Face TO Face with TWO Lions a

Stewart Edward White, writing on
lion hunting in the September Amer

he had with two lions
that came onto him unexpectedly dur
ing a. recent years hunt in Africa.
He goes on to say:
:'They were about thirty yards
away and sat there on their launches
side by side, staring at me with ex-
pressionless yellow eyes. / stared

had been forced to shoot lions with
it, but my real lion gun with which
I had done best work was the 405
Winchester. The Springfield is too
light for such game. Also, there
were two lions, very close. Also, i
was quite alone.
As the game stood it hardly look

waited. Presently one yaWned; they
looked at each other, turned quite
leisurely, and began to move, away
at a walk.
This was a different matter. II

both to deal with. But now that their
tails were turned toward me, should

at the lioness and let drive.
My aim was to cripple the pelvic
bone; but unfortunately, just {as j
fired, the beast Wriggled lithely side

SO the bullet inflicted merely a
slight flesh wound on the rump. She
whirled like flash, and as she
raised her head high to locate me,

field hit a trifle harder blow. Also

in the barrel.
The moment she saw me she
dropped her.head and charged. She
was thoroughly angry and came very

my rifle ready. It was no place for
me, for the grass was over knee

The Astor Baby.

AS related from New York, John
Jacob Astor VI is the most expen-
sive baby ever drought into the
world. DIR. Edwin Bradford Cragin,
who is responsible for the safe adj
vent of the interesting baby, is re
ceiving $1,000 a, day for every day
he is in attendance on Mrs. Made
line Force Astor and her young SON.
DR.. Cragin left his country place,
at Colchester, Conn, and took up his
residence in the Astor mansion Sum
day, August 4. John Jacob Astor VI
made his appearance Wednesday,
August IA.
1t is expected that DR. Cragin viii
remain a member of the Astor
household until early in September,
for Mrs. Astor is most anxious that
her son shall be started correctly on
healthy and hearty career, and
that she herself shall suffer no re-
lapse and shall be healthy and
strong and normal, that she may
properly rear the child to whom
she expects and wants to devote!
her life
DR.. Cragin will be in constant at
tendance for nearly six weeks. At
the. rate of $1,000 a day his fee in
that case will total between $40, go
and $4,000.
No prince Of the royal blood, no
heir to kingly thrones, ever entered
this world under such expensive
conditions, but then kings do not
have the money to spend that the
American millionaires do. To give.
his undivided attention to Mrs. As
tor, DR.. Cragin when he left his
summer house turned all his other
patients over to an associate physi-
clan.

i x THE DONKEY.

LaFontain tells an iteresting fable
Of the ass loaded with holy relics, and
that the animal thought it was him
seh who was adored. He might have
added that a majority Of men seem to
favor revering the donkey instead OF
the real thing. They hug their de-
lusionS, and do not stop to realize the
difference between honest belief or
right principle and shifting views to
take personal advantage of varying
Withstand thus become popular and
perhaps powerful.
In this day there is too much adora-
ton Of the donkey-of men who take
up popular 'isms"-popular generally
because untried-and use high sound
ing phrases, sufficiently ambiguous to
be a clap-trap for the one who does
not stop to analyze them.
This is not only true in politics but
in many Of the other walks Of life.
Unless historical precedents can be
found as to the correctness of the
views advanced, it is far safer to be
cautious in adopting new views until
they have become something more than
mere theories. r

RAILROAD TERMINALS.

Enormous sums of money are being
spent by railroads in improving their
terminals in the large cities. Some
times the public believes this is for
show-to have something more SPLEEN
did than a competitor. enjoys, but The
New York Commercial presents an
other view Of these payments:
Development or the country has pro-
duced great cities, where land has ris-
en- to very high values, and has at the
same time produced a vast increase of
railroad traffic, which necessitates
larger terminals in those cities, aside
from the double tracks and safety de-
vices requisite to car for the denser
traffic. Could this larger volume of
traffic have been he died with the old
single-track road and terminals, a
great reduction in the cost of opera
ton per ton-mile would have appeared
and would have given rise for a de-
mand that freight and passenger rates
be reduced. Economy in operation eff
fected by doubling the tracks and pre-
vention Of accidents by installing block
signals might have effected a saving
equal to the interest on the cost of
these improvements and the greater
volume Of traffic might still have pro-
duced a, net saving.
But whatever saving may have been
thus effected is being swallowed up by
the enormous cost of new city term
inals which are absolutely necessary
for the handling of the greater volume
Of traffic. A homely proverb says that
one cannot put a quart in a pint pot.
Nor can the railroads handle the traffic
Of 100000 900 people with terminals
large enough for only CO., ,000, Rail-
road expansion has stimulated the
growth of great cities with consequent
enormous enhancement of property
values. The railroads now find them
selves compelled to buy property for
enlarged terminals at the enhanced
values which they have been largely
instrumental in creating. The Penn
sylvania road has spent 500, 0 1000 on
it's tunnels and terminals in New York
city and is about to incur like expense
in Philadelphia. The New York Gem
trail has been driven to make like ex-
penditures in New York. Great ex-
pansion of the same kind is taking
place in Chicago. The Wabash system
almost broke it's back in acquiring
Pittsburgh terminals. Now comes
Cincinnati with a $500 900 terminal
| scheme.

