THE REAL, COUGAR.
Fhs Great, Fierce Cat Which Infests the
Rocky Mountains.
Theodore Roosevelt in Scribner's.1


Theodore Roosevelt in Scribner's.1
Fables aside, the cougar is a very in
tcresting creature 1t is found from the
cold, dcsolate plains of Patagonia to
north of the Canadian line, and lives alike
among the snow-clad peaks of the Andes
and in the steaming forests of the Anna
ION. Doubtless careful investigation will
disclose several varying forms in an ami
NAL found over such immense tracts of
country and living under such utterly
diverse conditions. But in its essential
habits and traits, the big, sinking, nearly
uni-colored cat seems to be much the same
everywhere, whether living in mountain,
open plain, or forest, under arctic cold or
lropic heat. When the settlements be-
come thick, it retires to dense forest, dark
swamp, or inaccessible mountain gorge,
and moves about only at night. In wilder
regions it not infrequently roams during
the day and ventures freely into the open.
Deer are its customary prey where they
are plentiful, bucks, does, and fawns be-
ing killed indifferently. Usually the deer
is killed almost instanteously, but occa-
sionalIy there is quite a scutfle, in which
the cougar may get bruised, though, as
far as / know, never seriously. 1t is also
a dreaded enemy of sheep, pigs, calves, and
especially colts, and when pressed by
hunger a big male cougar will kill full
grown horse or COW, moose or wapiti. 1t
is the special enemy Of mountain sheep.
In 1886, while hunting white goats north
of Clarke's Fork of the Columbia, il q
region where cougar were common,
found them preying as freely on the goats
as on the deer. II rarely catches antelope,
but is quick to seize rabbits, other small
beasts, and even porcupines.
No animal, not even the wolf, is so rare
ly seen or so difficult to get without dogs.
On the other hand, no other wild beast Of
its size and power is so easy to kill by
the aid of dogs. There are many contra
dictions in its character. Like the Ameri-
can wolf, it is certainly very much afraid
of man; yet it habitually follows the trail
of the hunter or solitary traveller, logging
his footsteps, itself always unseen. l have
had this happen to me personally. When
hungry it will seize and carry off any dog;
yet it will sometimes go up a tree when
pursued even by single small dog who'll
ly unable to do it the least harm. 1t is
a small wonder that the average frontier
settler should grow to regard almost with
superstition the great furtiye cat which
he never sees, but of whose presence he
is ever aware, and of whose prowess
sinister proof is sometimes afforded by
the deaths not alone of his lesser stock,
but even of his mich cow or saddle-horse.
The cougar is as large, as powerful, and
as formidably armed as the Indian pam
Their, and quite as well able to attack
man; yet the instances of its having done
so are exceedingly rare. The vast maj
ority of the tales to this effect are I'M
doubtedly inventions. But it is foolish to
deny that such attacks on human beings
ever occur.

Two Civil War Relics,

Addison S. Bean, Co. G. LIST O. S.
Chasseurs (65th n. ", of West Bethel,
Me-, has two spoons secured during the
civil war, which he values very highly.
One, a silver teaspoon, he found at Say
age Station, Va, June 20, 1852. Com
rade Bean had been detailed to destroy
the Quartermaster's and Commissary' s
stores and surplus baggage of the bri-
gade, when the Union army was falling
back. to the james River. While he was
piling up the soldiers effects, a silver tea
spoon fell to the ground. Its peculiar
Workmanship attracted his attention. 1t
is Of pure silver, with d handle twisted
like a gimlet. The Brigade Sutler, John
Terry, offered two gold dollars for the
prize, but Comrade Bean would not part
with it.
The second relic is silver-plated des-
sert spoon, which Comrade Bean picked
up near Cherry Run, Md. The command
was going into camp at midnight, when
he noticed the spoon in the middle of the
road. Comrade Bean also has a grape
shot fired by the rebels at Spottsylyania
and button taken from rebel Captains
coat at Malvern Hill.

that four of them climbed trees. Only

EDUCATORS IN CONVENTION.
The General Sessions Opened This Morn
Ing by the Council and Indian
Department.

Detroit, Mich, July S.--The lobby
of the Hotel Cadillac, which is head
quarters for the fortieth annual con-
vention of the National Educational
association, was crowded last night
with prominent educators who have
come from all parts of the country
to attend the meetings. The first
general session of the association in
Light Guard armory will not be held
until Tuesday afternoon, but the con-
vcntion will be opened this morning
with sessions of the National Council
of Education and the Indian Educa-
ton department. William T. Harris,
national commissioner Of education,
is the first speaker before the ma
tional council. He will read paper
on Isolation in School; How 1t Hin.
ders and How 1t Helps"
The morning session of the Indian
department will be devoted entirely
to addresses of welcome and re-
sponses.
For the first time one Of the gem
eral sessions of the assembly has
been given over to the teaching OF
economics in the schools. 1t is ex-
pected that this session and the re-
sultant discussion of the topic, which
President Green terms one OF the
most important before the conven-
ton, will result in much progress in
the teaching of economics in the
schools. A strong effort will be made
by members from the extreme north
western part of the country to secure
the next convention and already
Portland, Ore, and Seattle, WASH, are
being doomed for the next meeting
place. Over 5000 members had ar
rived in the city up to last night.
