And the Ugfy Beast Plainly Showed
That RaA Feelings Were Hurt.
People who imagine that animals
haven't got feelings don't know what
they are talking about" said the Vel
lowstons Park guide as be sat clean
ing his rife. 81 was cutting trail
around one Of the sprouun springs one
day, and. getting warmed up, l threw
my coat over the end Of q log. BY and
by went of to hunt for drink OF
water, and it was perhaps half an hour
before returned to my work.
"When l came up, 1t was TO see
whalin big mountain lion creepin along
TO spring on the coat. 1t was over the
log in q way to make it look like man
stoopin down. ard the lion was nicely
deceived. He skulked up to within II
feet Of the log. crouched fiat for mo-
nent and laid back his ears, and then
he made two jumps Of It Creased
lightnin wasn't IN ii with that critter.
1t was Ike big ball Of fur shot from
& cannon, and as he flew he uttered
screech which brought my hair on end.
If that coat had been q man he would
not have had time to say gum. The lion
Lit down on it with claws and teeth
ready for business, and in five seconds
the garment was cut into carpet rags.
'4Then lie realized the cheat, and you
never saw human bein look so fool
Isl. His tall went down TO the earth,
the fire died out OF his eyes and he'd
have given $40 for some one to kick
him I'D hill. dis chagrin was so plain
that l laughed right out, and that
broke his heart He looked at me anu
whimpered like 4 puppy. and when
asked If his mother knew he was out
he fetched g sort OF sob IN his throat
and sneaked off like & dog caught kill
In sheep. If could have run fast
enough to have caught him by the tail
he would't have even looked back. He
knew he had made fool OF himself
and he wanted 10 90 off and hide and

HAVANA'S EXPORTS.
The Port Makes a Remarkable Show
ing forthe Month Of August

The War Department made public TO-
day a most remarkable statement OF ex-
ports at the port OF Havana for the month
OF August, 1899. August usually has been
considered the poorest month OF the year
for export trade. Nevertheless the eX-
ports for the month reached the magnln-
cent sum Of S2.110.2e4.
OF this grand total the United states
alone took si,ti2.S 800 worth OF mercantile
products. and In addition received $4,000
In gold coin.
on the basis OF s2.17O,29i worth Of ex-
ports Of merchandise for a single month,
and that not the best month OF the year,
the export trade OF the island for the year
al the port Of Havana alone would reach
the handsome sum OF 2.0i352N THESE
figures are especially interesting at this
time as they demonstrate the future posi-
binties of Cuba when she shall have
reached a higher state Of internal develop
ment.
Another feature OF the statement worthy
OF comment is the part played by the
United States In Cuban commerce.
