ter Of alleged hypnotic exhibitions !.
A Russian hypnotizer had an excellent

with another in an imaginary boat.

subjects to swim for their lives or
drown on the dry floor. One Of the
subjects was taken with a cramp.

and continued 10 strike out vigorous

The drowning subject grasped his
comrades hair and chung toit with the
desperation Of death. Then the inter-
esting struggle was interrupted by Wig
orous blows Of stout cane upon the
body of Jimmy

sturdy workingman, who proved to
be this subjects father, lis this what

Probably the most potent factor of
present-day ailments is the allegiance
into which the muscular system is
permitted to fall by dwellers in cities,
who are daily becoming more depend
ent on artificial means OF locomotion
and on labor-saving apparatus until
disorders of digestion and nervous
maladies are now as common among
the comparatively poor members Of
the community as they are among
those who are wealthy; indeed, while
the rich man endeavors to overcome
the mischief wrought by his sedentary
life by riding in the park or playing
golf, the poorer man, who Is unable to
afford these pleasurable exercises, neg
lects ms muscular development and in
variably mounts his omnibus or tum-
bles into his train rather than waste
the time necessary for brisk walk or

4 Horse KiIls a Cougar.

ma, Crook county, had rather start
ling adventure with cougar about
week ago. He was at the Hotel Per-
kins yesterday, and speaking Of his
experience to some friends, said:
Last Sunday morning mounted a
horse and went on hunting expedi-
ton to a place about twenty miles
from Perhama, taking with me an
Irish staghound and an English point
er. / brought down deer and
brown bear, which l left at farm
house, and bagged number of wild
pigeons and other fowl. While return
ing home about ten o'clock at night,
along a lonely road about five miles
from Perhama, noticed what seemed
to be two balls of fire in tree but
yard ahead of me, and which stood ont
foot or two from the road. At the
same instant my horse, which is what
is known in the Cow counties as m
original herder, drew up with a start
led neigh, almost throwing me from
the saddle. l took a close look at the
thing in the tree and saw that it was
cougar, crouched for spring.
As tried to unstrsp my rifle the
animal sprang, but missed its mark and
pissed just over the horses neck and
about two inches from me. It rolled
in the road, but recovered and sprang
again, this time at the horse's throat.
The horse bucked, and threw me to
the ground, half stunning me. The
cougar then rushed upon me, but the
stag hound, which had been standing
by, baying furiously, corrslled it.
There was a brief bat terrific fight,
and the dog lay dead not five feet from
me- The pointer had disappeared,
while the horse stood, trembling in
every limb. The pantheragain sprang
at him, landing upon his back, and
away the horse went.

utes, unstrapped my rifle, and started
in pursuit Five hundred Yards frem.

horse standing still and the cougar
lying dead at his feet. The horse
bore marks Of the cougars claws upon
his back, and his flesh was torn in sew
eral places The cougars head was
smashed, presumably by the horses
heels l cannot account for the re
suit of the strange encounter except
by the theory that limb Of the large
oak tree, hanging low and directly
over the road, struck the cougar and
swept it off the horses back, and the
horse took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to trample him to death. The
horse is vicious, as all original herd
ers' are. These horses have been
known to fight for hours until one or
the other fell. but THE is the first time
have heard OF one fighting a cougar.

it as a memento Of the encounter.
The horse was not badly injured and
will soon be ready for service again.
