I

Lions Flesh Tigers Meat and BakedElephants Foot

Lions flesh Is said to furnish a verygood meal Tiger meat is not PO pala-table

¬

for it Is tough and sinewy InIndia nevertheless It is esteemed be

4 cause there is a superstition that it Im-

parts¬

R to the eater some of the tntlhrlyand cunning that characterizes an-

imal¬

This notion is not of courset held by the followers of lirahma nullar Buddha whose religion forbids the

eating of fleshE There appears to be considerable dif-

ference¬

P of opinion among authoritiesZ on the subject as to the merits of ele-

phants flesh as an article of diet Uy-

gome Jt is considered a dainty buttbfrre Isthe authority of at least one

rEuropean against it Stanley said thatbe frequently tasted elephants Uc h-

and that it was more like soft leatherand glue than anything else with

sr which he could compare it Anotherexplorer however declares that he

i cannot Imagine how an animal socoarse and heavy as the elephant could

k produce such delicate and tender llesh4 o

All authorities agree In commendingrthe elephants foot Even Stanley ad-

mitted¬

that baked elephants foot wasY a dish fit for a king It is the greatest

delicacy that can be given to a KallirSt Louis Republic

Sincerity-In life sincerity Is the sure touch-

Stone of character The good and valuable man is he who strives to realizeday by day his own sincere coucoplions of true manhood Thousands areStruggling to exhibit what some oneelse admires to reach the popularstandard to be or appear to be re-

Spectable and honorable but few makeI it their aim to live thoroughly up to

I their own individual convictions ofwhat Is right and good

f Carlyle well says At all turns aman who will do faithfully needs to

F believe firmly If he have to ask at4 t every turn the worlds suffrage if he

I cannot dispense with the worlds suf-frage and make his own suffrage servebe Is a poor eye servant and the workcommitted to him will be misdone

tf the Ocila Star isued Jan 19 19Seontaining an article from one C A

LrHardy of this pity relative to theconditions here sine the wet and dryelection which occurred in this coun-ty Sept jo 1907 0

i This article is so manifestly absurd i

on its fare that I should not thinkyour people would b > deceived by it-

I enclose herewith certificates of thecounty clerk county tax collector andt

city clerk showing that there has benno increase in the tax levies for statecity or county purposes in this countysince the said election awl there is no I

ground whatever for the statement of I

Mr LicHurdy that taxes have been in-

creasedf

i on hundred per centAs to the statement that the streets

art being used for garden purposes it j

seems foolish to me to notice such ai statement Never before in all our-I

I history ins there bern such a forward If movo in paving streets and sidewalks-and In the general improvement of our

I

mediate paving with vitrified brick for j

ragout one mile in this city Mr Le ¬

Hardy operated a small business onupper Lennon street near the pointi where those outrageous dives were losated before the election and his state ¬

I

ment that prior to said wet and dryelection he had done a business oftwo thousand dollars per month makeseverybody laugh who reads his arti ¬

cle I do not see how it was ever pos-

sible¬

for him to have done any such abusiness Mr Jesse Hagan who oper-ates

¬

a business of the same kind inthe same block says that his business-has greatly increased since the elec-

tion¬

Of course 1 do not know whatthe hOOkS show but so far as I amable to see Mr LeHardy is doing as I

good a business as he ever did Ifthe net and dry election has hurt him-in his business it is perhaps due tothe fact that he is prevented fromselling a certain class of goods as hehas been indicted for selling intoxi-cating

¬

liquors Of course I do notknow to what extent this indictmenthas hurt his business

The values of real estate have notIin my judgment within the last ten

years bean so high not property in jtineAi-rdent of the A < L Railway Co hasmoved to this city and is buying realestate extensively and has bought abrick block at a price greater than j

it could have been bought prior to thesaid wet and dry election The Ke iting Block has been bought at a pricefar in excess of what Mr Keating givefor it a year ago There have beenno sacrilices in property Our town-is well filled with people and it iswith difficulty that people procureresidences here Both business andresidence buildings are going up andthere has not been a failure of anymerchant since the wet and dry elec-tion

¬

withstanding the fact that we-t have had on us a great panic
