a KITTEN IN CHURCH.

On Monday night an amusing incident oc-
Cured at religious meeting which consid-
Ierably amused some who probably We're not
as seriously impressed with what was going
on as they might have been. While the
preacher was earnestly exhorting his hearers,
% little black kitten entered the door, and
after taking a calm view of the scene,
walked leisurely up the aisle until it reached
the upper portion Of the church, where it
spied for the first time the minister, vigor-
ousy gesticulating Pussy viewed him with
much curiosity for little while, and then
apparently for the purpose of making a
closer observation of what she seemed to
think singular spectacle, stepped within
the railing and seated herself directly in
front of the reverend gentleman, giving
every indication of the deepest interest.
When the preacher was near the conclusion
of his sermon, she suddenly arose, as if she
had heard enough, trotted down the aisle
and left the church.

A BRAVE MOTHER SAVES HER CHILD
FROM A COUGAR.


On the bank of the clear fork of the
Brazos river, John Selman and his family
were sitting in his little cabin, enjoying the
comforts of brilliant fire, when the dogs
set up fierce barking, says the Kansas City
Times, Mr.. Hewitt, who lives with Mr..
Selman, walked out to see what was the
matter, and discovered large cougar, Mr..
II. stepped back to get gun, leaving the
door open, intending to return in a moment.
But their morning visitor did not choose to
wait for his return, and followed imme-
diately into the house. The first introduc-
ton the intruder gave himself was to leap
upon little child, taking hold of its neck
with its monster teeth, inlicting some very
severe wounds. Mrs. Selman the mother Of
the child, grabbed it and released it. The
animal then made an attempt to recapture
the child from the mother, and Mr.. Hewitt,
who is gifted with uncommon size and
strength, knocked the monster down and
kicked it under the bed Mr.. Selman had
got hold Of the gun by that time, and as the
cougar came from under the bed he shot it,
the ball entering the left side of its neck,
ranging back and coming out through the
abdomen. But that only infnriated him
more than ever. lie then leaped upon the
bed, tearing the bed and bedding. The door
had got closed during the fracas, and the
wild animal, having become dissatisfied with
his little prison, like lion in a cage, leaped
from side to side of the room, upsetting the
chairs, tables, and other furniture, at the
same time uttering the most terrific screams
imaginable. AT last, Mr.. Selman got hold
of another gun, and shot it through the
shoulder. 1t then jumped at the fire, grab
bing its mouth full of live Goals, and stood
there and growled until Mr.. Selman opened
the door, and Mr.. Hewitt took it by the tail
and dragged it out into the yard, where it
died. 1t measured eleven feet nine inches in
length.
