Tho new teacher in some rural dis
tricts, II he is young and unmarried,
is often supposed to have matrimonial
designs on the young ladies of the dis
trict, no matter how innocent he may
be of such intention. Sometimes his
supposed preference for one or the
other is made the subject of gossip,
and occasionally the teacher is ever
the innocent cause Of most absurd
jealousies
A difiident young man, who chan
ced to be already engaged to be mar
ried, taught his first term of school in
western rural district some years
ago, and, in accordance with the ru-
raj custom, he did great deal of wis
iting around"
He spent one night at the house of
an old farmer who had q daughter fa-
nous, not for her beauty, but for her
lack of it. To enumerate her pecul-
iarities of face and figure would be TO
give catalogue of imperfections.
Those who regard bulk as mark of
beauty, who think head of red hair,
cut short and parted at the side, is an
attraction in q young lady, would
have been charmed with Becky
Ann"
When our somewhat fastidious
young teacher was introduced to this
paragon, her uncomeliness was in
creased by the Fact that she was bare
footed and wore an inharmonious
gown of green and yellow calico.
Naturally enough his amazed gaze
was fixed often on Miss Becky Ann
during the evening. When he retired
to his room for the night, he was fol-
lowed by her father, who almost stu
pefied him 10y saying, with perfect
gravity:
Look here, Tn going to tell you
something l reely think you'd orter
to know, ez it may save you from
raisin' any false hopes to have 'em
dashed to the ground / seen yer

man, but Jarvis hez got ahead of you

FOUR MOUNTAIN LIONS,
Ono After the Other Dispatched by Two
Intrepid Sheep-Herders.

A few days since J. r. Hammond, who
holds his sheep with the Smiley herd, locat-
ed at present near Wacott, heard in the
early morning commotion among the cor
rallied sheep, says the Platte Valley IVY. t.
Tyre.
Rising hastily from his blankets Mr.. Ham
mond seized his Winchester rife. and bur-
ried to the corral. The sheep were crowd
ing each other to and fro in their pen, and
the one united and continuous bleat which
srose from their midst had sound of pit
eous terror Convinced that a mountain
lion or lions could only have caused such a
disturbance in the woolly herd, Mr. Ham
mond, with his rife cooked, moved eau
tlously around the corral Scarcely had he
taken twenty steps when he came full upon
mountain lion crouching behind bunch
of sage brush with his mouth wide open.
So close was the savage brute that to pre-
sent gun in the ordinary manner was i'm
possible, and so Mr.. Hammond actually
thrust the barrel of his Winchester into
the lion open mouth and fired shot that
was instantly fatal.
The echoes Of the report had not died
away before a second lion sprang into
sight from the cover of the sage brush and
was also instantly killed by ball from the
trusty Winchester. Again there came that
ominous rattle of the sage brush, and a
third lion made his appearance and was
likewise laid low by Mr.. Hammond's uner-
ring aim.
In the meantime T. Pritchard, one of the
herders, had been aroused by the firing and
made his appearance upon the scene with
his gun, which he at once proceeded to use
with fatal effect, still another lion being his
target, thus making total of four of these
ferocious animals slain in almost as MANY
minutes. The lions came after mutton, but
themselves became the mutton" of Messrs.
Hammond and Pritchard.
Examination showed that the lions were
members of one mountain household, con-
sisting of the mother and three kittens-no
SLOUGH of kittens, either, as one of them
measured seven feet between tip of nose
and tail, a fact doubtless furnishing conclu-
sive evidence that these lions belonged to
the long-nose variety.
