Kermlt also shot three buffalo bulls, Tarlton helping him to finish them oft, for they are tough animals, tenacious or life and among the most dangerous of African game. One turned to charge, but was disabled by the bullets of both of them before he could come on. Tarl ton, whose experience In the hunting field against dangerous game had been large, always maintained that, although Hon hunting was the most dangerous sport, because a hunted lion was far more apt to charge than nny other animal, yet that when a buiralo bull did charge Tie was more dangerous than a lion, becauso harder to kill or turn. Where zebra and other game are abundant, as on the Athl plains, Hons do not meddle with such for midable quarry as buffalo; on Heatley's farm Hons sometimes made their lairs In the same papyrus swamp with the buf falo, jbut never molested them. In many places, however, the Hon preys largely, and In some places chiefly, on tho buf falo. The hunters of wide experience with whom I conversed, men like Tarl ton, Cunninghams and Home, were a unit In stating that where a single Hon killed a buffalo they had always found that the buffalo was a eow or Immature bull, nnd that whenever they had found a full-grown bull thus Killed, several Hons had been engaged In the Job.

Even a buffalo cow, If pitted against a Blngle lion, would probably stand an even chance; but of course the fight never Is fair, the lion's aim being to take his prey unawares and get a death grip at the outset; and then, unless his hold Is broken, he cannot be seriously Injured.

JAPAN ALONE REDUCES WAR COSTS. Marquis Katsura, speaking to the World. calls attention to the 1100.000.000 a vear japan is spending for war. Even with tho Interest on war debt added, her mili tary bill for each family of five is less than $20. If Chairman Tawney's estimate is right, our own must be nearer 140 ner lamny. Of nil tho great Christian cowers not one Is cutting down war expenditure. It has been left for Japan, the only non- Christian nation that soldiers consider, to set this Honorable example. Japan has not dared reduce her army. It spells defense. She will not cut pen sions, for honor and gratitude forbid. But for the navy, the favdrlte arm of war shouters and the chief tool of aggression, her 1909-1910 estimate was some $3,000,000 less than In the preceding year and her dreams of ambitious expansion are dis pelled. Knowing, ns Marquis Katsura says, tho cruelty of war; appalled at the sacrifices of the tax-ridden people; sad dened that a race loving art and peace should be "civilized" by shedding blood, the Elder Statesmen of Nippon have led the way in war retrenchment. Their "great navy" program Is abandoned. In the same year that saw this hopeful precedent In reduction Britain and Ger many made fresh exertions In their wasteful war for navat supremacy. And the United States with no giant Russia planning revenge; with no China waking nt her door; with no foe on eirth to fear raised Its naval appropriation alone by $14,000,000 to $136,000,000, n sum twice as great as Japan spends upon army and navy together.

The milk war has reached a further acute stage by the decision of the Bos ton contractors that they will not in crease the charge to consumers, but that the Increased cost of transportation must come out of the farmers. As the farmers. rather than the consumers, were the originators of the recent war, and made the agitation which resulted In tho Saunders act, then It Is to be expected hat their wrath will at once rise to the breaking point In view of this declara tion, and perhaps they will shut off a arge part of their supply rather than produce at a loss. Nobody can compel hem to continue In tho milk business. Athol Transcript. From Boston to Darre by Automobile In a Forenoon.
