No heronie of romance had ever had
a more varied career than this lady,

retains to so great degree that no
sooner is she free than claimant

first husband was Bigelow Lawrence,
Of Boston from whom she was di-
rorced in less than a year by special
act Of the Kentucky Legislature.

A Close Fight With O Panther.

The Ottawa (Canada) Free Press of the
9th instant says: Last week a hunter,
named Jacob Farquarson. while passing
through the forest between White Fish
Lake and Black Trout Lake, near the
headwaters of the Madawaska river, en-
countered a puma, or American pan
Their. He came across the carcass of
deer, which he stopped to examine, and
found it to be the remains of large
upland cariboo. While looking at it he
heard a noise at some distance off
among the tree tops. Shortly after, the
sounds were repeated, and, on looking
up, he saw a large animal leaping from
tree to tree toward the spot where he
stood. He was armed with Ballard
rifle, and as soon as the beast came near
enough he fired at it, when, to his sur
prise and alarm, the brute sprang from
the tree directly at him. In the mean
time the hunter hal rapidly reloaded,
and having jumped aside and behind a
large pine before the Infatuated animal
could recover for second spring, he
gave it another bullet. Both shots had
taken effect, as was afterwards discov-
ered but neither in a vital part. After
the second shot the puma turned and
darted with a roar at the hunter, who
drew long keen-edged hunting knife
and with his back against tree await
ed his enemy. The enraged animal
sprang at him and fastened it's long
curved claws into his shoulder. when he
drove the knife repeatedly to the hilt
into its breast Both came to the ground
together, but the struggle did not last
long, for the huge animal, weakened by
knife of Farquarson, soon turned over
dead. The animal, which is quite rare
In Canada now, was one of the largest
size, measuring nine feet from the nose
to the extremity of the tall

SuDerStitiOn.

The military superstition that it is
dangerous to change the color of a horse
during a campaign. has been illustrated
by Gen. Skobeleff. He does not like
gray horse, but he happened to ride che
in first battle, and soon came to believe
that he could never be killed on a horse
of that color. A correspondent of
Sedalia paper, who served under Shelby
during the American civil war, states
that that officer had similar supersti-
ton. His color was sorrel, and he
firmly believed that he would never be
killed while mounted on horse of that
hue. He was wounded three times, but
never while riding sorrel horse. He
had twenty-four horses killed under him
in the various engagements, in which he
was not wounded and in every instance
the horse that went down under him
was sorrel. Once ball struck the
brim of his large felt hat, and scratched
his forehead, and he fell heavily from
the saddle; but he was on his feet in an
instant, shouting to his men, I cannot
be killed to-day, for I am on sorrel
horse"

The Postage Stamp SWindle.
New York Tribune,

Mr. Kirby, the Little Rock sewing
machine agent, whose trade in postage
stamps purchased from postmasters at
offices doing small business was re-
ported a year ago, has devised a new
plan for swindling the government out
of its revenues. In order to prevent all
illegitimate trade in stamped envelopes
bearing a request to return, the depart
ment M AIDE a rule that no acquisitions
for such envelopes would be filled un-
less they came from the postmaster at
the place to which the letter for which
they were used were to be returned.
It has now been discovered that Mr..
Kirby has set up an establish
ment In Little Rock IN which
he grasses the name of the town
printed on the end of the envelopes
and substitutes the name of any other
town which he may think proper.
Postmasters at several Offices have or
dered large quantities of return enve-
lopes, which under the rules of the de-
partment they obtain at discount,
and sold them to Mr.. Kirby sometimes
for cash and sometimes for sewing ma
chimes, or other articles. He dextrous-
ly removes the name of the town origi-
nally printed on the envelopes, and sub
stitutes any other which his customer
may desire. Mr.. Kirby, it is said, has
boosted that he made profit of $4,000
in this business and in the traffic in
postage stamps.

Wade HamptOn's Gift Horse.

+" The governor arrived home yesterday

five years of age, and was purchased in
Kentucky by Mr.. John E. Lewis, of
Oconee, when two years old, for 5000,
and was afterwards sold to Mr.. John B.
Adger, of And erson, and must be at
present worth fully $4,000. While the
governor was in Anderson the other day
the guest of a friend, the citizens hastily
made up a purse, none being allowed
to contribute more than one dollar, and
calling the governor out, presented him
with the beautiful steed"

The Tender Passion Among Sea-LiOns.
San Francisco Golden Era.


While sitting on the veranda facing
the ocean, at the Cliff House, not long
since, watching the sea-lions disporting
themselves in the surf, lazily climbing
the rocks, and as laziIv sliding off again
into the briny, an old gentleman APP
preached and asked if we knew what
"hem seals were doing?" Telling him
| that we didn't know exactly what they
were doing, he continued in the most
knowing and confidential manner pos
sible, "Why, they are courting" Re
marking in return that courtship among
| those amphibians seemed little pecu-
| liar, our ancient friend next volunteered
| to tell us all about it, and as we were
rather curious to know how they do it,
we consented to be informed. You
see," said he, as soon as female
reaches the top of the rock, the male
goes to meet her making meanwhile a
| noise like the clucking Of hen to her
chickens. He bows to her, and coaxes
! her, until he gets between her and the
water, SO that she cannot escape him.
Then his manner changes, and with a
harsh growl he drives her to place in
his harem. This continuee until the lowe
! row OF naremS is nearly full. Then the
males his her up select the time when
( their more fortunate neighbors are off
| their guard, to steal their wives. This
they do by taking them in their
mouths, and lifting them over the heads
of the other females, and carefully pIac-
ing them in their harems, CARRYING
them as cats do their kittens. Those
still higher up pursue the same method,
until the whole space is occupied.
Frequently a struggle ensues between
two males for the possession of the same
female, and, both Selling her at once,
pull her in two, Or terribly lacerate her
with their teeth. When the space is all
filled, the old male walks around, com
placently reviewing his family, scolding
those who crowd or disturb the others,
and fercely driving off all intruders.
This surveillance always keeps him
actively occupied"

The Difficulty Of Selling Bourbon Under

it was raining hard and he didn't want
to get wet.
Mr." Clerk Prownall, lend me an

IT is seriously proposed to introduce
a government monopoly of the sale Of
tobacco and cigars into Germany, it be-
ing estimated that the national treasury
would derive from such source an an
nual revenue of $106,600,OOO. 1t is
worth telling how France came to insti-
tute her present system. One evening
in November, 1910, a Court bali was
taking place in the Tuileries, and
among the company present was a lady
conspicuous. not only by reason of her
beauty, but also on account Of the
brilliancy and size Of the diamonds she
wore and the general richness of her
dress. The Emperor Napoleon struck
by her appearance, inquired who she
was. In reply he was told that she was
the wife of merchant who had made
an immense fortune by the sale of to-
bacco. "The business is a profitable
one them" remarked the Emperor, and
the result was that on the Goth of De-
cember, 1910, and the 18th Of January,
1911, DEGREES were issued securing to
the state the exclusive right of manu-
featuring and selling tobacco.

Strouder, colored man, has been in
dlcted, tried and convicted, and twice
sentenced to death in the courts of
West Virginia. The supreme court of
that state has affirmed the last sentence.
Application was made to the chief JUS
tice for writ of error to the state court,
on the ground that the law of the state
of West Virginia prohibiting colored
citizens from serving on juries in that
state is in violation of the constitution
and statutes of the United States. The
chief justice took the papers and the
records of the case in the state court,
and after consultation with the associ-
ate justices, awarded the writ of error.
