RILEY's FAvoRITE POEM.


In response to a request from the Ur5ana, o.,
Citizen that he name his iavorite English poem,
James Whitcomb Riley sends to the editor of
that paper the subjoinei verses. He first saw
them twenty years ago in an obscure country
newspaper, and has been trying ever since to
learn the name of the author.
BRAVE LOVE.
He'd nothing but his violin:
I'd nothing but my song
But we were wed when skies were blue
And summer days were long:
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared 10 WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
VIC sometimes supped on dewberries,
Or slept among the hay
But oft the farmers wives al eve
Came out TO hear us play
The rare old tunes--the dear old tunes.-
We could not starye for long
While my man hsd his violin
And my sweet love song.
The world has ave gone well with us,
Old Man, since we were onei-
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
X long ago was done
But those who wait for gold or gear
For houses and for kline.
Till Youths sweet spring grows brown and sere
And love and beauty tine,
viii ueyeT know the JOYS OF hearts
That met without a fear
When you had but your violin
And a song. my dear.

FIGHT WITH A COUGAR.
Terrible Adventure of a Swedish Sailo
With Big Kittie.''

With :" Big Kittie."
The cougar secures its prey by creeping
stealthily behind it until near enough to
spring upon and strike it down. Ii will at
tack man in the daytime if it can approach
him unseen, and is hungry. In an article
contributed to the Youths Companion,
entitled The Big Game of North Amer
ica," Mr.. w. A. Perry describes a terrible
fight between a Swedish sailor and cougar,
which took place near the house of the
writer's father.
The sailor. joseph Jorgenson, ran away
from British man-of-war anchored in a
harbor Of British Columbia. and made his
way to Washington where he took up a
quarter section Of Government land. One
morning he began clearing spot wherein
to build house. He was vigorously WELD
ing spade, when suddenly his arm " as
seized by cougars jaws.
Joe was very strong, and by kick in the
stomach he forced the beast to fall to the
ground. The cougar sprang at the mans
throat. With his left arm Joe walded off
Its jaws, while with his right he dealt it a
blow in the ribs that again felled it to the
ground.
Quick as flash the beast seized Joe's left
hand. With right fist and heavy boots Joe
beat and kicked the animal until 1t released
MS hand Retreating a short distance, it
sprang on his breast and knocked him
against tree. Again he cuffed and kicked
1t until 1t let 20 and retreated.
Joe then happened to see the spade he had
been using lying at his feet. He snatched
it, and warded off the cougars spring by a
timely thrust. The brute fell at the man s
feet, but instantly rose and seized him by
the thigh. Concentrating his strength, Joe
drove the sharp blade of the spade into the
beasts head, and it fell dead at his feet.
Bitten and scratched, the blood streaming
from dozen wounds, he reeled home. It
was many weeks before he recovered, and
when he grew strong he had lost all desi re
for farming. He shipped on an Americ an
coaster as sailor. saying that he had les
fear Of the sharks than of the Big Kitties."
