The Lion Got Loose.

The Lion Got Loose.
In the early part of this century Kaid
Mamon. a governor of Taugier, was
taking a journey thitber. carrying a
large lion I'm cage borne by four mules
as a present from the Sultan TO the
King of Portugal. One evening, after
the tents had been pitched and Kaid
Maimon was resting on a divan in his
pavilion. he heard neighing of horse
rs. and then u trampling and stampede
of the animals tethered outside. He
clapped his hands 10 summon the at
tendants. but for few moments no
one came. Then appeared his prison
er, the lion, glaring fiercely as he ap-
preached.
Kaid MaimOn was very courageous
man. and while the lion was adyanc-
ing there was time to think of many
things. 1t was of no use to draw his
sword; and moreover, il he should sue
ceed in killing the lion, the Sultan
would probably cut off his own head
in return So he sat perfectly still. and
addressed the creature by the name
which had been given him.
"You are brave fellow. Maimon,"
said he, ito leave your cage and take
walk this fine evening. o judicious
enjoy yourself!' For the creature,
pleased with the Kaid's voice. had be
gun to roll upon the carpet. 80 brav-
est and most trustworthyr'
And now the lion had risen, rubbed
himself catlike against his host, and
lain down with his head upon the
Kaid's knee.
Brave though he was, the Kaid shud
dered, and the perspiration of fear
broke out upon him. Not a sound was
to be heard in the camp, save the terri
fed neigh Of a horse which had not
been able to escape with the others,
and which still scented the lion.
Maimon woke, stretched himself, and
put out his long, terrible claws. He
stalked toward the door, lashing his
tail. At its first movement the Kaid's
turban was knocked off, and in replac-
ing it he muttered to himself:
II hope this visit is coming to an
end May it be the last of the kind L
| shall ever receiver
The horse, meantime, had succeeded
in galloping away, and the lion broke
at once into pursuit. He overlook his
victim in two bounds, and laid him low
with lacerated sides and bleeding
throat While he was thus engaged,
the Kaid escaped from the back of his
tent and managed to summon his men,
who, half a mile away, were huddled
together with the horses and mules.
''The first man who runs away
| again." said he, Il will bastinado till
the breath is out of his body"
And no one attempted to run. For
though remaining might mean death,
| the bastipadO was horrible certainty.
| So they waited until the lion had gOrg
| ed himself into sleepiness, and then
cautiously recaptured him.

Stratepic.

1t is told of Il well-known actor, now
dead. that he would never take any
physic. and his medical adviser was
often obliged to resort to some STRATA
gem to impose dose on him.
There is play in which the hero is
sentenced in prison to drink Il cup OF
poison. The actor was playing the part
one night, and had given directions for
the cup to be filed with port. but what
was his horror when he came to drink
it to find it contained Il dose of senna.
To throw it away was out Of tine
question. as he had to turn the goblet
upside down to show his prosecutors
he had drained every drop of it,
He drank the medicine with the slow
ness of poisoned martyr, but he never
forgave his medical man. as was proved
at his death for he died without pay
inc his doctors bill.

THE TALE OF A KISS.

And "Shall kiss your then he asked,
And "Oh, guess not" she replied;
For rather than have said him yes,
This Iaaiden would have died.
For modest was this maiden fair,
And sweet, and witching, too, was she.
He might have known she would not
grant
The boon he cravcd, oh, foolish he!
For, had he kissed her on the sly,
She'd not have more than killed him
there:
And, oh. 'twere heaven TO die for her.
The maiden with the nut-brown hair.
And sweetest is the stolen kiss.
Methinlls the maiden had not webt,
But would have made that young man
give
Her back that kiss before he slept.
And now I've told this little tale,
Ye fellows all, take heed of this:
Don't ask a maiden if you may.
But if you want to-take kiss.

Grants Hnrsemaushin.

A writer in McClure's Magazine says
that in the spring of 1878 lie was in the
city of Milan, and there, before the
hotel where he was staying, he saw
an immense crowd about a beautiful
horse, which three groOms We're hold
ing with difficulty. \ group of Italian
officers in full uniform were Wasting
near on their own horses. and evident
ly some grand ceremonial was about to
take place. Presently lie was told that
General Grant was to review the pride
and flower of the Italian army, the fly
ing Bersaglieri, and in Il few moments
the General appeared. dressed very
plainly in civilians clothes.
He walked out of the hotel quite I'M
noticed, and presently one of the Off
GERS, who had dismounted and was
standing in the hallway to receive him,
remarked:
why does not General Grant
Gomez"
There he goes" said the American,
pointing to the simply dressed figure.
The Italians gave doubtful laugh.
NO" said one, that cannot be he.'
But as the General very evidently
stood waiting for them they advanced,
received him and took him to his horse.
which was making frantic and almost
successful efforts to escape from the
three stalwart grooms. \ more wicked
looking creature it would be difficult
to describe; and from the sly looks
which passed along the elegant young
officers it almost seemed as if they had,
of set purpose. assigned their guest an
untamable steed not yet broken.
But General Grant looked at the
horse. and his face lighted with ad-
miration. Whether he was not well, or
merely assumed a sort of helplessness,
could not be determined: but in mount
ing he accepted the aid of two officers,
and from an apparent stiffness had
some difficulty in getting his right leg
over the saddle.
Once in the seat. however, he grasp
ed the reins, settled himself, straighten-
ed his form, and assumed so perfectly
the air of a horseman that shout of
applause went up from the crowd. The
horse, after a few plunges. discovered
that he had found his master, and start
ed off in gentle trot.
The Bersaglieri perform all their ma
neuvers at a run, and for two hours,
most of the time with his horse at
gallop, General Grant kept them NOV
ing. When he returned to the hotel his
escort, themselves rather ruffied by ia
tigue, were loud in expressions of won
der and admiration; and the great
American was still as calm as if he
had not been in the saddle at all.

Doctors and Patients.

A physician with q large practice
sees strange sights-some humorous,
some pitiful, and some irritating. Sir
Benjamin w. Richardson, commenting
on the fact that these singular sights
tend TO produce in the doctors mind
the feeling "All things are alike to
all" says he once surprised a bishop
by saying that the writer Of Ecclesi-
astes must have been a doctor.
Once woman who kept a fuel store
brought her husband to Doctor Rich
ardson in little cart with his body
covered with small coal, under the idea
that by this means she was keeping
him warm. Another woman, to whom
he prescribed an ether mixture there-
fore volatile, first made it WARM, in
order that it might be agreeable to
take.
He was called IN the early days of
his London practice to visit eervant
IN a large house, and overheard the
mistress ask the housekeeper, 'What
sort of a man is he, and how did he
come? Did he drive?'
Il think you'll like him ma'am," re-
piled the housekeeper; but, poor man!
he Is only a walking doctor yet"
People made a distinction between
the walking and the driving doctor in
former days. A physician with large
paying practice used to ride in a chariot
which cost three hundred guineas. Now
people do not care If doctor comes in
a landau, or brougham, or a cab,
provided he comes quickly.
The old physician was known by ev-
erybody as doctor. He wore long,
broad-tailed coat, kneebreeches, Hes
sian boots, a frilled shirt with ruffles
at the wrists, and large white cravat
of the finest lawn. He carried a cane
with a perforated box at the top, which
held camphor or some other smelling
substance. When he was called to a
consultation, he expected to find a
table spread with wine7glaSses. de-
canter of brandy and n bottle of wine.
