A Narrow Escape.

A Bombay shikaree narrates how he
once actually fell into the claws of
nanther. and lived to tell the tale. At
ter describing the incidents of the hunt
M TO the time when the beast broke
cover, he says:
81 had to wait until the panther was
within few feet of me, and l then put
nv rifle down to his head, expecting to
roll him over like rabbit Gas | had
succeeded in doing on other occasions),
and then place my second bullet pretty
much where l pleased. To my horror,
there was no report when the hammer
fell. The next moment the panther,
with an angry roar, sprang upon me.
Hanoinp on with the claws of one fore
paw driven into my right shoulder and
the other round me, he tried to get at
nv head and neck, but | fortunately
prevented this by raising my left arm,
which he instantly seized in his huge
mouth. l shall never forget his sharp,
angry roar, the wicked look OF his
greeIish yellow eyes within six inches
of mine, the turned-back ears. his fetid
breath upon my cheek, and the feeling
of his huge fangs closing to the bone
through my arm above the elbow.
81 endeavored, by giving him my
knee in the stomach, to make him let
90. Those who have ever kicked cat
can imagine what little effect this had.
1t was more like using ones knee to o
football than anything else. The pan
Their, with roar, gave tremendous
wrench to my arm, hurled me some
five PAGES down the side of the hill
prone on my face, bringing my head in
contact with tree. Stunned and in
sensible, l lay some seconds on the
ground, and the brute, thinking me
dead, fortunately did not worry me,
but, passing over me, went for the re-
treating police constable who bad
brought me into the difficulty. re-
member, when I came to, raising my
head from the ground, leaning my head
against the tree, and smiling with a
certain feeling of grim satisfaction,
when my eyes caught the retreating
form of the constable and the pursuing
panther down the hill, and l thought
the policeman's turn had come.
1.-The civil surgeon of the station
probed the teeth-wounds in the arm,
and found that the one at the back OF
the arm ran right to the bone and was
an inch and half deep. The two
| wounds on the inner side, in or close to
| the biceps, were, one an inch and a
quarter and the other an inch deep.
The claw-wounds on the right shoulder
were not serious, and had fortunately
Just missed the large artery near the
collar-bone, injury to which would have
| resulted in my bleeding to death in q
very few minutes. "-1he Times o.

While visiting the state capitol re-
Gently, we think we discovered few
unmistakable symptoms ofdemagogy.
There are those, especially among the
granger members of both House and
Senate, who are desircus Of appearing
to be rather than to be; men who will
introduce cumbersome bills, have
them printed and sent out among
their constituents, not for the pur-
pose OF accomplishing any desired re-
suits in legislation, but to make those
who voted for them think they are
doing something" Such sham
work should be stopped and all who
are engaged in it be "shown up"
Let all unite upon some simple, sensi-
BILE. and effective measure for the cor
rection ofexisting monopolistic abuses

fitted by such wise action, will unite

1t is a matter Of regret to our "worthy
village marshal" that the law protects
a certain species of pigmy CANNES by
virtue of limited supply of legs,
whose hides, at present worthless,
would by reason of their texture and
the fienness and gorgeous hue of the
hair growing upon their innocent
noodles make robes of such such value
and beauty as to do away entirely
with the compulsion recommended by
the valiant editor of the Norris Sun.

For number OF years the Millers
Association of Minneapolis has prom
ised to make marked difference In
prico in favor of the hard varieties OF
wheat. They have not in all cases
made their promises good, and for
this reason number of papers are ad-
yising farmers to raise soft wheat.
We believe these papers are making
a mistake. The Minneapolis Millers
are not the only buyers In the world
and if they do not pay what hard
wheat is worth there are others who
will. But even if the market should
be in the hands of q single monopoly,
we can see nothing to be gained by
raising All inferior grade orgrain. 1t

A Queer Verdict.

The lawyers regard o verdict as agood
deal of toss-up. The following incident
from the New York EUening Post illus
trates the uncertainty Of this species Of
lottery:
"a striking illustration Of the alb
surdity Of leaving to jury the final de-
termination Of Htigated questions Of fact
is furnished by recently decided case
in this city. Suit was brought against
an insurance company TO recover insur-
ance upon q cargo Of merchandise
which was said to have been lost at sea.
The company claimed that the merchan-
disc In question had never been put
upon the vessel. and supported It's claim
with such conclusive evidence that when
the jury retired and the counsel for the
defense held "a informal conversation
with the counsel for the plaintiff, the
latter frankly admitted that his client
had lost his case. BE said that up to
the point where q certain unexpected
witness had been produced by the de-
Tense, he firmly believed that his client
had good case, but after that point he
had no doubt whatever that the cargo
in question had never been shipped.
Whereupon the counsel Of the insurance
company said, in words something like
the following: "Well, is not this an ex-
traordinary situationa Here we are,
the opposing counsel, fully agreed about
the case. and prepared to settle 1t with
ont further parIey, yet we must sit here
and wait for twelve men to make guess
upon II. !" After q delay Of two hours
the twelve men came into the court
room, and the outcome Of their guess
was 3 unanimous verdict against the In
surance company.

ssOut IN Portland. Oregon, where dis
tancea are 90 deceitful. very amusing
incident occurred last summer among s
party Of friends with whom / was
travelling. II happened that one Of our
number was troubled somewhat By In
somnia, 30 much 50 that he arose one
bright morning Just as the day was be-
ginning to dawn, dressed, went to the
Office and inquired Of the clerk al what
time the matutinal repass began. Being
told that seven o'clock was The earliest
hour, he walked to the piazza, looked
around for few minutes, returned, and
inquired what mountain that was in the
distance. Upon being told that it was
Mt Hood, he said 10 the clerk: IF any
Of our party inquiries for me, say that I
am going to take . run over there to get
mp an appetizer; viii be back in time
for breakfast r Now Mt. Hood is some
twenty Or thirty miles from Portland,
but has the appearance Of being not over
two or three. As the hour for breakfast
approached our party began counting
up it's numbers, but Mr.. A-was mo-
where to be found.
Inquiry was at once instituted as to
what might have become of him, when
IL was ascertained from the clerk that he
had gone to Mt. Hood for morning
walk, and, with . merry twinkle in his
eye, he added he might not be back
In time for the first breakfast; conse-
quently we took our breakfast minus
the absent Mr.. A., and Immediately
after took carriages for drive to Mt
Hood, If possible to overtake the prodi-
gal Finally, after riding an hour or two,
we came to aIlittle brook, and there, sure
enough, was Mr.. A. divesting himself
Of all hts clothing. When asked what he
