Short savage roags broke upon my car,
mingled aith the wild shouts of the ma
tiyes. who were evidently being chased
bv the now furious beast. At this crisis l
felt that nv hat would probably do more
for me than my gun, 50 crushed the
former on to my head, and, without wait

latter in my hands and faced the enemy

the animal shifting for my throat.
Mechanically, l always turned my

was useless with the animal closely en-
bracing me, so stood perfectly still, well
knowing that Stamford would liberate
me if it were possible TO do so. At the
first onslaught we were 50 placed that he
could only have hit the panther by firing
through me, which would have been
very injudieious, to say the least of it.
As may naturally be supposed, the ami
NAL did not spend much time in investi-
eating the nature of wadded hat-cover,

and take an aim without jeopardizing
my own life, the beast pounced on my

buried its long, sharp fangs in the joint

one Of the interesting things said TO be
contained in the collection of autographs
left by the late W. w Corcoran is a
note of Rufus Choate's indorsed by Dam
iel Webster. Mr. Choate wanted 5000,
and applied to Webster for it. Webster
said, " Draw your note; III sign il and
bring You the money" Then, while
Choate was making out the note, a new
idea seemed to occur 10 Webster, and he
said, while you are about it, Choate,
make il a thousand, I'll take the other
iiye hundred myself" So the note was
drawn for 81 900. Webster took his cane
and walking to Corcoran 4 Riggs bank
ing house entered and saluted Dir. Cprco-
ran responded, what can | DO for you
this morning." "a little favor for my
friend Uhoate, said Webster. He then
produced the note, and Mr.. Corcoran
readily agreed TO cash it. Webster had
the gold laid out in two equal parts, and
putting the parts into separate pockets
returned to Mr.. Choate to devide the
proceeds of this successful financial oper-
alton.

Life in Libby.

From the story of the celebrated es-
cape from Libby in the March Century
we quote the following
At night the six large lofts presented
strange war pictures, over which single
tallow candle wept copious and greasy
tears that ran down over the petriiied
loaf of corn bread, Borden's condensed
milk car, or bottle in which it was set,
and where it struggled on until "taps,"
when the guards, with unconscious irony
shouted, =" Lights" at which signal it
usually disappeared amid shower of
boots and such other missiles as were at
hand. The sleepers covered the six floors
lying in ranks, head to head and foot to
foot, like PROSTATE Lines of battle For
the general good, and to.preserve some
thing like military precision, these ranks
especially when cold weather compelled
them TO lie close for better warmth) were
subdiyided into convenient squads under
charge of captain" who was invested
with authority to see that every man lay
spoon fashion
No consideration of personal convent
ence was permitted to interfere with the
general comfort of the squad. Thus,
when the floor could be no longer endur-
ed on the right side, Especially by thin
men,-the captain gave the command,
Attention, Squad Number Four! Pre-
pare to spoon spoonl" And
the whole squad florpcd over on the left
side.

Don't

Let that cold of yours run on. You think
it is light thing. But it may run into
catarrh. Or into pneumonia. Or con-
sumption.
Caiarrh is disgusting. Pneumonia is
dangerous Consumption is death itself.
The breathing apparatus must be kept
healthy and clear of all distractions and
offensive matter. Otherwise there is
trouble ahead.
All the diseases Of these parts, head,
nose. throat. bronchial tubes and lungs,
can be delightfully."- and entirely cured by
the use Of Boschee's German Syrup. If

The Pain-Giving Pin.


Someb.,dy has had the n.sral teur-aee
to pitch la, as small boy does in a
fight. Il, the seam Sc xe.i i,y women oh,
blessed pitcher-in Oh, most truthful of
writer's Why can't woman sew a
seam SO it will last? And why is il that
a man can? The material Of your gown
will tear before he.Eman-sewed seams
will rip, while the seam will rip If given
a severe glance when joined together by
the tender hand:of woman. Woman is
not productive Of morality; | mean in
the way she makes clothes. Now, just
imagine tailor concluding tiIatia mans
trousers would set. bctter.if he pinned
them in enc or two places Yet this.lis
conclusion not only frequently reached,
bat acted upon, by the courteous modiste.
One grows to know to ones sorrow that
pins can be put where needle and thread
will not reach and one grows to wish
that it would be allowed to get up as the
spirit moves one and the pin touches
one, and in audible language give ones
opinion of pinned skirts. One would
represent half the women at the theater.
The cruel pin enters her very-soul, and
she camplains of pain in her heart, of
a curious feeling about her head and of
sense of oppression, anything that will
make the unpinned youth with her take
her out in the fresh air so that she may
stand up.
Naturally, the amount of temper and
the wicked desire for revenge brought
about by the inhuman behavior of the
pin makes her long to kill the dressmak-
er, and so YOU see more of the immorali-
ty Of frocks. It's all very well TO talk
about the pin being predestined to act
that way, but it would have been much
wiser if the dressmaker had not been
believer in predestination, had east aside
the pin and sewed, glued or pasted to-
getler with postage stamps the part of
ones skirt that is SO reckless, even if so
gracefully, caught together with pins. ]
suppose the reason why women are cred
tied with getting pin money is because
it's sharper than serpent's tooth and
sticks in the pocket of the man who
ought TO give it gladly.

Leland Stanford, the millionaire Sena-

asked what were the pleasures conferred
by wealth. 1T is pleasant to be rich,"
be frankly said to feel that YOU are be-
yond the reach of want and can actually
do something to relieve the wants Of
others when you are certain of the ease;
but the advantages of wealth are greatly
overestimated, | do not clearly see that
man who can buy anything that he
faneies is any better off than man who
can buy what he actually needs. There
are some positive disadvantages. In the
first place, the life he was compelled to
lead in order to accumulate wealth has
probably prevented that cultivation of
taste for art, music and letters which is
essential to the highest enjoyment; and,
in the second place, his life is an inces-
SAINT struggle to keep what he has got
and to fight off the competitors who are
clutehing for it. Probably the average
man worth 100000 enjoys life just as
much as the millionaire for my wife and

Where Will Nihilism Fndf

The question that is always uppermost
in the minds of whoever studies the poit-
ical conditions in Russia is, Where
will the revolutionary movement end?"
asked it of every man talked with. The
answers We're various. But most of them
seemed to think that Russia would follow
in the footsteps Of France. Their theory
was that sooner or later the great empire
would become involved in a disastrous
foreign war, with Germany, or Austria,
or England, or all three, perhaps, for
Russia S only allies in Europe today are
France and little Denmark That the
invasion of the country and the destruc-
ton of the army would give the large
liberal element chance to rise, and that
it would be assisted and protected by
foreign powers, for the existence Of this
mighty, aggressive despotism is not only
a menace to the rest of Europe, but an
impossible barrier to civilization. That
Poland would be ultimately restored to
independence under the protection of
Germany and Austria, and Germanized,
and that liberal government, or at most
limited monarchy, would succeed the
despotism at Petersburg. Some think a
republic will rise upon the ruins of the
empire; that revolution, with COM
mune, will follow the defeat of the cars
armies; that the palaces will be stripped
of their riches as they were in France,
and reign of anarchy will be succeeded
by a democratic government of the
people. William Eleroy Curtis.
