Hairbreadth Escape from the Clutches
of n Hungry Beast
He saw, above the ledge and little
beyond, the ears and head of lion as
1t sat watching the deer, says Outing.
Jake rose in his saddle to place bull
let, as he said, midway between those
ears, when powerful lion leaped from
behind a tree 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 its tail In delight, while
its hot breath was exhaled into Jake's
face. His first impulse was to hold
down his chin tightly, to prevent his
throat from being torn open, while he
cautiously felt for his knife. He found
the knife and as he drew It a slight
grating sound caused the lion to re-
bound at his feet and as he did so 1t
uttered a scream which Jake knew
only gave him the chance Of moment.
1t was call for the other Hon. Fear
ing to make a motion of escape or re-
sistence he moved his hand back In the
snow In search of his rife, which had
been lost in the fall. His fingers touch
ed the stock. He cautiously pulled 1t
down by his side and still looking his
captor straight in the eye slowly
turned the rife till its muzzle faced
the lion. The bullet passed through Its
heart and II sank on Jake's feet. Be
fore he could move from his helpless
position the other lion bounded over the
precipice and somewhat overlapping its
mark lit in the snow and instantly re-
ceived bullet in It's brain. The two
lions lay dead not ten feet apart.

Three Harvard IAtternseurs.

Apropos of the current discussion
about college men In literature, 1t is
we'll to consider the achievements of
owen Wister, Charles +. Lummis. and
Theodore Roosevelt, who are graduates
of Harvard Of the years 1882, 1881. and
1880, respectively, and who are al
about thirty-ive years old. Mr.. Wister
bids fair to become eminent through
his tales Of Western and Southwestern
life. Mr.. Lummis has done we'll ON the
outskirts Of the same territory, and MI.
Roosevelt might have become a good
historian If politics had not diverted
his attention from literature. IN an
era Of fewer printing presses and less
literary aspiration their work would
have much more attention than x has.

Very Many OF Our Young Men Are
Good Riders.

Good Riders.
The foreign-born citizens who have
been engaged as riding instructors at
the various riding schools in and
around New York and elsewhere have
not been hesitant in their disparaging
remarks of the American cavalry says
the Rider and Driver While the United
States does not boast of large stand
ing army, we have no hesitancy in say
ing that the few regiments of cav
airy that have seen service on the plains
will not only compare favorably with
the mounted men of other nations, but
that for the particular kind of work to
which they have been trained they are
without equals in the world. We havo
had no reason to keep men in training;
but If put to the test we could certainly
raise magnificent army in a very short
time. Unlike the early days Of the re-
cent rebellion, we would have plenty of
horsemen to call upon.
Whereas in earlier days equestrian
ism was unknown, comparatively
speaking, it has in latter days become
SO general as a means of exercise, recre-
alton and health that old and young are
fairly good riders. The various sports
OF polo, hunting and racing have served
to stimulate interest in equitation. The
militia troops themselves and the best
militia troops formed throughout the
country. notably squadron A of New
York. are also factors.
All Of these sources would be drawn
upon for officers, rather than for private
soldiers. They do not represent large
number in comparison with tho force
necessary to cope with foe. but they
would certainly prove valuable
nucleus on which TO build.
The argument is used against us that
the citizen soldier would stand no
show with the trained and disciplined
soldier Of Great Britain. We must ad-
NIT that the odds would be against us
at first in the same ratio that maintains
In any contest where the amateur meets
the professional. However, we may find
consolation In the fact that the general
average Of intelligence would prove
weighty advantage IN our favor when
once we had set our minds and bodies to
the task Of becoming professional.
