A NEW TWIST PUT IN THE AFRICAN LIONS TAIL

Each member OF the party was equipped
with two powerful ritlcs-a heavy eX-
press. capable of propellIng a bullet large
enough to stop a charging lion or rhi-
noceros by its shock alone. and lower

Everywhere he is considered yer,

verdict OF the three. "and everybody who

The danger of determination of African

The trophies secured on the trip. which

apartments and for presents TO their
friends. Although they say that lion and

world, they are glad TO be back at work

BISHOP FUTILE.

Oldest in point of service In his high
office az all the 1l6 bishops is the Right
Rev. Daniel S. futile, Bishop Of Missouri,
who is almost seventy-scVen years old
and was consecrated when only thirty.
The first fourteen years of his service as
Bishop were spent in Montana, when the
driver Of a multiple-horse stage coach
was a greater man than the President OF
the United States. He. too. learned his
big lessons among the rugged pioneers IN
a school where there was no time for
formalitv and convention was superfiuous.
Perhaps there is a bit OF reflection from
those days i'm the statement that Bishop
futile made three years ago when the
spigot OF excise discussion was turned on
In Missouri IAN true Americans, IT
seems to me-" said the old frontier mis-
sionary, Ought TO strive TO maintain aid
perpetuate American principles State
wide prohibition violates aud local option
supports this principle; therefore am
opposed TO statewide prohibition and in
favor OF local option"
Bishop futile was born in the little
village of Windham, in the Catskill
Mountains. on the bleak northern slope
of Cave Mountain. The name of the
peak that Swallowed his home might
have inspired the hill-bred boy 10 be-
come a robber baron. but his thoughts
took a more peaceful turn.
