Does any first voter realize the null
meaning OF American citizenship?
To be a full-Hedged citizen Of the
United States. at the entrance to
young manhood. is one OF the greatest
privileges in all the tide OF time. No
citizen OF ancient Babylon, or Greece,
or Rome. could claim anything re-
sembling such heritage, In enlighten-
ed freedom, unlimited opportunity,
for real happiness. The young Amer
lean citizen is the heir of all the ages.
But his priceless heritage carries
with IT an equal measure OF RESPONSE
bility. His duties are OF the highest
order ever known to man. To perform
them properly should be his chief con-
Germ at all times. BY this test OF eff
cheney will his usefulness be recorded
for this and future generations.
There must needs be two political
parties In our Republican form OF gov
eminent. But before a young man
joins either party, he should deliber-
ately apply the supreme business
tests to both. viz: which can give
the best reason for its existence;
which looks to the future with the
greater confidence OF benefiting the
human racer"
Any young man entering business
should be glad OF the chance to be-

Surgeon to the Lions Victims.
On our march northward, we first made
long days journey to what was called
salt marsh. The so-called salt marsh So
sisted of a dry watercourse, with here and
there deep muddy pool. The ground was
impregnated with some saline substan:.'
and the game licked it, as we'll as coming to
the water.
We now rejoned Mearns and Loring
(members of the expedition who had been
left behind at this point) on the banks of the
Guaso Nyero. They had collected hundreds
of birds and small mammals, among them
several new species. We found that DR..
Mearns had been quite busily engaged in
attending to cases of men who were hurt by
lions.
L.oring nearly got in the category. He
killed his lioness with light automatic
rifle, utterly unfit for use against African
game. Though he actually put bullet
right through the beasts heart, the shock
from the blow was so slight that she was
not stopped even for second he hit her
four times in all, each shot being mortal
for he was an excellent marksman-and she
died nearly at his feet, her charge carrying
her several yards by him.
A settler had come down to trade with
the Nasal during our absence. He ran into

one OF his gun bearers. The gun bearer
rode into camp, and the doctor treated his
wounds. Next day Mearns was summoned
to a Nasal kraal l6 miles off to treat the
wounds of two of the Maisai; it appeared
that body Of them had followed and killed
the wounded lioness, but that two OF thei:
number had been much maltreated in the
fight One, especially, had been fearfully
bitten, the lioness having pulled the flesh
loose from the bones with her fixed teeth.
The doctor attended to all three cases.

AT night l heard the bulls believing and
roaring. They fight savagely among them
selves, and where they are not molested and
the natives are timid, they not only do great
damage to the gardens and crops, trampling
them down and shoveling basketfuls into
their huge stomachs, but also become dam
gerous to human beings attacking boats or
canoes in a spirit of wanton and ferocious
mischief At this place. few weeks before
our arrival, young bull, badly SCARED and
evidently having been mishandled by some

actually attacked the cattle, and was

An Exasperating Feature of Hippo Shoot
ing.
Ordinarily only their heads can be seen,
and they must be shot in the BRAIN If they
are found in pool with little cover. and if
the shots can be taken close by from firm
ground, there is no sport whatever in kill
ing them. But the brain is small and the
skull huge, and especially if the shot has to
be taken from an unsteady boat, there is
ample opportunity to miss.
On the day we spent with the big row
boat in the lagoons, both Kermit and had
shots; each Of us hit, but neither of us got

off-hand. hit him, but was confident TINT
l had missed the brain, for he lifted slightly,
and then went under, nose last; and when
hippo is shot in the brain the head usually
goes under nose first.
An exasperating feature of hippo shoot
ing is that, save in exceptional circumstances
where the water is very shallow, the animal
sinks at once when killed outright, and does
not float for one or two or three hours; So
that one has to wait that length of time
before finding out whether the game has or
has not been bagged. On this occasion we
never saw sign of the animal after fired,
and as it seemed impossible that in that
situation the hippo could get off unobserved,
my companions thought had killed him;
thought not, and unfortunately my judg-
ment proved to be correct.

farther end of little bay which was filled
with water lilies. Thither we steamed, and

away.
The ceaseless dread OF the lion felt by all
but the heaviest game is amply justified by
his ravages among them. They are always
in peril from him at the drinking places yet
in my experience found that in the great
majority of cases they were killed while
feeding or resting far from water, the lion
getting them far more often by stalking
than by lying in wait

Civilized man now usually passes his life

death by violence was their normal end and
threatened them during every hour of the

the average dweller in civilized countries
now undergoes the hideous horror which
was the regular and frequent portion of his
ages-vanished forefathers, and which is
still an everyday incident in the lives OF
most wild creatures. But the dread is
