In Denver, Col., on Tuesday, a
youth of eighteen, innocent looking
aud blue eyed, walked into the Nation
al Bank of Commerce and slipped a
crumpIed piece of paper to the paying
teller, on which was inscribed these
words; "I'Vo got the drop on You.
Keep your head closed and give me
5000 quick, or eat cold lead" The
youth held a revolver in his hand
Quick as flash the paying teller, Mr..
ID. A. Barton, took in the situation,
and, lodging beneath the counter,
grasped revolver, and fred at the
intruder without rising. The latter
as quickly ducked his head and the
bullet went whisting past him and
through a plate glass window into the
street, which was crowded with PEG
pie. Strange to say, nobody was hit.
The robber sprang, for the door and
ran down the street with an excited
crowd IN full chase. He ran four
blocks, when he was overtaken, and
he surrendered without a struggle,
although he carried the loaded reVol-
yer in his hand. The young man
gave his name rs Herbert Sullivan,
and said he was from Baltimore. In
explanation of his desperate deed, he
said he was hard up for money and
came to the conclusion that some.
thing desperate must be done or he
would go to the wall.

Gravel for Poultry,

Everybody knows, says the Poultry
Keeper. tEat the hens have no teeth, and
that the food is masticated in the gizzard.
But the gizzard itself is but feeble agent,
and cannot perform its functions without
the aid of some substance that is hard
and sharp. Nature. therefore, prompts
the hens to pick up and swallow gravel,
glass, small shells and other substances,
but it may be notice that the7 prefer such
as are sharp and irregular. Round bits of
gravel do not serve the purpose, though
better than nothing, and the gizzard is
not injured, no matter if the sharpest and
keenest glass be swallowed. The food aud
hard substances are kept in constant mo-
ton while in the gizzard, and the entire
contents are ground into an impalpabe
powder and passed into the stomach. The
pouitryman, therefore, in providing gray
Ell, should select such as may be irregular
ON the surface. Oyster shells are excellent,
but they are not sufficient when used
alone. An old piece of pottery ware,
broken finely, will be preferred, and
small allowance Of broken glass will not
be rejected. The hens will not accept
anything not suitable, and no danger
need be feared. It is best, however, to pro-
vide a variety of such material as will
serve the purpose, not emitting charcoal,
which assists very materially in the pro
cess of grinding the food.

WORST OF MANsEATERS.
A Leopard Who Swallowed 1874 Persona
Before He Was Shot

Before He Was Shot.
The Calcutta Euglishman contains q
blood curling account of the doings Of a
man eating leopard lately shot in the Raj
shah district IN Bengal. The monster had
destroyed 154 persons before he was
brought down. His appitite for flesh, his
teroclty, his cunning and his ,audacity were
unexampled In the leopard tribe, and they
would have done credit to a tiger.
He depopulated whole villages, for the
mere terror of his name sent the inhabi-
tants flying as soon as he lad seized soil.
tary victim in their midst.
For miles around the people never ven
tured to leave their houses after nightfal
until they heard that he Was dead, but this
was no great hindrance to him. He would
seize tpem from the verandas when they
were smoking the evening pipe, and some
times he penetrated the very houses in the
dead OF night and carried away children
often without giving the slightest alarm to
the other inmates.
As a rule, re killed only one person at
time; but he sometimes killed two, and on
one occasion ne killed three in ons day.
Children and old women were his favorite
food. Among his victims there were but
six men. He WAS impe ed by sheer han
keribg for human flesh, for be neve,
touched the cattle.
The villagers began to think the scourge
was demon iucarnate, and it was i'm
possible to organize them for tt pursuit.
At length some twenty elephants were
brought together for an expedition, and
flying column of British planters set forth
in quest Of the destroyer. They serched
for some time In vain, until An old man,
whose wife had been eaten, came to report
that their quarry had taken refuge in a
tamarinda tree
1t was as he had stated, only the man
eater had by this time hidden himself in
the jungle at the foot of the tree, and for
the moment could not be found The
place was surrounded, aud the elephants
advanced In close order TO trampl9 the fu-
gitiva out of his hiding-pIace. This man
euver succeeded after frequent repetition;
the beast was driven out Of cover and at
once riddled with balls. He will become
legend in the district, and prehaps
dlety.

Practice is not in conflict with enthu-

One of the first duties every Christian
owes to God is to be happy.
Courtesy is the salt of society, as love lie
the essence of life.
Beautiful faces are they that wear the

From what man says you can often

Every gift that comes from Gods hand
is a good gift, no matter now uncomely it
may look.

LUMPYJAwIN CATTLE.

The disease of cattle by veterinarians
actinomycosts, but by stock raisers as
''lumpy jaw" has causee much alarm
throughout the west for several years says
the Chicago Journal Though it has new
er been shown that it is contagious,
abe spread of the disease among large
herds of cattle On ranges has caused peo'
lie to believe that it is communicated
Dm one animal to another. Secretary
usk states that the bureau of animal in
dustry had been conducting experiments
in treating this disease, ard had come to
he conclusion that it was durable by the
dse of simple remedy. It's the inten-
ton to collect in the west at least nun
bred of animals affected by this disease
and to treat them to ascertain
how many of them can be
cured. In the course of his remarks on
the snt jet the secretary said: Il am
confident the experiments now under way
with a treatment will prove successful.
This treatment consists in the internal
administration of iodide of potassium in
full doses-that is, in doses ranging
from ope to three drains, according to the
size of the afflicted animal. L is given
daily until improve ment is we'll marked,
nd then may be withheld for day or
,wo at time The medicine is dissolved
in about pint of water, and is given be-
fore feeding the animal it morning or
evening meal" The number of cases of
this disease has been constantly increas-
ing for several years. Although animals
affected with this disease are con-
dtmned at the stock yards they continue
to be sent there. They are disposed
of at price that does not LAY
for bringing them long distance, and
this has caused many to believe that some
of them are slaughtered, dressed and sold
Tor TODD. While it has not been proved
that this meat is absolutely unwholesome,
II is certain that 10 one would KNOWN gly
eat it. j this new and simple treatment
proves to be effective it will result in pre-
venting great loss to stock raisers. The
price of beef is now so low that few
animals made unstable by disease will
tffset tie profit On those that remain
healthy till they ARE at an age and condi
tion to be sent to market.
