ESCORTED BY FRIENDLY PUMA
II once had an adventure in New Mex
leo that made a terrible draft on my
nervous SYSTEM" said Walter Phelps.
~ had set out to walk from the sta
ton to the ranch of an old friend, some
four miles out, and when had cover
ed about half the distance a gigantic
mountain lion came siding up to me.
l had not even pocket knife. When
few feet distant, he stopped and look
ed me over, and thought he was try
ing to make up his mind what portion
he preferred for breakfast. | had
heard much of the power of the human
eye, and l proceeded to put on my
most tragic frown and to stare at him
fixedly. This so overcame him that he
sat down on his launches and batted
his ewes lazily. I continued to stare
and frown and he came slowly up to
me, rubbed his head against my trem-
bling knees, and made purring sound
that resembled giant coffee mill in
motion He was evidently not hun
CRY. l walked slowly in the direction
of the ranch, and the powerful cat con-
tinued to rub against my legs and purr.
There was not tree or house for the
entire distance, and the brute stuck to
me like cookie burr to o marino
sheep. When raped at the door he
sat down and made his toilet by rub
bing his big paws over his face. When
my friend opened the door ! found that
| had inadvertently dropped my voice
along the road somewhere. l could
only point to my companion as I
hastily scrambled inside.
My pet said he; i raised him
from kitten; harmless as dove and
sociable as grass widow '"-S. Louis

A subtle change of sentiment is noted
in Fall River. From believing Lizzie
Borden innocent most people have come
to suspect that she may be guilty. The
rumor, uttered, denied and reaffirmed,
O. a quarrel and the utterance of tell
tale words between the sisters has its
effect. The dilatory method pursued
yesterday by Mr.. Adams had its effect.
The statement is affirmed and re-
affirmed, and will not down, that insan-
ity is to be Lawyer Jennings plea if too
much is proved against his client. Evil
dence in support of the plea will not be
lacking. Enough has been outlined in
the discussion Of the case to show that
Miss Lizzie is queer" These are the
rumors that float and the gossip that
futters. They are significant only up
to certain point. What is really
known and can be used as the basis of a
reasonable opinion is very small.
The government has shown nothing
that was not known before. The coun-
sci for the defence has wasted hours in
discussing the precise shape and loca-
tion of certain spots Of blood. The
medical examiner has revealed upon the
stand the irregularity of his autopsy
proceedings, and his evident partiality
for the prosecution in the disposition of
his imperfect record of the examina-
tions. The bearing of the accused dur
ing the trial of her public appearance
under such circumstances, has con-
firmed previous opinions of her forti-
tude and self-control. Up to date, that is
all.
The further stages of the case will be
watched with the keenest interest. 1t
is not often that the Mortified contem-
plation falls upon crime so bloody, a

THE Medical Record has an article on
"Typhoid Fever in Chicago" from
which it appears that in 1891 that city
had over 10000 cases, 1897 of them
fatal. Chicagos population is / 200, 900,
so that one person in every 60 had a
life and death battle with filth disease
directly attributable to the city's bad
water and drainage. These figures can
not be paralleled in any other great city
of the world, and they have two-fold
interest They mean that visitors to the
