Michigan Man Had an Ex-
citing Experience in Africa
Helping to Kill a Huge
Beast that Had Stolen a
Native Child.
By III. j. WILLIAMS.

In the fall of 1900 a friend and L left
Michigan, intending to go to the gold
mines of johannesburg. Travelling south
to New Orleans, my friend changed his
mind and went to Galveston, Texas. 1
determined to stick TO our original plan
and so shipped on H R. M. S. S. Hyades
of 200 tons, bound for Cape Town with
a thousand and two mules for the Eng
lish army.
Upon arriving at Cape Town we were
ordered to take our cargo on UP the
coast to East London. On the south
east coast Of Cape Colony, where we
arrived after an uneventful trip OF thirty
four days, We learned that the war was
not yet over and that we would not be
allowed to go inland unless We joined
the army.
Wishing to see at least some of the
country, 1 enlisted in the Kaffirian Rifles,
then recruiting there. After going into
camp we formed a squad composed en-
tireIy or AmerlcanS-aH GOOD rioers ana
good shots as our target practice soon
proved.
Our drilling and fatigue duty were
getting monotonous when we received
reports of natives losing goats and farm
ers losing sheep and cattle. The natives
and farmers were aroused al the ire
uuency or these losses ana appealed 10
the officers-of regiments quartered in
East London to help them. They laid
for this marauder but were unable to
get a shot at it.
Finally a native child was taken from
an outlying hut. The natives were ex-
cited and a terrible vengeance was
threatened. One day as we returned from
target practice we heard the mother Of
the child crying and wailing in the Pc
culiar native way. Mother love is as
strong in these natives as it is among
the most civilized peoples. In defense OF
their young they will fight bare-handed
the most savage beast.
The mother fell at the feet of Lieut..
Preston, imploring him to save her
child. The lieutenant gave us permits
sion to hunt the animal. We were all
eager to go as the natives told of see
ing the long. yellow body Of a man
eating tiger just as he vanished in the
prickly pear and cactus which grew so
thick that a man could not penetrate
unless on hands and knees. This
growth extended some three miles in
land and about one mile in width.
There was a shallow creek flowing
through it which emptied into the Buff
falo River.
4 Desperate Chance.
1t was taking desperate chances to
follow the beast into this jungle. but
il we were to save the childs life, or
recover the body, If dead. We had to
act quickly. Lieut.. Preston called for
volunteers. Three of us stepped out
and the rest were stationed along the
outside. We three. stripped of all ac-
coutremen.s except revolvers and car
tridges, plunged into the jungle. Every

1t is high time all of our people were familiar
izing themselves thoroughly with the acts and
the tendencies of the Roman Catholic Church in
this country. We sending our missionaries
to countries dominated for hundreds of years by
that ecclesiasticism that our fellow men may
have the gospel and the liberty and freedom
which comes with it's proclamation and accep-
tance-This Professionalism should do more and
more But while we are seeking to remove the
horrible expressions of Roman Catholicism in the
Latin-American countries, should open our
eyes and see that encroachments on our
American institutions and attacks on our liber-
ties are made at home by this same ecclesiastical
organization whose past history reveals it's thirst
for political honor, and it's merciless use of it
when once it is obtained
That's an editorial written I suppose, by
Dear Doctor Lovett.
It reminds me of something that T. E. w.
has been saying for a couple of years, and
for which he has been cussed in all the varied
cOlors of the rainbow.
"We are sending missionaries, &C."
but while we are seeking to remove the
horrible expressions of Roman Catholicism
IN the LatlnAmerican countries, we should
open our eyes, &C."
Why not call in all our missionaries and
fight Roman Catholicism here, before it gets
our country in the same fix that Latin
America is in!
Why not save the house from catching
afre?
With our Presidents and our Cabinets
aping Roman Catholicism in our national
capital, with Bryan and Wilson initiating
Taft. with Wilson and wife employing Rom
anists for private secretaries, with Bryan
sending his son to the Jesuits to be educated
and making speeches in praise of the treason
Gus Knights of Columbus the Roman
ist priests employing child labor in their
Good-Shepherd slave pens, with the Roman
lists waging war upon our Public Schools, and
with the Romanists trying to bulldoze, boy
colt and penalize the freedom of the press,
it seems to me that we have about as much
Latin-America on this side of the Gulf as
anybody could wish.

