Hunting Leopard.

Example of the Great Intelligence of the
Hunting Leopard.
When Jack Norton was IL years old
he ran away to sea and there suffered
shipwreck times enough to be willing
to be land lubber. When he was 40
years old he was bound for Africa,
where one day the wind decided to
rule, and for hours nothing could gain
say the power that swamped the boat
and left the men struggling for life
This proved to be Jacks last voyage,
for he found the country so much to
his liking that ne decided 10 stay. He
had been hunting with some of the ma
tives when he CHANGED to kill chez
tab which had two beautiful kittens.
One of these he raised for pet and
the graceful cat-dog loved its master
most devotedly. One day Jack was i'll,
and Don, the cheetah, seemed to know
1t, for he was constantly near him, and
would often lick his masters face and
then, putting his head on the edge of
the bed, would watch Jack tenderly
Feeling that he was growing worse and
wishing that some one would come, he
said: "Oh. dear, DON go fetch DR.. Hill
top, good Don!' Then with his dog in
telligence he seemed to understand.
DR.. Hilton sat reading that evening
when suddenly he heard a scratching
and whining at the door. On opening
it there stood Don. Very much sur
prised to see him so late, the doctor
thought he would keep him till morn
ing, but no, the faithful creature be-
gan to miaw and scratch at the door,
then run back to the doctor, pulling
his coat and acting so strangely that
DR.. Hilton thought something must be
wrong. Putting on his coat to see
what was amiss, says the Chicago
Times, he followed Don to the door,
who at once bounded with JOY, running
ahead, then back again. doing all he
could to hurry his companion Soon
they reached the place where Jack lay
moaning. We'll. / declare" said the
doctor, as he administered to the sick
man, that cheetah Of yours is worth
his weight in gold.

FATE FORETOLD IN A DREAM.

Convict in the Ohio Pcniteneiary Has
One Arm Torn from Ills Body
While asleep in his cell in the Ohio
penitentiary two weeks ago, Ira Coop
er, in a dream. suffered the pain OF
having an arm amputated. The next
night he passed through in reality the
tortures that disturbed his mind in the
dream. The prisoner was employed in
the hoe shop, and just before complct-
ing his days work he attempted to re-
place a belt while the machinery was
in motion. His left arm was caught
and he was hurled by the betting into
the shafting above. In an instant the
rapidly revolving shafting tore the
arm from the body about two inches
below the socket, throwing the de-
tached member across the room and
allowing the body TO fall to the floor.
The skin was stripped from the back.

everything that belongs to the animal
side of life, her inner saint-like purity
enveloped in a husk which is by con-
vention no less than by religion stigma

out with clearness that is most con-

TO RESCUE HomEKcMELoDlEs
W. V. Byars Makes a Discovery of In
terest TO scholars.

tereSt TO scholars.
". Y. Byars, formerly a St. Louis
newspaper man, but now of South
Orange, N. j., Gle inns TO have discovered
a method of reScuing the Homeric
melodies that have been lost by the
shifting of accent. His plan is a novel
~ in classical Interpretation, and dia
met-icaIly opposed 10 the methods pur-
sued in colleges and universities. He
says: ITO get at the melodies of Hor-
ace or amy other classical author, drop
all English ideas of accent, stress each
syllable equally, give every vowel it's
distinct sound, and divide the verse so
as to bring out the most and best
rhymes. 1t will then fall into beauti-
fully balanced lines. ending in rhymes
as ours do, but with initial and medal
rhymes forward and backward that
our poems do not have. The division
of the verse. as it is now printed. must
be ignored" BY this new process MIR.
Byars claims that new meanings and
rhythmic beauties may be discovered
in the classics, and that an adherence
to this rule simplifies Interpretation.
He adds: II have already seen a waltz
danced in perfect time to the tune of an
old Greek song played on the piano.
/ can interpret the Horatian meters
by the aid of my little girl playing the
piano wherever my own ear fails me-"
No more interesting discovery to sc,cl-
ars has been made since Donnelly's

not agree. perhaps. with the conclusions
at which he arrives, though this is
improbable, because he is, so far as
remember, consistently on the side of
morality; what is more probable is that
you may object TO the subjects with
which he deals; that you may say,
However admirable the lesson, the
stage is not the place for such sort
of instruction" This must often be a
disputed question. There are some top
les which by common consent of all de-
cent folk are tabooed, while there are
others concerning which opinions will
differ. But in very truth it is not usu-
ally the theme which shocks but the
manner in which it is treated. and for
my own part, l believe that a fairy tale
as set forth with innuendo and smart
pruriency by some OF our modern auth
ors is far more dangerous than the most
delicate of social problems when nan.
