Two English clergymen, one a
very stalwart and muscular Chris
uan, the other a frail little man,
went for a sail at Brighton, accom-
panied by an old salt. When they
were some distance out at sea the
wind commenced to blow a gale, so
the sailor hauled down the sheet
and said, Now one Of you gents
and me will have to take to the oars
to get her home" The muscular
Christian said, "very well, my
friend will row, and will pray"
"No, no. responded the sailor;
you row, Let the little un pray"

Little Jonathan Edward had often
begged his mother to take him to
church. That was his hearts desire.
SO one fine Sunday morning mother
took little Jonathan Edward, who,
all agreed, was marked for the min
istry, to a neighboring sanctuary.
There was much in the church to
arrest the lads attention. lie
seemed to be deeply impressed, and
then, becoming thoughtful, he
turned and asked in a rather loud
whisper, "But, mother, where's the
monkeys"
When mother recovered her pres
ence OF mind she said: "Why, my
dear, there's no monkey in church.
What made you think OF such an
absurd thingS"
"why-why-you said there was
an organ in church, and ! thought
there would be a monkey too."-

FIGHTING A PANTHER.

noises of the jungle. My shikari and

form built in the boughs of tree
on the edge of the jungle. Below
us the underground was black and

Suddenly there was a movement as

and begun to creep away. Just at
that moment the moon rose and
revealed to us the 1.-THE body of a
panther Sinking through the under
growth. A shot rang out, and with
a yelp of pain the panther disap-
peared into the bushes.
With the sunrise we descended
from the platform and began to
examine the panther's trail. The
effect of the shot was shown by the
patches of blood on the ground,
which led us through a couple Of
hundred yards of thick jungle.
After crawling on hands and knees
under the brushwood we reached a
narrow nullah. A little beyond
this we came upon the wounded

the range was too long and the shot
proved futile. The disturbance had
the result, however, of startling the
animal into falling from the tree

on its track. II led finally to a deep
and thickly wooded nullah, which
had taken the form of a horseshoe.
The panther entered the nullah at
the center Of the bend and turned
along the left arm, growing angrily
as it covered the ground in heavy
strides. We kept about twenty yards
from the nullah and skirted it along
the right until the top Of the bend
was reached. Here n halt was made,
while approached the nullah. the
panther growing away at the other
end, about 200 yards distant.
Then all was still. The animal
seemed TO have vanished. Suddenly

feet, having doubled back along the
water course, without making the
slightest noise. Caught by surprise

next moment the panther was on
me and had fixed It's teeth in my
arm.
Suddenly my little fox terrier
Toby flew at the panther and fixed
itself on its back, tearing hard at
its neck. This diversion caused the
panther to leave me TO attack the
dog. and was able TO staggcr up
