APersistent Lion

One of the great Alrican hunting stories is that of the persistent lion.

Once upon a time in the early days of white invasion of the "Dark Continent," the chaplain of an exploring expedition was standing alone in an African yard that they had surrounded for protection by a six foot post wall. He had a magazine rifle in his hands, and suddenly he heard a roar right behind him and turning, stared into the ferocious eyes of a great lion whose head was raised above the wall.

New Lumber Ycrd

Dan L. Hieb and John Davis have opened a retail lumber yard at Rialto, Calif., rvhich they will operate under the name of Rialto Lumber Company. The office building, 3O by 120 feet will have a plate glass front, and the lumber sheds u'ill be 18 by 25O feet. They plan to carry a full line of lumber and building materials.

A fine rifle shot, the chaplain took quick aim and fired, and the lion disappeared. A moment later the lion head bobbed up again above the wall. Again the chaplain fired, and again the lion ducked down, roaring frightfully. Again and again in quick succession the lion's head kept reappearing above the wall, and the chaplain kept firing, until he had fired all the eight shells in his rifle. Then, all was still. When the lion failed to appear for the ninth time, the chaplain walked over and looked over the wall.

He fainted when he saw eight dead lions lying there.
