A strange Creature.

One of the most unfortunate animals
in the world is the babakoto, or, as
grown up people with lots of time to
spare like to call him, the Indris brevi-
candatus. l call him unfortunate be-
cause he labors under the great disad-
vantage of resembling monkey with
out the chief joy of the monkeys life
the one that compensates the monkey
for his lack of beauty-which is, in
brief, the ability to swing about on
trees with his tail. The reason why
the babaSoto cannot swing by his tail
is that he has no tail worth mention
ing, and it is no doubt due to this fact
that all the babal1oto can do is to sit IN
tree and whimper and wall. If you
wish to see the babalsoto in the full lux
ury of his woe, you must go to NADIA
gascar, whittier he has gone to live, ia
be rid, no doubt, of the saucy apes OF
Central Africa, who are said TO have
made cutting and uncomplimentary re-
marks about his caudal shortcomings.

of me the wolves instantly began 10
crowd nearer, wbereupon he raised his
head with warning growl, and they
fled to a safer distance. This occurred
not once or twice, but dozen times.
The very fact that am here to-day,
gentlemen, is due to a gang of wolves
that would have torn me into good
many fragments II they could have
had their way,
but the brief respite came to an
end. The bear, tired of being defraud-
ed of his meal, decided to drag it to
some more secluded place, and there
feast at his leisure. He made one last
charge upon the wolves, and then,
rushing back, seized my shoulder again
and started off in trot. A few ITO
ments of agony were followed by an
other faiuting spell, and once more,
happily, l was unconscious. When l re-
covered the same bowling, raging
pandemonium was going On around
me. Added numbers had made the
wolves more courageous, and they were
pressing close upon the grizzly. He
had not yet begun to devour me. He
would stand over me and growl for a
moment, and then make onslaughts
upon the enemy, scattering them like
chaff.
"As turned to watch him in one 81
these violent attacks was startled to
find that l was lying just before the
door of one of brother Johns bear-pens.
1t was little house, built and rooted
with logs securely clamped together.
The door was raised and fastened to
the lever that connected with the trig.
ger inside. At first my only thought
was of the grim joke it would be upon
Johns bear-trap to have his brother
devoured by a bear right in front of it.
Then something else occurred to me.
The bear came back and stood over me.

about grizzly-hunting, but l had lit
tie experience in that line that wasn't
plcasa mt, | assure you. You have all
told your hunting stories; now give me
chance, and is mine don't lay it over
all of them I'll stand the cigars.
81 have lived 10 San Francisco, as you
know, about fifteen years. During all
that time my recreation was confined
exclusively to little sails on the bay or
fishing excursions. | had never been
able to get off on hunt, though you
all know that | am fonder of hunting
than anything else in the way of sport.
But the spring business was a little
dull for awhile, and | had an oppor-
tunity to visit my brother in the north
ern part of the state. | took along one
of the finest guns you ever saw and u
complete hunting outfit, for my brother
had written that game was plentiful,
and | was resolved to have full month
of unlimited hunting.
That brother OF mine is queer fell
low. He went with me on two or three
excursions and then grew tired of it
and staid at home with his vines and
stock. You were liable to find almost
anything in those woods, he said. Such
depredations had been made on his
sheep that he had been forced to build
bear traps and dig pitfalls for the
wolves on every side of his farm. He
had caught no bears yet, but wolves
had been captured nearly every day.
Still, for several days l brought home
nothing more formidable than a deer,
sllulking after me as l carried my
trophies home. l had been there about
a week, think, when one morning as
was getting ready to ride forth on my
usual jaunt my brother begged me not
to go, and said he felt as though some.

funny fellow about things like that
always having premonitions. 1 laughed
at him and gayly told him what direc-
tion | was going to take, SO that he
could trace Inc up if | failed to put in
an appearance, and l rode away,
whistling as l went.
Before had gone mile saw fine
buck, but got a very poor shot and
only wounded it, | felt certain, how
ever, from the way the blood was pour
ing, staining the ground as it ran, that
it was badly wounded and must as
suredly drop very soon, so | rode after
it as fast as I could trailing it easily
by the blood-stains. | had shot the
deer on the mountain side. 1t ran
along the side of the slope for perhaps
quarter of mile and then suddenly
struck down the mountain. And 50,
following it, came at last to the edge
of the valley, with its large timber and
heavy underground. Just as l entered
this valley 1 came upon the prostrate
trunk of an enormous tree which had
apparently fallen several months be-
fore, turning out huge mound of clay
with its roots. The trail of blood
showed that the deer had leaped over
the trunk, but my horse was no jumper,
and began hastily circling around the
tree.
'As turned the angle of the clay
mound at its root with vicious snort
an enormous grizzly sprang up erect
out of the shadows and faced me with
jaws open. This apparition and the
sudden 'squatting' of my horse occu-
pied one second. Before the next sec
ond was over my horse had jumped

curve, turning three or four somer-
saults before struck the ground. My
gun had flown clear over the grizzly's
head and now lay on the other side of
him, and there l was with my leg brok-
en- above the knee.

will think of in some awful moment Of
sorrow or suspense? l lay there, try
ing to imagine whether John would

me over two or three times, and at last

broken leg and my tortured shoulder

blissful Inconsistencies. When I be-

Tho Tourist In Italy.

A yearly income of twenty million
dollars is handsome return to get for
the trouble of entertaining strangers.
This, it is said, represents the amount
of gold spent in Italy every year by
tourists and visitors from foreign coun-
tries. Travelling American millionaires
and others contribute about third of
the total amount; Englishmen and
others the remainder. The calculation,
which is made in report on Italian
trade issued by the British embassy, is
probably sufficiently correct. Italy OBJ
tains this amount of gold over and
above her earnings in other ways; and
the sojourner in the land is the only
gold mine. He is certainly exploited
with zeal and thoroug hness which it
would be difficult to surpass Perhaps
the opportunity might be taken to ask
that such a profitable customer should
be treated little more tenderly.

1t is difficult to-day to believe that
Americans and Englishnen were en-
gagged in actual hostilities within the
memory of men still living and that
there was talk of war between them
less than thirty years ago. The finan-
cial and commercial hearts of the two
countries have long been beating with
a common pulse and distance has been
SO annihilated by electricity that the
merchants of Liverpool and London,
New York and San Francisco may be
said to meet daily in one common ex-
change. The old saying that blood is
thicker than water is acquiring a new
significance almo st hourly. Every year
the social intercourse between the two
peoples is becoming more intimate.

How They Were Valued by the Early En-
glish Laws.


glish Laws.
The worth of dogs is variously es-
timated; in the ten tn century the Kings
buckhound being valued at fifteenpence
when born, and one pound when fully
trained; while "a herd dog is worth the
best OK, and whosoever may
possess a cur, though it be the king, its
value is fourpence Cats, however,
are priced without distinction, there
being probably but one breed Nor is
any extra value set upon those favored
cats, which, by reason of their royal
ownership, enjoyed the daily privilege,
accorded them prove rbially, of locking
at king. No matter to what family
or place it may belon g, ''the worth of
kitten from the night it is kittened until
it shall open its eyes, 10 legal penny,
and from that time until it shall kill
mice, two legal pence" fourpence be-
ing full value of cat, as OF sh eep, or
of goat. The qualities expected of
her are particularly catalo gued, and
the list of them runs thus; ''To see, to
hear, to kill mice, to have her claws
entire, to rear and not to devour her
kittens, and If she be boughtand be de-
ficient in any one of those teithi, let
one-third Of her worth be returned. -
