RaisuH has occupied the public attention
to a considerable extent during the last
few years by his aggressive activity in
Morocco, and has been described as the
most picturesque bandit Of modern times
Raisuli was a native OF Zinat and an ordi-
nary farmer in his early life He took to
brigandage some years ago. He started by
making raids on caravans in the interior
and later. moved his field of operations to
the coast. where he would threaten the
ports In October. 1895. he proclaimed him
self governor OF Arzilia. and two weeks
later was actually appointed to that post by
the sultan. Raisuli first became prominent
before the outside wofid by his capture
OF w. B. Harris. TaHeicr correspondent
OF the London Times. whom he released on
payment OF a large ransom. Next he
seized Ion Perdicaris. ? native of New
Jersey. and this feat was the occasion OF
the dispatch OF United States squadron
to the Moroccan coast and the utimatum:
"Perdicsris. alive or dead" which caused
great enthusiasm al The republican ma
tional convention in chicaEo. which nomi-
mated MIR. Roosevelt for president. ran
som of $4,000 was paid by the sultan of
Morocco and Mr.. Perdicaris was released.
RaIsuIrs last exploit that attracted the
attention of outsiders was the capture OF
Sir Harry MacLesn. an Engishman in
the service Of the sultan Of Morocco. and
his retention for seven months, during
which time the prisoner was subjected to
more or less in treatment Sir Harry was
finally released on the payment to Raisuli
OF ransom OF $4,000 and q guarantee
from the British government Of protection
and Immunity from arrest. Raisun had
many enemies in his own country.

BATTLE WITH A COUGAR.

Word has just been received from
Salmon River, in the northern part
of the county, of an exciting battle
with cougar, in which plucky
woman, Mrs. P. Gladwon, carried
off the honors. In the fight, which
lasted for half an hour, City Engi-
neer Morris Wygant and United
States inspector bore a part.
The cougar entered the yard of
Mrs. Gladwon while she was hanging
up clothes. She did not observe the
beast until it was within twenty-five
feet of her. She then turned and
saw it ready to spring. She screamed,
and as the brute leaped toward her
she threw an armful of clothes over
its head.
Her cries and the snarls of the
beast instantly attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. Wygant and several 9TH
ers, who were in the house, and they
entered the arena backed up by sew
eral dogs. For several minutes it
was nip and tuck between the dogs,
the enraged cougar and the men.
Finally, after tearing the clothes to
pieces and injuring a couple of dogs,
the animal made its escape into the
brush, apparently uninjured.-New-
port Correspondence Portland Ore

WISE WORDS.
Worry Is half of weariness.

Worry Is half of weariness.
Paradise is not found by fleeing
from pain.
Revenge never is so sweet as when
foregone.
The critical eye remains longest in
ignorance.
No man is undone as long as he has
a work to do.
You cannot bless men until you be-
lieve in them.
He is lost already to whom sacri-
fee appears as folly.
The saddest slavery is that OF being
ruled by our pleasures.
The sins we wink at to-day are the
ones we wed tomorrow.
Spiritually the most helpless are
those who refuse to help.
Life barriers that resist all force
crumble before friendship.
The fool is known by Offering his
forethought after the event.
Tomorrow burdens always prove
too much for to-day's back.
You have no right to set up your
fad as another mans faith.
Keep the heart healthy and happi-
ness will take care of itself.
Nothing heals. our own wounds
quicker than helping others.
Men are to be known by their aims
rather than by their origins.
If you would be far-sighted you
must learn to live on the heights.
It's a sad day when man lets his
interests determine his principles.
The secret of success lies some
where between wishing and willing.
The weariest man in this world Is
the one who is running from work.
Sometimes fleeing from the devil
Is only pretext for fleeing from
duty.
Religion has no home in the man
who does not show his religion at
home.
Our own sins grow fast behind our
backs while we are gazing at the
faults of our neighbors.
1t is better occasionally to do a
foolish act of charity than to COM
NIT the folly of an uncharltable life.
The man who can make his chill
dren smile does not need to worry
over his inability to preach sermons.

Chicago Tribune.

