A PANTHER's FIERCE JEAL OUSY.
A Strange Story of a Brute's Vengeance
from New Mexico.

A strange instance of jealousy in an
animal is reported from ranch in the
range northwest of Silver City, n. M.
A Mexican named Juan Lopez some
years ago caught a young mountain
lion and raised it as pet. He had
the animal completely under subjec-
ton and it was as docile with him as
house cat. The lion is now about
years old and is full grown, but it has
always been accustomed to sleep at the
foot of the bed of it's master and has
followed him like dog when he went
around the place. Lopez had the lion
trained for hunting and it was always
with him except when he came to
town. 1t had never shown any danger
Gus disposition when with other peo-
pie, and would allow visitors to fondle
Lopez recently married and his
bride insisted that the lion should be
made to sleep out of the house, as she
was afraid of it. Lopez assented to
her wishes and built house for his
pet near the door of his cabin. When
he attempted to make the animal 90
in it that night the brute for the first
time was disposed to rebel against the
wishes of its master, and the result
was that it received a whipping. Ii
went sullenly into the box, but all
night long the Mexican and his bride
could hear its low growls. Next morn
ing the animal skunk into the house
and curled up in a corner, repulsing
the caresses of its master. 1t was
sullen all day, but the bride noticed
that it watched her constantly, and she
] became so nervous that she insisted
that her husband should get rid of the
big lion, and he promised to do SO as
soon as possible.
The second night it went to its hut
outside with little opposition and next
morning Lopez started to town to find
purchaser for his pet. He left the
animal at home and told his wife to
pay no attention to it but 90 about
her work as if it was not in the house.
Lopez had no difficulty in finding a
purchaser for his lion, and about )
o'clock in tbs evening started home
pretty well intoxicated with mescal.
He arrived home after dark, and was
surprised to find the house dark. As
he entered the place and CROPPED about
he stumbled over something on the
floor. STOPPING down he discovered
that the object was a woman's body.
He quickly struck d light, and was
Mortified at the sight that met his
gaze.
The young wife had been torn to

The SnOW-HOuSe.

All yesterday it showed and showed.
And all last night until the road
Was whittier than the downy spread
Upon my cCzy trundle-bed
And once. before the daylight broke.
When from the lands of dreams | woke.
/ heard the poor wind whine and moan
Like Carlo when he's left alone.
Then high above the fieecy plain
The red sun Sprang, and shook his name
And every window seemed like cake
The busy city bakers make.
SO | got all my warm wraps out.
And buttoned tight my roundabout,
And found my shovel in the shed.
And shouted loud and long to Ned
Until he came with answering cries.
All bundled to the very eyes;
Then down the orchard path we ran,
And Ned was rear and | was van.
It's whistle shrill the wind still blew.
And, OH what drifts we fiOundered through
The apples clinging to the bough
Were ike big bursting puff-baIls now:
The brook was SmOthered; not note
Came gurgling from its merry throat,
And only CHEEKY chickadee
Sang welcome from the cheTry-tree.

As high as pOnyS back. / know;
And there we cleared space before

Almost anywhere about the old
adobe building pan of dirt will show
a good color Of gold dust. How this
gold came to be scattered about is ex-
planned by few old pioneers who
lived with Gen. Suffer. One source of
loss was by the prevailing process of
cleaning the gold of dross and black
sand. This was done by blowing with
the mouth or small hand-bellows.
Another waste occurred in the bar
room, which was located on the east
side of the fort in the basement. It
was customary, when a man wanted
drink, to deposit his buckskin sack up
on the bar, and after the liquor was
disposed of, the barkeeper walked up
to the bag, opened it and with his fore
finger and thumb, took liberal pinch
OF the shining dust. Sometimes the
buckskin bag leaked, and the careless
miner in his perambulations would
leave behind him trail of yellow
dust, like a farmer going to mill with
his wheat sacks carelessly united.

JUST IN THAT WHICH IS LEAST.
Italys King Acknowledges His Mistal'
in Dispute with Peasant.

The good nature of Italy's king is
well illustrated by an anecdote from
the days of the last royal hunts at
MonZa. King Humbert is accustomed
to take his sport with the gun in pretty
much the same clothes as other per-
sons and without attendants. thereby
distinguishing himself from MS impe-
rial German ally, who has insignia of
his high office all over his hunting cos
tune and is accompanied usually on
the chase by noblemen and funkeys.
Shortly before the end of his last
season the kings hound started a hare
about two miles from Monza, and the
king fired. At the same instant an
other shot was heard, and an Italian
peasant with an old-fashioned gun and
a mongrel dog hurried up from the
opposite direction. The peasant mis-
took the simply yet elegantly clad
sportsman who disputed his possession
of the hare for Roman dude, and
caught up the royal arm stretched
toward the dead game. There was
hot discussion, which ended in the
triumph of the kings superior logic
and his taking off the hare.
At the royal castle the king gave the
hare to the servants that they might
prepare it for his supper, and stood by
as they dressed it for the pan. When
the entrails were removed the bullet
that caused the animals death was
found. 1t was of the old style for
gun of the pattern of fifty years ago.
The king looked at it, and at once sent
out a messenger to summon to the cas-
tie the peasant who had disputed the
possession of the hare. When the old
man was led into the kings presence
the latter stretched to him both hands,
and said:
my dear man, | have just discov-
cred my mistake. The hare belongs
to you. AS it is already roasting,
however, | can do no more than to ask
you to help me eat it.
The peasant sat at the kings right
hand at dinner that evening and, al
though high society spoiled his appe-
tite, he iingled his wine glass against
that of his sovereign, and rode home,
considerably eyhilarated, in the royal
carriage.

