A Terrible Creature.

When Albert Henry Savage Lander
reached st. Petersburg on his way
from the forbidden land, the fact was
duly chronicled, and the London press
associations sent cable messages to
Australia telling Of the hair-breadth
escaeps and manifold sufferings. The
Melbourne Times received but short
note, which was this:
"A Savage Lander arrived in st.
Petersburg today from Tibet after SUI.
fering greatly at the hands of the ma
tives."
This was meager enough, but the
news editor was equal to the occas-
ion. The following morning among
the other matters Of news. the readers
Of the Times found this startling in
formation:
"A savage landor got into st. Peters
burg yesterday, and the people of the
city were terrified. After considerable
difficulty, the beast. which came from
Tibet, was captured. taken to re-
mote place and there dispatched. It
IL said that this is the first animal
OF the sort ever seen in Russia. How
he reached the city after his fights
with the natives of Tibet, which is a
comparatively unknown country. is a
mystery. "-MacDougall's Magazine.

Returning to his native town some
time ago. the attorney met an old
darkey in the road.
Hello, uncle" he said, but the old
man did not recognize the boy he used
to know in the prosperous looking
citizen who addressed him.
WELL asked the lawyer, how are
the Blank family"
"Oh, they're all right" said the old
darkey. Jim Blank has gone to Phil
adelphia, and done made lot of
money. He's lawyer. sah.'
