BROUGHT HOME ALIVE. A man who recently visited British Col- umbia for big game hunting relates a story of a fellow-Britisher who was lion-shooting in r ganda. This sportsman had excellent luck. Near- ly every day he would pose beside a freshly killed lion or other beast, and his photo- grapher would snap him for the magazines. One afternoon the picture man, who was taking a nap in the hut, was awakened by a loud noise. He arose and looked out. Sprinting towards him from the woods, hat gone, and coat flying, came his chief. At a considerable distance behind, luckily for the hunter, stalked a huge lion. "Quick! Quick! Open the door, Dick!" exclaimed the hunter. "I'm bringing one home alive!

The Real Issue. j Hollowness of the New Liberal Cry. Although the Liberal Press denies any possibility of an immediate General Elec- tion, the methods by which such an election will be fought are already clear. The Government dare not face the judg- ment of the working classes on the straight question, "Are you or are you not, in favour of this Home Rule Bill?" and, therefore, no effort will be spared to hide the real issue from the electorate. For this purpose the lie of "The Army versus the People," and that the defeat of Home Rule means the downfall of democra- tic government, as secured by the Parlia- ment Act, will be used from every Liberal platform, and repeated day by day in the columns of the Liberal Press. This unscrupulous campaign was begun by Mr. Lloyd George in his recent speech at Huddersfield, when he said :We are not fighting about Ulster, we are not fight- ing about Home Rule, we are fighting for all that is essential to civil liberty in this land"; in other words, the question of the unity and peace of the kingdom, and of liberty for the loyal Protestants of Northern Ireland, is to be lost sight of, and at this time, when the whole nation has to face the gravest crisis which has been known for 300 years, the Liberal party choose to rely, not on the justice of their Irish policy, but on the hope of stirring the lowest depths of class hatred. A most earnest appeal must therefore go out nt once to every working man, who will have the responsibility of using his vote, to consider this Irish question quite apart from any other proposal of the Liberal Govern- ment. What are the facts? Firstly, the men and women of Ulster, admittedly the most industrious and pros- perous section of the Irish people, wish to remain united with the working people of England, Scotland, and Wales, to be go- verned by the same elected representatives in the Imperial Government, to obey the same laws, and to pay the same taxes. Are you prepared to vote that they shall not be allowed to do so? Secondly, these men and women, being in a minority as regards voting power in Ire- land, dread above all things being governed by the Irish Nationalist party. Although fair words are spoken now, that party have in the past openly organised and approved a system of tyranny towards those who differ from them in religion and politics, which would be beyond belief, were it not proved. Have you forgotten moonlight murder and boycott, cattle maiming and dynamite out- rage, deliberate cold-blooded cruelty, spar- ing neither woman nor dumb beast at the bidding of the Land League, and the doers safe from conviction, none daring to give evidence for so was "justice" done in Ire- land Do you forget that the Irish Natio- nalists in the House of Commons cheered the news of the defeat of our troops in the South African War, that many of them fought against us, and that no soldier can to-day be carried to his grave through the o Nationalist quarter of Belfast, for fear of riot and insult? The loyal minority of Ireland, Catholic and Protestant, stretch out their hands to you, their fellow-workers, for protection. IS YOUR VOTE GOING TO SUPPORT THE IRISH NATIONALIST PARTY or will you stand by those, who will, in time of need, stand by you to defend the Em- pire? Thirdly, the policy of the Unionist party on the Home Rule question has been throughout absolutely straightforward. They are determined that, if possible, the people shall use their old constitutional right, of which they have been cheated by the Parliament Act, to decide whether this Bill shall or shall not become law. This demand for a general election is insistent, as the only way of avoiding the disaster of civil war and the Leader of the Opposition has also offered as an alternative to accept a referendum or poll of the people, to de- cide this question, accepting also the exclu- sion of the plural voter. Can any fair- minded man say that any offer could be more absolutely democratic? Here is no possibility of government by the Aristocracy or the Army, as the Radical Press asserts, but a question that has brought the country into great and admitted danger is to be put before the electorate for grave consideration, and the final decision rests with the will of the people. Upon the individual, no less than upon the nation as a whole, lies the awful responsibility of deal- ing with a political situation unknown be- n fore to history. Never before has a central government, at the bidding of a disloyal faction, attempted to cut off from itself a prosperous and contented province. <s»

