James Dougall, a boatman and lumber
man in Wisconsin, while saving the trunk

attacked by panther, that sprang upon
him. Dougall was alone--his assistant
being temporarily absent-but his strength
and pluck were equal to the occasion. He
seized the panther by the throat. and
though fearfully torn by the animals claws
he crushed it down on the snow, and broke
its back, and choked it to death He was
SO badly hurt that he had to be carried

We cannot too soon convince ourselves
how easily we may be dispensed with IN
the world. What important personages
we imagine ourselves to be- We think
that we alone are the life of the circle in
which we move; in our absence we fancy
that life, existence and breath will come
to a general pause; and alas the gap
which we leave is scarcely perceptible. So
quickly is it filled again nay, it is often

at least for something more agreeable

Is the Red Man a HumOrist /,

They had dispute in at Barham's one
day, over the assertion that the North
American Indian has no humor. Moody
said he'd investigate the subject while
on his approaching trip to Colorado, and
would send home an account of the re-
suit. On his way out there the party
stopped one night at Sioux camp, and
Moody thought he would undertake his
experiment. He led one of the chiefs
aside, and said to him confdentially
"Why is lame dog like an inclined
plane 2" The chief retained passive
countenance, and shook his head, and
then Moody said: because it's a slo-
pup" and then Moody laughed vocifer-
ously, but the noble savage scowled and
went back to his supper of baked dog.
Moody tried that conundrum on sixty
four braves, seventy squaws and pa
poese, without inducing smile, and he
was about to abandon his theory, when
he happened to remember that the
Sioux have not yet learned the English
language.
He felt then that perhaps something
in the nature of practical joke would
be more likely to develop the aboriginal
sense of fun; and he got two candle
boxes out of the wagons and placed them
on the ground about two feet apart.
Then he spread n blanket over them and
put bucket of water between them.
Then he sat on one box and the driver
of the mule team on the other, and he
invited Kicking Horse, the head chief,
to take a seat in the middle in the soft
place. Just rs the Indian sat down,
Moody and the other man got mp, and
Kicking Horse went sousing into the
bucket. Moody was surprised to OBJ
serve that the chleftain did not laugh.
On the contrary, Kicking Horse arose
with great dignity, and approached Mr..
Moody. That gentleman thought may
be he was coming to ask how the thing
was done, 80 that he could play it upon
some Of his friends. But Moody was
mistaken. The chief tangled Mr..
Moody's hair among his fingers, whipped
out knife couple of feet long, and
snatcbed off Mr.. Moody's scalp. Then

Punishment Enough.

In the Police Court yesterday was a
witness who had refused to obey sub
p9na, and who was accordingly brought
to terms with the aid of an attachment.
When the Police Justice asked him what
excuse he had to offer for his contempt
of court, he replied that at the time they
wanted him in court he was standing at
the altar, "gittin' married"
"May it please your Honor" hur-
riedly interposed bachelor lawyer who
had overheard the apology, 81 respect

sufficiently punished, and / beg the

The Signers.

The Oldest of the fifty-six signers of
the Declaration of Independence, at the
time that historic instrument was adopt
ed and signed, on the 4th of July, 1776,
was Benjamin Franklin, of Pennsylva-
mia, who was in his list year. The
youngest was Edward Rutledge, of
South Carolina, who was in his 9th
year. Three of the signers were over 80
years of age when they died, ten were
over 80, and eleven over 70 years. The
last survivor of the signers was Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, Nd, who died on
the 18th of November, 1882, in his Goth
year. John Adams and Thomas Jeffer-
son died on the same day, July 4, 1925,
the former in his Dist year, and the lat
ter i'll his 84th year, and when they were
gone, Charles Carroll was the only re-
naming one of the band of patriots who
signed the Declaration.

The First Locomotive and Passenger.
Car.

Stephenson had been called lunatic
when he said that his locomotive could
run twelve miles an hour One very
distinguished officer of the English Gov
eminent, whose duty il was to see that
the mails were carried rs rapidly as pos
sible, laughed at the idea, and said that
elf ever a locomotive ran ten miles an
hour with a mail bag behind it, he
would eat stewed engine-wheel for his
breakfast.
There was some little excuse for this
disbelief, for the first locomotive was n
very clumsy machine. 1t was called the
Locomotion." Stephenson, when he
built it, was the only man besides his
son Robert who believed it would GO at
all I; and some of the learned members of
the English Parliament declared that il
could not run against strong wind 1t
was a small, clumsy affair, weighing not
more than one-fifth as much as an engine
of the present time.
The first improvement on 1.-THE
Rocket was even more ridiculous
in appearance but it was found to be
faster and stronger. Before it was ac
cepted by the railroad company it was
/
manufactured by other engineers and
of the judges and thousands of persons
who witnessed the race, " nine-tenths
were against the Rocket, because of its
appearance. But Stephenson received
the prize over the other competitors, one
of whom was Capt. John Ericsson. His
locomotive was run fifteen miles an hour,
and once actually drew thirteen tons at n
speed of twenty-nine miles an hour
That performance decided the fate of
locomotives, and engineers at once
went to work to improve the new motive
power.
The first railroad passenger-car was
simply an old box on wheels, with seats
running along the sides, door at the
rear end, and seat in front for the
driver, like the box of an omnibus. 1t
was called by Stephenson, who invented
it, the Experiment, because it was
not generally believed that people would
travel on the railway. In 1925, about
the time the first line was finished, one
of the first papers of England said that
nothing could be "more ridiculous than
the prospect of locomotives travelling
twice as fast as stage-coaches !" And it
themselves to be fired off upon one of
Congreves rockets as to trust themselves
to the mercy OF such a machine going at
such rate" Stephenson, however, firm
in his belief that passengers would travel
by rail, declared that the time would
come, and he hoped to live to see it,
when it would be cheaper to ride than to
walk. This prophecy threatens to be
more than fulfilled in few years. 1t is
proposed in England to send passengers
by rail at ordinary English letterrates,
and under system of tickets like post
age stamps-a six-cent stamp emitting
the holder to go by any route to any part
of Great Britain. But George Stephen
son was not believed then, and the peo-
pie continued to call him Daft Geor-
dy," which means "Crazy George" II
was not long after the Stockton and Oar,
lington road was opened that more pas
senger-cars were needed. The first i'm
provement on the Experiment was @

coaches" This car was lighted at night
