A Poet Who Told "StOries."

The poet Shelley as boy was pos
tessed of marvellous imagination. So
wonderful, indeed, was it that it gave
his parents many an anxious hour. de
would recount imaginary scenes and
conversations as though they were ac-
tual, and it really seemed as though he
were unable to distinguish between the
little fictions of his imagination and
actual fact. This characteristic was
strong with Shelley throughout his not
very long life, and frequently gave rise
to unfortunate complications between
himself and those who did not under
stand his nature and abits,--Harptr

What is the reason that Japan has no

Gus luxury.
The habits of living are in all classes
much the same, and the rich do not out
shine the poor by carriages, palaces and
Jewelry. The rich spend their money on
clrios, which. if these are costly, is liglit-
ed, and the most popular agitation is
against the big European houses winch
ministers build Tor themselves. Wealthis

Death by u Horse.
j. P. Jones, vino lives near Perhama,
Crook county. had a rather startling ad-
venture with a cougar. He was speak
ing of his experience to some friends and
said:
Il mounted a horse and went on a
hunting expedition to a place about 20
miles from Perhama, taking with me an
Irish staghound and an English pointer.
! brought down a deer and a brown
bear, which | left at a farmhouse, and
bagged a number of wild pigeons and
other fowl. While returning home
about 10 o'clock at night along a lonely
road about five miles from Perhama. !
noticed what seemed to be two balls OF
fire i'll a tree but a yard ahead of me,
n which stood but "A foot or two from
the road. AT the same instant my horse.
which is what Is known in the COW
counties as an original herder,' drew
up with a startled neigh. almost throw
ing me from the saddle. | took a close
o at the thing in the tree and saw that
1t was a cougar crouched for a spring.
As | tried to unstrap my rifle the an
lmal sprang, bu missed its mark and
passed just over the horses neck and
about two inches from M. 1t rolled in
theroad. but recovered an sprang again,
this time at the horse throat. The
horse bucked and threw me to the
ground, half stunning me. The cougar
then rushed upon m, but the stag
hound, winch had beer standing by, BAY

brief but terrific tisll. and the dog lay
dead not five feet from me. The pointer
had disappeared. while the horse stood
trembling Ill every limb. The panthe.

back. and away thu horse went.
Il recovered my feet III ii few minutes,
u~nstrapped my rife and started in par
suit. Five hundred yards from the scene
of the encounter found the horse stand
ing still and the cougar lying lead ii,

cougars claws upon his back. and his
flesh was torn III several places. The
cougars head was smashed, presumably
by the horses heels. | cannot account

except by the theory that IA limb of a

swept 1t off the horses back, and the
horse took advantage of the opportunity
To trample him to death. The horse Is
