No Place for Him.

Until ten years or more ago the Texas
Pan Handle, through several months of
each year, afforded pasturage for vast
herds of bison, commonly known as the
buffalo, an animal which, in its wild
state, at least, has almost entirely van
ished. On certain occasion two gen
tlemen, prominent in Texas politics, were
hunting in the buffalo region, and one of
them, getting within range of a herd
of the ruminants, brought down large
bull
Knife in hand, the hunter was ap-
preaching his quarry, when all at once
it rose, believing and ready for bust
ness. Since the gun was empty, fight
was the sportsman's only recourse, and
an instant later wild eyed man was
seen tearing away, with furious brute
closely following.
Hunter number two, meanwhile, was
watching the scene from a hilltop, too
far off to be of tine slightest assistance to
his companion.
A tragic termination of the chase
seemed inevitable, for the fleeing gentle
man was heavyweight, and already
the space between pursuer and pursued
began to diminish. Suddenly the fugi-
tive was seen to strike off at an angle,
and the breathless watcher heaved a
sigh of relief when his friends objective
point was found to be cave but few
rods away.
At the very entrance to this seeming
place of safety, however, the fleeing man
turned aside and dashed with such frantic
speed across the plain that a marked
gain was made upon his pursuer.
But this could not last long, and final
ly, the fugitives strength utterly fail
ing him, he fell completely exhausted,
while the buffalo. faint from loss of
blood, dropped at almost the same in
slant and within less than rod of the
PROSTATE man.
Hunter number two now came up, and
his first question was:
"Why didn't you run into the cave,
colonel? That would have shielded you
from the buffalo"
"Buffalo!" came the painting but con-
temptuous response; ''why, general,
there's bear in that cave as big as two
uffalo"-Youths Companion.

A Hannibal (Mo.) man bought two
pills and put them in his vest pocket.
He also bought a small pearl button and
put it in the same pocket. When it came
time to take pill he opened his mouth,
shut his eyes and gulped one down. He
was relieved of his headache and went

A young man who is stopping at a
well known watering place has had an
amusing experience. At one of the
neighboring hotels be had met a fair
southerner who greatly captivated his
rather susceptible fancy. His request
to be allowed to call met with a gracious
assent, and the next day he presented
himself at the door of her mothers sit
ting room. Come in" called out a
strident voice as he knocked at the door.
On opening it he was surprised to see no
one in the room, but from the mex apart
ment came an injunction in the same
harsh accents to "sit right down in the
parlor."
Wondering not a little at his recep-
ton, he took a chair, but his astonish-
ment may be imagined when he heard
his fair one summoned in the following
manner MARY Anne, you've got a
beauI' "Mary Anne, you've got a beaur
and his equanimity was not even restored
when his inamorata entered and laugh

New york.s First Bath Tub.

at is really astonishing" said a gen.
tleman to me, chow many people there
are who, on a sweltering day when the
thermometer is way up in the nineties,
do not take a bath, although their tubs,
with hot and cold water, are at their dis
posal every minute Of the day. They are
either too lazy to take a refreshing bath,
or they forget all about it. People do
not sufficiently appreciate the many
conveniences of a modern house which
we now enjoy. And it is not so many
years since we had these conveniences.
Last May there died in this city Mrs.
Mary Mason Jones, aged eighty-rine.
The year she married Qs1S she built a
residence at No. 1919 Chambers street,
New York, and that was the first resi-
dence in this city to have gas and a bath
tub. At no time in the history OF the
world have people had SO much comfort
and luxury as at the present day.-New

Probability of Other Leads.

Some of these days it will be proven
beyond question that there are leads
both to the north and south of the great
Granite, with plenty of pay IN them, and
that they continue in richness clear to
the western contact. This would have
been clearly demonstrated years ago but
for the fact that in none of the leads ly-
ing in the granite formation in this dis
tnct is there any rich ore near the sur
face, and everybody knows that it takes
lots of money to develop them. But
with the East Granite working on the
south, (and it is almost certain that that
company's works will not be long idle,)
and Charles Clark's continual hammer
ing on all of his properties to the north,
it will not be long until the Flint Creek
district will be clearly in the lead of all
other districts yet discovered as a silver
producer.
The Philipsburg mail. [volume] (Philipsburg, Mont.) 1887-current, 1891-08-06

A petition will be presented to the
board of county commissioners at their
next regular meeting praying that the
following boundaries form new school
district: Beginning at the southwest
corner of section 6, township 6 north,
range Il west; thence east four miles to
the northeast corner of section Is; thence
south one mile to the northeast corner of
section 13 (unsurveyed); all of township
6 south of said lines. The MAIL is now
and always has been unqualifedly in
favor of good schools and plenty of them.
We understand that the new district pc
titioned for will, if granted, take in that
section of country in the vicinity of Frank
Young's ranch. Some of the ranchers
out that way have often complained that
it is too far to send their children to
school in Philipsburg, and want another
school nearer at home.

turned Sunday from a visit to friends
