
with spears poised.
Suddenly the lion dashed through
little clearing, and we were amazed
to see Simba hanging on with her
teeth embedded in its tail Three
spears were hurled at the escaping
beast with such accuracy that they all
transflxed the heart and the lion fell
dead. You must know that the skin
of the lion belongs, according to local
custom. not to the warrior whose
spear inflicts a fatal wound, but to
the man who first rushes In and cuts
off the black tip from the tail
1.-TWO Of the three spearmen dashed
into the donga, but they found Simbs
with the black tip still between her
teeth, resolutely determined to oppose
any hostile claim. The spearmen, who
were lost In admiration, agreed that
the skin belonged by right Of seizure
to Simba, and they handed 1t over
later to my wife as trustee for the
dog"

That in Boarding Institution Not
Natural, Says Bishop.
Not Only Do Children Suffer, but Par
ents Also, Who Lose Most Sacred
Of Parental Duties-One
Who Disaerees.

London.-A striking appeal to the
upper and middle classes not to send
their boys to the "barrack life" Of the
boarding school, and so remove them
from the home influence. is made by
the bishop of Hereford.
The bishop was a speaker at the
public morals conference, which was
held at the Caxton hall, Westminster
The object of the conference has
been described as "a very earnest at
tempt to convert Mrs. Grundy"-to ef-
feet reforms in the moral education of
boys and girls.
Speaking on Education for Parent
hood" the bishop said the English
people of the upper and middle classes
had drifted far too much into an al
most exclusive preference for board
ing school education.
"Boarding-school life is not a natu-
raj life for the young" he declared.
ut is not only the children who suf-
fer from being sent into barrack life,
but the parents also suffer because
they lose the most sacred responsible
ties Of parental duties.
"My experience as head master of
Clifton college-which is both a day
school and a boarding school-leads
me to the conclusion that the best
form of school education for boys Of
the upper and middle classes is that
in which the boy is able to live under
the influence of good home life.
''At the same time boy can enjoy
all that is best in a well organized
boarding school"
A schoolmaster Of several years ex-
perience gave several reasons why he
did not agree with the bishop of Here
ford's opinion.
Take the case of, say, little Tom
my Jones, who is day boy at sec
ondary SCHOOL, he said. He is hit
by another boy and goes home o'ying
to his mother. who consoles HIN and
dries his tears.
Tommy is comforted and weakened

TRIES HARD TO JOIN LOVER
Grand Rapids Girl Attempts to Enlist

Grand Rapids, Mich.-Held back for
day, story of young girl in male
attire and evidently wishing to join
her sweetheart in the east has just
come out of the local United States
marine corps recruiting station.
The young man" in question en-
tered the station stating "he" wished
to enlist In the service to be sent to
New York as soon as possible. Not
understanding why the applicant
should be sent so hurriedly to the
training station, the officer asked the
applicant to explain. Faint, but very
determined, the answer was given
that a close friend by the name OF
Brown was sent by the local recruit
ing officer and Is now in New York
very Ill, and 1t was "his" wish to be

The preliminary examination was
hurried through and the prospective
recruit shown to the next room where
''he" was asked to remove "his" cloth
ing that the remainder of the exam
ination might be finished. After wait
ing for an usual length Of time for
the lad" to appear, the officer called
him" No reply being received the
door was opened. The room was not
occupied The window leading to the
hall was open and on the floor near
by was found lady's handkerchief,
wet with tears. which had an initial

A CHRISTOPHER vANE.
Made by One of Americas Earliest
Woodcarvers.

From the Boston G.obe.
Perched on the cupola Of Faneuil Hall
is a grasshopper weather vane which is
not only one of the oldest vanes In the
country, but Is famous as the product of
one Of Americas earliest wood carvers
and artisans. Shem browne Of Boston.
Brownies shop was on Ann street In the
north end.
OF the many vanes he made only three
are now known to be I'm existence-the
one on the Shepard Memorial Church in
Cambridge, which formerly was on the
steeple OF the New Brick Church on Han
ove- street in this city. and known as the
revenge vane: the one in the collection of
the Massachusetts, Historical Society. a
relic Of the old Boston Province House.
AMI the one on Faneuil Hall.
This gresshopper Of copper, hammered
out by hand, has large CLASSY eyes, which
in the sunlight shine like fire. 1t was
made In 1142 at the order OF Peter Fan
euil when the hall, his gift to the town.
was nearing completion, and for the last
l67 years 1t has been a landmark.
1t has not. however. lived life Of un-
broken peace. for severa! times 1t has
been near destruction. In 1855. when
Boston was shaken by an earthquake.
Ing supplied with a new leg by the son
Of the man who made it was replaced.
Five years later Faneuil Hall was seri-
ously damaged by fire. but the vane re-
manned intact and when the hall was
rebuilt the grasshopper was once more
given the place Of honor.
Another disaster befell 1t when, in 1850,
q nag was being raised to celebrate the
anniversary OF the evacuation of the city
by the British, the hopper hoped to the
street below. But in few days he hop
ped right back again and there 1t has re-
mained ever since. with the exception OF

THE ST0RK IN EUROPE.
Prosecuted in Some Parts, Protected
as q Good Bird in Others.
From the Westminster Gazette

From the WeBtm1nStef GeEette.
In the Baltic provinces and throughout
northern Germany and In Denmark the
stork is met with everywhere during the
summer months. While travelling the
other day from Danzig to Marienberg l
saw several in the fields and on nests
upon buildings quite close to the railway.
In Denmark, however. 1T is less numerous
since the draining OF the morasses was
begun. 1t IL still fairly common In Hol-
land and Belgium, but in France, owing
to its being prosecuted and the fact Of
none OF the original race surviving. 1t is
seen only as a bird OF passage. In Al
SAGE and Lorraine its better treatment IL
rewarded by a certain number remaining
during the summer to breed.
In passing through Savoy in April ana
in the early autumn it meets with heart
less persecution, especially on its return
toward the south, when the young birds
are often much fatigued. It occurs gen.
orally throughout Turkey and 10 fairly
common in Greece. II IL met with occa-
