Miss Marie Walcamp, noted
beauty and the daredevil girl
of the movies" has clinehed her
title as the bravest woman in the
film world.
The browning test OF her nerve
came recently when during a
scene staged by the 101 Bison
company, at Hollywood, Calf, of
which she is a leading member,
she was attacked and severely
wounded by a rebellious African
lion and leopard I'm quick sue

The jungle creatures were
resting In their pens. In the
wilderness II was rowing time.
Wild geese we're winging south.
The beasts used for motion pic
ture scenes OF wild life felt the
mystic stir of the season. They
stretched and whined and snap
ped their tails ceaselessly.
Miss Walcamp prepared for the
first scene where an African lion
was supposed to leap over her
head; and to encourage the beast
to make the plunge a chunk of
raw meat was held out tantaliz-
ingly by an attendant through the
screen of heavy wire.
The girl, trifle paler than
usual. advanced toward the lion
within the enclosure. He crouch
ed immoblle. Only his tail
flieked slightly.
Suddenly as she moved within
range, the lion catapulted
straight at her throat. He struck
her a stunning blow ON the neck
and shoulders, dashing her pros
trate. Fighting desperately, al
though dazed by the unexpected
attack, Miss Walcomp managed
to keep the fangs from her
throat. Armed with pitchforks,
the attendants rushed to her res

safety through the gate. 1esA +

demonstrated her real mettle.

the apparatus is ready. And two
batteries as shown to reinfornc
the line If it is very long. When
a key at either station is pressed,
the magnetized bolt at the other
station picks up the iron filings.
When the key is opened the bolt
drops the filings on the PASTE
board cover, making a tapping
noise which can be easily heard.
In this way the Morse code of
dots and dashes may be sent, or
signals agreed upon may be ex>
changed between the two boy
telegraphers.
The key is made by running
the wires to block of wood, and
fastening one under a brass head
ed nail, while the other passes
under one end of a strip of brass,
which Is screwed In its middle to
the block, while its other end is
bent up into the air above the
brass nail head. When It is
pressed down to touch the nail,
the contact is made.
Be sure you procure gravity
batteries to run this line. The
ordinary dry cell would not be
satisfactory. The home made
gravity cell which will be de-
scribed in a short time could he
made to run the line very we'll.

Herbert came to see me to tell
me how worried he was about
Kitty.
you see, Margie," he said,
Kitty doesn't seem to be inter-
ested in my work at all and be-
fore we were married she was
very much interested in It,"
Before you were married how
many evenings week did you
spend with Kitty?
AT the last we were together
every evening"
What did you talk about?"
Herbert thought a minute. IL
can't tell" he answered honestly.
Mostly | guess about how happy
We would be when We were to-
gether all the time"
What do you talk about
now" Herbert began to laugh,
and that was a good sign to me.
II showed me he was still real
man and not just a reformer.
"Margie, you talk like the
judge at the court of domestic
relations"
well. that's a new one. I've
been told | talk like a school
teacher, a silly woman, a selfish
chit, a dear and many other
things, but this is the first time
] have been in any way compared
to an august judge of masculine
sex. But nevertheless | wish you
would tell me what you and Kitty
talk about now. What did you
talk about last night?"
I'VE didn't talk. l went over
to the Associated Charities to see
about relief for a poor mother
with three children"
"A splendid thing to do, but
what was Kitty doing?"
"Why-why--I guess she was
doing her homework. She was
In bed when came home. Surely,
Margie, you are not intimating
that | neglect my wife. have
never looked at another woman
than her. / never smoke, drink
or play cards-my whole life is
given to good works and to my
home"
what will it gain a man IL he
reforms the whole world and
loses his wife?
81 have been thinking it is a
good thing for you men that
women cannot name business"
as correspondents in their pleas
for divorce. / have never known
woman who had more attention
from men than your wife when
she was Kitty Malram, and be-
cause you are neglecting her for
your good work" does not make
that neglect any easier to bear.
Kitty is pretty woman. She
loves gayety, and, my dear Her.
bert, she knows that even now
there are those who would be
glad to shower flowers and fra
GRANGE and good times on her.
1t is not only the materially
poor woman who wants in
this world. Kitty wants you;
she wants joy and laughter and
happiness. Life is serious enough
at best, don't make it more SO.
Then ! laughed, for the idea of
me lecturing a highbrow reformer
like Herbert Spencer was funny.
But, you see, little book, / had
had a letter from Kitty only that
morning in which she had re-
marked that Herbert was awfully
busy with his poor people, and in
quired particularly about Bill
Tenney.

A.-Not necessarily. Too many

secretaries. just stop to consider
the cost or answering the letters
which philanthropists receive by
the hundreds. Some rich men

WHITE PRIMARY
QUESTION PUT
Up TO WILSON
Southern Democrats at Capital
Ask President for His View
on Negro Franchise.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Whether
the presidential primaries shall be
open to negro voters in the South,
is the problem which Southern Demo-
Gratis have put up to President Wilson
for an answer before they will allow
one step to be taken in Congress for
a primary law, it was declared in
high Democratic circles to-day.
Representative Underwood and his
associates in the House are no more
determined upon this point than are
Senator Williams and his majority in
the Senate. They fatty will refuse
to pass any presidential primary law
which will reopen the issue as to their
right to keep most of the colored
voters from the polls in the South
