THE HUNTING LEOPARD.


An Animal, Swift as a Race Horse, Trained
to Follow Deer.
In few minutes, that to our anxious
minds seemed interminable, we managed
to diminish the distance to the requisite
point, and again the straps were liberated
The hood was then slipped from the che
tab $ head. He saw the animals at once,
His body quivercd all over with excite
ment the tail straiGaitened, aud the hac-
kles on his shotiideyss1t cod erect while his
eyes CLEANED, and he strained at the cord,
which was held short. In a second it was
G5tastened. there was a yellow >treak in
the air aud the chetah was crouching low
some yards away. In this position, and
taking advantage of certain uuevenness
OF the ground. which gave him cover, he
stealthily crcpt forward toward buck
that was feeding some distance away from
the others. Suddenly this antelope saw or
scented his enemy, for he was off like the
wind. He was, however, too late--the
chetah had been too quick for him. All
there was TO be seen was a FASH. as the
supreme rush was made. This movement
of the chetah is said to he. for the time it
lasts, the quickest thing i'll the animal
world far surpassirceie speed of race
horse. Certainly it surprised all of us
who were intently watching the details of
Che scene being enacted in our view. The
pace was so marvelously great that the
chetah actually sprang past the buck, al
though by this time the terrified animal
was fairly stretched out at panic speed.
This overshooting the mark by the chetah
had the effect of driving the antelope,
which swerved off Immediately from his
line, into running round in a circle, with
the chetah ON the outside.
The tongns We're galloped up, and the
excitement of the occupants can hardly be
described. In my eagerness to see the fin
ish, jumped off and took 10 running, but
the hunt was soon over, for before could
get quite up the chetah got close to the
buck, and with spring ut his launches
brought him to the ground. The leopard
then suddenly released his hold and sprang
at his victims throat. throwing his prey
over on its back. where it was held when
we arrived at the spot. The ehetah was
then crouching low, sucking the blood
from the jugular vein. while tcnaciously
clingipg with his mouth to the antclope's
throat. The buck gave only a few spas
modic jerks and appeared to be dead, al
though probably not so in reality. but
only paralyzed by fear. One of the men
stopped down and plunged a knife into
the bucks neck close to the spot where
the chetah still held fast. This coup de
grace not only terminated the poor things
existence, but caused the blood to flow
freely, which one of the men proceeded to
catch in large wooden bowl with long
handle, that he had brought for the pur.
pose. When this was full. the hood was
thrust over the chetah's eyes, his letters
We're replaced, and he was ultimately in
duced TO let go his hold of the antelope by
the bowl of steaming hot blood being
slipped under his nose Into this dainty
reward for his trouble he at once plunged
his head and with ferocious eagerness lap
ped up the whole of it.-Century.

psRlslAN TEA TABLE NOVELTIES.
The Butterfly Napkin Holder and New
Waiting Card Holder.

The Butte ray napkin Holder and New
Visiting Card Holder.
One of the latest Partisan tea table novel
ties is the butterfly napkin holder This is
a gilt. silver or bronze clasp made in the
shape OF a butterfy's body, ornamented
wAinnitation jewels. which likewise serve
for eyes The napkin itself is small, of
cor, and as fine and elaborate AS one
cI bses to make it. The one in the sketch
is Awhite linen, with a scalloped edge EN-
broidered in forgetmenot blue silk.
A spray of forgetmenots is embroidered
In each corner. The butterfly body has
sort of clamp or pin arrangement under
meath just large enough to hold the napkin
securely when the latter is gathered up in
the middle. These butterfly bodies come
also as menu holders. In that case the
menu card is shaped in such way as to
form the wings.
Another French fancy is a crescent shaped
holder for visiting cards. This may easily
be made at home by any one apt at fancy
work. A large crescent is cut out OF strong
pasteboard, and also another one somewhat

Rev. Henry Beer Thinks the Town
Pushing and Picturesque.

