peril or their situation. The Jog reniaIne0
cowed and silent.
Morning at length came and Teb, arm
ing himself with the ax, went out to view
his imprisoned foe He found, as he ex-
pected, large panther clinging to the side
of the house, the logs of which were
SCARED by its claws in futile efforts to
release itself.
1t was still furious, though much
wearied, and its eyes were aglare with
yellowish fame. He dared not approach
close enough 20 use the ak, SO ferocious
was its aspect, and so violent its lunges at
the sight Of him.
Taking Mag and the dogs they all
trudged through the snow some two miles
to old man Terry's cabin. He was absent,
but a long mountain rife hung over the
door. Loading it carefully, Teb started
back alone, and on arriving found his
panther still there. He rested his gun on
the garden palings, sighted carefully and
fred at it's head. 1t lunged fearfully,
emitting a fierce scream, but so nervous
was the young man that two more shots
were required to kill it.
When his mother arrived an hour later,
Teb was quietly skinning his victim, while
the bloody spindle, with the battered head
post attached, was conspicuously stuck in
the outside wall over his head. After one
comprehensive glance around, this impor-
tant adjunct TO her much valued spinning
wheel met her eye, and her first words
were characteristic of the petty solicitudes
and contempt CT danger which the poverty
and isolation of a mountain life encour-
ages, even in women.
Good Lord! What hev We been dom,
Teb, ter that breach and spindle? Eff hit
wern't fur thet thar painter ez mout hev
ketched the roam heifer ez we'uns drove
down the gap, I'd jest nachilly var We
plum out fur pesterin' of that thar wheel
at all. "
"And, gentlemen" quoth Old Teb, eye
ing affectionately the well worn hide on
which his offspring still rolled, ''she wur
a woman eZ meant jest what she said.
She'd hev put the wood onto me shore eff
/ hedn't he'd that thar painter ter show
fer what I'd done. She shorely would''
And he shook his head ruminatively.-

Caused by the Nose.

At the last congress of German natural
lists and physicians, held in Wiesbaden,
DR.. Gacy reported several cases of mental
disturbance characterized by an impoSsi-
biIity of fixing the attention on any sub
lect, except for very brief period, or of
prolonged mental effort of any kind what
ever. The author claims that this is due
TO nasal catarrh and obstruction TO the
passage of air through the nose. and calls
the disease aproxia- This is the latest &C
cuSauon which has been brought against
the sinful nose. Headache, cough, dysp-
nOea, earache. neuralgia, hay fever, acne,
commissions and syncope are only few
of the many evils which this troublesome
organ is accused of having inflicted upon
long suffering man. For much less cause
physicians extirpate other organs, and
there is reason to fear that the profession
Is getting ready to cut off our noses as the
source of many OF our ills.-Chicago News.
another thing which has affected the

scarcity Of certain kinds Of wild animals,

My lady's eyesl their lovely hue
Excels in grace the arching blue.
So winsome is their witchery
One glance can make all sorrow fee,
Nor is it night when they are by
How thick soccer the shadows lie:
Then let the skies forswear their light
Two stars are mine divinely bright.
My lady's mouth what music slips
Like birds unseen across her lips;
Not Maytide songs deceitful clear
But lays that lit throughout the year,
And fall like balm upon the brain,
Bcguiling every heart of pain;
And ring as sweetly DER the snow
As when the dimpled daisies blow.
My lady's locksl they are snare
To mesh the sunbeanls unaware,
All, happy beams glad captives they
That leap and laugh the liyelong day;
When all is loosed and naught Restraints
They linger still 70 kiss their chains;
And who would leave 50 fair a home
Across the weary world 70 roam!

TIE CITY GAS WORKS.
Bids for their Purchase or Lease to be
Recommended.

A to'nt meeting OF the two Council
Committees on Finance and Light was
held In the Chancery Court. room yester.
day evening at @ o'clock. The object Of
this meeting was TO consider proposition
to huv or lease the Gas Works.
The sub committee at their meeting
Wednesday night, as stated in Thursday's 5
TIMES, unanimously decided on recon-
mending TO the full committee favorable
consideration OF the proposition.
The proposition TO buy out or lease the
Gas Works WAS made by Messrs. Isaac
Davenport, Charles L. WORKMAN. Charles
p. Stokes, and w II. Scott.
This proposition was made with the
expectancy that the committee would
consider il, and, II any action was taken
at all, it would be either 10 reject 1t or to
favorably recommend IT,
Colloqual discussion revealed the fact
that a recommendation 10 the two
branches OF the City Council would re-
suit in defeat OF the proposition,
because no chance had been given com
pe,ilors. so Mr.. WORKMAN asked per-
mission to with lraw his proposition,
which was allowed him.
The Joint Committee then decided to
recommend to the Council the adoption
of resolution authorizing the Joint
Committees Of Finance and Light TO
advertise for bids for the purchase OF
or lease Of the City Gas Works.
