THE GOOD, OLD LAZY MAN.

I know dear, old lazy man,
Who roams about all day,
Whose head is full of happy thoughts
And pleasant things to say.
He wanders through the sunny streets
And fingers here and there
To watch the children whom he meets
Or smooth some baby's hair.
And when he finds a lonely child,
Or one that's fretful grown,
He takes it gently by the hand
AS though it were his own.
And hand in hand they stroll away,
Along the pavement wide,
First down the block and then across
Then up the other side
He helps the children at their games,
And knows why each one wins,
He tells just what day top time ends
And marble time begins
He is no myth from fairyland,
Nor prince in pauper's clothes.
But just a dear, old lazy man,
Whom everybody knows.
And if you keep a sharp lookout,
And note eacL one you meet,
Some day you'll see the lazy man
Come strolling down the street.

TOMCAT AGAINST COYOTE.
How an Undaunted Feline Won a
Great Battle.

From the Boise City Statesman.
A Boise man passing over the sagebrush
plains near Meridian the other day was
treated to an exhibition that was as
strange as 1t was interesting. 1t was bat
tie between cat and coyote.
1t was early morning, and plainly the
nights prowling over the prairie had net
ted the coyote nothing in the way of a
good, square feed When first seen he was
stealthiy gliding about, his nose to the
ground, searching, as they always are for
something to appease his Unsuitable appe-
tite. He stopped, and was surveying the
surroundings from slight knoll, when
there appeared on the scene great tomcat,
a burly fellow, who also seemed on quest
for breakfast-some toothsome morsel, as a
cottontaii or young grouse.
When Tom hove in sight the coyote
smiled a satisfied smile. All things come to
the patient, he must have thought, and he
at once prepared to take into his inner self
the bounties that nature provided. Tom had
not at first seen the coyote; in fact, was not
aware that a foe was near until the first
charge, when the coyote sprang at him.
But quick as flash, he parried the first
thrust, and then squared for action. With
back up and fur on end. the cat stood his
ground for the second onslaught.
Ruffianlike, the coyote plunged into the
battle, intent on bearing down his antago-
mist with brute force alone, and this prob
ably saved the day for Tom. This time
Tom got in left, swinging blow on the CO.
votes jaw, letting first blood; then jabbed
with the right, bringing the coyote to a
stand. The coyote went to his corner under
a sagebrush, bleeding.
In the second round the coyote sprang
into the fight much as in the first, and with
about the same result to him. The cat up
percut him as he rushed in. then, swinging
mauled him with left and right until the
air was full of brown-gray hair. The round
was furious throughout, with honors clear
ly for Tom.
The coyote might have been counted out
If the gophers that watched the fight had
been counted. He deliberated long before
coming in for the third round but his belly
ruled his mind, and to the scratch he came,
slowly this time. Tom was ready, and
rushed the fight. He crowded the coyote
and backed him over the knoll, planting
left or right whenever and wherever he
pleased. Finally, after much sparring, Tom
got in the deadly knockout blow. The fight
was his, but he took no mean advantage.
When the coyote was down he stood over
him, giving him more than the limit of
time for him to come UP. but CAMS latrans
had enough. He skunk away to his sage
brush, and felis domestica, his back still
up, with his head over his shoulder to see
that he was not made the victim of treach-
cry, sidled of to continue his hunt for
nice young cottontail.

A Gun Camera,

From the New Orleans Tfmes-Democrat
A stout, black-bearded gentleman walked
into one of the hotels the other evening
carrying peculiar-looking package. 1t
had the general appearance of a gun case
except that 1t was extremely short and in
ordinately thick While he was registering

case contains gun, he said, and proceed
ed to extract a singular weapon. The stock
was like that of any ordinary shotgun, but
the barrel was fully four inches in diame-
ter and covered with leather. At the breech
there was square box garnished with
several little levers. II am an amateur
