A LION ON THE LOCOMOTIVE.
He Was Only Mountain Lion, But No
 body Disturbed Him.

body Disturbed Him.
 Last winter when the snowstorms were so fearful throughout the noun tains in Utah and the earth was cov- cred with snow to the depth of five to ten feet and remained hidden so long the wild animals were forced to desper- ation. The wolves, says the Detroit Free Press, were starved and weak, and what is known as the mountain lion almost perished from starvation. Its great strength failed it and man with a knife could soon take the life of an animal that short time before could hold powerful OK or horse and make meal of his flesh.
 The hungry animals after awhile dis covered that food was to be had along the railroad track, where passengers threw bones and scraps of victuals from passing trains. Often two starv- ing coyotes would engage in deadly combat over a chicken bone that had short time before been ridden of it's last vestige of nourishment by some economical person who did not care to pay seventy-five cents for meal. This was the condition of things.
 Engineer Cast had charge of engine No. 151, which was known as ''the helper" from the fact that it helped trains up the mountain and when at the summit cut off and dropped back down to the bottom ready to help an other. One night when business on the road was slack Cast noticed some thing wrong with the gearing under the tender and remarked to the fire man that they would get off and repair it. When half way down the noun tain side he brought the engine to a standstill, and the two men went to work at what proved to be a twenty minutes job packing hot box on the tender. The tallow pot was left at the boilers head
 After completing the repairs the men were mounting the engine again, only to see huge mountain lion devouring the tallow and holding full possession of the engine cab. It was cold night and the snow drifting. The men had already remained outside until they were very cold, and the chances of dis possessing MT. Lion were very meager, as he snapped his teeth and flashed his eyes and fast stored the tallow out of sight. The only consolation the men had was that the tallow would not last long at that rate, and even this thought was not entirely satisfying, as they had no way of determining that one of them would not go the same way at the conclusion of the tallow feast Finally, after fifteen minutes further delay, the tallow pot was empty, and giving a growl, as much as to say: T am very thankful, gentle men, and you ought to be-" the animal leaped from the cab and disappeared in the hills

One of England's Oldest Trees.

One of the oldest trees standing in England is the ''Tortworth' chestnut, which, as far back as the reign of Stephen, in 1135, was so remarkable for it's size and antiquity that it was recog- nized as the terminal boundary of the manor of Tortworth in Gloucestershire The wondrously old tree was cited by Dr. Ducard in his controversy with Daines Harrington as a convincing proof of the chestnut being indigenous to Great Britain. It is supposed to have attained it's maturity in the reign of Egbert. In 1766 the Tortworth chest nut was fifty feet in circumference and fifty-two feet high, and many more centuries of tranquil existence were predicted for it.

SAMOAN FUNERALS.
The Profuse Ceremonials Observed When
 Death Occurs.


 In Samoa it is impossible for chief to die in peace and quiet. As soon as he is known to be near death, the people for miles around hasten to pay him a farewell visit. On one such occasion, according to writer in Outing, the visitors, all of whom had to be enter. tained, devoured seven hundred pigs.
 When death finally occurs, the rela- tives and friends come with their offer ings of fine mats. Singly, or in small groups, they present the tokens of their sorrow to some old woman, deputed to receive them. The mats are spread over the corpse, until in some in- stances hundred or more are piled up, entirely hiding the body from sight. They excite more attention than the dead chief, and after the burial are hung up for inspection.
 Every mat has a name and history, and though the outsider could not easily distinguish one from another, yet the elderly people recognize them at first sight, and relate bits of history about each, as it is exposed to view.
 After the funeral is over, within a day or two, there is i grand meeting for division of the mats. Every one who brought mat expects to take away one-a better one. All hands are seated in circle, and the mats are piled up in the center.
 The head of the family, who is al ways high chief, opens folded mat. All look at it carefully, discuss it's mer- its and value, mention its various own CTS at different times and the great oc- casions at which it has figured, and the name of the donor on the present oc casion.
 Then the head of the family calls the name of some person who is in the circle, to intimate that the mat is given to him, or her, as the case may be- The recipient takes the mat, lifts it, and presses it to the top of the head, at the same time expressing audible thanks. The entire heap of mats is parcelled out in the same manner

Rev. Mr.. Long, of ithaca, has pur-
chased lot on the block donated by
Mrs. Lancashire to the College and will

mail. Persons who wish to rent rooms
are reqested to notify him at once sc
that he may direct students when they
arrive.

