MADE BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE
English Englnwr Acquitted Himself
Well in Unequal Contest With
Fierce Jungle Pest.
THE REAL CAUSE
Although lions are more trouble-
some than leopards in the Katanga
region (Central Africa), the latter
take a considerable toll of the weak-
er part of the population; they
usually attack women or children.
I heard of an English mining en-
gineer who lost his life through one
of these pests of the jungle. He wras
hunting fowl when he found himself
face to face with the big cat and bad
no choice of flight. He poured the
contents of both barrels of a shotgun
into the animal, but the leopard
sprang at him, knocked him down
and inflicted terrible wounds.
The man attempted to reach his
hunting knife, but whenever he
made the slightest movement the
leopard, which was lying on him,
mauled him furiously.
After some time the jungle cat
became weaker, and the Englishman
succeeded in drawing his knife and
stabbing it to death. When the res-
cuing party sent out to search for
the hunter arrived he was found
lying upon the ground with the
leopard still covering him, as he had
not the strength to shake of! the
brute, and he was trying with his in-
jured hand to roll a cigarette. Two
hours later he died from loss of
blood.—E. Torday, in the National
Geographic Magazine.

“I guess Maybelle is dciermined

“Why?”
“I notice she has rounded up four
or five girls to help her.”—Louisville

NOT UNUSUAL.
On Fire Prevention day a number
of Terre Haute’s four-minute speak-
ers visited the ward schools and gave
four-minute talks on the subject of
the'day to the children. Judge Batt
at one of the schools made a very
impressive talk. Just as he reached
his most dramatic point one of the
wee kindergarteners with a very
strong voice sot up a lusty howl. The
judge was bewildered for a minute,
but the teacher led the youngster
away while another explained the
situation to him: “Ob, it’s nothing,
judge, except you’ve moved your au-
dience to tears once more.”-— Indian-

“What I want to see is one big

“You shall see that very thing,”
said the salesman. “What Bize do
Some years ago the majority of
: women knew nothing about golf,
| and many good anecdotes are told
| of some of the curious ideas they
! held regarding the game. One lady,
; making sympathetic conversation atj.
dinner, said to a keen golfer, “A,
often see you in your red coat. Do
you need many dogs to play golf?”
A young lady said she knew exactly
how the game was played. “They
get what they call caddies to hunt
about in the grass till they find a
round stone, and then they hit it
into a rabbit hole.” A third lady,
who had evidently enjoyed a nearer
view of the game, said, “It is played
by two men. One is a gentleman
and the other is a common man.
The common man sticks a ball on a
lump of dirt and the gentleman
knocks it olf!”
“Why,” said a friend to a Midland
clergyman, “do you call your dog
Kibroth Hattaavah ?”
“Read your Bible,” retorted the
clergyman, “and you will under-
stand.”
f When the searcher realized that
Kibroth was the place where the
Israelites “lusted after meat,” he did
understand.—London Tit-Bits.
IGNORANT BUT GAME.
“What did the company think of
the returned soldier’s faux pas?”
“Most of ’em wanted to know if
he had brought it home with him
from Paris.”

old law of supply and demand
will push up costs.
because we can furnish plans
and service that mean the most
