SENSATIONAL STORY
FROM KNOXVILLE

The savage vengeance of a
mountain lioness opposed to the
splendid courage of q woman that
was the drama of maternal valor
that ended when the lioness lay
dead, with head crushed in, at the
feet of Mrs. Francis Ellary. 1t was
a battle of mothers at the doorstep
of the Ellery home in the clearing
on Beaver Creek near mere, and the
human mother won.
Recently George Ellery, a trap
per, slew the babies of the big
mountain lioness which he came up
on in the woods behind his home.
The lioness escaped. 1t is the same
lioness, he is convinced. which Mrs.
Ellery has killed. She was working
about the house while her baby
girl, Helen, 3 year old. played in
the sand outside. Ellery "a away
trapping and had left only their
terrier to guard the family.
Mrs. Ellcry paid no attention to
the barking Of the terrier at first
but suddenly she caught a note Of
terror and warning in the excited
yelping. Running to the door she
saw the mountain liOness crouched
not fifty feet from where the little
girl was sitting, all unconscious Of
danger. Slipping n paw steadily
ahead of the other, the animal was
inching her way toward the child.
The lioness was avenging the death
Of her babies upon the baby of
their slayer.
An old rife lay upon two pegs
over the door. In a moment it was
in Mrs. Ellery's hands. The bark
ing of the terrier had so distracted
the lioness that she was not yet
within bouncing distance. Slowly
the trembling rifle came to rest on
the shoulder of the mother and the
gun blaZed. With a scream of pain
the lioness flew straight toAard the
assailant. The shot had only made
a wound in the animals shoulder.
And the gun was empty. IT Was
an Anticipated single shot model.
"My first impulse was to slam the
door in the beasts face" said Mrs.
Ellrey. Then | thought of my
baby"
AS the lioness sprang at her the
mother mustered all her Strength
and brought the gun down On the
furry head. The big animal ended
her leap in one death-gasp at Mrs.
Ellery's feet, her skull crushed in.

HEARST AND ROOSEVELT

No obstacles should be placed in
the way of Il political alliance be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Hearst. They are twin souls and
belong together.
Tier are no two other men in
American politics who have so
much in common. Both of them
detest the Wilson administration.
Both of them are opposed to the
Observation-Disclosures tariff. Both
of them are jingocs who are fun
damcntalIy antagonistic to the
presidents Mexican policy. Both
of the n are in favor of breaking
faith in the Hay PauncefGte treaty
in order to give a subsidy to the
coastwise monopoly. Both of them
profess to believe that the Wilson
administration is responsible for
hard times. Both frOth at the
mouth at every mention OF the
Colombian treaty.
Both Of them advocate regulated
monopoly. Bath of them favor the
initiative, referendum and recall.
Both of them are demogogic critics
Of courts and judges. Both Of
them are vehch~ent in dc%nouncinG
all Losses except themselves. Both
of them were educated at the same
university and have spent their
lives in political agitation. Both If
them were bern to fortune and re-
licvcd of the necessity of earning
their daily hrend, which has enabled
them to devote themselves unremit-
tingly to the exploitation Of their
ambitions. Both are perpetual
candidates, with a vagrant party
allegiance that can DC held only by
honors and Office.
Both OF them believe in militar.
ism and imperi. Iism. Both of them
are against independence for the
Philippines. Both Of them believe
in centralized government. Both
of them are on intimate terms with
certain forms Of big business. and
both of them favor the use OF
governmental POWER to make for,
tunes for favored individuals.
OF the two MIR. Roosevelt ha:
more ability ana is more versatile
but Mr.. Hearst has more politica.
independence and courage.
Mr.. Hearst always finances his
own campaigns, DIR. Roosevelt gets
gentlemen in Wall street to finance
his campaigns; but this is n differ
eECe in method rather than Of priT'
cipIe. If Mr.. Roosevelt we're as
rich as Mr.. Hearst, he would prob.
ably do his own financing too. MIR.
Roosevelt is more popular than Mr.,
Hearst, but Mr.. Hearst goes tc
press oftener than Mr.. Roosevelt
and has n greater talent for ap,
pearing disinterested when putting
something over"
the only difference bctwcen'them
arose over Mr.. Ronseyclt's direct
charge that Mr.. Hearst was morally
responsible for the assassination OF
President Mckinley; hut Mr.,
Roosevelt subsequently received
Mr.. Hearst at the White House,
and 81 that rift in the Lutte has
been mended.
Armagcddon is big enough for
both Of them, and Mr.. Hearst is
not avcrsc to batting for the Lord
provided the gate receipts arc
equitably diviied.-New York

the amendment. National suffrage
leaders say final returns may overcome
the apparent unfavorable majority.
Available returns show the amend
roent defeated in North and South Da-
l1ota. However. Mrs. Mednl McCor-
mick, chairman OF the congressional
committee Of the National American
Woman Association, said today the
/ amendment might yet be shown to
have won in both North and South
Dakota, since reports Of defeat are
based on less than half the returns.
The amendment mot with over

had chosen so to do Perhaps Lord
RidfOTth was slow to see opportuni-
ties. In any case she had failed there
failed outright. Hence-victory for
the long-patient Soames.
Miss Linden took up the note,
which she had let fall in her lap, and
read it through. A slow smile came
upon her lips and remained there.
1t had an oddly triumphant look, and
so had new light that was in her
eyes.
Miss Linden wrote little note and
dispatched it by her chauffeur. After
ward she went upstairs to her own
room and began to look over her
evening dresses. Once she said aloud:
Lady Ridforth! The Mar
chioness of Ridforth" Her eyes fell
upon a photograph of her fiancee
which stood on the dressing table-a
fat, genial gentleman with diamond
shirt buttons. Miss Linden snapped
her fingers at him and laughed.
The walters cleared away the din
ner things and departed to return no
more until summoned. The orchestra
began to play Gounod's little Der
ceuse." Lord Ridforth drew a long
