the first thing he did on reaching

her establishment and indignation, he
gave expression to this sentiment:

process taking four months.
The wee chick has no feathers and much
resembles pottery creation. 1t walks me-

Tuscalooloo, Nev.-One of the quaintest
exhibitions of mother love which ever drew
tears to the eyes of a matinee girl was that
which this small bustling city witnessed to-
day when number of town officials off op
junket, returned to tell of the manner in
which mountain lion protected it's young.
The officials had come to point in a
mountain pass and were surprised to see a
little distance ahead of them male and
female mountain lion rolling a gigantic
boulder down the side Of a hillock. Deity
the pair placed the big rock against hole
in the face of the mountain and then de-
parted in search of food. 1t was marvellous
in the eyes of the city officials and they pro-
ceeded to investigate. In the cavern they
found seven lion cubs, playing peeka-boo,
secure from attack.
The watchers hid short distance away
and few minutes later were greeted by
the soft footballs of the returning lions.
The male, loosening small rock beneath
the boulder allowed it to slip few feet
to the right and both animals passed into
the cavern and out of sight.

traced big one into a clump of trees when
to my surprise, l saw fly towards me full
grown jack rabbit equipped with eight pairs
OF wings. The rabbit flew faster than the
fastest train ever rode upon. When my as
tomshment had somewhat subsidized I aimed
my rifle at point about mile ahead of the
queer animal and so fast did it fly that it
ran right into the shot After half an hours

The only explanation of the
strange occurrence was given
by an old Indian who is said
to have lived in this section
200 years. He is known as Big
Chief Kick-a-Hole-in-the-Sky,

the chief of the happy hunting
ground vented his wrath upon
