MAN-EATING LIONS.
Bloodthirsty Brutes Which Take
Terrible Toll in Africa

Theodore Roosevelt, in Scribners Magazine
Man-eating lions have always been
fairly common in East Africa The most
noted. but far from exceptional, case
was that of the two man-eaters which
for time stopped the building of the
Uganda railroad by their rayages
among the workmen; until they were
finally shot by the engineer in charge.
Mr.. (afterward colonel Patterson. An
other lion, after killing several men
around station on the railroad, carried
off and ate the superintendent of the di-
vision; the latter had come down i'm his
private car. which was run on a siding.
and he sat up at window that night
to watch for the lion, but he fell asleep
and the lion climbed on the platform.
entered the car by the door and carried
off his would-be slayer through the win
dow.
In the summer of 1909 a couple OF
man-eating lions took to infesting the
Nasal villages on the plain around the
headwaters of the Guaso Nyiro, west
of Kenia, and by their ravages forced
the Nasal to abandon the district, and
the native travel routes across it were
also temporarily closed. A few weeks
later l was hunting In the district; We
kept the thorn bona round our camp
closed at night, with a fire burning and
askaris on guard, and were not molest-
ed. Near Neutrality-suspicious. white
traveller was taken out Of his tent by
man-eater one night, a good many years
ago; grewsome feature Of the incident
was that on it's first attempt the lion
was driven off after having seized and
wounded its victim; the wounds of the
latter were dressed, and he was again
put to bed, but soon after he had been
left alone the lion again forced his way
into the tent and this time carried the
man off and ate him.
Every year in East Africa natives are
carried off from their villages or from
hunting camps by man-eating lions. Oc-
casionally one hears of man-eating
leopards, which usually confine Them
selves to women and children. and there
are man-eating hyenas, but the true
man-eaters of Africa are lions and croco-
dies

New Idea for a Money Purse.

From the New York Sun. :
A farm wagon drawn by two heavy.
horses pulled up in front of the office Of
one of the leading law firms in Flushing
recently. Two men on the seat jumped
to the sidewalk and yanked off the wagon
a big trunk. which they carried into the
building. At the entrance to the office
they were held up by the Office boy. who
wanted to know where they We're going
with the old trunk. After much discus
sion in broken English one of the farmers
was admitted to the Office of member OF
the firm. He explained to the lawyer that
he had come to buy the farm at Aubarn-
dale which the firm controlled All
right" replied the lawyer. With that the
farmer called to the man guarding the
trunk in the anteroom and told him to
bring it in. He threw back the cover
of the trunk and to the surprise OF the
lawyer and his assistants there lay hun
dreds Of greenbacks of all demon nations
ranging from 81 to $10O. He seated HIM
self on a chair and counted out $4,000.
the amount asked for the farm. After
he had counted out the money there were
many more heaps remaining in the trunk.

well answer our purposes until we get
the Wasp, which is a larger boat than
the Sylvia. To enable us to retain this
boat, and in the hope of getting better
one, We must show the department We
mean business and that we can use the
ship. To do this every man must now
understand that the vacation period is
over and get down to business To &C
cOmplish this every man must attend
regularly from now on. 1t is the COM
handing officers desire and hope that
court-martfals will not be necessary, but
that every man will have the organfZa-
tons good at heart and that his in
terest will cause his attendance. We
made wonderful advancements before the
cruise and we want to continue. We
have had the good word and wishes of
all whom we come in contact with.
''On Saturday, August 30. the battalion
will select a number of men for cruise
on the Sylvia, which will last until Mon
day evening following.
These cruises will continue from now
on. but only the men who are regular in
attendance at drills will be permitted to
participate.
Payment has been made to men for
the National Guard pay. and If you are
entitled to 1T and have not received 1t
it was because of your absence from
drill this date, for which notice was
not necessary, as all hands should have

our first muster since June. It is the in
tention to make this like house
warming for our new ship. The COM
petitive drill will be held, dancing and
refreshments and other amusements
will be arranged. 1t Is the intent,
weather permitting, to light up the
ship and dock and, if practicable. to
have as much of the program carried
out on the dock as can be done. This is
a matter we want the men to take
hold Of. and it is hoped that you will.

The Naval Battalion Band is being re-

Thursday night started the movement to
put new blood into the organization, and
to get rid of some of the material now
in it which he believes cannot work to
the best interests of the band. The men,
bers of the band are regularly enlisted
sailors detailed as musicians. The plans
which Commander Dempf has made will
be put into effect next drill night.

How to Mend Furniture.

Dry rot is very common in old furni-
ture. and sometimes piece is too good
to throw away. The weak part can be
strengthened in this way: Scrape the
rotten wood from the piece of furni-
ture then spray the part with coal oil.
Make a mixture of beeswaX, melted
rosin and sawdust and fill the holes.
This will harden and make perfect
wood cement. If the wood is a dark
mahogany color add some melted seal
ing wax to the mixture; keep it hot
when applying it to the wood. When
vanished it does not show the patch.
When round breaks in chair do
not remove the back or leg Of the
chair. wherever the damage is done
Pull the round from the chair. repair if
it is possible, then with an auger make
one of the holes half inch deeper.
This will allow the round to slip down
into the deepened hole. after which the
opposite end can be lifted in place and
glued.
The piece should lie fiat while drying.
or the round will slip out of place.
This saves the trouble of removing
other parts to remedy one small break.

her condition was quite serious. She was
unable to get any relief from the doc

their medicines faithfully for nearly a
year. Some one told her about Peruna

wishes of our family, she besan taking

can we get on such little notice."
There was silence for moment,
while the deft fingers Of the hairdress-

soothing touch. Then Elya's girlish
voice sounded in delightful treble:
"Oh, mother, know the very per-
Son! She's terribly nice and awfully
iadylike" (Elya always emphasized her
adverbs and used indiscriminate ones

that's the best OF all-ouch!' In her
eagerness she'd turned her head bit
too suddenly. and some soap had got in
her sapphire eyes.
"Oh, l know who you mean." helped
out Mrs. Dix. while her daughter strug.
gled with the soap. You mean Miss
Clemmens, the governess to that little
English boy who died last week? Yes;
she's looking for another engagement
that's true, And she certainly Is a
lady"
So Miss Dorothy Clemmens of New

bring her back to America.

The opera was "Siegfried," the scher