Birthday Anniversary.

For more than a year past Geo. ii.
Yerington, the popular postmaster and
druggist of Springfield, has been musi-
cal director for the Eugene Cornet Band.
He is held in high esteem by the boys
and their friends, and they conceived IA
plan for a surprise party on the occasion
of bis 37th birthday anniversary. With
the assistance of Mr.. Yerington's esti
mable wife, arrangements were perfect
ed and last evening were carried into
effect. Those members of the band
who are present in the city, together
with several lady and gentleman friends,
drove over from here and were joined
at the Yerington residence by several
Springfield friends. When the Prof.
returned from his evenings bicycle ride
he was greeted with a selection of mu-
sic by the boys and was truly surprised
to End the assembly when he arrived at
the house.
The evening was spent in thorough
ly enjoyable manner, playing whist,
dancing to the delicate music of the
Mandolin Club, etc. Refreshments,
consisting of ice cream and cake, were
served later on and then the band dis
coursed more music. Mrs, Yerington
proved herself a model hostess, and
when the guests left for their homes
about midnight they all wished Mr.
Yerington many more anniversaries
and acknowledged tue enjoyable even
ing with various expressions of pleasure.

Patrons of the Public School,

School will open Monday morning.
1t is very important that all who eX-
pect to attend should be present at the
beginning. | can remember when it
took full week at least to get started
and that was frequently because the
pupils came dragging in at almost any
time and each one was TO be considered.
That is done away with now by careful
grading. The work is all assigned, pro-
grams made out and the amount to be
accomplished in each class during the
entire year determined upon long be-
fore the first bell rings. There is lit
tie reason then except the assignment
of lessons and the feeling of newness,
why lessons should not be prepared for
the llrst day. AS it is, everyone will be
expected to know what to do and to be
prepared to do it on Tuesday. Surely
eacn one needs the preliminary day.
There are some few changes in the
corps of instructors this year. On the
first floor Miss Bertha w. Stevens,
daughter of DR.. l. 5. Stevens, our art
ist, will succeed Miss Armstrong in the
kindergarten department. Miss Stew
ems graduated from the professional
course of the Kindergarten department
of Alma College two years ago, and has
since been employed in that work in
Florida at considerably larger salary
than we are able to give her. Her sue
cess as a teacher, her accomplishments
| i'm music and art as we'll as other good
qualities, lead me to hope that the
coming year will be a very good one in
that department. Miss Clara l.. Booth
will succeed Miss Reid in the fourth
grade. She is a graduate of our own
! High school, has done about two years
work in the College and has enjoyed
some veIy successful work in the dis
trict schools about US. She is bright
active and industrious and l trust will
give excellent service in her new rela
tion TO us On the upper floor we have
HUT one new instructor. Miss Bessie
lC. Mclean, Of Keesevile, y. Y, wa!
Tor four years a student in Alma Col
( Ieae, where she took good rank as
student, and from which she graduated
in '93. She was specially proficient il
science and mathematics and will as
sumo the work Of the latter department
She will have charge of the High Schoo
room, and if a successor to Miss Glass
must be found, l know of few NOR
worthy Of the trust.
In the assignment Of work there ar
also some changes. AS mentione,
above. the mathematics, last year il
charge of Miss Eisenlord, will be con
Quoted by Miss Mclean; while Mis-
Eisenlord will assume the Latin an
English work. Miss Burns will hav
science, geography and United State
history. Miss Gus will continu
i'm her former work with some sligh
changes in the High School assignment
4 The outlook is, at this time, yer
favorable indeed, so far as | am alb
