An Arizona CHS Brave Struggle With tho Fsns
Beast Saved II tle Bother.

George j. Manassa of this city, who
has been spending the past two months
at kingman. Ariz.. tells an interesting
story of a case of heroism I'm a young
girl that came under his observation,
says the Kansas City Journal. He said
that one day while there a ranchman,
j. A. Carrow, brought into the town for
medical treatment his son Murray, 6
years old, and his daughter, II years
old. The girls arms were frightfully
lacerated by the teeth and claws Of
some animal, and the same rough
usage showed upon the boy in wounds
upon the arms, hands and the breast
and shoulders. Upon inquiry he learn
ed that Mr.. Carrow was a wealthy
ranch owner. living about twenty-five
miles north of the place. and that the
two children had been lacerated by
lynx that had attacked the boy, and
had been strangled to death by the
girl.
THE boy" Mr.. Manassa said, was
playing in a swing in an almond or
chard near the house, when a ferocious
lynx sprang upon him and pulled him
gle then took place between the little
fellow and the animal. Taking the lynx
by the ear and one leg he succeeded
in throwing IL To the ground and hold
ing it there screaming for help. The
lynx was biting his hand I'm a horrible
manner, but with Spartan courage he
held on until his sister came. The ami
NAL had got the better OF the boy when
the girl, with only her naked hands as
weapons, gave battle.
"She struggled with the infuriated
brute, and, although he clawed and bit
her, she never released her hold until
she had il pinioned to the ground by
her knee and death grip on it's
throat Then she did not faint or go
into Mysteries: out she bound up the
wounds of her brother and then, taking
him up in her arms. carried him into
the house. Their clothes were almost
entirely torn from the two children,
and. after their battle. they were COW
cred with blood that flowed from their
wounds. The animal was the largest
that had ever been seen in the country,
and it's pelt will be preserved as an in
terestlng trophy by the Carrow family.
The girl was greatly praised for her
valiant conduct. and one of the news
papers of the town, in writing of her
heroism. said.S She should receive the
government medal for bravery, for no
Drawer act than this IS recorded"

There IS improvement In crime as
well as I'm other things TO accord with
a higher civilization. At least. that is
the expert opinion OF Sir James
Vaughan who, after thirty-dve years
Of service in the Bow Street court Lon
don's principal police court, retires
with honors thick upon him. He notes
from his extended experience a decrease
i'm the crimes that are distinguished by
brutality and violence but a corre-
spending increase in the crimes that
require cleverness of brain. He ascribes
the transition TO the education afforded
by the board schools. He sees no hope
for a reduction of crime. only for a
change i'm it's character as developed
by the modern education OF the young
which is shared by the future criminal
in common with the prospective good
citizen. That education does not tend
TO prevent crime but only TO change
its character is somewhat dlscouraging
but IL is something that the change is
for the better, tending directly as ap-
pears to the elevation of crime 10 a
position as one Of the fine arts.

Froverbially the truth never hurts
any one except perhaps the fellow that
tries TO conceal IL. If the truth of the
Philippine situation has been concealed
IL is L!gh time that the American peo-
pie knew it--and knew exactly as 10
the situation. The people cannot afford
TO fool themselves and they won't
stand being fooled. We have cheered
the victories of our troops in the Phil
ippines but after the shouting was done
there began to dawn on the public
mind a suspicion that somehow the
material accomplishments were not
proportionate to the immediate glory
of the achievements. Somehow IL began
10 appear that while our troops were
carrying everything before them in
their battles there was very little TO
show for IL all. Agunaldo is still free
and Lieut.. Gilmore and his men are
still -prisnners-- The Victories that have
been won have somehow failed to sup
press the one or rescue the other. The
heart of the insurrectlon had plainly
not been reached.

The now famous 'round robin" OF
the newspaper correspondents bears
out the suspicion that has been grow
ing. that all was not going so well as
had been at first thought i'm the Philip
pine operations. II goes to show that
the truth has been suppressed. Or at
least only half truths have been per-
mitted to pass the censor The disclos-
ure is discouraging. 1t explains the
peculiar optimism that has colored all
the official dispatches. the Spanish-like
reports of victories which somehow cut
little ice. II Is hard not To place fun
credence I'm the correspondents who
sign the 'round robin" They are more
than an ordinarily trustworthy body
of newspaper men. And they are united
in their protest If they are mistaken
they have seriously compromised
themselves. They risk good deal OF
reputation by their act. 1t is pretty
clear that not one OF them would have
taken the risk without full confidence
that they have the support of hard
facts

MATCHING FISH FOR A FIGHT.


The inhabitants of Cochin China and
Siam have known the lighting capacity
of a savage little fish for many years,
and have long bee i'm the habit of max
ing matches between those owned by
different men, just as the Mexicans
match their game cocks and some
Americans and Englishmen their bull
pups. When match is made the par
ties TO IL having laid their bets, bring
their specimens OF the fierce little
Beta pugnax in globes OF water. Both
are put into one globe. says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, and without a
moments hesitation they fly at one an
other with teeth and fin. and do not
cease fighting until one of the combat
ants is killed by the other. The males
are much larger and more savage,
fighting as II for the sport OF the
thing, but TO the death. IL is only year
or two since specimens OF this FISH
were brought to- Paris. but i'm that city.
where some new excitement Is so ea-
gerly awaited, IL did not take long for
the fighting fish To be admitted TO
sporting circles. Now many are owned
IN Paris. and IL Is said that the demand
FOR good specimens is constantly on
the increase.
Hitherto IL was known that different
kinds OF fish would fight with one an
other or some times angry whales
would wage battle royai FOR supremacy
In the herd. but IL remained for the
Beta pugnax TO take place as
lighting fish par excellence. They are
beautifully spotted with rcd and blue
ana would attract attention I'm any
aquarium by their color alone The saw
age nature behind the beauty would
hardly be suspected.
