Lions Can Be Friendly

Although it would not be safe to
lion, trusting to it's generosity to make
friends, there are a great many
stories of the kindness of lions to
other creatures which are perfectly
true.
One day, more than one hundred
years ago, lion cub only three
months old was caught in one of the
great forests near the River Senegal,
and was brought to q Frenchman as
a gift. The Frenchman, who was
fond of animals, undertook to train
it, and as the cub was very gentle
and quiet this was easily done. He
soon grew very fond of his master,
and enjoyed being petted both by h m
and his friends, and what was more
strange in a beast whose forefathers
had passed all their life in solitude,
the lion hated being by himself.
The more the merrier was clearly
his motto, and whether the company
consisted of dogs, cats, ducks, sheep,
geese, or monkeys (Which were his
bedfellows), or men and women, did
not matter to him; and you may i'm
agine his joy when one night as he
went to bed he found two little new
born pups in his straw. He was quite
as pleased as if he had been their
mother; indeed, he would hardly let
the mother go near them, and when
one of them died he showed his grief
in every possible way, and became
still more attached to it's brother.

SHALL SUCH THINGS ALWAYS BE?

The state of war in Colorado which has called for
"a proclamation by the President and the dispatch

are Responsible for it. The guilt is Congress and
state legislatures The underlying causes for the
Extraordinary In the Colorado mining region are
an our industrial system, which has promoted form
of Industrial slavery in certain occupations controlled
by large capital
The laborers in revolt in Colorado are mostly
aliens of different natonalities and ignorant of
laws They employed because their labor is cheap
and they are subjected to rules that deny them the
common rights of the American workingman one of
which that of association for their mutual welfare
These laborers have asked more from their en-
apoyers, the mine owners, than the means of live-
hood and decent treatment. They are not of class
disposed to violence and crime but they have man
hood and a sense of wrong the same other men.
In free country they want to be freemen not bonds
men, of private masters.
Should the laws of the land permit such industrial
conditions be possible? Should the laws permit it
tand justify the shooting down of men, and of
women and children when there is uprising of the
industrial slaves? Shall they alone be always held
guilty by the law and not those whose heartessness
has goaded them into acts of violence?

Where "Stogie" Came From

Ever know how the word 'stogie
came into use?" asked Robert Simp-
son, newspaper man of Pittsburgh,
to little party of his colleagues at
the New Willard No one in the group
of writer's did, whereupon Mr., Simp-
son proceeded; 81 presume there are
more stogies smoked in the Middle
West than any other form of tobacco.
In fact, stogies are becoming popular
the world over, and there are many
who like them better than the best
cigar. A long time ago | was in
Pennsylvania lumber district, and the
timber was transported to market by
means of teams. The teamsters in
most instances had long haul. and
ordinarily would take a whole day to
reach their destination, which was
Conestoga. Instead of taking along a
pipe, the transfers would lay in a
supply of Pennsylvania tobacco, and
as they drove along with one hand
would roll it into shape for smoking.
These rolls came to be known as
Conestogas, and as time went on the
word was contracted to 'stogies. =

He did what many other men holding positions OF

been affirmed in all the courts and his case has been
salutary lesson to all public financial officers 1t is

judiclous act than of the pardons and com

After six months the lion, now more
than a year old, was sent off to
France still with the little pup for
company. At first his keepers thought
that the strangeness of everything
would make him frightened and saw
age, but he took it quite calmly and
was soon allowed to roam about the
ship as he pleased. Even when he
landed at Havre he only had a rope
attached to his collar, and so he was
brought to Versailles, the pup trotting
happily by his side.
Unfortunately, however, the climate
of Europe did not agree with the dog
as with the lion, for he gradually
wasted away and died, to the terrible
grief of his friend. Indeed, he was so
unhappy that another dog was put
into the cage to make up for the
lost one, but this dog was not used
to lions, and only knew that they
were said to be savage beasts, so he
tried to hide himself.
The lion, whose sorrow, as often
happens, only made him irritable and
cross, was provoked by the dogs want
of confidence in his kindness, and just
gave him one pat with his paw,
which killed him on the spot. But he
still continued so sad that the keepers
made another effort, and this time the
dog behaved with more sense and
coaxed the lion into making friends.
The two lived happily together for
many years, and the lion recovered
some of his spirits, but he never for
got his first companion, or was quite
the same lion again.

Modernizatlon has begun to make
itself felt in Korea. American visit
ors will find the white-robed Korean
with his sparse black beard. his ma
iestical walk and stovepipe hat, still
moving picturesquely through the
wide streets of Seoul, ceaselessly
putting his long bamboo pipe, but the
general life of the city has lost mucl
of its languor and ease. A new energy
has sprung up since the arrival of the
japanese.
The immediate problems of the Jap
anese administration concern educa-
ton and the arranging of employ
ment for the people. The government
is greatly in debt to the American
missionaries for the work they have
rendered in establishing schools.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is said to be doing good work
in it's industrial school, and the Jap
anese government is pushing forward
the governmental industrial schools
which were founded by Prince Ito In
the protectorate over Korea.
The government will erect a new
set of buildings for its offices on the
grounds of the old north palace. Al
though the principal imperial Korean
buildings there will be preserved, a
number of the smaller historic struc-
lures will be RACED to give additional
space and to eliminate expensive up

There is no open evidence of organ
lied revolt against the new order
of things, and it is believed that
Japan has nothing to fear in the way
of rebellion. But there remain some
strong feelings among the function
aries of the old regime who have been
thrown out of office, and among the
young student class, which is per-
vaded with an interest in politics like
that found among students in Japan
proper. Neither of the opposing
forces, however, have given their OPP
position concrete form.

Wright De6es Theory

Not long ago Professor G. H. Bryan,
the British physicist, in the course of
an article on automatic stabilizers, or
more accurately automatic controll-
ers for aeroplanes, said that the pop
ular pendulum controllers were likely
to be dangerous as safety appliances
for well known mechanical reasons,
He further said that the attempts to
obviate these dangers by damping
down the oscillations were doomed to
failure, and told why.
1t seems that Orville Wright's
"stabilizer,' which it's inventor claims
has made the aeroplane as nearly
fool-proof as it can be made, depends
for it's lateral control upon a pendu-
lum. Apropos of this fact, Professor
Bryan writes: at is thus evident
that there must be definite conditions
under which such a device as this

DR.. John N. Alley, superintendent
of the United States Sanatorium for
Indians at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, says
he is convinced, after a study of the
causes of death among the Nez
Perces Indians for the last ten years,
that 90 per cent. of all the deaths are
due directly or indirectly to tubercu-
losls. In the hundred years that have
elapsed since the historic expedition
of Lewis and Clarke to the North
west, the Nez Perces tribe has dimin-
ished from 5000 to 1900. The present
tuberculosis death rate is about 40 per
thousand living or 21a times the rate
in the United States as a whole DR..
Alley traces the cause of the decima-
ton to the change in the mode OIL
living of the Indians from the open
air life of the plains to the seden-
tary, settled life of the reservation.
