Crickets Arc Fighters.

Now that chicken fighting is more or
less out of fashion in this country, it
is wonder that some one does not in
augurate cricket or beetle fighting.
This is a favorite sport of the Chinese
in their own country. The insects,
some of which are worth as high as
5000 and $500, according to their abili-
ty, are put in shallow bowls, and the
rules are as strict as those governing
prize fighting in other lands. That
this sport assumed considerable i'm
portance is evident from the fact that
there is law in China prohibiting it.

UNPLEASANT MEETING.
Narrow Escape Of a Miner from a
Mountain Lion.
A Chance Shot Killed the Brute, But
Mike Did Not Wait to Convince Him
self of His Fierce Antag-
onist's Death.

1t was in the summer of 1850, while
cold mining on Travers creek in Eldora-
do county, California" said the old
miner to a St. Louis Republic man, that
nv partner had Il hairbreadth escape
from a Sountain lion, which, with
bears, wild cats and other fierce AMI
mails, were quite plentiful at that time.
Our camp was situated on the bank
of Travers creek, which formed a cam
yon with almost vertical walls. The
nearest habitation was Spanish Flat,
small village about 21s miles distant,
which town boosted of the only black
smith shop in the region.
in mining in the hard rock it fire.
quently became necessary for us 70
have our picks sharpened, which meant
trip up the mountain side to the black
smith shop in Spanish Flat.
Il had taken half a dozen picks to the
blacksmith shop the day before and my
partner, Mike Walsh, left camp to get
them at about tour o'clock, expecting
TO get back in time for supper. Mike
was detained at the blacllsmith's and
started for camp with the half-dozen
picks at about dark.
I'VE had finished our frugal meal and
were sitting around telling stories,
which were abruptly cut short by the
sound of rolling rocks and powders,
which became more distinct with the
lapse of each second.
Our first thought was that a huge
howlder had become displaced and was
rolling down the mountain side.
1T was not a bowlder, however, but
Mike, all covered with dust and blood.
his clothes almost completely torn off
him by contact with the thOrny bushes
which grew on the mountain side. We
rushed up to him as soon as he burstinto
view and inquired the cause of his pre-
cipitous descent. He had an ugly
wound on his head.
"As soon as we attended to him and
dressed his wounds he related his eX-
periences.
HE said he had been detained by the
blacksmith. and it was late when he

For the Clothing, But Thought a Ticket
to Florida Should Go with 1t.
He was tattered and torn as be
knocked at the side door of a hospitable
| uptown mansion. and stood shivering
in the cold November blast that almost
swept him from his feet. A benevolent
| looking woman opened the door and
listened with a pensive smile to his
plea for some cast-off clothing, says
the Detroit Free Press.
Poor fellow" she said, in kindly
tones; stay there and | will see what
/ can find in my husbands wardrobe. -
and she closed the door in his face.
After long time she reappeared with
a pair of duck trousers, Il white vest,
and some canvas shoes.
Il think those will fit you she said.
as her eye took his dimensions, land it
is really fortunate you called this
morning, as l was going to pack them
away for next summer"
But have no ticket" eNpostulated
the object sadly.
"Ticket? Oh, you mean from some
charitable association"
mo, ma'am; but l thought you eX-
pected 1 was going there to wear these
clothes. | have just one favor to ask,
madam, if you will pardon the liberty"
"Well?" said the woman in a short
tone.
Would you kindly add a FAM"
The door slammed, and as he turned
sadly away with his hot-weather cloth
ing he heard her putting on the bur-
glar chain.

having nothing but a pistol TO defend
himself with, he dropped the picks and
drew the pistol, taking quick aim.
Not waiting to see whether the lion
was hit or not, he made dash down
the mountain side for camp.
"NVell, we put Mike to bed, and in the
morning we went to look for the lion,
as Mike had described him to be an
enormous specimen. When we reached
the point of the attack and saw trail
of blood, we knew that he was wounded,
and so proceeded cautiously. We had
gone perhaps quarter of a mile when
we discovered him lying down MORALLY
wounded; a single shot dispatched him.
Mikes chance shot had entered his
body behind the shoulder and lodged in
his lung, after which he made no at
tempt to follow him. When we meas
ured the lion be was six feet one inch
from tip to tail. the largest ever killed
in that region"

1T WAS ROUGH ON HIM.
His Visit so brewery with a Young
Lady and the ReSult.

1t was at the opening of big brewery
one day lately says the Washington
Post. The young woman in the seal.
skin cape had the air of one Summing.
The young man wore his Bible-class
manner. They glanced about with
slightly disappearing interest.
I'm so glad to have seen it," said
the young lady in the sealskin cape. at
seems wrong to think of so much
money being wasted in manufacturing
beer"
1T is wicked" said the young man,
firmly. There must be a great deal
of beer consumed in Washington"

Lamar, Col, is now in progress and
many Kansas sportsmen are participat-
