over rocks and windfalls, through thicket and

led the secret service followers race through
the broad streets of Washington, and the pace
was rapid and rough for miles.

Too Much Monotony.

In regard to the mistakes of nature
in making all living creatures unlike
in many ways, DR.. Willard Watson,
in Medical Queries and Notes, says:
If in a community of animals or
men all the young were always born
exactly alike, children like parents,
there could be no progressively
utter sameness. The hope and frui-
ton of progress must then lie In the
birth of unlike, and while many of
the unlike may be useless and dan
gerous, still among them must be
the valuable and the hope of coming
ages. Not all men who profess to
preach the doctrine Of dissent from
present conditions are to be regarded
as dangerous heretics in religion or
anarchists in social problems; they
have but taken the first step in pro-
gress, the revolt from the tame level
of life in which they live, the ting at
the chain of custom and convention
which letters them, and we kill them
when we can and deride them as
"cranks" when they escape our grasp.
1t is a noticeable fact that where
the gate of progress lies wide open,
as in physical science and medicine,
there is no revolt. no anarchist to
alright, only steady progress and
rapid advance.
Thus 1t appears that science revolts
uniformity and praises nature for
having made human being unlike.
Monotony and uniformity are ex-
tremely tiresome and displeasing.

A remarkable story Of an attack by
a wild animal has reached this city
from Pinos Altos, a mining camp
north of here. While Mr.. and Mrs
J. F. Campbell, an aged couple. were
sitting in their home about noon, a
wildcat emerged from nearby thick
ct. dashed through the open door and
attacked the woman.
Mrs: Campbell, who is nearly blind.
was terribly clawed and scratched by
the ferocious beast before 1t could be
beaten on. 1t was finally driven un-
der the bed and when it emerged to
renew the attack, Mr. Campbell, who
had hastily secured his rife, put a
bullet through its body.
Mrs. Campbell was so badly injured
that 1t was found necessary to place
her in the Ladies' Hospital OF this
city, where she is receiving medical
treatment.
1t is very Unusual for wildcat to
attack person unless cornered, and
the remarkable action of this one is
hard to account for. The woman
would undoubtedly have been killed
but for the presence OF her husband.
