A Thrilling Adventure.

Ezra Thomas, prospector of Shasta
County where he is known as the
"Mountain Boy'O, had an exciting nd
venture on Sunday last in the neigh
borhood of Taylor's Flat. While
leisurely walking along the trail with
his pick on his shoulder his attention
was suddenly called to the fact that
something was running along behind
him. On turning around he saw a
deer coming on the dead run and with
i'll few feet of him. He stepped
aside, and, as the deer reached him,
he struck it on the head with his pick,
the point of which was embedded deep
in the deer's forehead The deer
dropped dead. No sooner had he dis
patched the deer than his attention
was again directed to the trail over
which the deer had come, when, to his
utter astonishment and alarm, he saw
huge California lion bounding along
after the deer. The Mountain Boy"
had barely time to step aside to give
the animal the right of way and get
his pick in readiness for an attack
when the lion came leaping to where
he was. He made lick Mt the ami
mails head with the pick, but as the
lion was going at such velocity he
missed his mark and struck one of the
lions hind legs, breaking it. The lion
with savage growl and swapping its
teeth in rage bounded away on three
legs and disappeared. The dead deer
was brought to the residence of J. d.
Hayward, where it served to satisfy
the cravings of the inner man.

"wHERE HELEN SITS."'


Where Helen sits, the darkness is so deep,
No golden sunbeam strikes athwart the
gloom
No mothers smile, no glance OF loving eyes,
Lightens the shadow of that lonely room.
Yet the clear whiteness OF her radiant soul
Decks the dim walls, like angel yestments
shed.
The lovely light OF holy innocence
Shines like a halo round her Blended head
Where Helen sits.
Where Helen sits, the stiffness is so deep,
No children's laughter comes, no song ol
bird.
The great world storms along its noisy way,
But in this place no sounl is ever heard
Yet do her gentle thoughts make melody
Sweeter than au;ht from harp or vioi nunS +;
And Love and Beauty, quiring each to each,
Sing rs the stars of Eden's morning sung,
Where Helen sits.

PROPER WAY TO COOK POTATOES.

of cooking potatoes. They never boil
them. A large pot is always on the
fire, steady, slow fire, and on every
occasion when the contents come to the
very verge of boiling, cold water il
dashed in and the operation is, in Irish
phraseology, "backed." The process
is continually repeated till the potatoes
are cooked. You get by this means an

CRIMINAL FOLLY

The utterances of bankers, jobbers
and other active business men, on the
present situation in st. Paul, while val
liable, might he considered warped by
personal interests. The GLOBE. there
fore, especially urges perusal of Arch
bishop IRELAND'S views and advice as
given elsewhere.
His utteranceS were solicited by this
paper because the archbishop is outside
of active business circles, but possesses
clear business ideas, which, if followed,
will advance the public interests.
There is no occasion tor alarm, much
less panic. One large and two or three
small banks have stopped business until
they can collect some of the money due
them.
They have not failed. They are not
bankrupt. DepositOrS are not in dan
ger of suffering loss from any of the st.
Paul banks, and it is crime against
themselves and the public for those
who do not really require their money
to draw it from the banks TO be boarded.
The men who do this invoke idleness
and starvation for themselves and fam
lilies.
The homely saying: "You cannot
have your cake and eat it, too" applies
in this case.
You cannot cripple or destroy the
banks by boarding your money and ex-
pect business to continue and give you
employment and an income.
This senseless drain has brought one
disaster TO the city, and it should be
stopped before more follow in its wake.
