Some of .he most dangerous tricks
of animals r those of Stimulating
kindness. Charles Montague, in
"Tales of a Nomad," says that hyenas
often follow lions and finish a ar
cass the moment the lions have left
it. Sometimes, however, the hyenas
are too eager and steal bits of meat
while the lions are still at their meal.
81 have been told that the lion ribs
himself of the nuisance in the follow
ing way: He throws a piece of meat
aside. When the lion is looking the
other way, the hyena lodges in and
rushes off with the meat. Presently
the lion throws another piece of
meat, this time a little nearer The
hyena takes that also. At last the
lion throws a piece very nea indeed.
The hyena, having become reckless,
makes a dash at this also, but the
lion wheels round and lays him low
with a pat of his paw and a growl of
annoyance.
II remember at the Usutu Oh one
occasion hearing at night the cries of
a hyenai in pain, mingled with an &C.
casional short growl from a lion.
This went on for about 20 minutes.
The next morning we found the car
cass of a hyena bitten across the
neck and marked by the claws of
lions. They had evidently caught it
and played with it some time before
killing it. suppose this was done
in revenge for the annoyance they
had sustained from the hyenas."

There are plenty of well authenti-
Gated instances where horseshoes
have played important parts in saw
ing life, which possibly may have had
something to do with their being so
generally regarded as good luck
bringers. Among the collections Of
old English lore is an account Of
Queen Margaret watching from
Muckleston church tower the battle
of Blore Heath in 1859, and when the
L%ancastrian leader, Lord Audley, fell,
and the queen saw the battle would
be lost, she made her escape by hav-
ing her blacksmith reverse the shoes
of her horse, which SO misled her
pursuers that, having started unob-
served, she was successful in throw
ing them off her track and conse-
quently reached the bishop of Lich-
fields castle at Eccleshall in safety.
There was an incident or two con
nected with our late civil war, where
escape was effected in a similar way,
and Yankee ingenuity credited with
originating what this account shows
a women to have been bright enough
to make use of away back in the mid
die ages, and 80 years before Column
bus first started out to discover Amer
lea.
There are plenty of recorded in
stances where this stratagem has
proved successful in more recent
years, but this is the earliest of which
we can find any well authenticated
account.-American Horse Breeder.

Following are extracts from the
brief of Pros. Attny. Jos. A. Nc
Donald in the above entitled cause,
which cover the main points.
"Concisely stated, those facts pre-
sent the case of county officer de-
liberately violating the contract of the
county, duly made pursuant to law,
and deliberately violating the provi-
sions of Sec. 1898, G. S. They pre-
sent also one coming in and bidding
unsuccessfully for the contract, and
yet calmly taking the benefits that
could accrue from the subject matter
OF the contract, not in anywise bound
to faithful performance, and leaving
the onerons parts of the contract to
his successful competitor. 1t pre-
sents also that this was done not only
in violation of the legal contract Of
the county, but also in contemptous
disregard of the resolution of the
commissioners, called forth bv a prior
violation OF the contract, and in face
OF pending effort to prevent the
county being charged for the payment
of the alleged services rendered in
violation of the contract.
"From all the facts presented collu-
sion between the defendants can be
fairly inferred. and the conclusion
necessarily follows that the collision
was IN fraud of the rights of the
plaintiff.