Here dwelt the larger trou--flsh OF

of way and habitation, originally ac-
quired by strength Of tail or fin, and
now held by reputation and rights of
long possession.
With gentle turn of wrist, and
clever calculation of strength, duly
allowing for the cool breeze hurrying
down the valley. VINEYARD seached
each pool and corner for the feedish
fish; and already the weight Of his
creel was of some consideration upon
his back, with every now and then a
thrill Of life as some brave trout gave
his last conyulslye kick.
Presently Adonis. who, having con-
ceived the idea that there might be
wfter-rats about. had turned his at
tention to the rivers edge, looked
up and broke the silence.
"Woff!" he said--an internal in
terlabial bark, the sound of which
appeared to strike the cleaning bar

again to the inward parts Of his mus.
cular person.

master. absently, being at that mo-
ment absorbed in the deft placing of
his flies beneath an overhanging
branch across the stream.

kindly interest, and following the d.

cause Of his annoyance.

down stream toward Walso. But In
this Ivan Meyer was mistaken.

CHAPTER X.
The Artist.

The terrace was a charming feature
Of Broomhaugh. 1t was formed by
an old wall built up sheer from the
sloping bank Of the Broomwater, and
was paved by huge slabs of rough
stone. now worn smooth by the tread
OF many feet. The house itself was
low and gray, being built Of the same
S.one. Grim and sturdy, 1t harmon
ICED with the bare hills around and
above 1t. Signs there were still OF
the old Notifications, notably the
wall forming the terrace, which had
rendered Broomhaugh practically i'm
pregnable from the riverside in the
olden times. Below it, amid the
whispering leaves Of silver birch and
mountaln-ash, ran the little RIVERA
trout stream, such as one finds only
within the shadow OF the .Cheyiot-
and on this fair morning its gentle
ripple scarcely reached the ears of
those upon the terrace, for rain was
, sadly wanted. A downpour of two
y lhours sweuM convert the clear brown
water into yellow 'torrent rushing
down tothe sea, as II ashamed of its
own impurity. Then, woitld the air
at Broomhaugh grow heavy with a
dull. roar rising from the tree-clad
valley; beneath, and old Lee, the gar
densr,1 would peer down through the
branches and mutter: "Eh, but she's
q big watter!" AS the waters grad
ually subsidized, the old fellow was
wont to hobble away to his little cot
tage, and there with trembling,
clumsy fingers, would adjust his rod
. and laboriously disentangle his cast,
In readiness for Mrs. Mistiey's sug-
gestion that he should go down to
the burn and catch a basket of fish
for breakfast.
d" AS Lena and VINEYARD paced slow
ly backward and forward on the ter
race awaiting the colonel, the ripple
uf the stream awakened within the
fellows heart fishermans longing
for the sight of running water.
Presently Lena stopped at the cor
ner of the terrace, and stood motion
less, gazing down the narrow valley
where, like a silver thread, the
Eroomhaugh ran it's tortuous course.

PASSING OF PRAIRIE CHICKENS
Wise Bird That Knows Too Much To
Make Nest in Harvest Fields.

If jury of students of nature from
the Kansas prairies IS ever gathered
together and the question put to
them: What is causing the disap-
pearance of the prairie chicken?'
they would not all answer, Hunt
ers."
Very probably there would be a
hung jury, and the unexpected ver-
dict of that part of the jury refus'
ing to lay the blame on the gunners
would be: "The passing of wild
prairie hay" A prairie chicken Is a
pretty wise bird. She will not lay
eggs in tame hay. Somehow she
knows that a mean looking machine
with big cutting blades will soon
come along and sweep the field of its
mantle of green glory and expose her
nest to the elements, robbers and
other devastators. She shuns the
tame grass but seeks the prairie hay.
If prairie hen, say men who claim
to know, cannot find wild hay fields
in which to build her nest she will
60 dry"
But the pheasant is not so wise.
This bird is being planted" in Kan
sas by the State game warden. 1t Is
an imported bird and does not yet
know the "Kansas language" Strange
to say, 1t is alfalfa that proves the
pheasant's chief enemy. She will
build her nest in the alfalfa fields
and then later shrek like blazes be-
cause the mower has swept her nice
shady home away. The frequent cut
ting of alfalfa does not even give the
pheasant mother chance to fix up
one good setting" and get them good
and warm.-Kansas City Journal.
