WHAT ANIMALS HAVE DONE.
I~ntesesting Anecdotes and Facts of
the Animals Kingdom.
A MOUNTAIN LION IN A TENT
An Acrobatic Fish-Two Wee Pigs
That Could Swim -Nanquished
by Il Dog-Lots of
Buffalo IN Montana.
A MOUNTAIN LION IN A TENT
A Mountain Lion i'm a Tent.

Harper's Young People: In Color
ado and some other western states there
is an animal called the mountain lion.
Notwithstanding his nam he is really
the cougar, sometimes called Duma Oh
panther. There is no more crafty or
savage beast in the United States, and
although he rarely attacks men,, except
when wounded or very hungry, he de-
stroys many sheep and other domestic
animals. He prowls about human
dwellings and climbs to the roofs OF
cabins and small houses in his efforts to
get Mt the food inside, of which the
smell attracts HIM.
Two prospectors in Colorado killed q
deer one day, and carried the carcass
into their tent, where they hung it on
the ridge pole. They thought the VEN
isOn would be safe there, as they feared
no enemies larger than flies and birds.
On going to work the men drew down
the tent curtains and tied them close.
About w hours later n mountain lion
came along, and smelling venison, pro-
ceeded to am the tent. He bit n
sample out of the deer, and finding it
good, decided to take the whole piece.
1t did not come down easily. so Mr..
Lion spraug up and grabbed it. His
whole weight thus added to that OF the
deer meat was too much for the ridge
pole, and it broke in two. The tent
| collapsed and the lion was buried in
canvass. OF course he thought himself
caught in IL trap, and began laying
about him in every direction with both
teeth and nails. This animated action
soon reduced the tent to t%atters, and
the lion crawled out of the wreck and
ran away, taking the v~enison along.
That afternoon two of the angriest men
you can imagine stood looking at the
ruined tent, and wondering if there
had been an earthquake. Their ven
ison was gone, their outfit scattered
over the ground and their tent in rib
bons. When they killed another deer
they hung it in a ave. and closed VI
the caves mouth with rocks.

Two Wee Pigs That Could Swim,

Harper's Young People; One bright
summer morning as l was strolling
toward the beach on the Island of Mack
mac / saw, a short distance ahead of
me, two little pigs, one perfectly white
and the other perfectly black. both the
same size, trudging along side by side
in the same direction as myself.
They seemed out of place, and l was
so curious to know whittier they were
bound, that | followed them unobserved.
They did not walk aimlessly. but as if
they had some special object in view,
and some definite destination.
/ wondered what they would do when
they reached the water. l was not
long in being answered. Without a
moments hesitation they plunged into
the waves side by side, and swan out
and away toward another island, six
miles distant. l stood and watched
them until their two little heads looked
like balls bobbing up and down, side by
side all the time.
When | related the incident to the
landlord, II little later, he looked as
tonishcd and annoyed.
"Thosc pigs" he said, ''were to have
been served up for dinner to-day.
They were brought hero this morning
in q boat from that island, six miles
away, and we thought VIC might allow
them their freedom, never thinking of
their making an attempt to go home.
"And did you notice" he continued,
''they chose the point of land nearest
the land where they came from, to en-
ter the water? Singular that the little
animals should have been so bright
And, furthermore, they weren't landed
there; that makes it more strange
/, too, left the island that day, and l
have never heard whether those brave
little pigs cver reached their destina-
i tiOn or not

An Fish.

Globe-Democrat: It is not unusual
when near u body of water to see fish
clear the surface in a jump for flies. The
following, however, told by a gentle
man of St. Louis claiming to have been
an eyewitness, rather beats the record
of long leaps by the iinny tribe: Early
one morning in autumn the narrator,
Their in the country, went to the shores
of a little lake to try his luck with n
line. Coming to IL tree o~verhanging
the water, his attention was called to
two yong birds at the cnd of one of the
lowest limbs. 1t looked as though it
was the first time they had e out OF
the nest, as the mother bird was hover
ing restlessly about them. They made
no attempt to fly, but kept edging along
the branch until at the very tip, when
the water reflected every movement
distinctly. Suddenly q glistening pike
darted up out of the bosom of the III Ike,
snatched one of the little feathered fell
lows. and fell back into the water with
it in his mouth.
1t seemed incredible, and the observ-
err could hardly believe his own eyes.
One of the young birds was gone, that
was unquestionable, and the old one
was sounding its notes of alarm. The
ripples IN the water had hardly gone
down when with u whisk of his tail up
came the pike again and carried away
the second youngster, falling back into
his native element with a loud splash.
In both instances the fish had gone owe
the branch, q distance apparently OF
fully three feet from the water.

Notes.

Two robins built their nest in a lilac
bush and began housekeeping. A cat
killed Mrs. Robin just after she had be-
gun sitting on her four blue eggs. Her
mate at once wen on the nest and kept
the eggs warm, but he made frequent
excursions way from home, always be-
ing careful, however, not to let the eggs
get cold. The result of these visits was
soon made evident, for one day he re-
turned with Mrs. Robin No. 2, who at
once took the place of the dear de-
parted, Matched the eggs and proved to
be al excellent stepmother.
Thomas Jones, of Fishkill, N. Y, has
n dog that shows n wonderful attach
ment for a little chichen. The chick
was motherless, and, fortunately for it.,
the DOG adopted it,. The chicken fol-
lows the dog and the dog follows the
chicken, and if it gets too far from its
parental home the dog will pick it up in
its mouth and carry it back tenderly.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Patterson, of
Kingston, Ont, were saved foom a hor-
rible fate by a cat. Their house burned
to the ground, and they would have
persisted in the flames had not the cat
jumped on the bed, and awakened
them by scratching at the clothes.
DR.. Downes, of Lakeport, Cal, had a
pet deer to which he was very much
attached. Last fall it ran away to the
mountains, and that was the last he
saw of it until the spring, when one
day it appeared in the door yard, and,
walking straight to the doctor, laid its
head on his arm and seemed greatly
pleased, as was the doctor. 1t hung
| around him in rather an unusual way,
and finally disappeared, The next day
it came again, and acted as though it
wanted the doctor to follow it, and he
did SO. The deer led him some dis
lance frors the house directly to a little
faTn which lay hidden in the bushes .
, The doctor took the little thing in his
arms and carried it home, the mother
following and showing Enthusiastically
that this was what she wanted.

