Worthy OF Imitation.

The Animal Protective League Of
New York City is composed Of chap
ters" Of children who are banded to-
gether for the purpose of making the
life of dumb animals pleasanter, states
the Boston Home Journal. The reports
are excellent reading, and show that
the average small boy is not kept from
deeds of kindness by the dignity that
prevents much good work among
adults. For instance, one small boy
saw horse trying to feed while the
strap of its nosebag was broken. The
lad was too short to fix the strap, so he
put the bag on his head and held It
there while the horse finished its din.

Of roaring, fiery dragon that comes

How were we to stop her? We hadn't
thought of that before. 1t wouldn't do
to stand in the middle of the track till
the engineer should see us,-and we had
just two+matches and nothing to make
blaze with. 1t was here that Duffey
showed his genius. Quick as flash
he had jerked off his coat and touched
match to the fiimsy cotton lining. The
first match went out. He tried the
second. 1t caught; tiny flame crept
up and grew larger and larger. In ten
seconds that coat was one solid flame
and Duffey was swinging it wildly
around his head.
The engine was bearing down on us
with a frightful screech. The engi-
neer saw us, and not second too soon.
There was u swapping of air brakes, a
grinding Of wheels and a groaning and
shaking of the whole train as she
slowed up. But even then we had to

crew and passengers poured out to see

as queer as l felt l must have been a
sight. And as for Duffey the bowie
knife was sticking conspicuously out of
his back pocket. His face was pale
beneath the smoke, his eyebrows were
singed and his hand blistered The
coat was q ruin.
We told our story as we'll as we
could, which wasn't very well, because
we were still frightened, but they un-
derstOOd what the trouble was when
we said Robbers, bridge" and KILLED
the watchman."
They put us into the train and a
crowd Of men with guns and revolvers
piled onto the engine and front cars.
But by the time the train reached the
bridge the robbers had skipped with
out leaving a trace, except Mr. Stuntz,
who was bound and gagged and knock
ed insensible with coupling pin They
picked him up and put him on the
baggage car. There was a doctor
aboard, who soon had him fixed up in
good shape. He wasn't very badly
hurt.
At the first station they telegraphed
back to Janesville and posse was
sent after the robbers, but did not get
them.
So we didn't sleep outdoors after all
that night. They carried us clear up to
st. Paul on the sleeping car and treat
ed up royalty, too, and gave Duffey a
whole new suit Of clothes.-ChicagO

had to walt quite awhile for Mr..
Stuntz to arrive on his machine but he
came at last, and we sat outside talk
ing, while the sun went down and the
stars came out. Mr.. Stuntz wasn't
much OF conversationalist, and It
wasn't long before began to wish that
Duffey would hurry. Nine o'clack
came and no Duffey. 1t was a lonely
walk over that railroad track, with
dangerous bridges and deep cuts every
little way, and couldn't have blamed
him II he did not come at all; only he
had never failed me before. So | sat
and listened for the sound of his du-
plex whistle. BY and by heard Il

Ing hickory club in one hand and the

bravely to make sure that he was not

But even with Duffey there and Mr.
Stuntz II seemed awful lonesome. The
only sounds were the rlppling OF the
creek down below, the tlnkling of n
cow bell far Off, and the hooting Of
some old owl across the track.
There was no good place for us to
lie down inside the shanty, and besides
we had come for adventure and prefer
red to stay out of doors. We found
grassy place on the embankment,
about fifteen feet away, where the
ground sloped gently down. We used
a railroad tie for pillow and tried to
make believe that It was heaps of fun.

Skill in the dairy is important, but
the art of butter making does not de-
pend altogether upon skill in the ma
nipulation of the milk, cream and but
ter. Inferior cows, that are half fed,
or not fed properly, will not furnish
milk OF the desired quality for produc-
ing the best butter. On some farms,
during the warm days of summer, the
cows suffer from lack OF water. 1t
will not do to simply water them
morning and night, but they must
have an abundant supply. The food
should also be varied and of the best
quality.

BRAVE ADVENTURE OF A YOUNG WOMAN

over her head she rode at the lion,
which started to beat hasty retreat.
Summoning all the strength of her
lungs, the girl screamed at the lion
and urged her pony to pursue him. The
beast frequently looked back and
snarled threateningly, but he failed to
find courage enough to offer battle.
Suddenly it occurred to the girl that
there was no reason why she could not
choke the lion to death. An attempt
was worth making, for this one mon
ster was capable Of destroying a hun
dred young calves and yearlings in
single night.
Suiting her actions to her thoughts
she swung her lariat over her head,
and as the trained pony sprang for
ward at his greatest speed, she sent
the rope kissing through the air and
dropped the moose with certain pre-
cision about the lions neck. The pony
instantly braced himself on his
launches, digging his forefeet in the
ground, and the lion turned a somer-
sault, striking the earth with his head
toward his pursuers. Crouching and
emitting roar that chilled the blood
Of the young girl, he sprang into the
air with all his strength, expecting to
land on the pony's neck and tear his
pursuers to fragments. The agile little
horse turned just in time to feel the
claws of the lion grazing his launches.
Realizing that her life depended upon
the strength and speed Of her pony,
for she had not time to release the
lariat from the saddle, leaned forward
and urged her frightened pony to do
his best. She reached the ranch gate
at her home just as her sisters, accom-
panied by two young men of the neigh
borhood, were about to pass through IL
on their way to church.
One of the young men put bullet
through the animals head. AS a re-
ward for her bravery the Texas Cattle
Association has presented Miss Norma

HE HAD PITCHED BALL.
That Was How the Slender Man Won
at Tenpins.

