End of a “Man-Eater.” N the year 1886, negro natives Mv- ing beside a branch of the great Zambesi River were in terror of & man-eating lion which had made a practice of coming to their vil- lage at night to steal victims. To protect themselves, the natives slept on platforms raised several feet| sbove the ground: but even then they were not safe. The lions made high leaps to the platforms, and added fur- ther victims to their list. Two elephant hunters, Henry Wall and Black Jantje, came to the region during the Spring of that year. They ‘were half-breeds Whose home was many miles away. From the natives, they d stories of the actions of the man- ting lion. “Only a short time ago,” they were TWO YOUNG MEN OF THE ‘TRIBE DROVE SPEARS INTO THE MAN- EATER'S CHEST. told, “a man was dragged from the platform where he was sleeping. His wife heard his cries and jumj down to try to save him. The lion killed her as well as her husband.” One night, while Wall and Jantje were sleeping with a group of native hunters, Jantje was awakened by a low growl. “The lion has comel!” he shouted, leaping to his feet.

THE EVENING Good Taste Today BY EMILY POST, “My dear Mrs. Post—Several days ago I read an article of yours which said that a man’s wedding ring is fitted to his little finger rather than to his third finger, and that this last is typical of Europeans. Did you really mean this, because I have seen many Ameri- can men wear a wedding ring on the third finger?” Answer—I should, I suppose, have qualified my statement, saying that men of the fashionable world, in New York oronltm(tfll&imflnm.wn&m. ding rings on the little finger—if they wear them at all.

When he had gone a little distance without feeling them he ven- tured to throw a hurried glance back over his shoulder and to his amagement discovered that he wasn't being followed at all. No, sir, there was no one after him. Swinging in a wide circle was a member of the Hawk family, one of tne biggest, but the instant Peter got a good look at him he recognised one whom he regarded as a friend rather than an enemy. Peter stopped. ‘The big bird flew low over him, cir- cled and alighted on the ground. “Do you always run a from your friends, Peter?” inquired Plunger the Osprey, often called Fish Hawk. Peter looked sheepish. “I didn't get a good look at you or I wouldn't have run,” said he. "“I didn’t know you were back.

This afternoon our cook Nora was some of the little round cakes like makes, smelllhg te, and I went and looked in the kitchin door trying to think of a swell compliment to make her feel generous, saying, Gosh, Nora, you certeny are a neet cooker, you keep everything all shiny and never on the floor or anything. I'm intirely too neet, that’s just what a what makes me a slave and a beest or berden scrubbing and rubbing and pol- ishing and picking up from mornin nite while other gerls go singing about their work like butterflies not caring how things look or where are or who says ing as long as the werk gets done some way or another, that’s the ppy way to instead of the likes of me toiling and slaving like an ignorant fool to keep everything spick and span, so go away with ymn'I tawk of neetness and get your funny face out of me kitchin door, Nora said. unding like such a good start, Nora, you dont need to Worry about | elts as long as you keep | lookin like Lovey Darling. “What's you tawking about now, what blarney is this?

How It Started BY JEAN NEWTON. “I bumped my funny bone!” We have all heard it; we have all done it. And there is absolutely noth- ing funny about it. ‘The “funny bone” is the bone of the brachium, or upper part of the arm or fore limb. It's anatomical name is the “humerus.” ‘This is Latin, and better “’umerus,” though “humerus” it doubtless will more popularly remain. And it is the verbal play on this Latin “humerus” to which our term “funny bone” owes its origin! WOMEN’S FEATURES, Conquering Contract BY P, HAL SIMS T. flmhtm greatest living er.
