ROPED A CALIFORNIA LION.

Novel Manaer In Which a Seven-Foot
Animal Was Killed by Cowboy.
A fight worthy Of being recounted in
any tale of thrilling adventure was
enacted last week on the Morrow
ranch, which lies on the Mount Hamll.
ton range extending from the observa.
tory south for many miles. During
the last month e. r. Robinson, fore
man Of the ranch, had noticed that
their young colts were decreasing In
numbers with alarming rapidity. Al.
most every morning the mangled car
cass Of a colt would be found. Tracks
around the slaughtered animals told
the story Of the mountain lion. A
close watch was kept, but the depre-
dations continued as before and the
lion evaded all efforts to kill him or
drive him away.
One morning Robinson, with bunch
of cowboys, was rounding up some
stock in a remote section Of the ranch
when the dog with them started a
large animal in a thicket. They tried
to send the dog into the bushes, but
he covered away. Suddenly an I'M
mense California lion left the cover
and ran up large oak tree near by.
There were no weapons in the crowd
and Robinson was afraid to send one
Of the men to the wagon for rifle
lest they lose sight entirely Of the
animal.
Accordingly they formed Gordon
around the tree and let out their riatas
at the lion. The animal stood at bay
and warded of the rawhfdes with his
paws. The men had almost despaired
Of accomplishing anything when Selby
Trimble, the crack rider Of the Morrow
ranch, volunteered to leave the circle
and climb a nearby tree to endeavor
to cast the rope in a different man
ner. He did this at the risk Of bis
life. After repeated failures he sue
ceeded when the lions head was turn
ed the opposite way. The other
riatas fell quickly one after the other
ard the animal was hanged then and
til re.

And the dHgeMeiHe, so.
Singularties in verse are often found among
| the poets of merit, not few of whom claim
recognition for striking inventions One Is
subjoined in which the last words of every line
are the first words to the following line:
Nerve thy soul with doctrines noble,
| Noble in the walks of time,
Time that leads to an eternal,
| An eternal life sublime
Life sublime in moral beauty,
Beauty that shall ever be,
| Ever be to lure thee onward.
Onward to the fountain free,
Free to every earnest seeker,
Seeker at the Fount of Youth,
Youth exultant in its beauty,
Beauty found in quest of truth"
The range of mortuary poetry is large, and
| to some extent no doubt fictitious, but enough
is genuine to fill large volumes of interesting
critiques upon human life in particular On
the base of a beautifully recumbent figure
in the cemetery at Mount Auburn are the
following lines:
Shed not for her the bitter tear
Nor give the heart to vain regret
IT'S but the casket that lies here
The gem that filled it sparkes yet
Here is an epitaph from stone in Wiltshire
which would be extremely difficult to put into
verse
Here lies the body of Lady O'Loonev,
great-niece of Burke, commonly called the
Sublime. She was bland, passionate and
deeply religious also she painted in water
colors, and sent several pictures to the exhibit
ton. She was first cousin to Lady Jones, and
of such is the kingdom of Heaven"
After vainly offering a prize for a suitable
epitaph for his tombstone, the eccentric old
Sternhold Cakes attempted the task himself,
with the following results, which all will admit
has much common-sense.
Here lies the body of Sternhold Cakes,
Who lived and died like other folks
For brevity few epitaphs can excel that of
one DIR Walker, who wrote a treatise on
English particles.
Here lies Walkers Particles
Or this, which appears on the stone of DR.
Fuller;
Here lies Fuller's EARTH
Or this for Archbishop Potter:
''Alack and well-a-day!

Or this upon a maiden woman by the name
of Mann:
Here lies the body of Anna Mann.
She lived an old maid
And died an old Mann"

Tucked Blouse Waist.

The blouse waist continues, and Will

lonable world, and seems to know no
limit to its variety. Illustrated is one
OF the newest that can be utilized both
for wash materials and for silks and
woods. and which allows of many va"
riationS in the trimming. In this in
stance white linen is combined with
handsome embroidery and the waist IS
unlined, but the trimming a be lace
or banding of any sort that may be
preferred, while the fitted lining will
be found desirable for silk and wool
materials.
The waist consists OF tle fitted lin
inG. which is closed at the front, the
fronts and the back. The tucks are
so arranged rs to give tapering lines to
the figure at the back and to provide
becoming fulness at the front While
the closing Of the waist is made invisi-
bly, beneath the edge Of the right front.
The sleeves are the favorite ones which
form generous puffs above smoothly
fitted lower portions. There is a'regu-
lation stock which can be Worn with a
tie and a turnover, as in this instance,
or be made to match the trimming as
preferred.

The Ideal Guest.

Tunic Effects ia Skirts.

1t is rumored that tunic effects in
skirts are to appear with the first mel

smart women are wearing them now.
The bell-sIaped tunics, short at the
sides and arranged over a plain OF
flounced skirt, are the most attractive.
Other tunic models have Il square
apron effect slashed up at the sides,
and for stout figures this style is best,
giving long lines. If you think of
having a wooden street gown made
now, Ge sure that the skirt is cut in a
modified bell or umbrella shape.

that courtship is a swifter business