That Was How the Slender Man Won
at Tenpins.
They were making up opposing
teams in one Of the swagger bowling
clubs. Both Of the captains were a
little wary about choosing the tall,
slender man whose hair was tinged
with gray and whose outward appear
ance suggested lack Of physical
stamina. He said nothing and quietly
accepted a place with the eleventh
hour fellows, says the Detroit Free
Press.
When the first match came off he
did only fairly well, until he appeared
as the last man on the last frame, and
with 200 to beat. Enthusiastic mem
bers Of the team now tell that when he
let 90 of the first ball 1t left streak
of fire all the way down the alley. Pins
flew as though in an explosion. He
piled up strikes and spares till the on
lockers held their breath, and the boy
who set up the pins wanted to resign
while he was alive. Only raise in
salary held him.
But all was not good luck, for an oc-
casional pin would stand up in-appar-
ent defiance of all natures laws. At
the last there were the corner ones.
Two would tie all would win. Take
your timer STEADY, old manw Hold
your nerve" Roll slow onew were
among the things he heard. He did
everything but roll slow one. The
ball went like a rifle shot, struck the
head pin just right, 1t knocked down
another one and the ball caromed on
the third. The rest of the team shout
ed themselves hoarse and the asked
how on earth he kept that terrific
pace.
PLASTER on my back" he whispered.
Next time all the others wore plas-
ters, some AS high rs three, Judicious-
ly distributed. They We're practically
in straitjackets; the team lost, and the
old man vowed he would never joke
again.
He had worn no plaster at all, but he
had pitched fourteen years in an anna

LAssoED A MOUNTAIN LION.
Texas Girl Captured a Wild Beast and
Took Him Home.

The girl of the Southwest if reports
are to be credited, is marvel of per-
sonal bravery. One girl in Texas has
been made famous in the country
around Marble Falls by an achieve
ment that would daunt the hardest
frontiersman In the land. Her name is
Norma Diorn and she lives with her
father near the headwaters of the
Guadaloupe. She, with two sisters,
was accustomed to go out on the range
to look after her fathers cattle. One
Sunday morning recently Miss Norma,
who Is the oldest and most daring of
the three, started to ride the fence Of
small pasture, expecting to return in
time to attend church, and not wish
Ing to desecrate the Sabbath she swung
her Winchester on gate post, remark

of the ranch house before she serious

weapon at home. A monster Mexican
lion sprang over the wire fence just in
front of the girls pony, and. after look
ing at her for moment out of glaring
eyes it uttered one Of it's wild shrieks
and sprang away in the direction of
small bunch of COWS and calves.
The old cows instantly charged the
lion and the mother of the calf gave
him such an ugly thrust with her sharp
horns that he was forced to relinquish
his hold on his prey. The sight of the
frightened little calf aroused Miss
Norma's ire, and swinging her rope

81 UT we don't take any great cred
lott to ourselves, even If the news
papers did write whole lot
about 1t and about us. 1t was Just
what any one else would have done,
most likely. We didn't know that there
was going to be big load of bullion
on the express car that night, and we
hadn't any idea that the other things
would happen; If we had had, you bet
we would have been somewhere else.
And then 1t seems funny that it
should be us, Duffey and me, who dis
covered it. But that isn't 80 strange
after all, when you remember that we
were always doing just such crazy
things-navigating in an old birch
bark canoe, exploring abandoned lead
mines and stealing rides on the "blind
baggage" to Koshgonong and back,
pioits, we liked to get up early ana en-
Joy the freshness Of the summer morn
ings, when the birds sing and the sun
rises, and the dew on the grass is damp
and cold to your feet. More than once
we have walked clear out to the rail
road bridge over the "three-mile creek"
before breakfast, just for the sake Of
riding back on the little hand car of
Mr.. Stuntz, the watchman.
You see, where the Northwestern
road crosses the three-mile creek there
used to be a very high wooden trestle.
] guess 1t was sixty feet high, built on
a sharp curve. 1t was a dangerous
place for bridge, and the railroad
company always kept man there at
night to watch and signal the engl-
neers that everything was all right.
1t used to frighten me just to stand
at the door of Mr.. STUNTS shanty be-
side the track when the big trains flew
by. You would think that they must
surely jump the rails on the curve and
rush right into you, or at least that the
wind they raised would suck you in
under the roaring wheels.
1t occurred to us that we might walk
out to the bridge some afternoon,
sleep there all night and in the morn
ing ride back with Mr.. Stuntz on the
hand car. Duffy was working in town

Christianity and Theology.

One of the most unfortunate mis-
takes ever made by the Christian
church was to slide into the habit of
identifying Christianity with theology.
We have had brains given us to use,
and there are no themes that so magni-
ticently challenge mans intellectual
powers as the themes that associate
themselves with religions and with the
Christian religion. But even so, the
ology is not Christianity.-R DR..

The whisky Traffic,

Henry W. Grady once said of the
whisky traffic: "It is the mortal ene-
my of peace and order, the despoiler of
men and terror of women, the cloud
that shadows the faces of children, the
demon that has dug more graves and
sent more souls unshrived to judgment
than all the pestilences that have
wasted life since God sent the plague
to Egypt, and all the wars since
Joshua stood beyond Jericho"
