Lassoing a LiOness.

s. From Texas g. w. Palmer came to
colorado and began to hunt antelope
land deer for livelihood. He throws
1.-THE lasso with the accuracy of o rifle
imam. Up on Har6scramble mountain
IN few days ago he halted before half
icaten deer that had been killed by a
imountain lion. With a knowledge of
1.-THE beast and its habits, Palmer conclud-
led that there were a lioness and her cub
near by, and he determined to capture
lher, and, returning to his cabin, short
distance away, he procured several
iropes. Fully equipped, he proceeded
,cautiously, and finally discovered the
1oness with her cub beneath a project
iing rock.
1t was then that he motiOned to his
ison, who followed at his heels, to stop,
!: nd, instructing him to make his ap-
ipearance ut signal from him, he left
the path to mount the rocks that shell
jtered the beast. Reaching the summit,
Ilie uncoiled the rope from his arm and
prepared to make the battle. The sig
nal was given to the brave young fell
low who made his appearance Il short
distance from the lair. The beast WAS
iabout to leap forward, but the father
sent the loop over her head. There
was brief struggle in which the moose
was slipped, but in second more it
was secure upon the hind legs. The
end of the rope had been previously
thrown over the limb of tree whose
boughs spread around, and the contest
begun in earnest
After terrible struggle Palmer sue
.ceeded in suspending his prize in the
air, and fastening the rope securely, he
sprang from the rocks, and proceeded
10 tie the remainder of the limbs. Ac-
'complishing this, he thought it about
time to bag the cub, and reached down
to grasp it; but the little fellow turned
IS quick as cat upon his back and
fastened his claws in his throat. He
held on like leach. while the father,
who had found it impossible to extricate
himself shouted TO mis- son TO use a
club. This was Intellectual, however,
and throttling the infant lion with his
left hand. he pressed down with all his
might, and it was not until he had al
most killed the animal that the son was
enabled to release the claws from his
iatner's neck. Yesterday Mr.. Palmer
arrived in the city with both of the ami
mails, and Gagged them in Schloss's old
building. g.-Leadvilte Democrat.

Court circles in England are anxious
about the Queens health. Her disease
is thought to be one of the kidneys.
While this is difficult to reach by or

Their Ages.

Mrs Langtry is not sixty, even if she
does act like it.
The Princess of Wales was born De-
cember, 1914, and is, therefore, in her
nineteenth year.
Gail Hamilton, now in her twenty
third year, says the new comet of 1912
has not changed a bit.
Mary Anderson, the child phenome-
non, was born in Kentucky in 1871 or
1872, we forget which.
Ellen Terry owns up to several
children, one of whom will soon enter
college. Miss Terry was. seventeen
last birthday.
Miss Lydia Thompson, now in her
twenty-third year, is devoted to her
son, handsome and highly cultivated
young man of twenty-five.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton loves to talk
of her happy childhood. She re-
members distinctly when Grant was
made Lieutenant General of the United
States Army.
Mile. Aimee, the sprightly French
actress and singer, has very little
voice now, but her instructors predict
that it will develop finally after she has
got her growth.
The Davenport family mature early
and this probably accounts for the
belief that Miss Fannie Davenport is
twenty-five. She went on the stage
very young and is not yet out of her
teens.
Nine. Patti was born in this country
eighteen years ago in New York State.
She was first attracted by the power
of music at the opening concert
given by Miss Jennie Lind at the
Battery.
Miss Susan B. Anthony is rapidly
outgrowing the schoolgirl giggle,
which SO long clung to her and now is
becoming quite mature. She was two
years old when the first battle of Bull
Run was fought. -Phiiadelphta Call,

Cautious Mr.. Huntin StOn.

Huntington. the New York railway
magnate, is very cautious man." II
Wall street operator told me recently.
ale never gets left where prudence
will save him. For instance, not long
ago an acquaintance of mine who had
been having some transactions with
Huntington went into his office and at
tempted to carry a certain point by
persistently claiming that Mr.. Hunting
ton had said so and so during previ
Gus conversation.
my memory is very poor on such
things" said the magnatc.
mine is excellent; it is as fresh as if
it were yesterday" remarked my ac-
quaintance.
The fact is, my memory is so poor
/ dare not trust it, and | never dispute
my friends in whom have confidence, -
continued Mr.. Huntington.
Thank you, thank you; know am
right, know Iam!'' calculated my now
confident acquaintance, who was de-
lightfully thinking that by this little
stroke he would be a few thousands
better off than if he hadn't suspected
the railway mans defective memory.
Very likely you are right-very
likely" quietly said Mr.. Huntington.
'.But, William! William! bring your
book, turn to Jan. 4, 1888, and see
what it was l said to Mr.. W."
The stenographer stepped out from
behind his little screen, brought out his
little book, and my friends little game
was up.
''Your memory isn't as good as you
thought it was" said Huntington.
"William, perhaps you had better
write out what the gentleman has been
saying here to-day and read it to him
so he won't forget it"
AS Huntington grinned at this cruel
sarcasm, my discomfited friend sud.

