LADY'S DARING LEAP
THRILLING STORY OF ESCAPE
FROM ASYLUM.
She Sues for $4,000 Damages - Mrs.

Mrs. Madeline Miller of New York
city, in a suit for $1,000 damages
against her husband, Eugene D. Miller,
and Dr. Frank H%azlehurst Barnes, who
conducts a s%anitarium at Stamford,
Conn, tells a most extraordinary story
Of her escape from that institution.
She alleges that she was Kidnapped and
taken to the asylum, and her adven-
lures bid fair to rival those of Wilkie

According to Mrs. Miller, she and her
husband, whose family live in STAN

have no children. She says that she
became possessed of considerable real

Learn to Grow Old Gracefully.

There is a most admirable lesson
contained in the following extract from
Hannah More's STRUCTURES on the Mod
ern System of Female Education"
"Since, then, there is a season when
the youthful must cease to be young,
and the beautiful to excite admiration,
to learn to grow old gracefully is, per-
haps, one of the rarest and most beau
tiful acts that can be taught to woman.
And it must be confessed it is a most
severe trial for those to lay
down their beauty, who have nothing
else to take up. 1t is for this sober rea-
son of life that education should lay up
it's rich resources. However disre-
garded they may have been, they will
be wanted now. When admirers fall
away and f1atterers become mute. the
mind will be driven to retire within it.
self; and if it finds no entertainment at
home, 1t will be driven back again
upon the world, with increased force.
Yet, forgetting this, do we not seem
to educate our daughters exclusively
for the transient period of youth, when
it is to maturer life we ought to advert?
Do we not educate for a crowd, forget
ting that they are to live at home-for
a crowd, and not for themselves-fo1
show, and not for use-for time. snd
not for eternity?"

large crevice in the rocks. Antoine
started down from the mountain. Slow

succeeded in reaching the bottom, but

VALOR OF THE BOERS
ALMOST UNEQUALEp IN THE
WORLDS HISTORY,
An English Correspondents Intelligent
on the Observation-Disclosures
British Press for Its False Reprssen-
tstionz About Dutch Civilization. v

An English correspondent at the
front has the following to say relative
to the war now being waged with the
Beers:
I'VE began by fighting in a hurry;
we are now fighting at leisure. Neither
the generals, the men, nor the public at
home has formed an approximately
correct estimate of the difficulties
which had to be overcome or of the en-
envy we were to encounter. The Boer
fights with his head seldom with his
muscles; our men fight with their mus
cles, seldom with their heads. You can
not get either the officers or the men
to understand that the first duty of a
soldier is to kill, not to be killed. They
have all come out here determined to
earn the Victoria cross, or to distin-
guish themselves by displaying con-
spicuous bravery in the field. 1t Is
magnificent, but it is not war
at is little better than a very popu-
lar sporting expedition or an immense
scale. You have, no doubt, heard fire.
quently of the zone Of fire. and have
formed your own opinion of what those
words signify. l will describe the sit
uation for your benefit. Imagine that
there is a range of high hills facing
you some five miles away from where
you stand. Orders are issued to ad-
vance. Presently o see ahead a long
line of dust, tufts of grass, and pebbles
raised by the multitude of bullets
which fall almost as close to each other
as do drops of rain in a shower. 1t
seems humanity impossible to cross the
line without being hit, and, even should
fortune enable you to do so unframed,
a mile or two would separate you from
the enemy.
THAT ZONE of fire is the only obstacle
at all to their discredit that it should.
They occasionally hesitate to make the
rush through. 1t is like running
through a shower of bullets for some
20 yards, and trusting to luck that no
drop shall touch you. The bravest and
the least brave are on the same level
on such an occasion, and it is indie
~scribably disheartening, when you
have undergone the ordeal without
mishap, to find not only that the an
envy is still very far from you, but that
further zones Of fire have to be
crossed.
81 cannot believe that numbers will
make much difference in our favor; the
more men you send to the front, the
more bullets will have human billets.
The brain will have to wiz the battles,
You who are at home must not blame
the generals; they are fighting under
conditions which are altogether new
Here we do not dislike the Beers; we
have learned to respect their courage
and it annoys us to read in the Eng
fish papers that they are barbarians
who strip and ill-treat the wounded"

A MARRIAGE.

