MOTHER LOVE
Never Dies, as EXempIified by a
Woman who Waited Years
for Her Children.

A mothers love never dies. Ten
years ago Mrs. McElroy of St. Louis
found herself unable to take care of
her son and daughter aged 10 and s
years respectively. She placed them
in charge of the Sisters who soon af.
forwards sent them here and they
were adopted by Mr., and Mrs. james
Z. Scott, newly married couple liv.
ing three and a half miles west of
Houstonia. They lavished their love
upon the children and learned to love
them as their own and after
wards when their own In.
creased the family circle no diff
ference was made in their treatment
of the supposed orphans.
The mother at last found out where
her children had been sent and 8
years ago having become able to take
care of her children she came here to
get them. She begged of the Scots
to let them 60 but they refused. She
returned to St. Louis to await the
time when they would become of age.
Two years ago the boy being Is: ran
off, and is now located in Colorado.
Mr.. Scott kindly looked after him,
and through his influence the boy
was given good employment, and, al
though only 20 years of age is now
rising employee in the d. & r. e.,
Railway Offices.
A few days ago the girl bcame IS
and her mother came here to get her.
Remembering the square refusal six
years ago she feared that she would
perhaps be refused again, or what
would be still worse the girls love for
her foster parents might be the
strongest. She was surprised at her
reception. The SCOTS greeted her
pleasantly and the daughter at once
expressed her desire to 60 with her
mother Mr.. and Mrs. Scott said
they had no further claim but regret
ted to see her go. They insisted on
the mother remaining as their guest
few days which she did, and tonight
the reunited mother and daughter will
return to ST. Louis.

The bookings Failure.

The Columbus & Kicking Valley an
nounces that the September interest on one
issue of bonds will be defaulted and the
road will be placed in the hands of re-
ceiyor. Before the great coal mine strikes
on the lines Of this road, it was one of the
best pieces of railroad property in the coun-
try, paying ten per cent dividends twelve
years ago. The strike ruined the road, and
in fact, all of the people living in the
town along it from Columbus to Athens.
Neither the road nor the people have recov-
cred from the disaster. To add to the mis-
fortunes of tbs. line, some financial Nepol-
cons got hold of the line, consolidated it
with the Toledo & Columbus, issued So, OOO,-
600 bonds, and sold them. They put the
money where it will do them the most
personal good, leaving the stockholders to
hold the bag.

BULL AND PYTHON.
Story of a Fight to the Death in tn
South African Mountains.

| Story of a Fight to the Death in the
South African Mountains.
Last Sunday week one of the most
remarkable scenes on record is report
ed as having been witnessed in the VI
cinity of Table mountain. A troop OF
cattle, consisting of twelve cows and
patriarchal old bull, were grazing on
one of the plateau-like spurs of tho
mountain, which is surrounded on
three sides by precipitous ravines, and
on the fourth side, that nearest the
mountain, by dense bush. Some ma
tives higher up the mountain were at
tracted by the sudden believing of the
cattle, and saw two enormous pythons
coming out of the bush and making for
the cattle, which had drawn themselves
up in compact group with the bull at
its head. As the pythOns drew near the
animals gradually backed until they
stood on small space that jutted out
over tremendous precipice.
At this stage a sudden rush was made,
but only one heifer succeeded in escap-
ing. The other cattle, believing most
piteously, gradually backed. and one
by one fell over the precipice till final
" the bull only was left. He suddenly
charged at the big python transhxlng
the reptile on his horns, but the sec
ond snake seized the bull in its folds
and, having its tail around huge
boulder, commenced to crush the bull,
which, moaning piteously, struggled
frantically to escape. The tail Of the
python lost its hold of the rock, but
the larger snake, which had slipped of
the horn, tapping its tail around
smaller boulder opposite the one the
other snake had just released, seized
the bull and compressed the animal in
it's scaly fold. The other python sue
ceeded in regaining its former position,
and the bull was literally suspended
in mid air by the snakes. The whole
scene looked like some ghastly tri-
umphal march. The snakes were evil
IDENTIFY getting the best of the poor
brute, which was bleeding profusely,
when, by sudden effort, his struggles
forced both reptiles to loose their hold
of the rocks and the whole three were
hurled into the ravine beneath
The cattle were found on the first
ledge of the precipice, all being dead,
but the bull and the pythons had
bounded from ledge to ledge, and were
found 400 feet below the scene OF the
fight. The bull was merely mangled
mass and the snakes we're greatly
mutilated, the larger one having the
yertebra broken in nine places. The
pythons, which were of the rock
species, male and female. measured
respectively 40 feet inches and SO
feet 81 inches.-NatdL Witness.
