LIONS In THE CITY.
BIG GAME TO BE FOUND AT ELY
SIAN PARK.
Two Large Mountain Lions Running at
Large-A Chase Proposed
for Tomorrow
Morning.

| There will be grand mountain lion
hunt tomorrow morning, and all those
who have foxhounds are invited to par.
ticipate in the chase, whether they have
loet any lions or not. Mr.. G. j. Grit
fifth. Mr.. Bradish, DR.. Alexander and
Mr.. Haskell are of the party, and the
starting point is designated es at the
upper brickworks on the Chavez ravine
road.
Mr.. Haskell's celebrated prize hounds
will be brought to the point of rendez-
vous, and other hunters joining in the
chase are also invited to bring their
hounds, as there are two lions to be
caught.
On last Thursday, while MIR. Bradish
and DR.. Alexander were returning from
a hunting trip on the Los Feliz rancho,
situate about mile and half north of
the city, they saw two mountain lions
near the gum grove, above the upper
brick works, on the Chavez road. The
gentlemen dismounted, but before they
could draw bead on the lions they had
escaped-the lions. The lions are de-
scribed as the size of mastiff. Since
this time the ground has remained in a
dampened condition, and it is believed
that the dogs can easily trail them to
some of the caves in that vicinity or in
Elysian park. For these lions, or two
other lions, were also seen in Elysian
park by Mrs. McOrea and son, about
two weeks ago, while driving from Los
Feliz rancho to the city.
About one year ago Mexican wood
chopper on this ranch claimed that he
saw a lion and two cubs. He did not
have time to shoot at them. Since that
time hogs and poultry have been con-
siderably thinned out on Mr.. Griffith's
ranch, and the young cubs have grown
fat.
About two years ago Mr.. Haskell's
trained dogs treed a lion in that vicin-
ity, which be shot, which shows that it
is good lion neighborhood. The first
tracks were seen about six years ago.
but no one seemed to have caught up
with lion until Mr.. Haskell shot this
one.
The result of this chase is looked for
ward to with great interest.

THE COURT HOUSE SIDEWALK.

THE COURT HOUSE SIDEWALK.
The proposition to narrow the side
walk of the four streets about the new
court house was the next matter that
came up. The car tracks on Temple
street have used up 90 much of the mid
die OF the street that new curbing be-
came necessary to allow more room
for the passing of teams. The requisi-
ton Of the street superintendent for
$2S8 80 for work done at New High and
Temple streets was allowed, and the
supervisors notified that any further
work done on that block would be at
their expense.

a GOOD PLAN.

Devote an Hour Every Saturday to Max.
iOg Out the Weeks Menu.
Let those who complain of the trouble
of housekeeping and of the daily diff
Guilty of what to order for the next
days dinner-to say nothing of break
fast and luncheon-try the very simple
plan of devoting an hour every Satur-
day to the making out of weeks
menu, writing down at the same time
the daily order for the butcher. This
method will save no end of trouble and
thought, and will also insure to the
family q greater variety OF food; in
this way, too, individual tastes may
be gratified and little Injuries
introduced, and a much better table
maintained at less cost than when,
frctted and hurried, the house-mistress
has only a few minutes to spare for her
cook, the result being almost always
the ordering Of few staple dishes
over and over. Some time ago there
was published an excellent little book,
wherein the author tried to carry out
this idea and to supply daily menu
for every day in the year; but on ac-
count of the various habits Of living
and the greater or less number of peo-
pie in different families it Is impossible
to do this theoretically. Only the per-
son who keeps house herself has the
requisite knowledge to make out such

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE IDEAL FARMER.

He Must BE Not Only Brainy But Thor
oughly Educated ~ Well.
1.-THE only hope of the American
farmer of the future will be in his
brains. says Gen. Rusls, secretary of
agriculture. 1.-THE sharp competitions
between sections and counties which
will be induced by increased facilities
for transportation will stir the sgri-
culturist up to his best efforts. His
chances of fortune making win be
great, but he will have to be prepared
to fight the battle of competition for
them. He must he sufficiently well
educated in science as far as it is APP
plicable to agriculture. and he must be
intelligent enough to study his sur
roundings and to apply his knowledge
to the conditions about him. He will
be able to meet his fellow citizens on
an equal footing, and his brains will
command from his class in the industry
which he represents the respect and
consideration which he deserves, and
he will give other classes and other in
dustries due respect in return. The
farmer of the future will be business
man able not only to compel his soil TO
do its best in the matter of production,
but to study the markets and know
what will sell the best and what will
command the highest price. This farm