Now, this God-given appetite, aohen frus-

The male, having no mate, may become a
rake. The same man, fifty married, becomes

The female, having no mate, suffers. She

= Some girls are over-persuaded by boys
whom they love: some are doped at the soft
drink fount: some are driven into lives Of
vice because of poverty: some drift into
shame, on account of the lonesomeness and

Many are attracted to the big cities, as the
moths are by the bright light: the life, the
glare, the human side of it, the diversions,
the never failing objects Of varied interests,
the cheap enjoyments- these things fasci-
nate and draw the young into the whirlpool
But in more than half of all the cases of
fallen women, you may be sure that the
woman knew what she was doing when she
fell.
Now then, what follows?
If it were possible for Chief Beavers to
chase every prostitute out of Atlanta and to
close every house Of ILL flame. the peril of
pure women would be fearfully increased.
Is it any proof of the truth of what [ have
said that, since the vice resorts qOere reported
closed, the very worst crime against a pure
girl was committed in the heart of Atlanta!
The horrible fate Of Mary Phagan appalls

The optimistic mush-gush starts off in
these words:
In Atlanta all the houses of professional vice
have been advertised out of existence by the
churches. The crusade that affected this consti-
tutes, in the opinion of Mr.. William T. Ellis the
most remarkable story in the present religious
life OF North America. The Christian sentiment
OF this Southern city has been solidified ruler
of the underworld has become matron of a new
nome for rescued girls, and "a tense political bait
tie wherein Christian showed that strategy
and the ability to win the possession of the
righteous"-such some of the outstanding
features of the campaign The "unforgettable
address of Jane Adams at the Men and Reli-
g1Ous Congress in New York last spring sent the
Atlanta delegates home with new vision of their
clty's local conditions. "They discovered what
may be found in almost every other large citv in
the country-a red light district wherein the
social evil was protected, or at least winked at.
by city officials" The Continent (Chicago) gives
Mr. Sllls's account of how these went to
work.
Without quoting Mr.. Ellis account of
how 1T was done, [ may say that nobody
could have mixed more rose-Water than Ellis
did with his ink.
Just think of those statements!

tised out of existence"

crusaders against vice would mix common
sense with their zeal.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
ANIb.THE COST OF GOOD
LIVING

Two statements have appeared m
the newspapers recently regarding
the everinteresting subject Of the
present high cost of living. One was
that under present conditions. the
cost of conveying six dollars worth
of food from the producer TO the con
sumer is seven dollars. The other
was a statement from the department
Of agriculture that one of the factors
in producing higher prices is the
agitation for pure 1oodstuffs and the
enactment and enforcement Of pure
food laws. These statements are
typical of two most important forces
at present influencing living condi-
tions. One has to do entirely with |
management and administration. If
it is true that it costs seven dollars
to market six dollars worth Of food,
and that the housewife is paying
thirteen dollars for six dollars worth
Of nourishment, the seven dollars
difference going TO pay middlemen,
railways, etc., this need cause no dis
may. It simply means that our com
mercial machinery is receiving more
than its just due, and that 1t needs
.overhauling and simplifying, a task
to which the American people are
fully equal But the other statement,
instead Of causing any apprehension,
should really be reason for congrat-
ulation. That the American public
is sufficiently alive to the import
ance and value of pure foodstuffs for !,
this knowledge to have an influence
on prices is most gratifying sign :,
Of progress and of higher and better
standards Of living. The fact that 2
the initial cost is greater has no bear :
ing on the ultimate value Of the food
product Certified milk costs more
than ordinary dirty disease-carrying
milk. but Is it more expensive? When
one considers the cost or medical SER
vices, nursing, medicines and loss Of
time and life caused by disease trans
mitted by dirty milk, it becomes evi
dent that the first cost is not fair
criterion. and that clean, pure milk
Is Ear cheaper in the end, even
though its initial costds few cents
higher This is true Of all pun
foods. The demand for pure food ma
terials and the increase IN living ex-
penses from this cause can account
for only small part Of the present
increase in prices, but 50 far as It
goes The Journal Of the American
Medical Association considers it a
welcome sign. since It means better
ana Durer foods and less sickness.
let IS not pay more than Is neces-
aarg for any food, but LET Us have
