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

VIII ~ On ~ SC DCo@&s
1t was foolish thing for him to do,
nor can he account for the notion that
possessed him, but Nate Gardner,
Fall River County ranchman, roped
mountain lion and had a 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 600 yards die
tant The surprise of both man and
lion was mutual, and for a moment
they stood looking at each other. Then
tine cat gave one of It's screaming cries
and started for the trees.
Reused by the movement, Gardner
put spurs to his mount and pursued,
loosening up his larlat 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 eow-pony stopped with
jerk, planted his feet, and when the
rope became taut the mountain lion
was thrown Violently off its feet, turn
inging couple of somersaults in the
air.
For a moment the animal lay still,
with the pony holding the rope braced
against it. 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-curdllng yells.
Then commenced a race for life. 1t
needed no urging for the sturdy cow
pany to make a start. Turning as II on
a pivot 1t took a back track at mad
speed, with the mountain lion taking
up the slack of the rope. 1t was a
pretty chase for about half 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 1t 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 larlat, thankful man on
the pony's back. and q pony relieved Of
great fear.

THEFTs OF THE TRADE RAT

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 1t is a great thief, 1t 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 piece Of stick, length Of
rope, some odds and ends of Irvine 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
description Is given Of a 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 a 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.

HAS A SINGULAR LIBEL LAW.

Australia Protects It's Citizens who
Have Small Pride of Ancestry.
The libel law of Australia is the
queerest In the world. He who is sued
for libel there must not only prove
that the accusations he published were
true, but also that to publish them
was for the public benefit. Elsewhere
the truth of the accusation alone needs
to be proved.
An Australian sheepraiser explain
ed this queer libel law at wool sale.
Australia was practically colonized
by convlcts," he said There is no use
denying this. The colonizers Of Aus
tralia were convicts In the main.
The descendants Of these convicts
are now Australians leading families,
the richest, the most influential, the
most intelligent the most respected.
And yet these excellent people were
In the past at the mercy of every
editor. Let them get into the small
est squabble or dispute with some
editor and the man would bring them

printing their ancestry, by showing
that Sir John Smiths great-grand-
father had been sent out for robblng
an old woman Of ST. or that Judge
Browns great-aunt, while employed as
a servant girl, had tried to poison her
masters son, with whom she was In
love.
1T Is undeniably true that the best
Australians have convict blood In their
veins. The newspapers that they quar-
relied with used to taunt them with
their convict blood. Hence the present
queer libel law, which protects them,
for, Of course, it can never be for the
public good to publish that the grand
mother Of Judge So-and-So or the
great-uncle Of DR.. Blank was a con-

FIRST MORMON TEMPLE.
II Was Massive Stone Structure
Built by Prophet Joseph Smith.

Built by Prophet Joseph Smith.
The first shrine OF Mormonism Is
still standing at Kirkland, Ohio. If the
occupants of the little cemetery near
1t could rise says the Ohio Magazine
they would tell how many fevered
zealot gave his lands, his home and his
all to provide funds for the building Of
the temple.
1t was in 1880 that Smith appeared
in Kirkland, and with his coming there
was a social revolution the like of
which Ohio had never witnessed. Hus-
bands left their wives and children,
mothers deserted their homes and ba-
bies were placed in the poorhouse. The
end came when Joseph Smith was com
PEELED to flee the State of Ohio The
temple was all left behind.
"a store house of the Lord" as
Smith called 1t, was begun In 1881 and
by 1884 was completed. Its foundation
was laid on seven small ridges, or hills,
in imitation of the Rome of old. The
dimensions were about so by 125 feet.
The temple stands to-day about as 1t
was when built. On the first floor Is
the main audience room, filed with
walnut benches, surrounded by high
railing The doors to the pews have
locks or catches, so that when closed
whoever IS speaking is reasonably sure
of holding his audience.
At each end of the room a series Of
elevated thrones, one rising above the
other, marks the position during wor-
ship used by the dignitaries of Joseph
Smiths reign. Rows of hooks In the
ceiling show how the curtains which
were once used were arranged to divide
the floor into four apartments.
The floor above Is bare and desolate
looking. About sixty chairs placed here
indicate that 1t is used as a sort Of
lecture hall, but In the days of Smith
curtains divided this apartment just as
below.
Rollers fastened to the ceiling of this
second floor, together with a system Of
pulleys, enabled the operator to raise
or lower the curtains of both first and
second floors at the same time In the
third story several partitions running
north and south make number Of sep
arate chambers.
The Recognized Church Of Jesus
Christ OF Latter Day Saints the body
which worships in this temple now,
tries to follow literally the book of
Mormon, which, be it known, prohibits
polygamy. The doctrine Of plural wives
was one of Smiths revelations" Yet
this sect defies Joseph Smith, polygamy
and all.
