A Gander Pulling.

At 10 A. NJ, very respectable COM

some one suggested that the days

fashioned 'gauder pulling Every one
has doubtless read IN Georgia Scenes
OF the manner in which the first set.
Tiers Of Georgia amused themselves in
this rather bar5arous sport, and at this
lime but few Of the Oldest inhabitants

pulling. An ancient gauder was pro.

across Oak street, just below the News

together and swung on the rope in the

tics began and carried on the gander
pulling with tbeir horses at full speed.
For some time the gander managed to
dodge the grasp OF the riders, but oc-
casion all, one would give him a pull,
until 6nally one got a good grip on him
aud broke the gander's neck. In a
t,w more rounds Mr.. II. came off vic

Stranger than Fiction.

The following story has come 10 the
notice of the Bangor On } Commercial
and it we'll illustfates the oft repeated
saying that truth is Stranger than fc-
ton.
Some years before the late war Oils
Burton, former resident Of Bangor,
left here 10 seek hi4 fortune in the
West. He dritted to Missouri, where
he met an accomplished young lady.
with whom he fell in love. She was
pleased with him. but before he made
oils passion known she moved to dis
Lant part Of the South. About this
lime the war broke out aud the two
soon lost all traces of each other. Bur-
ton joined the Uuion army, and was
soon afterward wounded, and as it was
supposed be would die letter wa
sent to his mother informing her that
her SOD could not live. He, however,
was blessed with a good constitution
and recovered. He went back TO hi,
regiment and was detailed with Conn
panY to take supplies across The plains.
The party was attacked by Indians
aud every man 10 the force except
Burton killed. He was reported 10
have been slain with the rest. The
Indians decided to let him live and
took him a prisoner to their retreat in
the mountains Of the Southwest. He
gradually recovered from wounds be
had received in The encounter, made
himself agreeable 10 his captors aud
adapted himself to their wavs of living.
After he had been in captivity six
months or more be was allowed more
liberty, ard now began to watch for
chance to escape. The Indians bad
stolen a number of poales. and among
these was one which Burlon's prac cliced
eve showed him was highly bred, swift
and gifted with speed and endurance.
This poney was cared tor and peited by
Burton, and be was allowed to ride
him. One day he sLrayed away further
than usual, aud though not acquainted
with tue country made a dash for
liberty. He was closely pursued, but
the gallant little pony hah the bottom
for winning race. He rode for three
days, and then began to see that he
was getting out of the hostile country.
In the distance he saw a house which
he knew must be inhabited by whites.
He shouted with JOY, feeling that he
had gained freedom al last. He
Knocked at the door of the house and
surprise awaited him. 1t was opened
by the w0mas he had loved in lang
syne. He was at once recognized and
received a hearty welcome. Burton
told his adventures and narrow escapes
to a willing listener. She, too, told her
story. She had married Confederate
officer who was afterward killed in
battle, and she now owaed the fatn
she occupied. Is it necessary TO tell
the rest? They were betrothed, there
was a merry wedding, aud the happy
couple ale still living 10 a Southwest
State. Surely in real life are romances
as strange and more interesting than
those weaved by the fertile brain Of the
novelist.

|. Lion.Tamer's Experience.

w UlIt Will lApDih9NA -
Mr.. Neylan, the celebrated lion-tamer'
I became acquainted with Bill Rev.
nolds, the well.kno~n hon performer
and became a fast favorte with him.
He was sick quite ofton, which made II
necessary TO withdraw that feature OF
the entertainment.
L was in the habit Of playing with
the lions outside the cage, aud one day
asked the keeper who had charge OF
the cage II he would let me go inside.
He laughed at me. and said that
would be glad to come out mighty
quick. looked about for cowhide,
and being unable to find one, selzeu
upon a broom handle, and started in.
There we're three animal, together in
The cage, the famous hon Old Prince,
be pet lioness Jennie, and a beautiful
tiger. | was abont sixteen years OF
age at he time, and very strorg.
The moment | entered, the animals
regarded me as an intruder, and Old
Prince began to look warlike. l bea;
him vigorously with the broom handle.
aud before left the cage he was hum
bly, submissive, and, with the other
animals, would promptly DO my bid
ding. l told The manager that had
found man 10 take Reynolds place,
and would produce hln that night.
Evening came, the cage was drawn
into the ring, aud at the appointed
time 1 appeared, greatly TO the sur
prise and bewilderment of tho man
ager. As I started toward the cage he
shouted:
Come away; you'll be eaten up
But | went on with the performance,
and the animals behaved beautifully.
At another time Robinson bad young
lion, three years Of age, Of great
strength aud lerocious disposition. l
determined to tame him, and selecting
an empty cage with Two partitions. l
had it drawn into the woods one bright
day. There bad terrible
encounter with him for three
hours. The enraged beast refused tc
obey the lash, and it became necessary
10 use hot irons instead OF a raw hide.
After he had been subdued l petted
him for time, furnished him with a
good meal, and we became the best OF
friends. At The close OF the encounter
| was almost entirely stripped Of cloth
me.'
The best time TO begin to break
llOns,' continued Mr.. NeYlan, 'is when
they are cubs eight or ten months old.
My pratice was to devote an hour a
day in The training, always exercising
them on empty stomachs, and feeding
them Immediately afterward. II the
animal is gen,le aud submissive, be
should be treated kindly : but If he Is
inclined to be stubborn AMI ugly, then
YOU must obtain the mastery by a.
vigorous Use oil the cowhlde. They are
inclined to be treacherOus even when
most irolicsome and gentle, aud it Can
be shown that the majority Of lion per-
formers who have been killed have
allowed their pets too much liberty.
The place to use the cowhide is over
the face aud eyes, to blind and con-
luse them. 1t must not be thought for
an instant that one can look them
steadily in the eve and thus disarm
them. The lion dees become some
hat blinded by steady gaze. but the
moment he lowers his head and gives
II an ominous shake then look for
danger, and the more promptly the
lash is applied the better.
