Lion and Locomotive.

A construction train was putting
along with a heavy load Of material,
near Gwelo. when full grown lion
was sighted stretched right across the
line and basking peacefully In the sun.
In reply to the whistle of the engine
the brute looked up lazily, but did not
attempt to move. The efforts Of the
driver and the stoker to drive him
or the line by pelting him with billets
Of wood were no better rewarded. The
train was on the point Of coming to a
standstil when the lion lost his tenn
per. He took a sudden spring at the
engine seeking In vain for something
on its smooth surface into which he
could drive his claws and thus secure
a foothold. Again and again the beast
sprang, falling clear of the engine
every time. The driver then realized
that the best thing to do was to so
full steam ahead and trust to the
weight of the trucks behind the train
on the line to clear the lion from its
path This was done, with the result
that the lion, a magnificent specimen,
was cut to pieces by the engine wheels.

WISE JUDGMENT IN TURKEY
How Scutari Magistrate Determined
Ownership Of Cow That Had

All readers of the Arabian Nights
are familiar with the manner in which
the Oriental magistrates dispensed
justice, with more regard to equity
than to law. Instances of the same
kind are not wanting in modern Tur
key.
A judgment worthy of Solomon, as
homely and almost as wise, was pro-
nounced by magistrate in Scutari

A peasant living near that place
lost his COW. About two months later
he happened to be standing at a rail-
way station, watching a trainload Of
cattle about to be sent across the from
tier. Suddenly he gave shout. He
had seen his COW among those cattle.
The trainmen only laughed at him,
however, when he demanded that COW.
The good man thereupon sought out a
magistrate, who listened patiently to
his story Then he pronounced this
