PANTHER HUNT IN A HOUSE.

Shooting Big Game that Was Found
in n Bedroom.
An extraordinary adventure in a bed
room with panther is told by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Rumble, the commander of
the Fifth Brigade of the Royal Field
Artillery at Jubbulpore.
One afternoon Mrs Rumble came out
of portion of the bungalow that was
seldom used and said she had seen the
tail Of a panther protruding from be-
hind large coil of mating in one of
the rooms. Colonel Rumble supposed
that the animal was a tame panther
which he knew one of his non-coms
owned, and sent for a brother officer
to assist in dispatching it.
Opening the door enough to insert his
rifle barrel, he fired and wounded the
beast. The door swung open as the
wounded beast bounded against it, 1t
then sprang at Colonel Rundle missing
him by about foot, and bolted.
Colonel Rumble, with Lieutenant Ma
can, recOnnOitered each room in turn.
Eventually the panther was found in a
spare room hiding behind a coil Of
mating.
There was a window to this room
about fourteen feet from the ground,
and Colonel Rumble procured a ladder,
but before he could get his rifle up the
panther had seen him and sprang
through the doorway.
Lieutenant Macan fired three shots.
but neither proved fatal, and the pan
ther bolted out of the house and across
the tennis court into the R. A. mess
compound.
Here it gave chase to an inquisitive
sweeper, but was too badly wounded to
do more than make a clutch or two at
the mans clothes.
Finally it darted into an clubhouse,
where it was Observation-Disclosures

A competent representative of Ameri-
can cotton textile interests, once estab-
lished in such a distributing center as
Smyrna, could master in a few months
the details of the trade and organize an
effective campaign.
To make sure of success stocks
should be sufficiently large so that or
ders can be filled promptly. One of the
chief drawbacks to American trade in
cotton textiles is the delay and uncer-
tainty in the execution of orders sent
from Turkey. In the case of textiles
the establishment of a distributing cen
ter in the Levant itself is a most i'm
portant factor in deciding the question
Of ultimate success. 1t is practically
impossible to win a market in Asiatic
Turkey for articles involving close COM
petition unless the three factors of per-
sonal representation, quick delivery
and facilities in payment are combined.
The success achieved in the intro
duction into Turkey Of American sew
ing machines, agricultural implements
and a few other wares has been due
chiefly to the union of these factors in
the campaign.

make a try for his fortune. Like Ben

take care Of himself and to even save
a little. He was frugal and careful.
He knew what hunger was, and he had
experienced want. Furthermore, he
had made up his mind to win success,
and he was directing all his energies
toward the winning.
At the end of a few years he had
saved a few hundred dollars, and open

of the Philadelphia Ledger. His defin-
tie ambition was to make himself own

At 81 he was member of pub

of his ambition. Despite apparently in
superable hurdles he had reached his

WHEN MY BOY COMES WRESTLING HOME

When the night is dark, and the cold winds blow
And the starless sky hangs dull and gray,
Then a light CLEANS out with rudy glow,
The shadows pass, and the gloom gives way,
When my boy comes whistling home.
High the sound, and clear blackblrds notA
Mellow and round robins trin,
As sweet as the tune from skylarks throat,
Cleavng Its way through the silence chill
As my boy comes whistling home.
Or "rag-time" sonnet, ballad or psalm,
It matters not what the theme may be.
Reeking with mischief, or solemn and calm,
It carries its message straight to me,
When my boy comes whistling home.
IT'S a sign unfailng. With conscience free
And an unstained soul he fares along,
For guilt would smother the rollicking glee,
Deception wither the happy song.
But my boy comes whistling home.

(No sound of chant In cathedral old,
Nor thunder of organ, nor choir rare)
With this, my boy, with his heart of gold,
To his mother whistng home.

handle with the heater, use the paddle and
work back and forth with a beating stroke
until a characteristic sound, "spat, spat, +"
