ions were about to take luncheon on
the borders Of an impenetrable covert
where tho animal lay. He adds:
The .'tinan-baslet" stood Just on the
other side Of my friend Sanford. I
stretched acroas him to reach It with
nv right hand, and had lust grasped
the handle when succession Of short,
,avsge roers broke upon our. ears,
mingled with the wild shouts of the m.
: tives, who were evidently being chased
BY that ferocious brute.
At this time I felt that my hat would
probably do more for me than my gun;

seized the gun and faced the enemy.

IL Surrounded Cemetery FIshes
Also become Booty.
Two OF the most unique cases OF
thieving on record are being investigat-
ed in Haverhill. Mass, says the New
York Press. One is the stealing OF To-
600 live fish and the other the theft G,
4 big stone wall surrounding the Gem
ctery Of the Hebrew Burial association.
This is the first instance ever chroni-
cled OF the larceny OF a stone wall
from n graveyard. Last fan Charles
Goodrich constructed an artificial lake
on his estate and stocked 1t with shin
ers" which he intended TO sell this
winter Yesterday he had the sale and
went In search OF the fish. but found
that they had all gone. The lake was
still there and as there Is no outlet
there was only one explanation OF the
mystery.
The Hebrew Burial association pur-
chased twenty acres OF land near the
Whittier homestead two years ago. Il
inclosed the lot with a stone wall. The
wall has taken wings Just as mysteri-
ously as did the fish in the artificial
lake
The members OF the association claim
that the stones were taken when the
Millvale reservoir was built. and they
say that they will bring suit against
the water board. The members Of the
board. however. deny that they touched
+ the stones at all and say that they got
their stone from a lot Of land which
they purchased.
The stolen wall was about half a
mile long. II is estimated that there
was nearly 1.G0O cords Of stone in the
wall. Havcrhill thieves have certain
ly selected strange booty. What have
they done with it, Where could they
hide 81? The folk OF Havsrhil say
that a man who will steal the fence

Want OF ChivaIry.

considerable, than they used to be in
their conduct toward women; there is
10 Disgusting that fact" remarked one
lady 10 another at Mrs. Cloye.and's
Tea, according TO the Washington Star.
Yes, said the other, and the worst
Of It is that the responsibility for this
changed condition Of things rests up
On the women themselves. The stage
obscuring theater hat is largely TO
blame for it, a man reasons this way:
II a so-called lady has no regard for
my rights or comfort al a tAeater.
SHOWS studied rudeness TO others, as
rule, and takes on mannish ways gen
orally, why should ! show special con-
Aoeration for her by giving up my seat
IN street car, or pay her the many
delicate little attentions that her sex
Enjoys so much?' Ii seems to me the
whole drift OF things is in that direc-
non and it is greatly to be regretted" s."
Too true remarked No. l. And
me most unfortunate feature of the
case is tina. those who offend are rare
punished. The rude, the thoughtless
aao the giddy get about as much atten-
Aon as ever while the self-sacrlficing
anu the modest are left to shift for
themselves, or are treated with posi-
i've disrespect. But it was always the
10y OF our sex to suffer yicariously, and
