ROPES A MOUNTAIN LION.
Ranchman Has a Strenuous Time
with a Savage Beast.

Ranchman Has a Strenuous Time
with "A Savage Beast.
1t was a foolish thing for him to do,
nor can he account for the notion that
possessed him, but Nate Gardner,
Fall River County ranchman, roped a
mountain lion and had strenuous time
later on, says the New York World
correspondent at Sioux Falls, S. d.
While riding across country Gardner
sighted the cat sneaking toward a
bunch of timber about 900 yards die
tant. The surprise of both man and
lion was mutual, and for a moment
they stood looking at each other. Then
the cat gave one of its screaming cries
and started for the trees.
Reused by the movement, Gardner
put spurs to his mount and pursued,
loosening up his lariat as he rode. He
made his cast just as the lion was
about to enter the timber, and the rope
settled down over the head Of the prey.
The trained cow-pony stopped with
jerk, planted his feet, and when the
rope became taut the mountain lion
was thrown violently off its feet, turn
inging a couple of somersaults in the
air.
For moment the animal lay still,
with the pony holding the rope braced
against 1t. But it was just for mo-
ment for, regaining its feet with a
jump, the fierce animal started for the
ranchman and his pony. The lion had
its ears laid back, its fangs exposed
and emitted blood-curdling yells.
Then commenced race for life. 1t
needed no urging for the sturdy cow
pany to make start. Turning as If on
pivot 1t took back track at mad
speed, with the mountain lion taking
up the slack Of the rope. 1t was
pretty chase for about half a mile,
when the endurance of the pony and
the severity of its somersault' throw
told on the mountain lion, which at last
found the pace too swift. The rope
again became taut as the lion dropped
behind, and it was not long before the
lion was dragged off its feet.
The rest was easy. When the pony
finally was pulled up there was a dead
mountain lion dragging along at the
end Of the lariat, a thankful man on
the pony's back, and a pony relieved Of
great fear.

Iowa Farmers Phones.

For the first time a census Of tele-
phones has been taken in the State of
Iowa, and this has disclosed that there
are now in use DDS, ,325 instruments. OF
this number 104,524 are classed as in
struments used in connection with
rural lines That is, they are used by
the farmers of Iowa.
During the past few years the Gov
ernment Weather Bureau in Des
Moines has arranged for telephone dis.
tribution of forecasts, and large per-
centage Of these farmers now receive
by telephone every morning the fore
cast of the weather for the coming
thirty-six hours. This, in fact, has
been one strong incentive for installa.
tion of telephones in the homes Of the
farmers Of the State.

Great American Hen.

Some one has figured that the Amer
lean hen each years earns enough to
buy all the silver and gold dug out of
the mines, all the sheep in the country
and their wool, and leave a balance
equal to the entire years crop Of rye
barley, buckwheat and potatoes, says
Farming. Or, as a hen enthusiast
writes, "she pays the interest on all
the farm mortgages, pays the entire
State and county taxes Of the whole
Union, and then leaves balance large
enough to give every man, woman and
child In the United States q dollar.

Corn Prices Being Maintained.

Southern Planter says that the yield
of corn will be a record one, probably
near 2,75OOOO,000 bushels, and yet in
the face of this prospect the price still
keeps good, showing the marvellous ca
pacity of the country to consume corn.
In the South the yield will likely be a
record one, and much more Of it will
be consumed on the farm than in the
past. 1t is a most cheering and signifi-
cant fact that more Of the corn crop
now goes on foot to market here than
ever before. This means fertility kept
on the farm and money In the pocket.

A ROSTERS age is determined by the
size of his spurs. If they are long he
Is antique" If there is a small but
ton on the ankle where the spurs come
later he is young bird. Ducks are
invariably judged by the under lip of
the bill. If a dressed duck will sus'
tain its weight by its under bill, LAY
it back and try another" for there is
no telling how old it is; certainly too
old to be real tender. But if the bill
snaps easily 1t is a young bird. Cob
blers are told by their spurs, the same
as roosters, the age of the hen turkey
being determined by the length of Its
beard. Aside from the test applied to
ducks there is one infallible rule which
can be applied with safety in all cases.
The back part of the breastbone can be
bent easily in young fowl. If it is
sharp and hard and refuses to yield
to pressure from your thumb 1t Is an
old bird.

For American Citizen..

When the visitor approached the dip
lomatic gallery of the Senate chamber
the door-keeper informed him, says a
writer In the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, that the gallery was reserved
for foreign representatives.
ut is, hey?" said the visitor. "Well,
l want to tell you right now that this
Is a free country and this is the Senate
of the United States, and demand ad-
mission in the name of American citi-
zenship."
"Oh" said the doorkeeper. "Why
didn't you say at first that you were
an American citizen? Just step round
to the second door from here. That
gallery is reserved for American citi-
zens."
With chest puffed up, the stranger
betook himself to the door indicated,
and was at once admitted to the public
gallery.

