Is il a fact that bricks cannot be m ade

Once we shot a fine lioness in our
compound, close behind the house. In
this case she had grown incapable OF
going after the game from her haunts
upon the mountain sides opposite, and
her teeth were gone for the most part,
owing to her age. Therefore, she could
no longer compete with the younger
lions, as game Is getting scarce there,
and most of the buck remaining there
are small kinds, which do not satisfy
lion for long. In this case, the lion
ess had ventured to the compound for
the sake of the goats and chickens,
and we shot her as she was in the act
of killing goat. several of which she
had mauled. still have the head, but

bush is 30 thick upon the mountain
sides and the lions SO numerous that
no white man should go after lions
single-handed; but II two or moro
were to come here together they
would be almost sure of splendid sport,
as the natives know pretty well the
exact spots where the lions have their
homes. and are only too willing and
anxious to point these out, SO that they
