What saw made me almost
faint | held my breath and
waited. She was standing quite
alone. for the people all about
her had run away, and the lion
was close at her feet.
Then. before I could even cry
out, something wonderful hap
ppned. The lion suddenly lay
right down on the ground in
'front.' Of her and began rolling
over and over, paving the air
like a kitten or a little puppy,
only it was so big and clumsy
1t was all as still now as it had
been noisy before. Everyone
waited and held his breath,
while several of the keepers
crept slowly up from behind with
spikes and bars, and. almost be
fore we knew it, they had driven
the lion back across the ring and
had him safe behind the bars OF
his cage.

And Aunt Jennie laughed with
her eyes full of fears.

Papa explained it all to us aft
erward, how the lions and the
tigers and cats are all of one
family, and the old lion was just
as crazy over catnip as our pussy
cat is. Tnen papa hemmed and
hawed a little, and got very red
in the face, and said:
"And, children, | trust, after
all she has done for us, ii will

Jennie has promised to make me

And, wasn't it dreadful. Bot

THE SCALES OF JUSTICE.
Matters Disposed Of by Judge Mcbride
in the Circuit Court Yesterday.

The Hon. Circuit Court convened at 10
o'clock yesterday morning with Judge
Mcbride oR the tench and the officers
OF the court in attendance; and the
course of Justice took up its dignified
and unerring course.
In the matter of Nina A. Hedrick VS.,
J. w. Hedrick, default was entered
against the plaintiff, and the decree will
ensue.
In the case OF the State of Oregon VS..
Frank Hendricks, charged with illegal
voting on June 4th, last. the defendant
entered a plea of guilty and gave de-
tailed account OF how he came to make
the bad break, whereupon the Judge
quietly assessed him in the sum Of
500. or fifty days in the county jail.
He went to Jail for the time being, at
least.
In the matter Of the State OF Oregon
VS., Edward, and Edward A., Anderson,
Of Seaside. father and son, charged with
a dealy assault upon the person of A. II.
Barr, foreman Of the Seaside Spruce
Lumber Company, and who was pretty
nearly put out of business for all time
by the viciousness of the attack. Judge
Mcbride permitted them to plead
guilty TO assault and battery, and then
gave them the limit of the law for such
an oifense, towit, one year in the county
jail. This case was one of peculiar in
terest owing to the severity of the as
sault and the coarse bravado with which
the defendants carried Off their share in
the disgraceful episode, and the sentence
Of yesterday was received in this city
with emphatic satisfaction, the only
wonder expressed being that they were
permitted the milder plea, thus escaping
a penitentiary sentence.