Football. North Wales Senior Cup. HOLYWELL WIN THE TROPHY. HARD-FOUGHT GAME. The final for the Coast Senior Cup had been awaited with feverish anticipation by the football lovers of Colwyn Bay and Holy- well, and hundreds journeyed to Rhyl on Saturday to witness the match. The ground was in perfect condition, the huge crowd sported the colours of their favourites, the sun smiled pleasantly on the arena, and everything combined towards a typical cup- tie struggle. Holywell, winning the tcss, set the Bay- ites to face the sun. From the commence- ment the game was exceedingly fast, and the ball travelled from end to end at light- ning speed. Ted Hughes was early conspi- cuous by a capital bout of dribbling, and a severe attack was made on the Bay defence. This was ended by Reuben Bellis shooting wide of the mark. From the goal kick Col- wyn Bay paid a visit to the vicinity of Ed- win Williams, but it was of short duration, as they were driven back by Goodwin and Fawcett, both of whom were on the qui vive and playing at the top of their form. Holywell pressed again, but openings after openings were thrown away. The Colwyn Bay defenders were absolutely safe, and the more aggressive the Holywell forwards be- came the more determined were McCann and Co. to defeat their object. McCann has lost none of his skill or energy, and on Saturday he was the best man in the Bay team. Holywell continued to press, and Reuben Bellis was marching through the Bay defence with the ball at his toes when one of the defenders handled within a few yards of goal. The referee ordered a pen- alty kick. This was taken by Geo. Petrie, who sent the ball crashing against the up- right, and one of the forwards, meeting the rebound, shot past goal. Colwyn Bay were evidently relieved by this escape and they infused more spirit into their play, but too much individualism was predominant amongst the Bay players to produce any danger. Individually they were brilliant, but collectively they were much inferior to the Holywell side. Hurst passed to Hawkes, and this player beat three men be- fore parting with it. He then centred across the goalmouth, but there was no one there to take advantage of the glorious op- portunity offered. Another grand com- bined movement by the Holywell forward line brought the ball into the Bay territory, but Geo. Petrie spoilt it by sending the ball past goal. The Holywellians were playing wonderful football in midfield, but the Bay defenders prevented the forwards from settling down into a position for shooting. The Bay de- fence was safe, but one shot from W. Hurst almost brought disaster when he missed the target by a couple of inches. The Holywell left wing were seen to great advantage at this juncture, and they cut through the op- position like a knife through butter, but again the last line of Colwyn Bay's df fence nullified the efforts. Another on- slaught on the Bay goal was effective in everything except scoring. The Holywell front line passed and re-passed the ball in a crisp, clean, and businesslike manner which almost staggered their opponents. The Bay defenders, however, stuck to their guns, and they made up for their absence of method in attack by displaying a master- ly knowledge of defence. A. Hewitt sent in a rasping shot, but this was saved at the expense of a corner. The resultant kick proved fruitless. Half-time, Holywell nil; Colwyn Bay nil. After the resumption Ashcroft led an at- tack into the Holywell area, and two corn- ers were forced in succession, but these were badly placed and the defenders clear- ed without difficulty. The Bayites at this period strongly bombarded the Holywell fortress, but the pressure was eventually re- lieved by Fawcett, who passed the ball to Hawkes. Holywell got into their swinging wing-to-wing stride, and W. Hurst passed the ball beautifully to Reuben Bellis, who was now performing at outside left, and this player transferred to Geo. Petrie. The latter player ran a few yards along the wing, and sent in a grand shot, which was ad- mirably saved by the Bay keeper at the expense of a corner. The place-kick was cleared, but Bellis again got going on the left wing. He transferred the ball to Hawkes, who sent it across to Petrie, and this player dribbled along the touch-line up to the corner-flag, from which position he sent in the best centre of the match. W. Hurst, running in brought about tfie down- fall of the Colwyn Bay goal with a rising first-time shot. The demonstration which greeted this success is indescribable. Hats, coats, caps, sticks, umbrellas, and all kinds of portable personal belongings were flung into the air. Reuben Bellis and Hawkes indulged in fancy passing tactics, which left the opposing half-backs bewildered, and they forced1 their way into the close proxi- mity of the Bay goal, but the defenders suc- cessfully sustained a fusillade of shots which rained in upon them from all directions. The Bayites at last broke away, and Ted Hughes missing the ball, let McCann in. Ashcroft, who' was excellently placed, se- cured the ball and steadied himself for a shot. He sent in a scorcher at a terrific pace, and it appeared destined for the net, but Edwin Williams made a fine save. Holy- well from now to the end gave Lunt and his immediate colleagues a hot time of it, but the soundness of the Bay defence prevented any further scoring. The final whistle was accompanied by tumultuous cheers, when the score stood at Holywell 1, Colwyn Bay nil. The conquerors had a great reception on their arrival at Holywell. Hundreds gath- ered at the station and lined the route of the procession through town. The local band played. On Good Friday Holywell are due at Holyhead in the league fixture, and in view of the Harbourmen's victory over the quarry- men at Festiniog on Saturday last, coupled with their desire to avenge the nasty re- verses sustained at the hands of Holywell

One day, with the idea of arousing his interest, he showed the boy a history of New England, Illustrated with pictures of the Puritans. "Look," he said, "here is a picture of the Puritans going to church on a stormy Sun- day. What good and pious men The boy looked critically at the picture. "They're carrying guns," he discovered. "What did they do that for?" "For fear of Indians and wild animals," was his father's grave reply. "The Indians used to lie in wait for them, and they had always to be ready to repel their attacks. Think of these noble men next time you want to shirk going to church. Sunday af- ter Sunday, in storm and fair weather, they walked long distances to church, always in danger of having to fight for their lives. But you "But I'd go to church every Sunday," the youth interrupTed joyously, "if I could get a shot at an Indian on the way!"

A LOSER. A certain innkeeper in Lancashire was, some time ago, running a "book," which fact came to the ears of the local inspector, who, knowing that he himself was too well- known to catch the innkeeper, got two 'tecs" from a town near by, and explained to them plainly what to do, thereby hoping to catch his man. The" tees" visited the inn, and, after a few drinks, one or them inquired the odds for a certain race, and was told 5 to 1 bar three. "Now," they thought, "we have him." So one of them, leaning across the bar, in- quired in a whisper, "What three do you bar?' The innkeeper smiled at him, and answer- ed pleasantly, "You two and the inspector."

NIGHT TERRORS. "Anyone who has not the nature of a cab- bage is neurotic," said Dr. Leonard Guthrie in his lecture "n "The Nervous Child" be- fore the Child Study Society. He described' the night-terrors of nervous children as oc- curring between the years of three and eight. If tne child suffers from slight indi- gestion, lie said, it is seldom terrified by pain, but by horrible faces. A stuffy bed- room will make it dream of being strangled. Cold limbs often cause a child to get ter- rors of icebergs or avalanches, and lying in an uncomfortable position brings dreams of torture chambers. He asked that nervous children should be treated with sympathy.
