of the evening before emerged, appar-
emily about to charge.
/ ordered the stretcher to halt and
pulled out my revolver. Abdul Gadir
and Dasalin stepped quickly forward
to cover the stretcher. but I ordered
them to hold their fire. From about
so yards the two rhinos came straight
for US.
The two orderlies were armed only
with single loading rifles firing solid
1903 bullets. On my word ''Piga"
tfire), they very coony commenced to
plaster the beasts with well aimed
shots.
nASALIN was laughing and thor
~ oughly enjoying himself. Keeping
enc eye on the porters. he ordered
Abdul Gadir to take the hindmost
beast, as If one of the rhinos had
as bad as the two.
Feebly waving my revolver. but re-
serving my fire, 1 imagined how the

yards the beasts veered away and
Numbered past us like a couple OF
traction engines running down hill

1t was one of Trumbull's chief de-
sires in executing the painting to pre-
serve the features of those who were
present at the scene. Although only
10 years had elapsed since the time of
the event and the commencement of
the painting, it was difficult to obtain
a complete list of those who should be
pictured. After consultation with
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on
this matter, 1t was decided that the
signatures on the original act should
be the guide.
1t is said the artist carried a small
canvas in special container in his
carriage as he travelled about the
country, making sketches of the or1gi-
nal signers. He drew SO portraits in
this manner. The pictures Of 8 others
were copied from the works of
different painters, while that of Gen.
Whipple of New Hampshire was done
from memory, and that Of Benjamin
Harrison Of Virginia from description
aided by memory. 1t was impossible
to obtain a likeness Of 13 others known
to have been in the room on that
memorable July 4, and they were
omitted from the picture.
Trumbull's Declaration of Inde-
pendenoe" was begun while the artist
| was guest of Thomas Jefferson at
Paris in 1885. The painter had enter
tanned the idea for such an undertake
| ing for some months and was particu-
larly fitted for the task by his ex-
| periences previous to that time, which
had afforded him every opportunity to
absorb the spirit of the men who were
so bold as to proclaim their equality
and independence in a day when the
divine right of kings was an &C.
cepted theory.
In his early years Trumbull had been
a child prodigy, entering the junior
class of Harvard College at the age
Of Is. At the outbreak of, the Revolu.
ton he was made adjutant Of the

informed that for the present could

in for a bad time. In the evening the
doctor came in to see me, and on my
asking him If he could save my leg.
he told me probably part of it would
have to go.
Two or three days later my brother

nurse who used TO remain with me
at night, / told her that | wished that

piled at once. shall we send for
him."
Then I knew that they did not ex-
pect me to live. However, l managed
to hang on somehow and. after lying
at Nyeri for about 10 days. I was
taken by motor car TO the Nursing
Home at Nairobi. The journey had
to be done in three stages. as We
could not, of course. travel fast

Nursing Home and wanted to get
back to England to see If anything
could be done for my leg, which was
by now some four inches short. | had
heard stories of the wonders of mod
ern surgery, and / was living in hopes
that perhaps I might even be able
to continue soldering.

Tekla Silas, put aboard the liner

voyage, though / half regretted leav-
ing Africa and hoped to return again.
On arrival in London | was taken
straight to Sister Agnes Hospital,
where was soon treasured and made
comfortable, though the tetanus both
cred me for some little time. Distin-
guished surgeons visited me. but Il

later / called at Whitehall and.

own participation in the destruction
Of the Havash lair was recognized. but
my real reward came later in the
form of the last sentence of letter

pull of brandy to alleviate the agony.
Every step was torture and, though

A little later l noticed the bearers

objects about 100 yards to our left.
On further examination the objects

ened and began to talk of lowering the

Dasalin settled the matter at once by

in the dark. When the newspapers sus-
pended, cooperation became difhcult-in

There are communities abroad where
the lack of a newspaper may be merely
a vexation. Not so with America, for
America, in a unique sense, is the land OF
voluntary cooperation; this is the basic
principle Of its wonderful development.
Machines can operatei in the dark. but not
men. When Judgment and volitiOn are de-
manded, people must be keenly aware ol
one another. The newspaper is a happy in
strument for satisfying human curiosity,
but its real function is to bring about that

seed houses in Wisconsin, Iowa and
other states complaining of sweet
clover and dOdder in alfalfa Seed
Mr.. Bowman said.
"This is the time Of year to clean
up the fields. It is not half as big a
job as many farmers think. A farm

a scythe cut out the spots, haul them
off and burn them. Of course, il II
is scattered all over the field, it is
impossible to do this.
"There is some agitation in the diff
ferent states for laws that will pre-
vent the sale of seed for seeding pur-
poses unless the seed has been In
spected by a state inspector. In lows
it is against the law to sell seed con
tanning dOdder. Most of the seeC