MILKING THE CON

She Didn't Understand Little Marie's Eff
forts, and So Ran Away.
Carl and Minna did not come home,
and it was getting late, and who would
milk the COW?
"I'll lead her in from the meadow.
and hold her," said Myo.
''I'n milk her." said papa.
"And well look on, said mamma ano
Marie.
So Myo brought the cow into the
yard and held her by the chain, and
papa brought out the three-legged stool
and the tin pail and began to milk; but
the mosquitoes were so troublesome
that Bossy kept switching her tail
about to drive them away, and the tail
bothered papa as much as the mos
quitoes bothered the COW.
you'll have to hold her TAIL" said
papa to mamma.
"Oh, can't" said mamma.
"Oh, yes, you. can." said papa.
Mamma wore a very large apron, 90
she took it up in her hands and with'it
held the tail fast
Little Marie felt sorry for poor Bossy
and thought she would drive the mos
quitoes away with her sun-bonnet, but
Bossy did not understand, and thought
she was being driven. and so away she
started.
She kicked the pail of milk over on
papa's shining boots, and off she went.
Myo held fast to the chain and mann
ma held fast to the tail. but Bossy was
stronger than both of them, and pulled
them along faster than they cared to
go. At last mamma gave mp trying to
hold the COW back, and dropped the
tail, while Myo and Bossy went on
around the barn.
Papa still sat on the stool. spattered
with milk and laughing as hard as he
could. Mamma came back laughing SO
that the tears ran down her face.
'Oh, shall die!" she gasped as she
sank down on the wheel-barrow.
Little Marie looked very sober at
these words, and crept close to poor
mamma, and frowDed at papa, who
laughed SO hard when mamma was go
ing to die.
just then Myo and Bossy came round
the barn, Myo still bravely Juggling at
the chain; and now the milking was
safely finished, but mamma and Marie

er will keep his accounts like any other
business man SO that he may know ex-
actly where his profits are and what
have been his losses. These are strong
qualifications, but they are essential to
the farmer who would do his business
on broad plan and who would succeed.
As to the question of his education,
when you consider that he must have q
knowledge of the principles of animal
and plant life, that he must understand
the constituent elements of soils and
fertilizers, and that he must have some
knowledge of meteorology, chemistry
and the other sciences closely connect

AT THE STUDIO.

why spitxer and PoRy Didn't Get Then
Pictures Taken.
Splitter was big, ''double-toed" cat,
with tail that, when held aloft, as
was his favorite habit, quite over
Swallowed his mottled-yellow back.
Splitter was a beauty, Polly thought,
and she took him, one fine August
morning, in basket to have his pic
ture taken at little travelling saloon
that had been stopping in the neighbor-
hood for q week.
His fur was good deal rumpled, as
well as his temper, when the picture
man pulled him out of the basket by
the tail, and he clawed everything
within reach of his great paws. For
once Polly could not smooth him out
But the man squealsed a wooden mouse
behind the camera, and quick as wink
Splitter sat up on his high stool, pricked
his ears and smiled little"
Now was the time to catch q good
expression" when - stamp rattle -
whoop!-in plunged Tommy Hicks with
his big fat pug Pogy to have his picture
taken, too.
Dear! Dear! What furry! Over
went the high stool, and Splitter, with
green eyes and big tail, few over the
saloon, growing and splitting, with
Pogy after him barking and jumping
and knocking over everything in their
path.
The picture man hung on to his
camera, and shouted Scat! Get out!"
Tommy lodged about trying to seize
Pogy's sleek tail, while Polly crowded
her fingers in her ears and got behind Q
door.
In minute the storm was over.
Splitter, after scurrying over and under
everything in the saloon, jumped
through a high window and ran home,
while Pogy was so beat out that he just
stritched himself out on the cool floor
and lolled.
He wasn't At to have his picture
taken till be could keep his tongue in
his mouth" the man said, rather cross
~, so Tommy took him home. The sa-
loon went away the next day, and
neither Splitter nor Pogy have had
pictures taken as yet-Youtf1's Com

LAND FOR WHEAT.

To Secure Good Results It Must BE Thor
oughly Cultivated.
After blowing thoroughly it is very
important to have land intended to be
sown to fall wheat, that it be prepared
in as good condition as possible. The
soil to the depth of three or four
inches should be in fine filth as q seed
bed for the wheat and underneath this
the earth should BE reasonably solid.
The kind of implement needed to
properly fit the soil for the seed must
be largely determined by the charac-
ter of the soil and its conditions. When
carly and it is in proper state, q good
smoothing harrow is all that will be
needed to properly fine it Afterward,
however, before the blowing can be
done the soil gets hard and may
break up in hard Jumps, and the drag
may be used to properly level and fine.
Again, hard, beating rain after plow-
ing will often run the soil together,
and the hot sun will cause it to bake
and in this condition, in the majority of
cases, it will be best to use the disc
harrow.
What will he best at one time or in
one kind Of soil will not be the most
econo mical under other conditions and,
for this reason, the character of the
soil and the kind of work to be done
must always be considered. The one
important item is to make sure Of
working enough, and then to use the
implement that will do the work most
