Took Him at His Word.

In the year Of 1883 the forces of
King Alfonso VI. attacked the Moors
and drove them out of Madrid. In
this connection there is legend that
the Segovians, who were allies of AL
fOnso, had been checked by the SHOWS
in the mountain passes of Fuenfria
and were therefore late in overtaking
the main body of the army, which had
sat down before Madrid. Sire" they
inquired of the king, where shall we
campY Inside the CITY," returned AL
fonso with a sneer, being angry with
them because of their hardness. They
took the king at his word, carried the
walls, and the next morning the ban
ner of Segovia was floating from a
turret of the gate of Guadalajara.

Chsetahs Trained For the Hunt.

Trained cheetahs are used IN Persia
and India in much the same manner
that hounds are used in European and
North American countries. The game
they are used to hunt is principally
deer and antelope. The cheetah is az
animal with black and brown spots re-
sembling a leopard, but longer in body
and limb. The Indian princes keep
packs Of them for the hunt The heads
of the hunting cheetahs are usually
covered with hood until within 200
yards of the game The hoods are
then removed. and the animals creep
stealthily toward the herd and, having
approached as near as possible, pounce
upon their prey, killing with one blow
of the paw,-Popular Mechanics.