EMU-MULE,
A Difference of Only One Letter in the
Names of the Two AbIest kickers.

DR.. j. E. Usher of London, fellow of
the Royal Geographical Society and a
sportsman of note, who has been in
Arabia and other remote parts of the
globe hunting for big game, has ar
rived here from North Queensland and
the desert region known as the North
Territory, in Australia. This is an
enormous stretch of country thou
sands of miles in area, infested by
cannibals, in which are giant emus,
nombat and wallaby. 1t was to hunt
the emu that DR.. Usher made his trip
there.
"A party of US went up in that far
north region" he said last night. 1--WE
were among the cannibals, who are
great in size, being six and half feet
high and physically perfect. 1t is a
dry, sandy region for the most part.
Emus in large numbers are to be
found over this territory. We hunted
them on horseback, and it was rare
sport, for the reason that they can run
as fast as a horse, and very good one
at that. We found the catching of
emus almost as interesting as cours-
ing, besides having a certain spice of
danger about it.
can emu can kick as hard as a
horse. l have seen men kicked so
hard by this vicious bird that their
legs were broken. If I had my choice
of being kicked by horse or an emu
| think [ would take the horse. The
emu stands on one leg, and with the
other strikes. a quick and most par
alyzing blow. [ never would have be-
ieved that bird had such power had
| not had ocular evidence of it during
this trip. After two or three of our
men had suffered from the terrific
kicks of these birdsWe did not venture
near them, but after running our
horses till we got close enough would
bring them down with our rifles. We
did not approach them till we knew
they were dead. We killed them for
their feathers, although they are not
so valuable as those of the ostrich.
eve also hunted for their eggs,
which are to be found in the sand, but
in doing this we took care not to col
Tide with the emu. The eggs are more
in demand than the feathers. They
are very beautiful, and are so tough
that it is difficult to break them. Pro-
fessiOnal curio makers drill q hole in
each end, take the inside out, and then
the shell is carved and mounted in
silver. There are three layers of the
shell, and the carving is done so as to
show three colors. The silver is set in
the first layer, so thick is it. and when
it is all carved and ornamented by the
silver it is handsome. - San Francisco

BUSINESS, NOT BRAINS.
That is What Counts in Novel Writing
Nowadays.

Novel writing has become a trade,
and is among the vulgarest and LEAST
respectable of modern occupations. A
mere business or a mere handicraft
may be ennObled by its pursuer, but
can not be vulgarized as the trade pur-
suit OF what was once an art may be.
The public insists on being served
with imaginative literature of one sort
or another. The great mass of read
ers has no power to distinguish good
work from bad. 1t has no faculty for
the recognition of style of power or
fiReness in the delineation of character.
We have seen already what it demands,
and we have seen that men whose
literary equipment is least adequate in
the sight of the judicious can supply
the demand as well as the most accom-
plished literary artist.
The novel, as a vehicle for the ex-
preston of thought and emotion, is
neither dead nor doomed. The OPP
pOrtunities it affords are so wide and
various that great men will always be
found who will employ them. But
for the time at least its day of splendor
is over. We are on the eve of a new
epoch. The immediate publicity
afforded by the theater and the splendid
rewards gathered by the successful
playwright will combine to enlist the
most capable literary workmen in the
dramatic art We shall have very
shortly a renaissance of the stage.
This is not to say for a moment that
all well-equipped writer's of fiction will
at once begin to work for the boards.
The difference between the two kinds
of work is so wide that only the man
why has essayed both can rightly
understand it. The result must be
looked for through the action of
growing fashion. Dickens and Thack-
cry and George Eliot wrote novels
naturally, because the novel was the
form of literature into which they
were born. Men and women of equal
power who will dawn upon the world
of letters twenty years hence will be
writing drama because the literary at
mosphere will be saturated with stage
influences. Great fame and great
pecuniary reward are bats to catch
the biggest kind of fishes. The fame
and the reward may be trusted to
create and fashion of seeking for them,
and when the masters of Imaginative
art arise they will work after the man
ner OF their hour.-D. Christie MURRAY

KIeptomania in New York.

"Do you know" said a member of
one of the big dry goods firms recent
ly, shat the weakness for prigging
small articles of portable property,
known as kleptomania, has increased
to such an extent among our custom
ers that we now have list of twenty
three women who rob us every time
they come into the store. As they
are all steady patrons of our house,
and their annual bills mount up to a
big sum in the aggregate, we let them
freely indulge their shoplifting fancies.
Afterward a clerk is sent to their
homes, and the missing goods are re-
turned either by the kleptomGniac her
self or her relatives. Nearly every
one of them is fond of taking some
particular article, and the remainder
are liable to lay hands on anything
from a handkerchief to box of gloves.
The only drawback to this little sys-
tenn is that when we light on bona
fide shoplifter she invariably tries the
kleptomania lay, and it is hard work
to select the real article. ~. 7. Id
