Praise of the Country Town.


He who has never called a country
town his home has missed much. He
who had his first look upon the world
from some little village which at the
dawn OF consciousness spelled all the
world to him and held in its bounds
all the people, win always lack some
thing in his sense OF his proper ad-
1ustment to creation It Is in them
that the truest friendships are formed,
the closest studies of human nature
provided, the most lasting hold given
on the eternal truths Only as little
child can the kingdom be entered, and
that is as true of the kingdom of earth
as Of that one of which 1t was first
said. Go closer into the records of
these boys off the farms and you will
find that it was from the country
towns, rather than from the farms,
they came; that it was some country
village that inspired the dreams, fired
the hopes and prepared for that flight
to broader fields. And they go back
laden with gifts, not to the farms, but
to the country towns to which they
feel they owe so much-DenVer Re.

London.-St. Michael Podmore, F. z.

in the Loungers club, recently related
some of his experiences in the wild
places of the earth, most realistic of
which was an attack by lion in

"One dark night was aroused from
sleep by hearing something moving
backward and forward beneath my
bed. Becoming alarmed, listened
breathlessly to bud, long, indescriba-

placed one massive paw on my chest,
and then. throwing back his noble
head, he gave four terrible roars of
triumph and defiance.

DOG AND A HUGE EAGLE
IN A BATTLE TO DEATH
CANINE KILLED BY GREAT BIRD
WHICH Is BADLY WOUNDED
IN THE FIGHT.

Furstenwald, Prussia.-One after,
noon some time ago the following cpl,
sode, in which a great eagle figured,
occurred in Brandenburg, Prussia: A
field laborer heard a dog bowling In
most dismal manner at no great dis
lance from the spot at which he was
working. Running in the direction
from which the sounds came, he saw
large bird and the watchdog of a
neighboring farm struggling and
fighting, partly in the air and partly
on the ground
At last they passed into an adjoin-
ing copse, when the laborer ran and
called the bailiff of the place where
he was employed. Both proceeded to
the copse, to find the bird moving
with the greatest difficulty and
scarcely able to hop few PAGES; 1t

they, yet so diabolical in their ruthless
cruelty.
AT last two niggers were induced to
make couple Of torches of dry grass
and by the lurtd and uncertain light of
these the lion was seen standing over
my PROSTATE body. He was an ener-
nous brute, over ten feet in length,
and with luxuriant, tawny name that
impaired to him a most majestic an
pearance. My friend told me afterward
that as he approached with his gun
was moaning and grooming softly to
myself. For some time he was afraid
to shoot, lest he should kill me instead
of the lion.
AS he crept nearer the lion took his
fangs out Of my groin and faced about
growing and snarling horribly. The
rife was leyeled, there was a sharp re-
port and the first shot hit the lion In
the eye. The ball, as it came out,
shattered his lower jaw. Two more
shots were fired, and the fierce mon

Paris. = Three German students
have met with a terrible adventure
in the mountains near the Grande
Chartreuse They left Grenoble to
ascend the highest peak in the French
Alps, called the Grande Som, which
rises to height of over six thousand
feet.
The students, whose names were
Stempel, Fischer and Wethel, were
warned that they had better take a
guide But, having a map of the
mountain roads, they preferred to find
their own way.
After long and fatiguing climb,
they reached the top of the Grande
Som at six o'clock in the evening.
