When Lehar "CouIdn't Play.W

When Lehar, the composer OF The
Merry Widow and recently OF
Eva" which will soon have it's first
performance in Berlin, was the lead
er OF military band in Vienna, he
was an applicant for the place OF di-
rector of a musical association in
that city. One of the requirements
was Familiarity with and ability to
direct waltz music" Lehar appeared
with the other applicants for examl-
nation, and was promptly rejected,
symphonic music seemed to be more
his sphere than dance music" Ii he
had believed that the judges had
formed true opinion OF the trend
OF his talent, he would probably still
be as unknown to the world as he
was when he marched at the head OF
a Vienna brass band

LION ATTACKS A
MAN AND HORSE
Desperate For Blood, Leaps From a
Tree as They Pass By-Yavapai
Stockman Succeeds in Killing the
Beast With a Rifle.

George Ainsworth of Walnut Creek
is well qualified to claim the belt as
the champion lion fighter of the state
from a conflict that occurred last
week in the Juniper range of noun
tains, in a hand to hand conflict
that was attended with danger to the
the man, and which resulted in the
wounding of his horse and the kill
ing of his trained dog. Accounts of
this episode were received Tuesday
from arrivals from Walnut Greek, to-
gether with the receipt of the hide by
Joe Drew, says a Prescott exchange.
At the time Mr.. Ainsworth was
attacked he was riding along in the
snow about twelve inches deep, and
in passing under tree the lion
jumped from a limb onto his horse,
alighting just behind the saddle. In
it's plunge the lion threw it's claws
into the flesh Of the horse making
several wounds
Realizing his perilOuS position,
Mr.. Ainsworth jumped from the
saddle with his Winchester in hand,
and commenced firing At this time
the dog attacked the lion, and it was
an extremely difficult matter for
him to continue shooting under these
circumstances, fearing that bullet
would reach the dog that he valued
highly In about fifteen minutes af-
terWard, however, a bullet found
vital spot and the lion fell dead. The
dog was found to be badly wounded
and died later.
Mr.. Ainsworth is an experienced
lion hunter, and attributes the at
tack made on him to the fact that
the lion was hungry, and had been un
able for the past ten days to get any
thing to eat from the deep SHOWS
that had been falling. He also states
that this is the first time he had ever
known lion to adopt the methods it
did by attacking horse and rider
from a tree.
The peM received Tuesday was pro
nounced by Mr. Drew as of the blue
type. and the age was over ten years.
This breed of the cougar is said to
be the heaviest and most dangerous

AN AUTHOR IN A GARRET
Wearing Old Clothes and Eating
Cheap Meals Was No Hardship
to Moore.

In Paris had lived very much as I
lived in Victoria street, but it had
never occurred to me that I showed
any merit by accepting, without muir
muring, the laborious life in the Tenn
pie that sudden reverse of fortune
had forced upon me; it was no suffer-
ing for n.s to live in a garret, wearing
old clothes, and spending from two
shillings to half a crown on my dinner,
because l felt, and instinctively, that
that is the natural life of a man of
letters; and l can remember my sur
prise when my brother told me one
day that my special agent had said he
never knew anybody so economical as
George.
Some time after Tom Ruttledge him
self came painting up my stairs, and
during the course of conversation re-
garding certain large sums of money
which l heard of for the first time, he
said: "Well, you have spent very little
money during the last few years."
And when I spoke of the folly of
other landlords, he added: There are
very few who would be content to live
in cockloft like this
And looking round my room I real
iZed that what he said was true; I was
living in a cockloft, bitterly cold in
winter and sitting in summer; the
sun beating fiercely on the windows in
the afternoon, obliging me to write in
my shirt sleeves.-George Moore in

Good Advice,

Former Mayor Dunno of Chicago in

about their ancestors. If you be-

Most Furs Wear Long With Care.

Most furs are durable, experts say,
and will last for long time if guard
ed from moths, high temperatures and
spring sunshine A less durable fur is
broadtail, as it is taken from young
animals. Chinchiila and ermine are
also delicate, both in color and tex.

Good Wishes For The Jeffs
From One of Their
Best Friends.

