JOSEPHINE A MASCOT.
The Excitement She Created at Camp
Wikoff Sunday.

Tho Excitement She Created at Camp
Wikon Sunday.
Camp Wikoff.-An exciting episode
relieved the tedium of camp life for
the cowboy soldiers Sunday. The in
terest began the night before, when
Josephine, the mountain lioness mas
cot of Troop A, got loose and nearly
killed horse. Josephine was a kitten
when given to the Arizona troop, and
taken south by it as far as Tampa.
Now she is nearly half grown, AMI
able to kill a horse. So when she
slipped her. collar the other night she
made directly for the horses of the
Second Cavalry, which were the near
est she saw. She had just jumped
on horse and was on the point OF
burying her teeth in the neck when
cavalryman ran out with club. He
chased her to some underground to the
north of the camp and was belaboring
her with the stick, when some of the
Rough Riders came to her rescue and
took her back to her cage and chain.
Curious how they love horse flesh"
said a big, whiskered Arizonian, as a
knot Of them gathered around jose
phine and discussed this new develop
ment in her character. "Onct let the
critter get taste of colt, and she'll
never eat anything but horses. You
can poison them, but you must use
lots of strychnine. There's only one
thing they're afraid of-dogs. The
littlest flee that ever barked will make
one of them turn tail. They don't
come after man unless he wounds
them, and then they would attack a
whole regiment. I shot one while
hunting in the Grand Canyon once.
The bullet passed through his throat,
and just missed his eyes red with rage.
I shot nine bullets into him before he
dropped dead. Just before I fired the
last shot the lion made thirty-foot
leap toward me from bank. He
measured nine feet and a half in
length from nose to tail" Josephine
submits to petting with fairly good
grace. Once in a while she will spring
around and open her great mouth to
hiss. Her favorite playmate is Cuba,
woolly terrier, which the Rough Rid
ers say was the first over the Spanish
lines at San Juan. Josephine antipa-
thy to dogs does not seem to extend
to Cuba, with whom she frolics. An
offer was made Troop A of $500 fo-
its mascot. There was later offer OF
$500, but both were refused, as the
troop is determined to take Josephine
back to Personal---very. York Tribune

A NURSES STORY.
The BOY Was Dead with the Smile

The 10y Was Dead With the Smile on
His Lips.
Said one soft-eyed night nurse, &C
cording to Golfers Weekly: ooh, if
you could have seen my first patient!
He was a lovely boy of 10 from some
where out on the Mexican border. In
the four days in which he was under
my charge I grew very attached to
him, but suddenly, when I was per-
fectly sure he would soon get we'll,
a violent change came, and, in spite
of every care, he died. My heart failed
me completely, but there was no time
for weakness. Too many cases were
needing attention. was put in an
other ward temporarily and took es-
pecial charge of one very peculiar pa
tient. He lay stolidly staring at me
without a particle Of expression in his
eye, and by his apathy rather than by
real opposition refused all nourish-
'ment and medicine. l couldn't induce
him to speak at first, and it took ten
minutes of coaxing to persuade him
to swallow teaspoonful of beef tea.
Finally he did so, however, and, after
another five minutes, he consented tc
take another and then another, the
stolid expression changing into one OF
intelligence. If you could have seen
the change! Why, he laughed and
joked and smiled such grimaces that
my orderly and were convulsed with
laughter, and even the weak men on
the neighboring cots feebly Joined in
the laugh. His nonsense was abso-
lutely contagious; so much so that ut
last I was obliged to slip away into
the dispensary to give him an oppor-
tunity to sober down, and incidentally
to prepare some matted milk. When ]
returned, five minutes later, his ex-
preston was still a laughing one, and
the orderly, although attending an
other patient, gave me a knowing
smile as leaned over the weak mans
cot. But this time the patient did not
speak. He was dead, with the smile
still on his lips and strange, half
mischievous wink lingering about his
eyes,"
