this occasion, however, am glad to say that
his rifle was badly sighted, and shot alto

hair on the lion made me think he was near

flesh wound that was neither Gripping nor

and tossing his tail erect, with his head held
low; and at the shot the great sinewy beast
came toward us with the speed of grey

Tarlton then, very properly, fired, for lion
hunting is, no child's play and it is not good
to run risks. Ordinarily it is very mean

though he galloped at great pace he came
on steadily-ears laid back, and uttering ter
rifle coughing grunts-and there was now
no question of making allowance for dis
lance, nor, as he was out in the open, for the
fact that he had not before been distinctly
visible. The bead OF my foresight was ex
actly on the center of his chest as pressed
the trigger, and the bullet went as true as if
the place had been plotted with dividers.
The blow brought him up all standing,
and he fell forward on his head. The soft
nosed Winchester bullet had gone straight
through the chest cavity, smashing the lungs
and the big blood vessels of the heart Pain
fully he recovered his feet and tried to come
on, his ferocious courage holding out to the
last but he staggered. and turned from side
to side, unable to stand firmly, still less to

Kermit gleefully joined us as we walked
up to the body; only one of our followers
had been able to keep up with him on his
two-mile run. He had had fine view of the
charge, from one side, as he ran up, still 800
yards distant; he could see all the muscles
play as the lion galloped in, and then every
thing relax as he fell to the shock of my bull
let.
The lion was big old male, still in his
prime. Between uprghts his length was

around this camp We killed what we need
ed of the common kinds and in addition each
OF us killed big rhino.
In nid-afternoon we spied Our rhino and
getting near saw that it had good horns. II
was in the middle of the absolutely bare
plain, and we walked straight up to the dull
sighted, dull-witted beast; Kermit with his
camera, / with the Holland double-barrel.
The tick-brds warned it, but it did not make
us out until we were we'll within hundred
yards, when it trotted toward us, head and
tail up. AT 90 yards put the heavy bullet
straight into its chest, and knocked it flat
with the blow; as it tried to struggle to its
feet again knocked it flat. with the leftl,and
barrel /: but it needed two more bullets before
it died. screaming like an engine whistle.
Before fired my last shot had walked
up directly beside the rhino and just then
Talton pointed me out greater bustard,
stalking along with unmoved composure at
distance of l so yards; I took the Spring
field, and kneeling down beside the rhinos

and then killed the rhino.
A Snakes Singular Power.
At this camp we killed five poisonous
snakes lght-colored tree snake, two puff
adders, and two seven-foot cobras. One of
the latter three times "spat" or elected its
poison at It's. the poison coming out from the
fangs like white films OF threads, to dis
lance Of several feet.
A few years ago the singular power Of this
snake, and perhaps of certain other African
species, thus to eject the poison at the face OF
an assailant was denied by scientists; but it
is now well known. Selous had already told
me of an instance which came under his own
observation; and Tarlton had once been
struck in the eyes and for the moment nearly
blinded by the poison. He found that to
wash the eyes with milk was of much relief
On the bigger puff adder, some four feet
long, were a dozen ticks, some swollen to the
size of cherries; apparently they were dis
regarded by their sluggish and deadly host
An Adventure With the Honey Bird.
One day Kermit had our first characters
tic experience with honey bird; smallish
toes like woodpeckers, whose extraordi-
nary habits as honey guide are known to
all the natives of Africa throughout its
range.
Kermit had killed an Gland bull, and while
he was resting, his gun-bearers drew his al
tention to the calling of the honey bird in a
tree near by He got up, and as he APP
preached the bird, it flew to another tree in
front and again began its twtter. This was
repeated again and again as Kermit walked
after it,
Finally the bird darted round behind his
followers, in the direction from which they
had come and for moment they thought it
had played them false. But Immediately
afterward they saw that it had merely over
shot its mark. and had now flown back a few
rods to the honey tree. round which it was

ED A MINUTE OR TWO AT THE

TRAIN STOPPED AT LOCAL
STATION.

Col. Ben. G. Whitehead of Bismarck
passed through the city yesterday aft
ernoon IN his way home from the east
where he had been attending the
funeral of his brother. He stopped on
his way home at Chicago and took in
the big convention.
"It vas the most exciting thing /
ever saw" said he to The Forum man
in the few minutes that the train was
at the N. p. station. Senator Ken
nedy certainly did call that man
Heney for fair, and there was no
mincing of words with the Fargo man
either. MI. Kennedy made a hit with
everybody in this incident.
TT vas my intention to have at.

ting ready to start for Fargo to
attend the big gathering 1 received the
telegram that informed me of my
brothers death and I fastened on

BISHOP O'REILLY
FOR INVOCATION
COMMITTEE INVITE HEAD OF
CATHOLIC CHURCH TO OPEN
PROCEEDINGS July 4-oTHER
ARRANGEMENTS FOR SAFE
AND SANE CELEBRATION.

The safe and sane Fourth Of July
committee held a meeting at 0 o to-
day to further the big celebration OF
the glorious In Fargo. The meet
ing was presided over by Secretary
Slime of the commercial club and sew
eral matters in regard to the pro-
gramIne were discussed.
Governor Burke will make the
principal address of the day and he
viii not occupy e one-half hours
time. Indeed, according TO the pro-
graTnrne committee 1t is hoped not
to keep the children in the taber-
nacle over three-quarters OF an hour.
Ri. Rev, Bishop James O'Reilly OF
the Fargo diocese Of the Roman Cath
Ole church was unanimously chosen
to deliver the invocation on this oc-
casion and Secretary Slime was APP
pointed to invite him to do so on be-
half OF the committee and commercial
club.
Col. e. g. Gearey and DR.. S. J. Hin
Of the parade committee were asked
to get into communication with diff
ferent civic organizations and endeav-
or to induce them to take part In the
parade, and a request will be made
that Co. B or as many members as
to the governor.
It was decided to invite all of the
priests and clergymen of the city to
occupy seats on the stage.
Each member of the executive COM
mittee Of the commercial club will
be asked to raise $40 among the mem
bers of the organization that he rep
resents in the commercial club for
the purpose of filling out the necessary
$40 to pay for the celebration, this
being in addition to $3.50 already rails
ed, and it was believed by the COM
mittee that in this way the money
would easily be forth coming.
Charles r. Stone was thanked for
his kind offer which was accepted to
provide a sanitary dring u for each
of the children at the park, and thanks
were also extended to the Manchester
Biscuit Co., for it's offer, also ac-
cepted to furnish each child with a
cake.
1t was decided that each child at
the tabernacle should be provided with
a ticket which would entttle he or
she to a basket of provisions, fire
crackers, ETC., when the park was
reached after the parade was con
cluded. The committee was very
much pleased with the reports that
were coming in, and will be able to
announce the programme in a day
or two.
