Biggest of American Cats.

With d step as nOiseless as a falling
leaf. a huge tawny beast glides like a
ray of light among the pines, over the
bOulders, across anyon and up the
cliffs of the mountains of southern
California. Books say it is a puma.
scientists say it is Felis concolor. but
to the men with the bark on who
study animals from life only through
the sights of a rife. it is a mountain
lion.
1t is eve called painter" or cata-

men hold that the panther of the
southern and middle west states is
Identical with the mountain lion of

The panther is short-bodied, short

though not so large, is slightly darker
in color. and is the more feroCiouS of

a Speech without Words.

Francis E. Leupp says that prob
ably the shortest speech ever delivered
in congress vas made by Ben But
Ter. of Massachusetts, says the Ne
braska State Journal. An Ohio MEM
Der had fallen afOul of him one day
and poured upon him a torrent Of
abuse which would have excited gen
eral indignation but for an unccn-
SciOuSly ridiculous gesture with which
the orator accompanied almost every
alternate Sentence; this tempered the
disgust of his hearers with mirth. He
woul raise his arms just as high above
his head as possible and then wiring his
hands as if he were making a delirous
attempt to wiring them off. Butler sat
through the speech with his eyes half
closed, not moving q muscle. He rose
| when his assailant finished and stood
calmly in the aisle. After perhaps a
minute of silence he began: "Mr.
| Speaker!" Another impressive pause,
and expectancy reached nearly the
burning point. Suddenly raising his
arms Butler reproduced exactly the
awful gesture of the Chic congress-
man. Then his arms fell to his sides,
and for another minute he stood silent.
THAT is all, Mr.. Speaker he said
finally, and sat down. II just wanted
to answer the gentleman from Ohio"

"Oh, yes" replied the hostess care
lessly, according to the Brooklyn Ea-
gle, but we don't think much of it."
You don't care much for such things
perhaps?"
ooh, it isn't that; but this don't
seem to be much good"
Not complete enough, possibly"

hostess, but there amt enough kings

it back and tell the man that got it VI

THE IRISH LAND BILL.
Commons Nesterday-Mr. HeaIey
and tyndon Spoke.

London, Ma THE adjourned de-
pate on the Irish LAND bill in the house
# commons was resumed today. Sew
raj u~nimportant speakers were follow
q by Timothy NJ. Healy (natiOnalist)
VINO commented on the curious fact
nat only two absolutely ignorant
peeches against the bill came from the
liberal side OF the house"
Referring to the question whether the
bill would make for home rule. Mr..
Healy pointed out that the measure
was supported by the Ulster members
who he said ought to know its effect
better than English amateur politf-
clans, however respectable"
Mr. Healy said he did o grudge the
terms which the landlords We're getting.
He said he regarded the bill as being
a easur Of peace. hich he hoped
would infuse a new spirit into the
hearts Of Ireland and England.
T. P. O'Connor while criticisiDc ito
details, defended the bill. He said It
was no leap in the dark. Peasant pro-
prietorship in Ireland had been most
successful. The evicted tenants must be
restored to heir holdings. The house.
he added must choose between al
great measure Of land purchase and
chaos and anarchy
In the house tonight, John Morley,
who was received with opposition
cheers, SAID the bill was a bold and
courageous measure and a revolution
airy extension of the land purchase
system. Mr.. Morley said the bill mark
ed the collapse of the system by which
England had governed Ireland since
the Union lead to further changes.
Winding up the debate. Mr.. Wynd-
ham made light of what he called he
Bogey of home rule" The conclus-
ions the government had arrived at
them III view of three considerations
which it considered essential; namely.
to deal adequately with the congestion
in Ireland, to cheaper and expedite
judicial procedure. and to protect the
interests of the general tax payer. The
Irish secretary said he desired that
this great occasion should not be lost
and that he did not despair of passing
the bill. The division was then taken
n the bill passed it's second read
ing.
An analysis of the division shows
hat all the n~ationalists, the main
body of the ministerialistS and almost
all the liberals voted with the major
ity The minority consisted of the
radical section of the liberals including
Sir Charlie Dixie and a couple Of
UniOnIstS.
In the Hobbies of the house Mr.
Wyndman'S speech was Interpreted as
meaning that the government is very
willing to consider reasonable amend
ments to the bill.

thought that he had come to Judgment
Filled with exalted thoughts of his past
life he felt no fear. But the 3pirit of
God revealed his past life to him in a
light that he had never thought of.
His own littleness s~ellfishness and ego
tism arose before him as a graa- over
s~hadowing and condemning evil. And
more than all did his conscience accuse
him of things he might have done and
had failed to do. Aching hearts around
him and even in his own home and in
his selfiShneSS he had not spoken a
cheering word; suffering he might
have easily aIleviated, but did
not; loving deeds he might have per-
formed, but had neglected. When the
dreamer aWOke he was a changed man.
He forgot his self-praise and. like the
publican, mote himself on the breast
crying. Lord be merciful to me a sin
ner.'
Before we can become successful
Christians we must realize that lost
opportunities will never return. Yes
terday is past forever and no human
agency a recall it. Its deeds have
passed into the history of our lives. and
no power OF ours can undo the evil
or perform the good We failed 20 do.
The present is ours. with all its rich
golden opportunities; We can take Il
and use it. The future lies before us.
pregnant with opportunity hat is also
ours By the pardoning grace of God.
through the finished work of Christ.
we can be forgiven of the negligence
OF the past; but no power divine or
humane, will permit US to live over
the past again.
When DR.. Andree was pastor OF
trace church. he received a note from
a sick lady. asking him to
visit her. Andree received the note
Sunday morning after HI had finished
preaching. He was somewhat tired at
ter services, and ever though the re-
quest was an urgent one and the stuff
erer near at hand, he decided to rest
that afternoon and visit her the next
day. The following afternoon the
preacher went to the house n saw a
crepe futtering from the door. Per
haps l have delayed too long" he
thought, and soon found that he had.
He was informed that the lady had
died that morning and that even to the
last h had hoped he would visit her
and give the spiritual advice and COM
fort she needed. Andree's opportunity
OF helping that one had passed forever.
He could but deeply regret it, but re-
gretS would not bring the dead 20 life.
So my brother, we can all look upon
the past and see bright opportunities
that have passed. Paul, previous t. his
death, said: Il have fought a good
fight and yet [ doubt not thai Paul
permitted some golden opportunities
to pass him.. 1t were useless my broth
err. to brood over the past. Let us look
at the present and into the future with
hope undimmed and do the small things
that come to us every day.