gagement with his brother and FASTENED

An Arab Wedding,

Next day we continued our journey
to the Southwest, and toward evening
reached valley covering. perhaps a
dozen of acres well supplied with BUSH
ses. Here we halted. The women
took the stuff off the camels and had
the tents pitched in few moments, the
! frames for the skins erected, the cam
els were turned out to browse, and be-
fore quarter of an hour elapsed every
thing was so quiet and orderly around
that one might well have been excused
for supposing the camp had been in
that location for days or weeks.
There was some excitement about
our tents that evening. l noticed. The
women were huddled together in q
group and occasionally came to the en-
trance of the tent and looked in the di-
rection of the other tents pitched at
some distance from us. Abdalla and
his brothers were absent, and the boys
were asleep. About two hours after
sunset Abdalla and his brothers ap-
peared accompanied by two Arabs who
1 had not before seen, and an Arab
woman who was also stranger. The
woman went into the tent and the men
remained outside talking earnestly.
The youngest of the two strangers said
little, but the elder, fine looking ven-
erable Arab, spoke a great deal and
with much eloquence l thought, his
gestures being exceedingly graceful.
Abdalla at length called the women
out of the tent and they at once obey
ell. noticed that Fatima held Teroe
by the hand. The women now began
to gable while the men kept silence.
In short time the strange woman
took Teroe by the hand and led her
over to the young stranger. She
pushed Teroe toward him, and taking
the girls hand he led her away into
the darkness. The other strangers
then took their leave and our women
returned to their tent.
l asked Ben afterward where Teroe
had gone and he informed me that she
had just been married and had gone to
the tent of her husbands parents.
had witnessed a real Arab marriage.
There was no ceremony of any kind.
The parents and guardians OF the con-
tracing parties had arranged the mat
Ter among themselves after the BRIDE
groom had signified his desire to have
Teroe for his wife, Teroes wishes
were not consulted at all. She was
quite willing bride, nevertheless.
The next night the women had a gos-
sip feast among themselves in honor
of the event. That is to say number
of them came to our tent and sat and
gabbled half of the night and exhibited
their finery to each other in the light
of a LARGE fire

Queen Victoria's ParSimOn

The queen for nearly a quarter OF q
century has never occupied Bucking-
ham palace for more than six days in
each year. 1t cost an enormous amount
to build, and several thousands ale
yearly expended on its maintenance.
1t is sumptuously furnished in every
part and contains miles of fine pictures,
and there it stands year after year,
nobody ever entering it, except on four
afternoons, when drawing-rooms are
held, and on four evenings, when the
state balls or concerts are given. 1t
ought either to be understood that this
palace should be open to royal visitors
of high rank, or it should be converted
into hospital or museum. The vast
sum which the queen receives every
year from the country is not given 10
be boarded up, but is intended to main-
tain the state and dignity OF the crown
The English court has gradually ac-
quired a. most unpleasant reputation
abroad for extreme parsimony, and one
would think that instead of the civil
list charges amounting TO over E4OO,-
600 year. the queen was only in re-
ceipt of tenth of that amount.
So far as expense goes, it saves a
royal visitor little or nothing to be Il
guest at ''the palace" The tips which
are given are enormous. When the
Emperor Nicholas passed Ascot week
at Windsor castle in 1874 he left f3, 900
for the servants, and gave twelve gold
and diamond snuff-boXcs to the lords
and gentlemen of the household. In
1855 the Emperor Napoleon gave H.
500 to the Windsor servants, and last
year the king of the Netherlands ex-
pended FL, 900 in the same way. In
fact, | believe the lord steward keeps a
regular tariff of what is expected, the
amount varying according to the rank
of the guest, and this is formally pre-
sentcd to the principal parsonage in
attendance upon him. L)nd0D Truth.