My Dear Brother Watson: I adj
dress you thus, for the reason that we
have been cO-laborers in the greatest
reformation in the history Of our De-
loved GOd-given America; with a gov
eminent of the people, by the people,
and for the people bequeathed to us
from our forefathers.
Such a government was founded
upon the immutable principles Of
true Democracy.
On the closing scenes of another
year, laden with it's ups and downs,
on this holy Sabbath afternoon I wish
to send Christmas and New Years
greetings to you as our great leader,
and your many true followers, on the
success we have made in a righteous
cause. I believe that an all-wise God.
rules the destinies of nations, and or
dams the means and instrumentalities
to accomplish His divine purposes.
Looking backward, every true Ameri-
can delights to commemorate and cell
citrate the time-honored Fourth of
July. 1776, when in old Liberty Hall
our forefathers met and resolved to
declare the colonies independent of
the British government and establish
one Of their own, such as the world
had never known. l suppose that
every member Of the august body
were true patriots, but towering
above all others stand the names Of
our immortal Washington and Jeffer-
son. On the tablet Of fame, in war,
stands FIRST our noble Washington,
but in the form alton of government;
in union Of Independent sovereign
states, upon true democratic princi-'
pies, the name of Jefferson comes
first
The first great crisis in our history
was the agitation Of the slavery ques-
ton, based upon the doctrine Of state
sovereignty. This resulted in a dis
astrous bloody Civil war, which ar
rayed section against section, and
brother against brother, which result
ed in resort to arms, which brought
on one Of the bloodiest contests in the
annals of history; and which
drenched the soil of our beloved
Southland in the blood of true pa
triots on both sides of the battle-line.
We had our Davis, stephens, Lee and
Johnston. They, their Lincoln, John
son, Grant and Sherman. I desist
from mentioning any incidents con-
nected with the struggle, only to say
our banner went down in defeat,
while victory perched upon the stars
and stripes. which trust now floats
over a reconstructed South, and uni
ted union of states. So let US, as re-
naming old veterans Of both the blue
and the gray, now write from honest

majority, and cast my first ballot for
president. Our people were greatly
divided on the issue pending, which
resulted in the putting forth OF four
partisan candidates for President
John G.. Breckenridge Of Kentucky,
Democratic candidate, for secession;
S. A. Douglas, Democratic candidate,
for squattersoyereignty; VIM. Bell, of
Tennessee, for cooperation, and
Abraham Lincoln Of Illinois, Repub-
lican, for abolition Of chattel slavery.
AS Kentucky assumed a neutral DO
sition, I cast my ballot for Breckin-
ridge. AS | did then, and since. and
always expect to vote for the best in
terests of all. Mr. Lincoln was the
victor. AS to what transpired dur
ing the struggle, and his administra-
ton, [ shall leave it to the impartial
historian to give us the facts. How

ldent Lincoln issued a proclamation

to all is planted on the dome of the
capitol at Washington, D. G.
On Thursday, December goth. one

ANSWER TO A QUESTION
On the Sunday School Lesson fol
February 1S, 1912, by Rev.
DIR, LinscOft.

| Lesson. Mark 1:1-S.
Question 3. Verses 1-3.-What
difference does 1t make TO the po-
tency and truth OF Christ's gospel
whether Mark was right or wrong
in thinking that these prophecies
apply specifically to John and Je-
|sus?
Answer. From an historic stand
point it makes considerable differ
erence whether Mark was right. Or
wrong. in applying the prophecy
which he quoted. to John and Jesus.
If Mark was right in supposing that
the prophet had John and Jesus in
mind when he wrote the words
quoted in these verses, Ii is import
ant from an historic standpoint that
we have the evidence of this fact,
but one man may believe that the
prophet did have these two men in
mind, and another man may believe
that he did not have them speeifi-
cally in mind and yet both be true
believers in Christ's gospel and also
be his devoted followers. 1t is not
necessary that every statement in
the bible be either historically Of
scientifically correct in order to es-
tablish the fact of Gods existence
and of His fatherhood, and there
fore of the necessary brotherhood of
man; nor do the essential facts or
the life, the teaching, the death and
the resurrection of Christ depend
upon the inerrancy of the records
in which these facts are contained.
If the higher critics are right in
their contentious. the great basal
facts of christianity are Just as true
as if they are wrong. All true chris
tians have personal experience Of
God, and know of their own knowl-
edge that Jesus is their Saviour
Men who were dead in trespasses
and sin, and who gave their hearts
to God on hearing the gospel, and
obtained the clear testimony that
their sins were forgiven, and thru
power given them became as good
men as they were before bad do not
depend for their salvation upon any
particular view of the Bible, wheth-
err critical or uncritical.
