A FIGHT WITH A LION.

Text. my soul is among ns."-PsaIm
lvii, L
Roosevelt says there's nothing so
thrilling as lion hunting. Daniel in
the pit slept among the monarchs of
the forest. David slew one on the
hills of Bethlehem, Samson in the
vineyard at Timnah, Beniah In pit.
It's thrilling, but mighty dangerous.
Bostock and Hagenbeck bear their
scars. In the jungles of Africa lion
sprang upon Livingstone, sinking Its
teeth in his arm, crunching the bone
to splinters. Stanley says you never
have seen a real lion unless In India
or Africa just after capture. Long
caging at the zoo breaks his spirit; the
constant circus crowd tames him. You
want to see him fling himself against
the bars and roar in the geological
gardens at Calcutta. Ever see the

THE CHANCE.

Whole volumes of good resolutions
are rustling their leaves today;
Iheye stirred by the breeze of re-
gret from the year that is pass
ing away.
Some pages are brightly illuminated
with hopes of fulfillment ahead.
And many nave marginal traces 10
prove their intentions are dead.
Each season some items are traced
on mellow memory's list,
And others so lightly erased their
presence will scarcely be missed.
But every Book of Resolves is a
wonderful help in way,
'Tis a moral tonic to know we aimed
at the best on a day.
Although our sins of omission may
bring us q Jingle of pain,
'Tis soothing to know that each year
we've a chance to start over again.
