Then They Talked In EnaIish.

A couple of Cleveland business men
visited Mexico. In Mexico City their
train was switched from one station
to another. One of the Clevelanders
went to the first station to make in
quiries. Approaching pair Of dark
visaged employees he cudgeled his
memory for the proper words from the
phrase book.
"Donde esta?" he hesitatingly asked
and paused.
The two dark visaged persons listen
ed attentively.
"Gracias." stammered the Cleveland
man. ''Donde estan?'
Then one of he men looked at the
other.
"Say. Bill" he growled. what in
merry blue blazes is this fellow talkin'
about?"
And after that 1t was easy.-Cleve-

WHIPPED THE LEOPARD.
But Il Took a Troop of 6aboons to Kin
the Big Cat.

the Big Cat.
A vivid pen picture of a fight be-
tween leopard and troop of balloons
is given in n German paper by r. Rit-
ter. sportsman and explorer In Ger
man West Africa. Ievpards have
particular liking for baboon flesh
which is often used as bait to trap
them.
"One afternoons" the hunter relates.
81 was resting on the shady side of a
big rock which formed the bank of
small stream. On the opposite side n
troop of baboonS came down chatter
ing toward the water. II large male go
ing cautiously in front. glancing and
scentng around for danger remaio-
ed immobile.
"A deep grunt assured the herd that
they came. last Of all female with
two young. which the mother tenderly
helped over the rough places. Sudden
ly big leopard shot out from behind
bowlder and with one blow of his
paw grabbed one of the young.
"The mother with roar of fury.
threw herself upon the big cat. The
Others halted and with one accord
clambered back TO her assistance. The
leopard had just settled the female and
was about to make off with his prey
when he found himself surrounded by
the whole horde. which closed in upon
him.
He gave as good as he got. and
two big balloons rolled down the slope
apparently done for. but numbers told.
and he was literally torn to pieces. 1t
was horribly fascinating sight and I
never regretted more having no camera
with me than | did then"

OF Interest to Perrysburg Readers.
For months Perrysburg citizens
have seen in these columns enthusi-
astic praise Of Doan's Kidney Pills
by Perrysburg residents. Would
these prominent people recommend a
remedy that had not proven reliable
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed il personal
experience had not shown the rem
edy to be worthy of endorsement?
No stronger proof of merit can be
had than cures that have stood the
test OF time. The following state
ment should carry conviction to the
mind of every Perrysburg reader.

endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. used

BURLINGTON, Aug. ia number
Of the members of the Burlington Au-
tomobile club met yesterday after
noon at the Commercial Exchange
rooms for run west to meet the Off
cial party which is opening the Blue
Grass road from Council Bluffs to
Burlington. Mayor Cross and the Off
GERS of the club left in the morning
for Mt. Pleasant and there joined the
procession of autos.
The official car arrived in the city
shortly after four o'clock and the par
ty will remain In the city but a short
time, then continuing on to Keokuk.
Although this opening of the road
is being done quietly, it is really an
affair of great Importance, for it is
the celebration of successful under
taking in the interest of good roads.
It not only served to improve this one
highway, but 1t aroused interest in all
pdblic roads, SO that the residents of
side roads have undertaken the drag
ring Of the highways without signing
agreements. This is in their own In
terest.
