Novel Form of Receipt Adopted by u
Pcnnsylvania Business Woman.
Forms Of business expression have
become so stereotyped that a departure
from the ordinary always creates sur
prise. For this reason the Pittsburg
Disnatch makes note of an original IT,
ceipt given to a resident of that city
in the course of a transaction in horses.
,Ihc citizen had heard of a team that
he thought would suit him at a point
many miles from the railroad. He
managed to find the place, and dis
covered that the owner of the horses
was q woman-One who had made a
success of farming, and evidently had
exalted ideas regarding the fair sex's
adaptability for managing business.
After great deal Of bargaining, in
" hich the woman eEdeavored to show
off that superior skill which had made
her successful, while other farmers Of
the sterl,er sex had failed all about
her, the price was agreed upon. "Well,
I'll give you my check for the amount, =
said the East Ender. 'You don't
catch me that way" retorted the wo-
man. Il want cash-ccld money-or
you can't take the horses The gen
tleman told her he did not have that
amount with him, but would send it
out to her the following day. The
next day he di spatched his ccachnan
for the horses with the money and told
him to bring him receipt. The coach
man brought the horses and a piece OF
paper back. On the slip of paper was
| written: you got the horses; got the
money! and signed by the owner
| Of the horses.

THE HUNTING LEOPARD.
An Animal Swift as n Ruce-HOrse
Trained to Follow Deer

Trained to Follow Deer,
In few minutes, that to our anx.
lOuS minds seemed interminable, VIC
managed to diminish the distance to
the requisite point, and again the straps
were liberated. The hood was then
slipped from the chetah'S head. He
saw the animals at once; his body
quivered all over with excitement, tho
tail Strengthened and the hackles or
his shoulders stood erect, while his
eyes cleaned, and he strained at the
cord, which was held short In
second 1t was unfastened, there was
yellow streak in the air, and the
cl1etah was crouching low some yards
away. In this position, and taking
advantage of certain uneVenness OF
the ground which gave him cover. he
stealthily crept forward toward 4
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 flash, as the supreme
rush was made. This movement of the
chetah is said to he, for the time it
world, far surprising the speed Of a
race horse. Certainly it surprised all
Of us, who were intently watching the
details of the scene being enacted in
our view. The pace was so marvel
ously' great that the chetah actually
sprung past the buck, although 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,
Whichswerved off Immediately from
it's line, into running round in circle,
with the chetah on the outside.
The tongas were galloped up, and
the excitement of the occupants can
hardly be described. In my eagerness
to see the finish, jumped off and took
to running, but the hunt was soon over,
for before I could get quite up, the
chetah got close to the buck, and with
spring at his launches, brought him
to the ground. The leopard then sud
denly released his hold and sprang at
his victims throat, throwing his prey
| over on it's back, where it was held
when we arrived at the spot. The
| chetah was then crOucling low, suck
ing the blood from the jugular vein,
while tenaciously clinging with his
mouth to the antelOpe's throat. The
buck gave only few spasmodic jerks
and appeared to be dead. although
probably not so in reality, but only
paralyzed by fear. One of the men
stopped down and plunged 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 i'll a large wooden
bowl with long handle, that we had
brought for the purpose. When this
was full, the hood was thrust over the
chetah's eyes, his letters were replaced
and he was ultimately induced to lei
20 his hold of the antelope by the bow
of steaming hot blood being slipped
under his nose. Into this dainty re
ward for his trouble he at once plunged
his head, and with ferocious eagernes:
