HOST Savage Creature in the Woods
Says an Old Hunter.

Host Savage Creature in the Wooda
Says an Old Hunter.
eWhen it comes to savage crea-
lures l will put the catamount
against anything to be found in the
woods" said an old hunter to a New
Orleans Times-D Democrat reporter,
"and I am sure l would come out in
the lead with distance to spare. The
catamount is a ferocious member.
Once corner one Of these creatures
and you will have your hands full to
come out with your life. In 1.-THE first
place, they are well-equipped for
fighting at close range. Nature has
provided them with long, curved and
pointed claws and extraordinarily
sharp teeth. Their claws cut like
a knife, and if they could use a scythe
they could not meet with more sue
cess when it comes to moving a pack
of dogs down. Dogs for this reason,
fight Shy of catamounts. They never
let the trail get too hot, because they
want to keep a reasonable distance
behind in the chase. The fact is, I
have known dogs to quit the trail
when it was fresh enough to indicate
that the distance between them and
the catamount could be measured in
seconds. They will scatter and scam
per around to the sides Of the trail,
resorting to the same circular course
they describe when they suddenly
lose a trail. They do not care to sur
prise a oatamount by rushing upon
him suddenly. They know what it
will mean to them. Even pups, out
on their first chase, seem to be wiss
enough instinctiyely to give the cat
amount a wide range. They are des-
perate fighters, and in the season
when food is scarce, and when they
become lean and lank from foraging,
they are especially desperate. / re-
member an experience ! had a few
years ago while floating down the st.
Francis river in a dugout, some 40
miles up from the mouth ofthe river.
| had a friend in the dugout with
me. Suddenly we heard limb above
us sw ISM back as if relieved Of a heavy
weight, and in an instant something
fell in the river at the side of the
canoe. It was a catamount. The ami
NAL had tried to land in the canoe
for the purpose of attacking us, and
had leaped from a limb which hung
out wei the river at an elevation Of
80 feet. There was no p~roVocation
except the innate dosperateness Of
the beast, for we had no idea that a
catamount was in 10 miles Of where
we were quietly floating down the
river. We killed him. They are
bad members, and you don't have to
corner them in order to get a fight"

Hobson Again.

HODSOn Agaln-
An associated press dispatch says
that Captain Richmond Pearson Hob
son lectured last week before a teach
ers' institute at Doylestown, Pa, and
that at a reception and dance which
followed, he made confession to one
Of the teachers with whom he was
dancing that he was very sorry he
had allowed so many girls to kiss him.
Nothing so COY and so roguish as this
has been credited to one Of his gender
in many a long day. And withal there
is a pleasing tlnge of green In it.
The captain evidently belongs to the
new crop Of fine-bragging youths
which has sprung up since Thackery
went up and down vanity fair immo-
lating his hecatombs. There is some
thing so fresh and unspoiled about
Captain Hobson. A day in april
never came more sweet. He is not
like a soiled leaf torn from the pages
Of medieval romance, which a pro-
sale age has ~discredited. Nothing
could discredit Captain Hobsou,
Buoyaut, as self cultured as a child Of
four years, he falls in love with the
public at first sight and straightway
makes a coutidante Of it in she
precious, precious secrets of his heart,
Roosevelt has gagged Funston, bad
gered Miles into silence, and S%quelched
Schley, but he has never worked
up nerve enough to tackle Hobson,
Yet Hobson must distress Mr.. Roose-
velt. To be outdoDe by a mere lieu
tenant IN the navy whose only claim
to distinction is having blown the
bottom out of a collier and, on being
picked up, Of having taken a swig at
Cervera's demi-iohn is too much for a
man of Mr.. Roosevelt's temperament
to endure-he who led the charge at
San Juan Hill, has busted bronchos,
shaken wild cats out Of mountain
pines, killed bears with his hunting
knife, and Knocked the lion when be
roared for prey

LONGEVITY OF
European Rulers Live to Greater Ago
Now Than Formerly.

