Made Him a National Hero.

His vigorous assertion of the Monroe
doctrine in the Venezuelan boundary
case, even to the extent of inviting
war with Great Britain, swept away
partisan prejudices for the time and
made President Cleveland q national
hero.
"a public Office is public trust" In
seven words. is Mr.. Cleveland's noblest
literary creation.
Time softens even political asperi-
ties. 1t is yet too early for unbiased
history TO be written around the Cleve-
land administrations, but one may
venture the prediction that, when the
scroll Of history is made up, on the list
of the greater American presidents
will be the name of Grover Cleveland,

GUARDS HUBBY WITH GUN.
Bride of Seventy Defes Her Relatives
to Separate Them.

.Meriden, Conn.-To prevent her rel
atives from separating her from he1
husband, who is 80 years her junior,
Mrs. Samuel A. Mallory, a bride or
70, has in1renched herself in her farm
house at East Lyme, with a shotgun
trained on the approach to drive pack
constables who are seeking to serve
papers in a suit for the annulment Oh
her marriage. So far none OF them
has tempted fate by crossing the line
and Mrs. Mallory is in possession OF
her husband.
The annulment suit was brought by
Fred Leeds of Preston, who alleges
Mallory became the fourth husband OF
his sister, not because he cherished
anv affection for her, but because ne
had a co-etous eye on the s25,OO0 Tor
tune she possessed. When it became
known that Mallory and the wido"
were to marry strong efforts were
made to prevent it, but without sue
cess.
Although the prospective bride was
nearly twice as old as her prospective
husband, both of them declared the at
fair was a love match, pure and sim
ME and that they would brook no in
reference with their plans. SO the!
were married and would be living hap

against the constables.

The bull wheeled about, planted his

something unusual had been going Oh
wherever the dog had been.
Instead of going home, he followed
the dog over the trail the animal nau
made in coming to him after being
called by the whistle. The dog lea
him to a big tree at which there was
lying a young mountain lion Win
which the dog had evidently hal a
tussle, The lion had every appearance
of being dead and showed the marks
Of the dogs teeth upon his neck. Sed-
lax supposed the lion was dead and
was making arrangements to carry
him home when the animal gave
signs of restoration of life, and re-
covered so rapidly that he had to act
very quickly in order to get rope
wound around him.
He at once conceived the idea OF
capturing the lion alive, and with TINS
object succeeded in getting 1t to his
cabin, at which place he made the lloI
fast in the stable.
For four days the lion refused tt
eat anything and evidently rebelled a
it's captivity. However, on the nth ne
ate everything which was given u
him, and has apparently recovered
from the fight with the dog.
From the indications around the
tree Mr.. Sedlak thinks the dog ha'
been fighting with the lion which NJ
CAPTURED alive and also that there wa
another lion in the tree during tina
time. and that as soon as the dog lei
to answer the call of the whistle tn
lion which was up the tree came dow
and got away.
This is one of the few instance
on record where a live lion has bee
taken, and if the dog had been Ell
gagged in the struggle as long as nj
master thinks he had been, 1t mus
have been battle royal.

tunes its demise is fastened by the in
adherence, if not the opposition, of the
press at large, not participating in the
special support and special fayOrs be-
slowed upon the special organ. Many
examples of too much official organ
might be given. For instance. the
Texas Wool Growers Association
never held meeting after it provided
itself with an official organ, though it
was Virile success prior to that time.

promoters began to show faVOritism 10
