One dark night I was aroused front
sleep by hearing something moving
backward and forward beneath my
bed. Becoming alarmed, I listened
breathlessly to a loud, long and. Inde
scribable sniff-sniff which broke the
stillness of the night. My experience
of Africa was not extensive, but 1
instantly realized that some wild ani
mal was under my bed. Every one of
my faculties became immediately par
alyzed with horror^ I *as nnabl* io
utter a sound. 'Vi-
After, a pomeut or two ^became
aware that a man eating lion was sniff-
ing his way along the edges of 4*epaid I
bed, perhaps a little puzaled^at the
mosquito curtains. I then felt I moat
do something, and instinctively, yet.
noiselessly, I huddled all the pillow*
and bedclothes oyer my-'head No
sooner had I done this than the lion/
with a horrible pur, grabbed me by
the right shoulder and dragged, me out
on to the floor ahd^jmio^e^iuelKrl^gaii
to suck the blood whfd
down my neck and ches^and every
time I moved be bit me more savagely.
As I raised my knees to get into a
crouching, prbtectlTe position he gave
me a little pat with his paw which
nearly broke my leg and inflicted a
dreadful wound. Then suddenly the
monster dropped^ me out of his mouth!
placed one massive paw on my cheat,
and then, throwing back his noble
head, he gay$- four terrible roara^of
triumph and deflance.
Ay chum walked round the but and
then saw^ with horror the hole made
by the lion, who had torn out the mat
walls and crawled under my bed.
Then it dawned upon him what had
happened, so he ran round to the other
side and kicked the door down.
All this time the only thing I seemed
to take interest in was the loud sip
ping suck, suck, made by the lion aa
be drew my blood Into liia, reeking
Jaws. I remembered with pang of
regret, that I had not lived a roodel
life recently, and I began to pray as I
had never prayed before. As I prayed
I thought how curious it was that I
did not feel the slightest sense of
pain with a man eating lion chewing
my flesh and drinking my blood.
I had been lying on my back, with
my neck and head resting against the
side of the hut, when my friend
smashed the door. As he did so the
Hon drove his terrible fangs into my
rigHt groin and leaped out of the hut
into the darkness. As he ran with me
he seeqjed to be twisting and Jerking
me round sideways, as though striving
to set me on his back.
The lion ran across the clearing
with me for about thirty yards'and
put me down under a big boabab tree.
I.lay on my back with the Hon on top

The Hon seemed perfectly^ content
with his prey. I felt his long, rough
tongue scraping up my thighs and ab
domen, and as it crept higher and
higher I felt little gusts of his hor
rible breath. I half turned my head
away, but stIU the'long, greedy tongue
worked its way toward my throat. I
could distinctly feel each bite, because,
although it did not cause tho sUghtest
pain, yet as the fearful Jt|ngs were

Froititing the Gulf of California
California astonished the World with its gold of 49 and has attained anagricultural develop
ment in recent years surpassing the dreams of all past ages.
SINALOA, THE NEW CALIFORNIA, IN THE REPUBLIC OF MEXICO
with its immensely superior advantages, has come under the dominion of the same militant genius
that made Los Angeles the metropolis of the hajpiest and most prosperous people on earth, and
will be transformed into one of the garden spots of the earth in a few years.
W E HAV E TWO TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY SYSTEMS—SOUTHERN
PACIFIC KANSAS CITY, MEXICO & ORIENT—and another coming.
Twelve Pacific Ocean ports which open all the world's markets on low rates.
Twelve big rivers to distribute over five million acres of land.
We have enough good level land to support a city bigger than Los Angeles.

GOOD BEAN LAND

GOOD RICE LAND
No blizzards, no hot winds, and ocean breeze every day.
Irrigation unnecessary for many crops.
Thirty inches of rain, annually.
Level land and easy to clear. Plentv of timber for farm
Buildings cost less than in United States.
Labor is 37J^c per day, without board.
Highest prices for products.
Nowhere else can the farmer with small means play as important a part in affairs and live
well as here.
Following our universal practice in colonizing new tracts, we advise no one to locate thereon
unless they have from $1,000 to $1,500 in American money. With this amount, a living can be
obtained until products from the soil reach maturity. We advise colonization by sugar-cane
planters, corn growers, orchardists and general farmers, also carpenters, masons, woodworkers,
and all classes of skilled labor. To those whom the rigorous northern climate renders suscepti
ble to dangerous illness, we advise Sinaloa as equal to the most renowned health resorts on the
Mediterranean. To .those who start with the amount of money named, success is assured, and
no one need feel doubtful of the result. Improved land under irrigation is now selling near this
tract at $75 to $100 gold per acre, and will reach double this price within a year. The Interna
tional Colonizing Company is offering its land to the first 100 settlers in 40 "to 80 acre tracts at
$10 gold per acre. This price will be advanced as eich successive block is sold, until the ultimate
price will not be less than $50 per acre. Remember, this land is absolutely level, first class farm
land, of deep black loam, 30 to 40 feet deep, with abundance of water, and such land is now worth
in Southern California from $100 to $400 per acre. COMMISSIONS TO AGENTS, 25 per *nt.
