We drew the cage to the village and gave
the beast food and water. He readily &C.
cepted both, and his conduct was as humble
as we could desire. He was biding his time,
however. On the third day he infinitely ex-
amined the construction of the cage and
tested every bar. He did this when he
thought he was unobserved. On the. fifth day
he began to snarl and grCwl and show his
temper, and on the sixth we started off with
him, the cage being dragged by twelve ma

when we stopped for rest and bite to eat.

She went Tobogganing.

Silver Creek Gulch, near the Jo
Reynolds mine, is vast sheet OF
ice, caused by the overfowing Of a
spring, and if it wasn't for abrupt
stopping would make an excellent
Mill tor coasting.
On Tuesday, when old Boreas was
making music in the tree-tops, a
young lady whose front name is
Nellie went to the spring for water.
Just as she was leaning over to fill a
bucket, one of those ninety-mle an
hour gusts inflated her skirts and in
a jifty she was tobogganing down
the icefeld before stiff breeze,
with all sails set, arms outstretched
and in each hand a bucket, that
served the double purpose of ballast
and mizzen spanker. After rough
voyage of several hundred yards the
beautiful craft ran ashore on the 10
Reynolds dump, somewhat the
worse in rigging for her impromptu
experience at tobogganing without a
toboggan.

ticularize the damages, so we leave