If the risks Of the trade Of kinship
are considerable, as the late king
Humbert Of Italy used to remark,
the increase Of the average Longevity
Of monarchs during the past century
is also considerable. Apropos Of the
death Of the Belgian queen in her six
ty-sixth year, ii is worth recalling
that in the year 1878 Europe pos
sessed 81 sovereigns, Of whom only
II had passed their sixtieth year.
Of these one alone had reached the
age Of 70. In 1900, although mean
while the number Of crowned heads
had been reduced to 40, the list Of
sexagenarians was nearly trebled.
There we're at hat date 20 s~overeigns
who had attained 60 and over. OF
these seven had oyerstepped 20, five
Of them were so, and one, the pres

FoRMOsANs coz THEIR HAIR.
Event Marks an Epoch in Their Prog
ress Toward Civilization.

ANoo EoWoA0 NANAAAdlAoL~
The Formosans are cutting their
hair, whereat, says the London Ez-
press, there is great jubilaticn in Jap
anese government circles.
1t must be understood that TO say
Get your hair cutl' to a native Of
Formosa was formerly the worst
form OF Insult. Almost as soon 10
would have cut off his head.
Now, however, as a sign of submis-
sion to Japanese rule, andin ccniom-
ity with civilized custom, he is be-
ginning to shear off his superfuous
hirsute growth.
Every week the governor Of For
mosa telegraphs to Toxic the addi-
tional number Of natives who have,
cut their hair, iustas Lord Kitchener
telegraphed from time ia time the
number of Beers captured.

Statements.

Bank Statements.
Statements Of several Of the banks
of this city and Of the county will be
found 10 this issue Of the INTELLI-
eENcER. They make interesting
reading for those who know how to
interpret them, and show not only
the sound condition of the banks but
the abundance Of money in the pos
session Of ~depositors. 1t will be seen
that the banks are we'll rid of real
estate, except their banking houses,
and that their assets are singularly
clean. It will be seen too that the
banks have rather more money than
usual on hands, which indicates that
business is not being done SO much on
borrowed capital. The %soundness OF
the iGancial institutions Of this
county has always been a source Of
pride 10 the people, and is due not
only to the character Of those who
have these institutions in charge, but
to the business conservatism of the
people who %patronize them.

National Reciprocity.

National Reciprocity.
Among the INTELLIeENcER's ex,
changes is the National Reciprocity
Magazine, published in Chicago and
distinctly marked on the back non
partisan. This magazine got on the
exchange list 10 compliance with a
written request some months ago.
Probably there are thousands and
thousands Of country papers receiving
this magazine monthly. An idea Of
its mission may be obtained fren a
consideration of the following sum-
mary of one OF the leading articles on
reciprocity with Cuba;
The annual consumption Of sugar
in the United States is about $780,
$50 tons. OF this, Hawaii can pro-
duce 300, 900 tons; Porto Rico, 100, 900
tons; Louisiana and Texas, 300, 600;
domestic beets, 1851 900 tons--a total
of 1875, 600 tons, or about one-third Of
what is annually consumed in the
United States. Cuba has never pro-
duced wei 1000, 900 tons, SO that if
we were to admit Cuban raw sugar
for no sugar is refined in Cuba) free
of tariff duty. we would still have to
look to Germany for one-third Of the
refined sugar we need annually. The
writer adds: "If Cuban sugar is adj
mitted free, the AmcyIcaH sugar IN
dusfyy will still be protected by a mar
gin Of foreign importation amounting
to more than 100000 tons. l have
~endeavored to show that the proposed
reduction go per cent? Of the Ameri-
can tariff on Cuban sugar will not
iniure any existing American interest
in those lines Of production"
BY "the American sugar industry
the writer doubtless means Haver-
meyers sugar trust, which is said to
own every refinery in the United States
A reduction of SO per cent Of tariff
duties on Cuban sugar would be a re-
duction Of SO per cent to Havemeyer
on raw material without 10 the least
affecting the price Of refined sugar to
the American consumer. Now this is
all very good In its way-but it is a
very, very republican way. It will
relieve the Cubans, but the American
consumer will continue to be taxed
and the tax will 60 to Mr.. Havemeyel
instead Of to the United States
treasury.
In the last congress the "~insurgent'
republican senators agreed to vote fol
a 20 per cent reduction on Cubar
sugar IL a like reduction was made OF

might not be the only beneficiary o
the reduction, but Roosevelt and tn,

They said it would ruin the beet suga
