IHELO BY BABOONS
A Rash Adventure Wherein the
Hunter Was Hunted.
CLIMAX OF A CURIOUS BATTLE
The Conflict, Which Wa* Forced Upon
tha Jabbering Brutes, Resolved Itself
Ir.to a Living Avalanche That Swept
Down the Hill—A Lucky Escaps.
When I was in South Africa, a corre
spondent writes, I left Mangwe one
afternoon in company with a couple of
men who were traveling up country.
We rode at a slow canter through the
long grass, for grass grows long in Af
rica, over yonr head very often. None
of us carried a gun or even a revolver.
AH we had were sjamboks, whips
made of a single strip of hippopotamus
hl<L> aucl stout enough to tmlrn a man
if the blow v ere well directed.
We were at tout n mile below the only
pass in t'e s itith of the Mntoppo hills
that leads through to Bulawayo. Sud
denly we saw that the grass on our
left was bting disturbed over a pretty
wide are:;, and out of curiosity we rode
over. We found out that the grass
was si in ply alive with hundreds of ba
boo.;:; insiri-hins toward the bill.
Then" were brown baboous and gray
baboons and baboous almost black, lit
tle balioons. big baboons, mamma ba
boons, pickaninny baboons and old
granddads almost white with age. We
reined in our horses and watched
They showed no fear and uo desire to
get acquainted with us. They looked
at us over their shoulders, the mam
mas hugged their babies tighter, and
they quickened their pace.
\Ve ought to nave let them pass, but
one of the fellows suggested in a spirit
of mischief that we should help them
along. Before you could say "knife"
the three of us were in among them
autl began to slash with our sjamboks
in all directions. The baboous jab
bered and showed their teeth, but nev
er attempted to attack us. We were
safe so long as we were mounted,
i'retty soou they came to a clump ot
trees, w hich they tried to climb. But
the trees were thorny and they bad
to give it up. Then they started foi
the bills again.
We di*ove them right to the root 01
the hills, but there we bod to stop, foi
we could nut take our horses over tbc
rocks. The baboons swarmed np like
acrobats. I didn't stop to think, but
was off my horse and after them. My
friends called to me to stay where 1
was, but 1 Was up that hill almost
as quickly us the baboons were.
A black old man baboon was near
est arid I made a rush Tor him. He
didn't run. 1 cut at bin) with the
wolp. He only bared bis teeth and
snarled. 1 .looked round. On every
side were big men baboons, and each
bared his teetb as I caught his eye.
They had no intention to run nway
from me or to let me get away from
tbem.
1 lost my nerve and couldn't even
tblnk of a way out. All 1 could do
•was to back up to a rock, keep the
baboons at bay with my sjambok
and wait there until my companions
could ccine to my rescue. Before I'd
gone two steps stones began to fly
stones of Lo small size, either. Luck
ily a baboon is not a good marksman.
He makes a jump as he throws. Those
baboons bit one another as often as
they hit me.
Very slowly I backed for tte rock;
very slowly the baboons followed.
They were waiting for something.
That gave me hope, if they didn't
mean to rash me, why not back down
the hill until my companions could
rea> h me?
So I changed my direction and, amid
the fusillade of stones, approached the
briiik <ji tiie declivity. 1 reached it at
last and began carefully to back down.
The stones fell thicker than t>v>*r In
protection 1 h!M. to bold my arms
over my head. All the time there was
a hideous jabbering and screaming.
Presently 1 was virtually underneath
some of them. The old black fellow
who had first faced me picked up a
rock as big a: himself aud dropped it
I dod?«Hl stumbled over a rock behind
me and ftJi.
XUen I Knew wnui iut:> were nan
fag for A 3core of them were on me
in a moment. Tbey tore and bit me
fiercely. If there had not been so
many they would have got me at once,
but they got ia each other's way and
damaged themselves as much as they
did me. .
I tried to beep their nails away from
my eyes and face and throat and to
gether we rolled over and over and
down the'alope of the hill. 1 was
scratched and bleeding in a dozen
places „nd my clothes were torn to
shreds, but somehow 1 was not bitten
very iuidly. Perhaps the pace was too
Sreut for auy accurate work!
So we bumped and rolled downhill
first f ou rop, then the baDoons on top.
thfo at iast a rolling ball of baboons
with njc inside, i was too scared even
to think of death, although if I bad
been alone death was certain. AH at
once 1 Lea.-d the sound of hoofs that
scrambled .over the rocks, shouts in the

whistled as tht-y lashed round.—Baboons

Quickly Put the Stomach In
Sljnpe.
When the stomach fails to do its
work properly the whole machine
of man Is unstrung and wholly in
capable of work.-- This condition
obtains from the tiniest nerve to
the big strong "jumping heart.
It is a wise law of nature that
has made the stomach man's strong
est organ, but when it stops work
man ought to realize that it does so
because it can continue no lunger.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets will
certainly give the stomach the re
pair it needs and is always crying
aloud for.
A tablet taken after each meal
will in the course of several hours I
become a portion o" the digestive
fluids. It will build uu these fluids.
First in the stomach, then iu I
the intestines.
The liver is the storehouse of the
body. Here are assembled all the
reserve fluids of the system and
here the various ing.-edients of Dys
pepsia Tablets mingle with the
faulty natural juices and strength
en them, or if they are too strong
then they will be reduced to their
proper strength and proportion.
Purola Dyspepsia . Tablets con
tain a single ingredient, one grain
of which is sufficient to digest
3,000 grains of food. Just think
how gratefully such an element is
received into a body that cannot
digest at all without a new weaken
ing of the already depleted juices.
Go to Keller Bros. Drug Co this
very day and obtain a box of Purola
Dyspepsia Tablets, price 50 cents. A
week's trial will make you a new i
