ture seems to have known when it saw
the school children going by, single
file. The cougar seized the lad by the
head and sat upon him, snarling at the
other boy of the party, an eight-year'
old youngster, who came running with
might and main to save his brother.
The brave boy had In his right hand a
milk bottle of heavy glass. He took
hold of one Of the cougars ears, and
with the bottle began to beat the
snarlng beast over the head. At the
third or fourth blow the bottle broke,
and hundred fragments of glass We're
scattered about. 1t is possible that
some of the fragments entered the
cougars blazing eyes, for as soon as
the bottle broke he let go his hold
and ran off, plunglng into the bushes,
from which he did not again emerge.
Meanwhile the unhurt children took
the wounded boy into farmhouse.
The wounds were all flesh wounds, and
when they We're dressed the little fell

of the adventure, which was soon the
talk of the neighborhood.-Seattle Post

A NoMAN,s HEROIsNI.

The Siberia that the Russian convict
knows is, il half the reports about it
are true, a place where life is worse
than death. Yet it is not an uncom-
mon thing for the wives of Russian
convicts to follow their husbands into
exile in that dreadful land of hard
ships.
Quite recently there set out for the
mines of Siberia q lonely woman with
a baby in her arms. She will trudge
the whole distance, If her strength
holds out, alone, begging her food
where she can. Her sole object Is to
join her husband, who is a convict.
He was one of the Russian troops
who, some months back, refused to
fire on q mob that was demonstrating
against the iron hand Of bureaucracy
He was court -martialed and sentenced
to the mines for life. He was less
lucky than certain others, who We're
merely shot. Without delay he was
dragged to the penal settlement, and
not for days did his wife learn what
had become OF him.
As soon as she knew she sought per-
mission to join him. 1t was only by
chance that she got within hearing
distance OF an official powerful enough
to grant or deny her permission, but
he did neither; he merely said that the
road to the mines was an open road,
and If she could walk the distance no
obstacle would be put in her way.
So she set out.
If she falls by the roadside and dies
Of exhaustion or starvation, with her
babe Oh her bosom, the world will
never know. But the world is richer
Tor her effort and her love.

A THRILLING CAREER.

After costing the italian Government
the sum of G120,000 and the services
of five regiments for nearly two years,
Musolino has at last been caught and
Gagged. But, great as has been the
terror inspired by this famous bandit,
his actual power was small compared
with that of several uncrowned kings
whose names are far less known to
the public. At the age Of fourteen,
Boris Sarafoff, young Bulgarian, at
tackled single-handed the prison in
which his father and grandfather were
lying in chains, after cruel torture at
the hands OF the Turks. He was seized
and flogged almost to death.
The boy swore to devote his life tc
revenge. He entered the Bulgarian
army and gained name as magnm'
cent cavalry leader His bravery and
oDen-handed generosity made him the
idol of the people. In 1895 he left the
regular army and raised an irregular
corps, with whom he retired into the
Businesses of the mountains. Since
that time he has headed no fewer than
3S4 raids into Turkish territory. Once
he captured the Turkish town of Mel.
nek with no more than forty men,
driving before him 800 Turkish troops.
The terror of his name has penetrated
to the Sultan's palace, and his secret
agents are said to he found in Con.
stantinople itself. His aim is to or.
ganize an immense rebellion in which
all the Balkan States shall join, rs
well as Greece, seize Constantinople
and proclaim Christian kingdom of
the East. Not only Turkey, but Aus
trla Russia and Britain know that this
man holds in his hands the peace of
Europe.-Pearson's Weekly.

BRAVERY OF THE MATABELE.

A man is considered brave, and right.
ly SO, who walks up to tiger on foot
armed with an express rifle; but this
reputation for courage pales before the
Matabele who. armed only with a
spear and ox-hide shield, attacks a
lion.
Their tactics are described by T. G..
Selous, in the Sports of the World.
a lion having killed an OK, a band of
Matabele warriors would track him
and surround his lair. When the king
of beasts was ringed the warriors
closed in on him. Finding retreat cut
Off on all sides, the lion stood at bay,
facing first toward one of his naked
assailants, then toward another, growl.
ing hoarsely all the while. A chosen
man then rushed the lion, shaking his
shield and shouting out words of con-
Tempt and abuse.
Almost invariably the lion accepted
the challenge, and charged down upon
the intrepid savage. AS the lion
charged its challenger, after making
one stab at it with his assegai, was
dashed to the ground, but endeavored
to fall beneath the cover Of his great
oX-hide shield.
At the same moment his companions
rushed in from all sides, and the lion
was soon stabbed to death. In these
encounters many men were killed or
more or less seriously mauled; but a
single lion, when once surrounded and
brought to bay seldom escaped.
When. as often happens, q party OF
lions were attacked, one or two We're
usually killed, and the rest broke
through the cordop.o-London Express.

CALMLY VIEW PEOBLEM.
Negroes Address Deals More Nationally
With Lynching-" "Make Friends with
the People,"

Louisville, July 3.-The closing
day Of the Afro American council
was marked chiefly by the presen
tation of resolutions embodying an
address to the country at large on
the race problem. After It's adop-
ton the convention adjourned sine
die.
The address in part ia as follows:
"As 10 mob violence, it is gratify-
ing to note that for the past year or
two the number of victims shows a
decided decrease; and while all
these were not members Of our race,
the vast majority was. Notwith.
standing this fact, we should not
feel called upon to discuss the mat
ter at this time, were it not that
while the number of victims is de-
creasing, the variety of provocations
which lead up to this act of violence
ls growing more and more insignifi
cant and numerous. 1t is not an
unusual thing to read of negroes
being lynched for impudence, refus-
ing to obey, striking white man,
etc. Now, we submit, that lynching
for any cause is destructive of any
law, is demoralizing, but to subject
persons accused of-even guilty of,
such trivial offenses, to unlawful
punishment and death, is to make
the negro the marked man of the
nation; for him to suffer violence for
such causes will eventually involve
many of our best people. In some
sections of the country it means
death for negro to attempt to pro-
tect the females of his family. We
ask in all sincerity:
"ls this American? Is it right ?
Such actions indicate tendency to
anarchy and anarchy for the negro
will terminate in anarchy for all
mon.
"The number of those of our race
who are now accused Of the name
less crime against woman is 80 small,
compared with the whole number,
that it is scarcely necessary to dis
! cuss this as q distinct crime. Yet
we make no plea for any man who
may be proved guilty of this crime
our plea is for law and for the pro
lection Of the innocent.
"1t 10 now clearly evident that the
purpose of those who first started
ostensibly to disfranchise the igno .
rant negro has been broadened and
strengthened. Their purpose now in
cludes almost all negroes. In Ger
tain Of the States this result has al
. ready been achieved and thousands
of qualified men are denied positive
! ly and absolutely the right to vote.
: In snch States taxation without rep
resentation prevails as truly as ever
!, it did when England held control
: over the American colonies. We
make no objection to the disfranchise
, ment of the ignorant negro, provided
o same classes of the other race