New York Sun: r. r. Budd, of
Carthage, is the owner of Il mare Thai
has a we'll developed snake four or five
inches long in one of her eyes. The
snake is about Us large round as a horse
hair. and very active. 1t is held in Il
transparent sac which covers nearly the

a farmer in the town of Rutland has
n dog that carries the mail for hi m
regularly. The farmers house stands
nearly u quarter of a mile from the main
road, along which the mail stage rolls
every afternoon. The driver brings
the daily papers from the postoffice and
throws them off at the cross roads
where he always finds the dog waiting
for them. The dog has not missed q
mail for three months, and during that
time has not been reminded Of his duty
more than half II dozen times. He
seems to know the right time and does
not waste his time lettering at the cor
n0rs.
A. d. Johnston, of the Walton house.
Clayton, has a dog that will catch a ball
with all the eXpertneSs of a league
pla yer. His owner keeps n soft rubber
ball for him. If the dog misses the ball
at first he never fails to catch it on the
first bound.
Charles Bradshaw, q barber, was until
a few days ago the owner of n remarka-
bly, precocious spaniel. The animal had
been taught so that on the call of next

back on the rest" close his eyes and
calmly submit to having his muzzlc
we'll lathered and wiped OFF. After this
he would jump down with the livelicst
manifestations of JOY and satisf action.
A Kingston man paid $50 for him.
Cats as a general thing do not like
water, even though they are good swim
mers. A man in Clayton has a large
Maltese that is an exception. This ami
NAL takes to water even more kindly
than a spaniel. He will go into the
water on his account, and seems tC
enjoy it hugely. Like a dog he will
bring back a stick thrown in the water,

Horse ~Sagacity.

A remarkable illustration Of the
sagacity of the horse reaches the Biz

Road, Edgbaston. "A man named Gill
hey, n coal dealer and hauler, rents a
field there, in which a horse and goat
have been in the habit of grazing. Re-
Gently a gang of young roughs from the
Ickncid Port road awe amused them
selves by throwing stones at the goat,
and some Of the more cowardly Of the
~rutfians beat it with a stick. Whenever
the goat has been attacked in this way
the horse has always raced to its rescue,
and a few days ago he seized one young
rascal by the coat collar and flung him
clean over the hedge into the road.

The Cartridge Found.

GALEsBURG, July 17.-United States
Marshal Marsh, and two deputies,
brought informer Bowles here this
morning, to test the truth of his story,
that a dynamite cartridge had been
placed on the Burlington track north
west of here, and subsequently in
consequence of fear of the results, has
been concealed in a hedge near by.
The officers and railroad officials, and
number of municipal officers and
citizens, went to the spot that Bowles
indicated, and after considerable dig
ging around, found dynamite cart
ridge, its of the Hercules kind, and has
caps at both ends. Its now in the
hands of the railroad officials. The
sheriff and other officers, then went
to the home of George Clarke, one of
the leading brotherhood engineers,
and put him under arrest, on state
warrant, Clarke made::no resistance,
and would say nothing save to assert
his innocence.

Wise and Rational Arthur,

CHICAGO, July 17.-Chief Arthur
this morning said in the course of con-

any violence whatever on the part of
the members of the Brotherhood
against the Burlington road. Con-
tfnuing, he remarked, II am very
sorry to think that any MEM
Der of our order has done an
overtact. I don't know as yet whether
the strike will be declared off or not. {"
Arthur subsequently said that if it
was proven that any member of the
Brotherhood had used violent means
to gain the ends desired, that that
man would be summarily expelled
from the order.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Speaking to a

hood, General Freight Agent Morton
said, that while the railroad people
are DESTROYS that the strike should be
declared off by the Brotherhood, yet
they have no intention of compromis-
ing any of the pending criminal suits,
nor could they if they would. On the
contrary, another man will be ar
rested at Galesburg today, the last
one against whom the company has
strong evidence. GAN the company
will do if the strike is declared off"
said Morton, ''is to take back all the
Brotherhood men it consistently can,
men who have taken no violent part
in the troubles. There is probably
room for l 500. There will soon be an
other conference at which a final
agreement may be reached"

A Fiendish Design Frustrated.

OMAHA, July 17.-One night last
week train on the Burlington and
Missouri was derailed at Gibson, by
obstruction upon the track. While
assisting in the work of putting the
cars on the track, a Waterman claims
he saw a man light something with a
cigar, and swiftly disappear. Hasten
ing to the spot, the Waterman found a
fuze burning, and by prompt action
extinguished it. 1t was then discov-
cred that the fuze was attached to a
der. The bomb, if it may be called
such, was taken in charge by the
Waterman, and turned over to the Of
ficials of the company. 1t is reported
the man who committed the act is
we'll known, and will be arrested
shortly.