To the Editor: The writer had the
pleasure the latter part of last week
and the beginning of this, to spend
three days in St. Peter, and to his
surprise and pleasure, he found it a
town very little inferior to our own
town, IN lovely and picturesque seem

tween bluffs, wooded to their crown.
as in our own neighborhood, and of
course wherever there is wood and
water there is beauty of landscape.
OF the. town itself, the writer cannot
speak with much authority from such
a short visit, but it seems to be busy,
pushing little town, with railways on
each side of it as in our own case.
Two things that pleased me most,
we're a beautiful Episcopal church
and a first class hotel. The church
was good place to feed the soul, and
the hotel was first-class to feed the
body. Any person falling into the
hands of host Mcconnell of the Com
mercial, some time resident of Red
wood, will find himself we'll cared for.
One of the strange sights to visitor
is to meet load of patients from the
asylum. These unfortunates are TAX
en- out every day for a drive for the
good of their health. 1t was sad
dening to see them, but comforting to
know they were so we'll cared for.

St. Peter seem to average we'll with
the best in our neighborhood. Alto

in Green Lake county, Wisconsin, on
a farm in 1S59-born IA Republican.
Casper says. He remained there un
til he was Is years of age, doing farm
work and attending the district school.
In 1874 he went to Minneapolis, where
he spent the next year working at odd
jobs. In 1876 he went to Saltwater
and commenced work as mason, as
sisting in the construction of some of
the prison buildings at that place. Re-
naming there wear he returned to
st. Paul and Minneapolis, where he
spent the next four years learning the
machinists' trade. In 1882 he came
to Redwood county, settling on farm
in Springdale, and has conducted the
same with profit. Later he became a
member of the Republican county
committee and was an enthusiastic
worker in the ranks as private. Two
years ago he received the Republican
nomination for sheriff, and was elect
ed by over 200 majority. He has made
an excellent official, and all who have
business to transact at the sheriff's
office find him an obliging fellow,
prompt and exact.
He was married in 1882 to Miss An

THURSDAY, JULY rs, 1894.
pICn pATRONEssEs.
Mesdames Vanderbilt and morton
patronize Agency SQuaWs.

The question of finding suitable
employment for the Indians, especial
ly the squaws, has long perplexed
those interested in this fast vanishing
race. Work for the men has easily
been found, for they have been taught
to cultivate the fields in the more mod
ern way, thereby obtaining good IN
come, beside the government appor-
tionment of money. A few years ago
Mrs. Whipple, the deceased wife OF
Bishop Whipple, of this diocese. whom
the Indians loved almost to venera-
ton, in a conversation with friend,
deplored the fact that the squaws
were living in idleness. The friend
told Mrs. Whipple of Sibyl Carter,
who had studied lace making in Switz-
erland. This lady, whom the Indians
called Chante Washte, meaning "Good
WILL" at once opened school at the
Lower Sioux Agency. The Indian
women learned quickly and seemed
fascinated with the work. Miss Cart
er interested many of her New York
friends in the project,among them be-
ing Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt,wife of the
multi-millionaire, Mrs Levi P. Morton,
wife of ex-President Morton, and 9th
er wealthy ladies, ten of whom pro-
posed to give her $1,000 a year each.
Miss Carter returned to St. Paul where
she instructed class in lace making.
Soon after the members of the class
left for the Lower Sioux Agency, 60
ing from there to six other agencies,
where the Indians took up the work
gladly. A GAZETTE reporter recently
visited the Agency, eight miles east
of town. There he met a pleasant
faced lady, who has given her life to
this benevolent work of teaching the
Indians lace work. These schools are
the only ones in the United States
where lace making is taught. Enter
ing a large we'll lighted room, the
scene was busy one. Here were old
squaws, over eighty years old,who ap-
preciated earning money. They were
working on lace spread for Mrs
Levi P. Morton, which was exhibited
in the Woman's. Building, at the
Worlds Fair, when partly finished
and attracted a great deal of attention
The center design in the spread is a
maltese cross surrounded by flowers
and geometrical figures designed by
Miss Carter. The squaws show a
great deal of skill and taste in the in
tricate work. When it is finished they
will receive two hundred dollars for
their labor More orders have been
received for small pieces of the lace
work than they can fill.
