FIGHT WITH A LEOPARD.
Finally Dispatched the Brute with q
Hatchet.

The Rev. DR.. G. A. Wilder, a mis-
sionary OF the America board in
Rhodesia sent by the Asylum Hill
Congressional church, of Hartford,
Conn.,, in a Letter from Silinda, tells
how he and two natives and dogs
hunted a leopard after the animal
had felled him and inflicted four
poisonous wounds on the right side
Of his head.
The native escorts sucked and
dressed each of his wounds, and the
hunt for the beast was resumed: Dr..
Wilder said: ''The leopard could not
be seen, but soon he came rushing
toward Us, and stood at 20 PAGES. l
fired and got no response. Kaziboni
climbed a tree, and the dogs took a
fresh start. Nyuswa fired, and all
this got on the nerves of the leopard
which still kept hidden close to the
ground.
'The dog squealed, but got away
with her ear ripped open We form
ed a close line and marched with ri
fles ready. In five seconds the dog
uttered a low growl, and quick as a
flash I had bullet in him, which
was followed by terrific roar. The
men followed the charge, and I got
another cartridge into the barrel,
and he did not come on, but began
making away down the hill.
1--WE had taken it out of him this
time, but he stood again few yards
off below the second anthill, to
which we went as quickly as posi-
BILE. Kaziboni climbed small tree,
and, seeing the leopard, fired.
tx. fired again, the dogs attack
ed, and the men rushed with spears,
and the game fought desperately for
few minutes before he died. With
broken legs, dum-dum bullets smash
ing up his chest, he fought with one
paw and his mouth like a demon.
There were seven spear wounds, and
I finally smashed his skull with a
hatchet."

far as I know my own heart, l am
not bitter. But through all these
years a conviction has been growing
within me that the average church
member cares precious little about
the kingdom of God and it advance
ment or the welfare of his fellow
men. He is a Christian in order that
he may save his soul from ,heh, and
for no other reason. He does as
little as he can, lives as Indifferent
" as he dares If he thought ne
could gain heaven without even lift
ing his little finger for others, he
would jump at the chance. Never
have I known more than small MI
nority of any church which l have
served to be really interested in and
unselishly devoted to Gods work.
It took my whole time to pull and
push and urge and persuade the re-
luctant members of my church to un-
dertake little something for their
feHowmen. They took covenant to
be faithful in attendance upon the
services of the church, and not one
out of ten ever thought of attending
prayer meeting. A large per centage
seldom attended church in the morn
ing, and a pitifully small number in
the evening. It did not seem to
mean anything to them that they
had dedicated themselves to the ser
vice of Christ.
"I am tired; tired of being the
only one in the church from whom
real sacrifice is expected; tired of
straining and tugging to get Chris
tian people to live like Christians;
tired of planning work for my peo-
pie, and then being compelled to do
it myself or see it left undone; tired
of lodging my creditors when l
would not need to if I had what is
due me; tired Of the affrighting
vision of a penniless old age. l am
not eaving Christ. I love Him.
shall still try to serve Him.
Judge me leniently, old man, for
I cannot bear to lose your friendship.
Yours as of old,
"WILLIAM.

Spectators Hold Timber Lands.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Taft to-day transmitted to both the
house and senate the first part of
the long awaited report of Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner of cor
porations, on the lumber industry of
the United States. The report is
in response to resolution of the
house passed in December, 1906,
and one of the senate dated January
10, 1907. 1t represents the first COM
prehensive investigation of the
amount and ownership of the stand
ing timber of the country.
Deploring the concentration Of the
control of the standing timber among
a few private interests, Commissioner
Smith declares that the bulk Of the
timber is being held speculatively
and is closely connected with rail-
road domination.''

Pension Money Greater.

Washington, Feb. 13.-By a vote
of eight to three, the senate COM
mittee on pensions to-day agreed to
report to the senate the Sulloway
general pension bill, which already
passed the house.. 1t was amended
so that the annual cost, in addition
to the $153,O0O,0O0 estimated for the
ensuing year will be about s45, 5,OOO,-
900.
Senator McCumber, chairman OF
the committee, opposed the Sullo'
way bill and endeavored to have the
committee report measure which
would cost for the first year about
ss,3OO,O0O. He was Joined by Sen
ators Gore and Taliaferro in making
up the minority on the final vote.
AS passed by the house, the Sui
loway bill would increase the month
" pension of veterans of 62 years
from s12 to SIS; of 65 years from
s12 to $40; of 70 years from SIS to
$40. and from 70 or more from $40
to s26. The senate committee, by
a vote of six to five, reduced the. pro-
posed maximum allowance from S36
to $50.
AS there are estimated to be 63,-
461 veterans who would be affected
by this amendment at the present
time, the change would decrease the
annual cost a little more than $4,-
100000.
In the statement made by the Sec
retary of the Interior Ballinger, the
cost of the Sulloway bill as passed
by the house would be s45,4S9,46S,
but the committee found there would
have to be added to this about s4,-
100000 to which limited number
of veterans would be entitled under
general laws.
It's friends do not anticipate an
easy time passing the measure
through the senate, especially as il
has been intimated President Taft
would veto it if it were presented to
him for his signature. The very
fact that some senators are conf
dent that the president would veto
the measure is said to have induced
q withdrawal of considerable opposi-
ton. but on the other hand there
are senators who feel that the re
sponsibility of such action should not
be placed upon tlR executive.