Revised for Next Fall,

An effort was. made TO revise the
football rules SO that the game would
be less brutal and SO that the list of
sorrowing papas and mammas could
be reduced. The revision, like that of
the tariff, was not entirely satisfac-
tory and we have gotten up a list of
rules, which, adhered to, should great
ly disappoint the undertakers. Follow
ing are some Of our rules:
When you get an opposing player
down on the ten-yard line with his
nose tearing UP the ground in a cor
rect imitation OF a disc plow, do not
jump on him with both feet, but gem
thy kick him in the face with one foot.
This makes the play more open.
When you get a player by the leg
swing him around in the air only i've
times instead of ten times before YOU
throw him across the field. He may
not go quite as far, but he will land
almost as hard and will be out of the
game permanently,
1t shall o be considered irregular
to bite off a mans ear excepting when
the goal line is threatened.
No firearms or gloves with horse
shoes in them shall be- allowed to be
used. Knockout drops are also strict
~ tabooed.
No more than nine men will be al
lowed to dance On q man when he is
down, whereas eleven and the referee
have been the limit heretofore.
When a man has two legs, two arms
and seven ribs broken he shall be con-
sidered as entitled to be retired from
the game and shall not be forced to
continue to play.

THE FAvoRlTE LAXATIVE
One at Night Makes the Next Day
BRIGHT; No Charge If II Doesn't.

Because Of its extremely. gentle and
effective action, Rexall Orderlies have
become the most popular Remedy for
Constipation.
We are so positive that RexaH
Orderlies win do all that is claimed for
them that we positively guarantee to
hand back the money you paid for
them upon your mere request, If ynu
are not entirely satisfied.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, are very pleasant to the taste,
do not grippe, cause nausea, or n
other annoyance usually experienced
when the ordinary cathartics are used.
Rexall Orderlies have a positive reg
ulative effect upon the bowels and
tend to provide permanent relief from
Constipation and the myriad of asso-
ciate ailments. Besides, they help to
overcome the necessity of the constant
use of laxatives to keep the bowels in
normal condition.
We honestly believe there is no sim
ilar medicine so good as Rexall Order
lies, especially for children, aged, or
delicate people. They are prepared in
convenient tablet form in three sizes
of packages. Prices, 10c., 25c., and soc,

THE PERSONAL INJURY DECISION.

To everyone who desires to see GER
tam OF our laws lose their faint of
medfaevalism and become adapted to
modern conditions ana modern ideas
of justice. the decision OF the supreme
court OF the United States upholding
the constitutionality of the employers
liability act will come as a matter of
qualification, says The Atlanta Georg-
ian.
The common law placed the employee
at the mercy OF a negligent fellow m
ploye, made him assume the risk of
any defect in the machinery or plant
at which he worked, if he continued
his employment after the defect came
to his knowledge, and held him to a
very high degree of care--a lapse from
which constituted the defense of con-
tr%ibutory negligence and prevented
him from recovering anything in a suit
for damages for his injury.
IN the days Of the individual work.
shop this might have been justice, but
in these days of immense factories, in
tricate machines and complicated and
dangerous processes It is not.
The act OF congress passed in 1908
abolished, or greatly modified, the old
common law rules. doing twentieth
century justice to twentieth century
workers.
Most states have such acts in vary
ing forms. The federal act passed
some years ago was declared uncon-
stitutional because its terms embraced
employees not engaged in interstate
trafie. The present act. however,
avoids that defect, and has been de.
ciared by the supreme court to be
valid in every other particular.
