Ram More Than Match for Lion.

nam morc man match Tor Lion.
Fred Wright, director OF one OF the
first motion picture studios. who has
jurt returned to New York from St.
Augustine. Fla, tells an interesting
story OF recent attempt TO produce
a Roman picture in which 1t was nee
essary to show lamb and a lion
together. He secured the surround.
ing country for a lamb to take the
part, but the best he could do was to
get hold of sturdy and warlike ram.
The ram was placed In the arena
with the lion and the camera man
got into action. So did the lion and
the ram. The lion made a jump for
the woolly stranger, and as he was ris.
ing from the ground the ram shot
forward like bolt from the blue and
delivered a smashing blow upon the
lions stomach. The lion fell over
backward, and before he could recov.
er himself he received another Jolt
from the gallant ram, which took all
the fight out OF him. From then on
II was a procession, with the lion in
the lead. Another lion was intro.
duced, and the same thing repeated.
This lion was whipped to n finish also,
and the fierce little fighter received
from the director the life for which
he had fought so well.

Gentlemen, l can't lie about the

the auctioneer.
The horse was soon knocked down
to citizen, who had been greatly
struck by the auctioneer's honesty.
After paying for the horse he said:
"You were honest enough to tell
that this animal is blind in one eye
Is there any other defect?"
"Yes, sir; there is. He is also blind
In the other eye" was the prompt re

gcncc.

Washington, July 3.-Tests by the
department Of agriculture have dem
onstrated that long staple cotton of
q spinning quality equal to the stand
ard Mississippi delta grade may he
pr-iuced by scientific methods on
the Carolina uplands. The depart
ment, announcing this conclusion to-
day declared the general impression
that the uplands were unsuited for
production Of long staple types was
due to lack Of understanding Of the
proper methods to be used with the
seed and at the gin."
Previous tests had shown, the de-
partment's statement continues, that
other sections of the Southeast were
capable Of producing excellent fibres
of the "a inch staple and recent
investigation has convinced experts
that the cotton Of this locality and
type. while not so strong as that of
the deltas, is less 'wasty" and has
the added advantages Of being earlier,
bearing larger bolls and being more
prolific.
