SAVING THE FACE.
Stories of the Allies Defeat Circu-

H0ngkong Cor. New York Sun.
The wonderful Chinese art of Saving
the lace has been strained almost to the
breaking point to disguise the facts that
the allies have taken Picking and that the
emperor and empress d0Wager are in

truth be known, a widespread rebellion
would occur. So stories ike these have
pet.l CIRCULATED by the lterati in placards

The few survivors of the allied army
are humble and earnestly begging for
peace. The empress dowager, who was

BUCK AND COUGAR.
Thrilling Fight to the Death Wit
messed by Hunters.

Special Correspondence} "A. 3. Jones
and john Sell Just returned from hunting
tip up the north fork of Kettle river
tell of witnessing an unusual battle, the
participants being a large buck and cOu-
gar. Their attention was attracted 10
the scene at the moment when the cougar
launched himself upon the buck from the
limb of a tree. He landed squarely upon
the buck s sh- u dccS, almost throwing Inn
to the ground The deer recovered in
stantly, however, and a battle royal COM
menced, such as has seldom been seen
by mortal eyes. Throwing his head back
the buck drove two prOngs Of mis- antlers
INTO the cougars body, and then, With
swing forward, threw him to the
ground. Leaping backward he waited
with lowered head for q second attack
The hunters ran forward until they We're
within thirty feet of the combatants,
put so intent were they in settling their
feud, they paid no attention to the IN
truders. The buck had not long to wait
for renewal of the contest, for with a
roar OF pain and rage the cougar sprang
again upon him. As We'll might ne have
leaped against an array of bayonets
for he was deity caught on the buck s
antIers and hurled high in the air. When
ne struck the ground the buck was upon
HIM, striking SaVageiY with his fore feet
which cut like knife blades, and driving
his antlers again and again into his body
FINALLY they separated, but only for a
second, for the cougar crawIed forward
for the final death struggle. This time
however, the hunters interfered and shot
the cougar through the heart
The hunters, with that sense of rough
Justice which prevails in the hills, suf-
fered the buck to escape unmolested by

right to live The cougar was skinned
and the hide brought to the city. 1t

sHREWD PLUMBER
Got Ahead of Russell Sage in a FL
nancial Transaction.

Greenwich Comm Cor. Chicago Record
A German plumber named Holler,
whose place of business is IN the village
of Lawrence, on Long Island, has gained
the respect of that community because
he got ahead Of Russell Sage, the wall
street financier, to the extent of S25. Mr.
Sage has several houses in Lawrence
and engaged Holler to do some repairs.
The work was done, and the plumber
presented Mr.. Sage with a bill for $22.
This was thought to be too much, and
Mr.. Sage at last paid the plumber SIS,
so the story goes.
The plumber was not satisfied and
waited a chance for revenge. Last week
the plumber had some work to do for
Mr.. Sage, and when it was done Mr.
Sage paid him $50, the agreed price hav-
ing been $54. The plumber accepted the
$50, and then he had his revenge; Mr.:
have done that job for $25 and made a
profit of $25, but knowing your habit of
beating lie down. I put on this
price and I am SIS ahead of YOU
The financier was angry and ordered
the plumber away, vowing never to give
him any more work.
