parilla is almost beyond expression. For
3oyears l have been a victim of scrofulous
humor, and four years ago the humor came
out on my leg and made very bad sore.
Several doctors said that l could not be
cured of the sore until had the leg taken
off. My wife procured bottle of DR..
Dana's Sarsaparilla and l commenced to
take it, using DIR. Dana's Ointment in
connection with it. l then began to gain
strength, and the sore began to heal. My
health improved rapidly, and soon re-
gained my strength SO that could do a
days work. have the ugly looking scar
on my leg yet, and few times it has
begun to itch and threaten trouble, but
avoided any further difficulty by taking a
little of DR.. Dana's Sarsaparilla.

He saw, above the ledge and . little
beyond, the ears and head of a lion a. IL
sat watching the deer. Jake rose in
his saddle to place a bullet, as ho said,
midway between those ears, when .
powerful lion leaped from behind a trea
on the ledge OF rock above and, striking
him in the chest carried him off his horse,
headlong down the mountain, and his
horse ran wildly away. A moment later
Jake was lying on his back in the snow,
his head up hill and the beast standing
over him with one paw planted firmly
on his chest, the other slightly lifted,
and wagging it's tail in delight, while
It's hot breath was exhaled into Jakc's
face.
His first impulse was to hold down his
chin tightly, to prevent his throat be.
ing torn open, while he cautiously felt
for his knife. He found the knife and
as he drew it slight grating sound
caused the lion to rebound at his feet
and as it did it uttered a scream
which Jake knew only gave him the
chance of a moment. 1t was a call for
the other lion. Fearing to make Q
motion of escape or resistance he novel
his hand back in the snow in search Of
his rifle, which had been lost in the fall
His finger touched the stock. He cau-
tiously pulled it down by his side and
still looking his captor straight in tho
eyes slowly turned the rifle till its
muzzle faced the lion. The bullet passed
through it's heart and it sank on Jakc's
feet. Before he could move from his
helpless position the other lion bounced
over the precipice and somewhat over
leaping it's mark lit in the snow and in
stantly received bullet in it's brain.
The two lions lay dead not ten feet
apart.-Outing.

Neither had any of the bank employees ever

is a mystery and every effort is being made
to identify him. The accepted theory is
that he was crazy. The shooting created