Senator Mark Hanna's only son, Dan
R. Hanna, has recently taken unto
himself another wife, and what adds
to the interest of the situation is that
both his new wife and himself are
divorced parties who found life with
tremely unpleasant. We quote this
account of the circumstances surround
ing the affair from the Cleveland cor
respondent of The Cincinnati Tribune.
Dan r. Hanna, the only son of Sen
ator and Mrs. M. A. Hanna, and Daisy
Gordon Maud were married by Rev.
Frank N. Riale, former pastor Of the
Chenille Presbyterian church. Nine
persons, all near relatives of the bride
and groom, witnessed the ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna have left for the
East on their wedding journey. The
ceremony was performed at the pala-
tial residence of the late William j.
Gordon, o the home of his son,
Charles Gordon, father of the bride OF
today.
Somewhere on the Atlantic, bound
for Europe, is Mrs. Carrie May Har-
rington Hanna and her three sons. Mrs.

IN WILD BEASTS DEN
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A
HORSE-THIEF.
Flercely Attacked by Grizzly Bear and
Lion, He Repels Them with a Bowie
Knife and Finally Escapes Grizzly
Kills Lion.
Especial Ietter.)

An experience which falls to the lot
of but few men, and which would be
cared for by still fewer, was had a
short time since by a Mexican horse
thief, Antoine Cayagus by name, who
to escape the clutches of the law had
taken refuge on the peak of DEVILS
Home, a large mountain neal Malina,
Colo. No one knew the mountain was
Inhabited until the other day, when a
band Of cowboys riding at the foot of
the mountain found him lying sense
less between two large rocks. He was
carried to the nearest ranch house and
properly cared for. In a few days he
was able to tell mis- story, and a most
horrible n it was. Wild animals were
numerous about his mountain home,
and, as he did not possess a rife, An
tone, Immediately on his arrival at the
peak, decided to build a house among
the rocks, making a sort of ave with
a large boulder at the opening to serve
as a door so that no animals could get
in. This he did, making a lever with
a strong pole, and prying the rock to
n side when he wished to pass
through the opening, always being
careful to close it after him.
Antoine had only a bowie knife and
ak as weapons Of defense. These he
kept near him at all times. During the
day he hunted ground hogs and comics,
his only food, and once he succeeded in
killing a deer. Recently. after having
walked all day in pursuit of game, and
having met with no success, he re-
turned to his cave to find it already
occupied. AS he neared the entrance
he discovered that he had forgotten
to pry the rock back to it's place after
coming out in the morning. A low
growl from the cave reached his ear,
causing him to leap behind a large rock

still less disposed to gather in large
fiocks, were rarely out of sight in the
lower parts of the eastern Rockies, and
it was quite usual to see several hun
dred blacktail in the course of a single
days travel. Blu a change set in when
the pioneer American, with their
horses, their deadly rifles, their energy,
and their taste for murder, began to
invade the newly found west. The
settlers increased in numbers and the
rifles became more deadly each year;
but the animals did not improve in
speed, cunning, or fecundity in an
equal ratio, and so were defeated in
the struggle for life, and started on the
down grade toward extinction. Aside
from sentimental or aesthetic reasons,
which I shall not here discuss, the ex-
tinction of a large or highly organized
animal is a serious matter. l. 1t is
always dangerous to disturb the bal
ance of nature by removing a poise.
Some of the worst plaques have arisen
in this way. 2. We do not know,
without much and careful experiment,
how vast a service that animal might
done to mankind as a domestic species.
The force of this will be more apparent
if we recollect how much the few we'll
known domestic species have done for
the advancement of u race. Who
can decide which has done most for
mankind, the COW or the steam engine,
the horse or electricity, the sheep or
the printing press, the dog or the rife,
the ass Or the loom? No one, indeed,
can pronounce IN these, yet all on re-
Fiction feel that There is reason in the
comparisons. Take way these inven-
tons and we are put back a century,
or perhaps two; but further, take way
the domestic animals, and we are re-
duced to absolute savagry. for it was
they who first made it possible for our
aboriginal fo%refathers to settle in one
place and learn the rudiments of civ
ilizatiOn.
