STRATEGY OF A BusHMAN
How Little Native Of South Africa
Put Fierce Lion to
Flight.

The little bushman OF South Africa
is not only small in size. but feeble in
mind. Yet there Is on record an en-
counter between bushman and lion
which shows the man as cool in dam
ger and fertile in resource, Harper's
Weekly says. This bushman, while
a long way from home, was met by a
lion. The animal, assured that he had
his victim completely in his power. be-
gan to sport and daily with him with
a feline jocosity which the poor little
bushman failed to appreciate. The
lion would appear at point in the
road and leap back again into the
jungle, to reappear little further on
The bushman. however, did not lose
his presence Of mind and presently
hit upon n device whereby he might
outwit his foe. This plan was sug-
gested by the lions own conduct
Aware that the beast was ahead Of
him. the bushman dcdged to the right
and feeling pretty sure of the lions
whereabouts resorted to the course Of
quietly Watching his movements
When the lion discovered that the
man had suddenly disappeared from
the path he was good deal perplexed
He roared with modification Then
he espied the bushman peeping at him
over the grass.
The bushman at once changed his
position, while the lion stood irreso-
lutte in the path. following with his
eye the shifting black man. In an
other moment the little man rustled
the reds. vanished and showed him.
self at another point. The great brute
was first confused and then alarmed.
1t evidently began to dawn upon him
that he had mistaken the position of
matters and that he was the hunted
party. The bushman. who clearly rec
ognized the situation. did not pause
to permit the lion to recover his
startled wits. He began to steal grad
ually toward the foe. who now. in a
complete state of doubt and fear,
turned tail and decamped. leaving the
plucky and ingenious little bushman
master Of the situation.

CHILDREN A RECENT FIND
Not Before the Nineteenth Century
Were They Truthfully Portrayed
Ia Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century the
child mind and the child heart were
aot supposed to have enough in them
to interest the majestic adult. It is
true that you find a delightful baby In
Homer; that in Virgil there is the
prettiest glimpse of little girl, and up
and down In the classics you may
meet half dozen other pleasant
shadows of children. But they are
only shadows, only at the most charm
Ing pictures. They give you much
as II they were painting or sculpture
for In children's bodies art has always
had interest enough-only what a
child looks like, the pretty weakness.
the instinct for play, the naive ges-
ture and movement. Not till the re
turn to nature" not till the spirit OF
romance moved on the waters at the
end Of the eighteenth century, do you
find poets beginning to tell of the
thought and faith in a child's mind,
the mysteries of the child's heart, the
fancies that are dreams and the fam
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the iaborious phil
osophizing and sometimes the labored
sentimentality of the adult. But no
one who loves children will deny that

century books have a far richer real
ity. far fuller life than any that were
born in early works. And some of
the best are in Decentralization Tel

that he could not find anything wrong

JEFFERSON AS A NATURALIST
Carried Bones Of Common sIoth to
Philadelphia Surprising Them
Those Of Mammoth.

It Is said that when Thomas Jeffer-
son journeyed from Monticello to
Philadelphia on his way to take the
oath OF office as vice president he car
rted a lot of bones In his baggage
The bones, alleged to be those of a
mammoth, had been found in Green
brter county, Virginia, and sent to
MONTICELLO, where they were set up
by Jefferson, who. 1t appears, enter
ta1ned somewhat exaggerated no
ton OF his attachments in natural his
tory, and who stood sponsor for the
bones as those of "a carnivorous
clawed animal entirely unknown to
science"
reached Philadelphia that he was I'M
deceived, for at a glance the learned
Doctor Wistar saw that they were the
bones OF the common sloth, several
specimens Of which he showed the Vir-
Kipian. Jefferson, 1t is related, was
greatly chagrined, especially as his
discovery became known as Megalo-
nyx jeffersonii
It has been pointed out that. in
directly, no less naturalist than the
great Button may have been RESPONSE
bic for Jefferson's error. 1t was the
Virginian's practice to send Button
specimens and information, and with
the subtle flattery of a courtier the
French naturalist wrote:
II should have consulted you sir,
before publishing my natural history,
and then I should have. been sure Of
the facts"
