Phoenix Has Some Promising Anna
 teur Story Tellers.

Mir. Louis Masten of the M. x F. rail- Sunday from being scared to death. He went out to the Camel Back mountain on a little picnic and after hitching his horses wandered up an arroya toward the hill. About half a mile from the foot of the mountain he heard a dis tant rumbling and as it was cloudy he thought 1t was thunder. As the minutes went by the rumbling grew louder and seemed to be coming closer The sound was different, however, from anything he had ever noted in a thunder storm and 1t made him anxious.
 About the time he reached the foot of the hill he felt the earth tremble and that made him think of earthquakes Still there was no nauseating feeling like that which usually comes over a man when he is being churned up by an earthquake. In his anxiety he wanted to get up where he could see his surroundings and decide what 1t was best to do, so he clambered up the side of an overhanging precipice about 100 feet high and looked around,
 For moment he stood like a man petrified, for twisting itself along about as fast as a man could walk he beheld a rattlesnake that seemed to be nearly a hundred feet long crawling up the gulch he had just left and not over a hundred yards behind him.
 As soon as he recovered his self-pos- session he did some rapid thinking. The snake was too big to combat with club or even with a stone without odds, and he was afraid to run for fear the reptile would out-travel or out-wind him. The gulch ran directly under meath the precipice, so he found the largest boulder he could roll and showed 1t close to the brink. His nerve was steady. not because he was brave, but because he believed it to be a life and death contest. If he should only succeed in wounding the reptile it might only serve to make his position more perilous.
 The snake evidently had not ob- served his presence and crawled along rattling his tail merrlly and shaking the mountain as he went. When di- rectly beneath him Mir. Masten rolled the boulder off the cliff and fortunately hit the snake on his tender spot. With jerk that tore the rattles loose the snake strengthened himself out and died instantly. Mr. Masten came down

The craze for Japanese things has

English dancer began this fashion
with a butterfly ON her upper arm,

People who go to Japan have their

DEVICE TO SCARE WOLVES.
Automatic Gun Recently Invented
That VIII Protect sheep from
Natural Enemies.

Examiners in the patent Office have
learned by experience that II is a
mistake TO jump at conclusions re-
garding the usefulness of inventions.
A contrivance at which they were in
clined TO poke good deal OF fun, de-
signed to brighten wolves on western
prairies, was patented less than three
months ago, and already it has come
into considerable use in the sheep
growing districts in that part of the
country, says the Presbyterian Ban
ner.
The device is an automatic gun
which goes off at regular intervals,
soaring the wolves away from the
floeks. 1t consists of a sort of box
which contains a clockwork attach
ment, with a small steel barrel pro-
jeeting from one end. A magazine,
also with the box, is loaded with
blank cartridges, which are fired by
the elockwork once in ten minutes or
so. BY the help of a simple machan-
ical attachment the intervals be-
tween the discharges are made as
long or as short as may be desired.
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to be in
operation only from sunset to sun
rise. II is the period of lambing that
the flocks are in danger, the fierce
wolves raiding them and carrying off |
the lambkins, and hence the apparat
us described is intended to be en-
ployed exclusively during that sea
son. II may be that the wolf. which
s a decidedly intelligent animal, may
earn the deception after awhile and
realize that the automatic gun has

called Zulus, who maintained that
continents reputation for fighting be-
fore the Beers stepped in.
Little was doing in the railroad

angle of about 35 degrees. A cloud
OF smoke was coming from it. Four

occupants of that. The man was the

en- route from one market to an
other was his business. He was a
type of class that railroad men on

A LITTLE DIPLOMACY
by L. d. Contee.

NFR. REGINALD DE PEYsTER Bill

MR.. REGINALD DE PEYSTER Bill
N LETTE was not an intentiona.
lady killer. Indeed, it was only his
tenderness Of nature that made him re.
spond TO every girl of the Washington
set who fell a victim to his fetching per-
son and charming manner.
Mr.. Billette had great expectations
from an aged and wealthy grandmoth-
er, who was altogether in the swim.
Upon her he drew quite literally, and
thus managed, with his salary, 10 exc
out bouquets, bon-bons, opera boxes
and golf clubs.
With the coming Of Lent, Reggy
spoke to the old lady of threatened
nervous prostration, that made abso-
lutte rest essential and that would keep
him from the house party at her smart
residence beyond the Heights. Then he
packed his suit case and fed to Grass
vile, suburb of the capital noted for
its pretty women.
In the smartest and fastest set of
that town Maymye Smythe and Daisy
Fields easily held the head of the social
track, dividing beaux, bon-bOns and
leadership so evenly and with so little
rivalry apparent as to be town mar
wells.
No proof is extant that at the end of
week Billette had not, in his usual
way, pledged vows Of eternal fidelity |
70 Miss Smythe; but il is certain that
he had poured words Of burning pas
sion into the ears of Miss Fields. |
strolling homeward from the golf
links, that plump, blond beauty sud
denly raised her baby blue eyes from
Of his plaided calves, and
fixed them on his face in tender search
as she whispered:
"Ah! how could you, Mr.. Billette? I
was weak to let you; for l know
feeF'-a little hesitation, a quick fut-
ter Of the bust under the golf Jacket
Il feel you have kissed Mayme, tool"
Heaven Forbid" was the feryent
reply "She is your friend, Daisy. If
seemed to care for her, it was for
your sake, sweetest and dearest of
yirls!" And Billette shifted the golf
'lubs to his off hand, leaving The near
one free, as he artfully ended:
Kissed Maymye? Neyerl Ask
lerls
she is my dearest friend" Miss
Fields murmured, in tones broken by !
eeming emotion, Il would not cause
Ter pain for worlds! would never let
Ter suspect but that trust her"