THEFTs OF THE TRADE RAT.
Always Leaves Something in Ex-
change for What 1t Steals.

Always Leaves Something in Ex-
change for What 1t Steals.
One of the oldest little animals in
existence Is the California wood rat,
better known as the trade rat" 1t
owes the latter name to the fact that,
though it Is great thief, it never
steals anything without putting some
thing else in its place.
The story is told of a paste pot
which had been left over night In the
assay office at the Silver Queen mine
and which was found in the morning
filed with the oldest collection of rub
bish. This was the work of trade rats.
They had stolen the paste and left in
exchange a piece Of stick, length of
rope, some odds and ends Of twine and
an unbroken glass funnel.
The object of the trade rat In so
scrupulously paying for what he takes
Is something Of mystery, but these
same rats certainly take the greatest
pleasure In the odds and ends which
they collect.
A description Is given of trade rats
nest found in an unoccupied house. The
outside was composed entirely of iron
spikes laid in perfect symmetry, with
the points outward. Interlaced with
the spikes were about two dozen forks
and spoons and three large butcher
knives.
There were also large carving fork,
knife and steel, several plugs of to-
bacco, an old purse, quantity of small
carpenter tools, including several aug
ers, and watch Of which the outside
casing, the glass and the works were
all distributed separately, so as to
make the best show possible. Altogeth-
er the oldest collection! None of these
things was Of any earthly use to the
rats. They must have collected them
just in the same way that child
boards up odds and ends to play with.

HOW TO TEACH CHILDREN.
Here Are Some SuSGes stiOns ny 1
Writer on Education.

Here Are Some Suggestions ny n
Writer on Education.
A writer in an American education
al journals offers some interesting
suggestions for teaching children, says
the Dundee Advertiser. 1t is useless,
he suggests, to instruct children by US
ing technical terms or even terms that
would be descriptive to a grown-up.
The point is Illustrated by an ingenious
parallel. Instead of telling a child to
''sit up straight" it would be better to
tell him to "sit up tall" In the same
way if child shouts too loudly in sing
ing. lie should lie told to ''listeu" after
taking "a long SMELL" and If lie real
ICES what Is meant and does it, this
will set the muscles of the waist and
check the flow of breath, while the
child will be unconscious to its ac-
tion."
"Such suggestion as the following do
far more good than scientific terms In
procuring the right one-production
from the child. Do not sing in a
Crawling tone. Do not sing in a scold-
ing tone" "a fish horn tone sounds
terribly descriptive, but we imagine its
vividness would be lost on an English
child. Sing with pleasant face. Sing
with a smile. Sing like the sweetest
bird you ever heard. Sing a kindly
tone. Sing a sweet, loving tone. Make
your lips sing to you. Whisper aloud
as though you wanted some friend in
the furthest c,rner of the room tc
hear you" 1t is to be hoped that
after all this there would be no dan
ger Of the children learning to sing in
a maudlin tone.

Profitable Apple Trees.

Fl. A. Squires, living near Dearborn
No., has 125 trees of Wealthy apples
and seventeen trees of Summer Queen
there are eight trees Of another early
sort, making $50 trees, or three acres
of apples ripening at this season. This
year Mr.. Squires sold the fruit from
these three acres for $1,006 net after
paying for the barrels in which the
fruit was shipped. More than $500 ar
acre is not bad record in a year like
this. OF course, Mr.. Squires had q
good crop, some trees making six and
seven barrels Of choice apples, but
prices were not as high as is often the
case.

Build n Toulouse.

Every farmer needs a good tool
house. 1t should be so convenient of
access that there need be no excuse for
leaving farm implements exposed to
the weather when not in use. Prop
erly cared for, many implements that
now last only few years ought to be
serviceable as long as the farmer lives
to need them. Besides, tool that has
not been rusted, warped and cracked
by exposure will work as well the Sec
ond and third year Of use as the first.
On many farms the tools are so much
injured by being left out of doors that
after the first season they cost more
for repairs than they save in labor.

The Human System
Must Adjust Itself
to Changing Tem-
peratureS.

er begins to change from warm to cold,
when cool nights succeed hot nights,
when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry
days, the human body must adjust
itself to this changed condition or per-
ish.
The perspiration incident to warm
weather has been checked. This de-
tains within the system poisonous ma
terials which have heretofore found es-
cape through the perspiration.
Most of the poisonous materials re-
tained in the system by the checked
perspiration find their way out of the
body, if at all, through the kidneys.
This throws upon the kidneys extra
labor. They become charged and over
loaded with the poisonous excretory
materials. This has tendency to in
fame the kidneys, producing functional
diseases of the kidneys and sometimes
Bright's disease.
Peruna acts upon the skin by stimu-
lating the emunctory glands and ducts,
thus preventing the detention of pois-
onous materials which should pass out.
Peruna invigorates the kidneys and en-
courages them to fulfill their function
in spite Of the chills and discourage
ments of cold weather.
