Admission to the White House grounds
Is now denied the guides, but they sta
ton themselves at slightly localities out
side, and when they see stranger
they go for him. One day last week
the sedate elderly gentleman was slow
ly moving in the direction of the White
House, when guido approached. Using
rattan switch as pointer, he indi-
Gated two-story building, glazing
white in the hot sun, and said, authori-
tatively: That's the White House, sir. !"
For a second the elderly gentleman
looked panied, then surprised, finally
amused. He listened while the features
of the White House were moro or less
accurately described, and gathered con-,
siderable information regarding the
life of the Presidents family. The
guide was interrupted in the midstof an
animated discussion of the Cabinet by
passer-by, who inclined his head re-
spectfully and raised his hat with the
murmur: "Mr. Secretary" The guide
gave q hesitating glance at his prey,
and the latter took advantage Of the
lull to enter the White House. The
guido was aghast, and the detective
who generally looks out for the in,
truders of the executive grounds hus-
tied him out into the avenue. That
guide will probably remember Redfleld
Proctor next time.

The questioner was interested, and
procuring long stick, fell to digging
also. A second man did likewise, and
others followed suit, till at least forty
individuals had joined in the search
Umbrellas and canes and boot toes were

SAVED BY HIS COWS.
A Pennsylvania Farmers Narrow Escape
From Dull.

a pennSylvcnia Farmers Narrow ESCAPE
From n Dull.
Frederick Sheaffer, aged sixty, OF
Lancaster County, had an exciting con-
test with mad bull the other day,
writes Reading pa correspondent.
While sitting under tree he was sud-
denly attacked by ferocious bull.
Farmer Sheaffer struck the beast and
broke his cane, and was then at the
mercy of the bull. The animal butted
him to the earth, and then, amid loud
snorting, rammed him with his short,
stumpy horns on the breast and head,
rolling his victim around and paving
him. Just as the old man began to be-
lieve this was the last Of earth his herd
of cows came running to his defense.
Their believing could be heard half
mile away. which attracted farm hands
near by. The cows viciously attacked
the bull with horns and hoofs, and sue
ceeded after desperate battle in draw
ing him off, Farmer Sh eaffer hurried
away and concluded to wade across to
the other side OF the stream to be sure
of his safety. The bull escaped from
the COWS, leaped into the stream, follow
ing the wounded farmer, who was now
up to his neck in water. The bull
swan after the old farmer, lashing the
water with his tail. Sheaffer turned,
and all no could do was to splash water
into the face Of the maddened beast
The bull was held at bay for few min
utes, and by this time the farmers two
sons arrived, armed with pitchforks.
They leaped into the water and soon
drove off tho animal by severely prod.
ding him. The bull was at once sold :
butcher, who killed him, and Farmer
Shcafer was taken home. The result
OF lis injuries may be serious.

The wind VII irled the snowflake waves
j OF water chance turn brought the
blinded man to shelter OF overhang-
ing rocks. lie sank down and slept the
sweet, dreamy sleep that welcomes
death by freezing.
AS half consciousness came and van
ished like strains Of music from dream
land, he felt caress. He remembered
distinctly tho soft touch on his face.
He thought for moment of the cougar
that might be ready to tear him to
pieces with his fangs, but his dream was
ono OF rescne. He was next aware of
being dragged over the rough stones by
one foot. The rescuers, he thought for
moment, were not handling him ten
derly but tho thought Of moro years Of
life was sweet after dream of the end.
The next glimmer Of consciousness
the old man remembers was the sensa
ton of warmth He thought he was at
home in bed ard he slept soundly for
awhile to be aroused by the pain of
frozen extrcmities in natures effort to
renew the work of life blood. He was
in dark, damp chamber. 1t was cold,
but not like tho cold that freezes one to
death He moved about and felt the
rough walls of a very narrow low room.
he Was in cavern. In one direction
the darkness was less dense, and he
started to crawl that way. A growl was
heard. Then came tho fearful scream
OF Il mountain lion. He was in the
beasts den. He had been dragged there
to be preserved for the next dinner Of
the fcrocious beast that had slain his
burro and Toasted upon him. He could
feel the presence of the cougar, but it
did not attack him. He waited in
brcathless terror for the onslaught,
but it did not come. He, after
awhile, found some loose stones in the
cave, and he instantly began to place
them between himself and the object of
his dread. BY great effort he finally
rolled up stone that was so large that
it filed up the passage before him.
The cougar growlcd and seemed to be in
great rage, but it never attempted TO
tear down the improviscd obstruction.
Having witnessed the wild beasts feUr
of fire, the imprisoned man lighted
some matches. The Pickering blaze re-
yealed yeritable charncl house. The
narrow chamber was filled with CHASTITY
skeletons OF wild beasts The skulls
and other bones were heaped up to fll
the back part of the cave. 1t was a
sicl,ening sight He had been dragged
into the den to be dcvourcd like the
beast of tho forest had been before him.
But the light drove the maddencd brute
farther away. Still he could be heard
in the passage between the prison and
the light of day.
The old man remained in the cougars
narrow store-room with his feline jailer
ever vigilant for two long days and
nights. His suiTorings was intense.
But after the long waiting he became
aware that the silent cave was vacated
by the mad brute. He removed his rock
partition and cautiously crawled out to
the bright world of light. He struggled
to his cabin over the deep snow. there to
suffer with frozen feet for two long
months before assistance came to help
him to surgeon.-Newton Bibbs, in

TEACHING cHINAMEN.

Now York Women Mako Fools of Them
selves Over Their naongo1lan Pupils.
Isl wish there never would be another
Chinese Sunday-school picnic" said
woman Of considerable prominence in
one of the Episcopal churches to New
York Sun reporter. ut Is ridiculous
that the women act as they do now over
tho Cinnamon, and I dislike to have
any thing happen to direct the atten-
ton Of the newspapers to their doings.
Many Of the teachers seem to be per-
feotly daft. Last fall a married woman
of fifty wears called an old Chinaman
out in the church vestibule to kiss him
before he returned to China. A little
before that saw her call him aside one
Sunday and make him bite a peach she,
was eating. 1t will taste SO much
sweeter after you, Wah Sing she said
to him. Then there is a constant row
In the Sunday-school about Ii 81 Yung,,
young Chinaman with round, inno-
cent face. He is the dude and fayorlte.
/ don't kr ow how many women In the
church are by the ears on account OF
him so they won't speak to each other:
They oil wish to teach him, and OF
course there is only one at time who
can get the privilege. Most Of the other
teachers are jealous of this one, and
hence the trouble. Not long ago O
Chinese pupil had a wife come over from!
China. His teacher begged him to let
his bride pass few days at her house.
The Chinaman consented reluctantly,
on the condition that 1.er:a;l should be
allowed to see her. So the teacher
drove down to his laundry, took the
Chinese woman homo with her and gave
her an elaborate afternoon reception;
Naturally oil this attention makes the
Cinnamon rather exacring. They rel
fuse to be taught in classes. Each must
have his own teacher. II another
Chinaman is placed under his teacher
he turns his back on him, and both Of
/ them sit as still and stubborn as mules
until they are separated. Tho whole
I thing is ridiculous.
