Susquehanna. April "a Forest City
miner met with a queer adventure on
Tuesday. He was mounted on a mule,
going to Vandling, on business, when,
in the road. a few rods ahead he saw
big wildcat. Not knowing the ma
ture of the cat, he urged the mule for
ward, intending to run it down, when
1t turned, bit the mules leg and then
fled again. The mule screamed saw
agely, and in a minute she had de-
posted the miner on the rocky ground.
Then she kicked out vigorously five or
six times, as If to see that her legs
were all right and started off after the
wildcat at lightning speed, with fury
in her eyes and vengeance in the crook
of her ears.
The race was not long, as the cat
halted and awaited events. The mule
came up with him, caught him by the
backbone with his teeth. crunched it,,
and threw him to the ground, and
then. before he could rise, kicked him
so viciously that he was a dead Wild
cat in less than three minutes. Then
the sad-eyed mule returned to his mas
ter and gave utterance to a "hee-
haw" of triumph.

REVIVAL OF THE BuLLFrNcH.


Little Red Breasted Songster Enjoying
Great Popularity.
In the usual course of change in
fashions, which affect the choice of
pets just as much as they affect taste
in dress, literature and drama, that old
favorite the piping bullfnch is coming
into high favor in New York just now.
The bullfinsh is "the parrot of the tenn
perate zone" not because he ever
learns to talk, like his tropical proto-
type, but because. having no wood
notes wild" of his own, he can learn
to whistle human music and often dis
tinguishes himself as soloist. A
leading New York bird seller who is
now doing f1ourishing business in
bullfinches last week gave this account
OF the bullfinch revival: "They used
to be favorite pets on the other side; 1
don't know that they were ever before
very popular here. OF course, the bull
finch is not an American bird, but
native of Europe. Some of those l i'm
port come from England, but more
from Germany. AS you know, fash
ion like that is generally set going by
some notable or another. In this case
the German kaiser is responsible. Bull
Inches are hobby with him; he has
six of them that whistle Die Wacht am
Rhein' in chorus, and now some of my
men from over there tell me he has a
new bird learning to whistle song
which has lately become popular in
Germany-'Kruger Is a Bully Boy"
This somewhat startling indication of
the kaiser's international tendencies,
the dealer said, has not yet got into
print on this side of the Atlantic.
But" he added, I'VE in the trade are
kind of news" The consignments of
birds are brought over from Germany
under the care of a regular professional
"vogelhandler." The great field for
gathering bullfinches is said to be the
duchy of Hesse. There the birds are
taken, unfledged, from the nests and
patiently taught to whistle their little
The old story that needles are thrust
into their eyes to make them sing bet
ter is ridiculed by the dealers, who
say that nothing but petting will make
bullfinch a good performer. You
can't do anything with them by pun
ishment Even a cross word will upset
a bullfinch and make him sulky. AS
for putting out their eyes, to say moth
ing of the cruelty of it, it would ruin
a birds appearance and destroy his
