KILLED THE CATAMOUNTS.
A Preachers Encounter After Stealing
Pair of kittens.

n Pnir of Kittens.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Rev DR.. Daniel Huds on Is a well-known
Campbellite preacher of San Bernardino
county. He has sought souls among the
hardest mining camps and the toughest
numbering localities among the mountains
Of Arizona and southern California for two
decades. He had an uncommon experience
the other day as he was coming on horse
back down the grade of the San Jacinto
mountain. He saw at the edge of the
chaparraI two little catamount kittens
playfully rolling and tumbling over one
another on the creek bank.
The preacher wanted to catch the pretty,
bob-tailed, innocent-looking punches of
fluff and fur alive and to take them home
as curioSitieS. He succeeded, and consign-
ed them to one side Of the saddlebags, the
contents Of which consisted of hymn books
and Bibles. Mr.. Hudson started his horse
for the house Of the nearest neighbor, a
distance of six miles or more. The rev.
erend gentleman was riding slowly along
through the deepening gloom of the forest.
in thoughtful, housekeeping mood, when
q shrill screech behind him and up the
mountain side reminded him that it was
growing dark and there was rapidly ap-
preaching prospect of a fight with the
parents of the kittens.
Dismounting, he secured heavy hickory
club before the cats arrived, but not any
too soon. both the old cats appeared at
the same time in the road ahead of the
preacher. They had undoubtedly scented
the kittens and made directly for their cap
tor. One of the catamounts, an unusually
large and ferocious male, made a spring for
the .iomnie's throat, but received a whack
with the hickory which laid him on his
back. Before DR.. Hudson could recover
his guard the female caught him by the
shoulder as 1t leaped and raked him, tear
ing a section of his coat and about six
inches of his skin and flesh into ribbons.
By this time the male had got on his feet
again, and both cats prepared to spring at
once. Hudson, seeing that the affair was
getting serious. backed UP against tree
and awaited their onslaught. He didn't
have to wait long, as the male, snarling
with rage, made q leap at his throat. while
the female crept to one side as If to flank
him. This fact saved the preacher. as it
gave him time to receive the biggest one,
which he skillfuIly did by jumping to the
right and striking it as it struck the tree
where he had Just stood. The blow knock
ed it senssless. The female made flying
leap, but another quick movement allow
ed her to strike the base of the tree where
the preacher had stood. He gave 1t one
hard blow on the side, but slipped and fell,
when the cat buried her teeth and claws in
his Leg 1t was now a rolling, tumblng
fight for a very brief period, but the DOM
inie's good luck did not desert him. He
finally killed both animals.

From the Youths Companion.
The gift of the Irish peasant for making
expressive and humorous phrases is not
by any means a fiction Of literature. A
clerical traveller in Cavan not long ago
asked a peasant how far 1t was to a GER
tain village and was answered 1.-Two miles"
What! Only two E1iles?" said the travel
err who had before found it long road.
''Well, your reverence" answered the peas
ant, cit is two miles strong and rich. so to

by one of Lord Zetland's party. They were
waves were dashing over the boat. The
gentleman referred to had been assured
that an Irish peasant, if treated well, will
always agree with what is said to him.

one of the boatmen. The answer came
through the bowling Of the elements. Every

There are some excellent portraits in this

in a bold, dashing manner, which assures

was striving for. and gives also the pleas

ONE of the greatest natural wonders OF
the United States is q solid mountain OF
rock salt which is situated on an island
IN a sea marsh in Southe, Louisiana.
1t lies near the River Teche, on the
route leading from Brashear to New
Iberia, and is said to be the most gigantic
mass Of exposed rock salt known to
exist. The Salt Peak IS about 1856 feet
in height, and mining engineers who
have recently visited it say that there is
not less than 90, OOO,O 900 tons of the pure
saline crystal in sight.
