KILLED A LION.
Remarkable Performance of a Cool and Brave
Woman.

From the door of her residence four
miles up the saltwater, Mrs. Pat Goa
nell shot and killed a large mountain
lion a few mornings since, says the
Saltwater Bulletin. Hearing ar un-
usual commotion at the COW corral
Mrs. Donnell stepped to the door to
ascertain the cause, when she saw the
lion nearing the corral, evidently in
TEN upon securing a tat calf for break
fast. Her husband was not at home,
but nothing daunted she concluded to
try issues with Mr.. Lion with a Win
chester, and with all the nerve and
GOODNESS of an old hunter took aim at
the beast and fired, when she had the
satisfaction to see it drop dead in it's
tracks. She aimed to shoot it through
the heart, and upon examination it
was found the bullet had sped true to
the mark, splitting that organ in
twain. Considering the distance, 1oO
yards, this is a most extraordinary
shot for a lady to make, and wedoubt
very much if there is a man in the
county that could equalit. Mrs. Con-
nell is deserving of much credit and
praise for the GOODNESS and courage
displayed and is to be complimented
upon her splendid craftsmanship.
The lion was one of the largest of its
species, measuring wen feet in length
and weighing over 200 pounds.
1t had been committing numerous
depredations recently, having killed a
colt belonging to Alex. Hundley and a
number of calves belonging to other
ranchmen of the neighborhood. Mr.,
Cornell brought the carcass to town
and disposed of it to Mr.. Mayes, who
will have the skin tanned and a robe
made of it.

Perhaps some OF our readers would like
to know in what respect Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better than any other.
We will tell you. When this remedy is
taken as soon as a cold is contracted, and
before it has become settled 10 the system.
it will counterfeit the effect OF the cold and
greatly lessen it's severity, il not effectualIy
cure the cold in two days time, and it is
the only remedy that will do this. 1t acts
in perfect harmony with nature and aids
nature in relieving the lungs, opening the
secretioDs, liquefying the mucus and caus-
ing it's expulsion from the air cells OF the
lungs and restoring the system to a strong
and healty condition. No other remedy in
the market possesses these remarkable
properties. No other will cure a cold sc
quickly or leave the system in SO sound a
condition. For sale by all druggists.

JoVo's Service,

Charles 2. Johnson in Temple Bay.
Love called to a young man wInningly,
Come, join tie ranks OF my company
And take the field in my service
But the young man said, There are other
things
Than bushes and kisses and flowers and rings.
OF far more worth than your service.
There's business and sport and pleasure and
Your war is mere folly, your weapon a dart;
I've no time to spare for your service.
Love turned lightly away when he heard the
OF young volunteers there were more than
enough
To All up the ranks of his service
But time, passing by, made clear to the man
That they are the wisest who join when they
can
The worshipful ranks of Loves service.
So he offered to Love his jewels and coin;
Forgetting bis age, be thought he would join
The throng who pressed TO Loves service
But Love answered lightly, 1.-THE day has
gone by.
sore autumn leaf is TOO old and to dry
For garland worn in my service.

And perhaps 1t may seem, If you try very

From taking the oaths OF my service.
