When the well known African trav- eler Dr. Robert Fe1kin was staying with the bloodthirsty King Mtesa of Uganda many. years ago the king, out of gratitude for his visitors medical treatment, wished to cut off his head. On Dr. FeIkip representing that the treatment was not finished and that if interrupted it would cause Mtesa,s death the latter granted him a reprieve until he was quite recovered Then the execution was determined upon. Enin Pasha, who was friend Of Dr. Felkin, had instructed him most accu- rateIy about the state of affairs in Uganda and had revealed to him an important state secret namely, where Mtesa's powder store was hidden. Dr. Fellin remembered this at the right moment and as last resort threatened that if Mtesa killed him he would bring down fash of lightning upon his powder store. Mtesa replied in- credulously, ssTelI me where it is, ;" whereupon pr. Felkin whispered in his ear, "It is concealed under your harem.'
 dtesa turned pale and allowed Eel kin and his companions to live The Lightning maker's'' authority increas- ed when next day a Hash of lightning happened to strike near the harem.

splendid start things came one right
after another. and Central made bas-
ket after basket and Canon had to De
content with the few points they made
by the fouls shot by Nesbit. who is
some star at this particular part OF
the game. until Craig. the speedy lit
tie guard. went down the floor and
made a couple of baskets for his
team.
Canon took advantage of nearly
every foul made by Central as Nesbit
never missed free throw and for
some time the only points they made
were mad by him from the foul line.
The star man for Canon City was
McCiintock. the big. dark-haired for
ward. to whom many of the girls lost
their hearts because of his extraor-
dinary good looks. with four baskets
to his credit, all made in the second
half.
ALTHOUGH the first half was a spIen-
did exhibition Of good clean basket
ball. the second half was trife
rougher and blood was seen in Z
eye OF many OF the players on both
sides. Canon took sudden brace in
this half and when the last whistle
blew the score stood 27-30.
The game was an all around ex-
hibition Of high class basket ball with
very few fouls called on either side
and there was no dirty playing at all.
The Canon City boys played a fine
game and won many plaudits from the
spectator. This afternoon az 3
o'clock they will meet the basket ball
team of the Centennial school at the
latter's gymnasium and all devotees
