The forces of organized, cooperating So

Why Go Back?
People are beginning to say to them

results can be accomplished through the
rigorous exercise o. social power. why
can it not be done in time Of peace?
Why should we go back to the old
regime In which, though peace and

The Villa government. 1t was learned

Mexico. Arizona. and California, In

Inasmuch as the United States laws

Not So Great, Altar All,

Sir Robert Ball, the famous Eng
lish astronomer, used to tell a little
story of an experience that he had
when he was at the Dunsink observ-
atory. A farmer came to him one
day and asked if he might look at
the moon through the telescope.
"Surely you can," said Ball.
"Come round tonight, and | shall be
very happy to let you see it through
the telescope"
Cant | see it now" asked the
farmer, surprised.
81 am sorry that you cannot"
said the astronomer. "You will
have to wait until night"
"Huh! Then your old telescope
is not so great a thing as l thought
it was!" cried the man, relieved
from his illusion. 81 can see the
moon at night without it,"

Bee Economies.

The organization of bee life is a
fascinating study. The workers in
a beehive may be divided into (1)
%harvesters, who bring in honey and
pollen from flowers, wax from buds
Of pines and poplars, water to mix
with pollen and honey to make the
pasty food for the larvae; (2) scav-
eugers, who in early morning carry
out debris, including dead, sick or
injured workers; (3) yentilators,
who stand erect and keep their
wings in continual movement in or
der to ventilate the hive; (4)
guards, who defend the hive from
wasps, robber bees and other enc
mics.

friend of DR.. Careful, and she did
not hesitate to call him up on the

morning, "is it safe for my Rachel

yet? None of them has ever had
whooping cough, and l wouldn't
have little Paul take it for the
world"
"How long has Rachel had it,"
asked the doctor.
Nearly seven weeks" said Mrs.
Sydney. "She doesn't whoop a par

with a meditatiye air and shook her
head when Rachel leased her to 20

morning. You can't play with
Marjorie until mother gives you
permission"
An hour or two later she went
again to the telephone. Il wouldn't
have Baby Crockett catch whoop-
ing cough for anything" she said
to herself, and she called up DR..

could you tell Mrs. Careful that

minutes this afternoon? Rachel
is very anxious to show her big doll

enthusiasm.

Mrs. Sydney politely. "I'll wait a

changed his mind"
Then her telephone rang. "Mrs.
Sydney" said. a very polite voice,
perhaps it would be wiser to wait
until next Saturday before Edith
and Rachel have their little visit.
There's no doubt in my mind that
Rachel is all over it, still, it's al

Edith is so very susceptible that

AT GRIPS WITH A LION.
Exciting Battle at Close ousrters With
ThyiIIino Finish,

ThrtIIin0 finIsh.
If you come suddenly face to face
with a lion at ten PAGES or pass in
the tall grass within a few yards Of
q hidden lioness and her cubs the
chances are that you must either
kill or be killed, declares Nj. f. B.
Bronson, the author of "In Closed
Territory"
One morning Godfrey Charles
Buxton left camp at dawn with his
Somali shikari. When not more
than half an hour out from camp
he saw a big black name about a
hundred yards away, leisurely retir-
ing before him. Buxton raced in
pursuit until he came within fifty
yards of the lion, and then, some
what winded, halted for a shot. AT
the same moment the lion stopped
and turned His tail began to
lash angrily from eide to side, his
head was raised and his eyes blazed
angrily.
With 2 steady aim Buxton sent a
heavy bail crashing into his quarry
and dropped him quivering in the
grass. If Buxton had left him the
lion would have been dead in fifteen
minutes, but although he knew he
had given a mortal wound Buxton
fred again. He could see little Of
the recumbent body and missed.
The shot, however, reused the dying
lion to action. He rose and charged.
In another instant the huntsman
and his quarry we're at death grips.
Buxton was sure that the lion
was carrying his death wound and
that he needed only to save him.
self for a few moments. Above all,
he must keep his feet and hold the
lion off. So, as the lion came on,
Buxton rammed his empty rifle bar
rel into the open jaws until three
fourths Of its length had passed
down the animals throat.
There followed a struggle unpar-
alleled, ] believe, in the history Of
lion hunting. They swayed and
struggled, while the beasts claws
tore the flesh of the mans arms and
legs to ribbons. Just as Buxton was
near going down in sheer exhaus-
ton help came from the Somali
shikari.
The shikari had been trying all
this time to shoot the lion with the
spare Mauser, but could not dis
charge it. The gun had been set
at "safe," and in his excitement the
Somali failed to discover what the
trouble was.
At length, in the very nick Of
time, the Somali dropped the gun
and literally sprang upon the lions
back. Then he began to pound the
beast so vigorously with his fists
that it whirled about to reach him,
and man and beast went to earth to-
gether, the Somali beneath the lion
and the Mauser rifle beneath the
Somall.
Thus released, Buxton painfully
rose, gingerly pulled the Mauser
free and with it blew the lions
brains out,
DR.. Hall, the resident physician
of Juja farm, got to Buxton Just
in time to save his life. With
iron nerve Buxton had cauterized
his thirteen deep wounds with pure
crystals Of permanganate of potash
and so prevented %septicaemia from
adding to the peril that he suffered
from his loss Of blood.
