Mrs. Tyaeke, in her book, "How Shot
My Bears" has some things to say about
panthers, with which at different times
she has had no little to do. Along with
other things she tells this little story:
Panthsrs not infrequently attack men.
A curious case occurred to an acquaintance
Of ours a forest officer. He was walking
with friend along o forest road In the
middle of the day, with an umbrella over
his head to keep tho sun of, when at a
turn In the road they came upon PAN
ther.
The officer was unarmed, and Pemember-
ing the time honored story he undertook
to scare the panther away by pointing the
umbrella at him and opening and shut
ting 1t. Instead of running away, how
ever, the panther charged the officer,
knocked him down and stood over him.
The second man In the meantime had
taken to his heels, and the officers case
looked desperate, but for some reason the
panther did not improve his opportunity.
While the prostrate officer was wondering
where the beast would set his tooth first
he turned away, leaving the man consider
ably upset In more ways than one, but on
tirely uniniured.

Duplicate whist being the mode Of the
game, the same hands win be played
