In servile adulntion;
Beneath the heavy Ducal heal
The weaker starve, the baser steal,
The holder loot the nation.
When the north winds hoot from the borcal

You pay the tax of the Grand Duke Coal.
And few are spared from the greedy itch
or the Grand Duke staAdardoiiovftch.
In Moneyhof the tyrants heed
No morals or condition.
The people groan, the people bleed
What matter, II they only feed
The Money Proposition.
The Grand Duke Beef; when whims dictate
serenely robs the workmanx plate,
Then pools the doodle to enrich
The Grand Duke Standardoilovitch.
Not In st. Petersburg alone

While Cossacks raid and peasants groan-
We have some Grand Dukes Of our own

And sweiled with the might Of his tribute

On account of the continued

in going to the Eastern Mar

that we found many new lines

exclusive styles not to be found

ROPED A CALIFORNIA LION.
Novel Manaer in Which n Seven-FoOt
Animal Was Killed by Cowboy.

4 fight worthy of being recOunted in
any tale of thrilling adventure was
enacted last week on the Morrow
ranch, which lies Oh the Mount Hainil-
ton range extending from the observa
tory south for many miles. During
the last month Il. +. 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 colt would be found. Tracks
around the slaughtered animals told
the story of the mountain lion. A
close watch was kept. but the depre-
dutions continued as before and the
lion evaded all efforts to kill him or
drive him away.
Ono morning Robinson. with bunch
of cowboys. was rounding up some
stock in remote section of the ranch
when the dog with them started a
large animal in n 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 n rifle
lest they lose sight entirely of the
animal.
Accordingly they formed a Gordon
around the tree and let out their riatas
at the lion. The animal stood at bay
and warded off the rawhides with his
paws. The men had almost despaired
of accomplishing anything when Selhy
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. lie did this at the risk of his
life. After repeated failures he sue

ed the opposite way. The other
riatas fell quickly one after the other
and the animal was hanged then and
there.
