Panther Rides on Engine

Seattle, Wash, December H.
While the engineer and fireman OF
a helper engine, stationed at Les
ter, were backing down the noun
tain early one morning last week,
| dreaming of home and friends, and
wishing that the apparently balmy
| air was not SO cold, "a panther that
looked to them as large as round
house jumped upon the tender
from a neighboring bank and
! sneezed violently at the train crew
The engineer hastily crawled
. through the window of the en-
CINE to the running board, while
! the fireman was practically para
lyzed, bethinking himself of a
haunch of venison that lay near
his head, on top OF the tender.
The engineer reached through the
window and threw open the throt-
tie, while the panther was thought
fully combing his whiskers. 1t
was the plan to scare the fierce
animal by speeding up, but it prov
ed abortive, for the animal rocked
not of the twenty-five miles an
hour that the engine came through
with but started for the venison
and incidentally for the fireman's
head.
At this the fireman awoke from
his trance, and seizing a red-fire
fuse that lay handy, he Lit it at
the firebox and handed it to the
panther. Just as the animal was
arranging to bite it off like con-
fectionery, the fuse began to sput
ter, burning his whiskers and scar
ing him almost stiff. With one
terrific jump the panther cleared
the coal pile and hit the timber
contiguous to the bank.
The fireman had a vision OF an
aurora OF singed cat while up the
bank scrambled the big pussy, with
it's tail carried at a right angle
Then the engine was slowed down
and it wal discovered that there
had been no casualties aside from
those that had been carried away
into the woods.
Since this remarkable accident
happened no fireman has dared TIC
work at the coal pile without q
bunch OF red-tire fuse close al
hand.

Misses Edith and Estelle Jones
were at home in a delightful way
to their friends on last Saturday
afternoon at a miscellaneous
showern in honor of Miss Lille
Keehart, now Mrs. Durward Huff
The affair was to be as old fashion
ed as possible, as one certainly
realized as they were met at the
door by Mrs. Jones, clad much as
she was thirty-five years ago. The
prospective bride was clad in a
white wedding gown of ancient
style, with old ear rings, etc.
which made her a typical picture
of a German bride of the "old cour
try" The rooms were appropriate
ly decorated and certainly pre-.
scented a merry scene with all the
young people in their grotesqut
costumes. A mock wedding ant
the opening Of the BRIDES parcels
caused great fun. Delicious re-
freshments Of frozen fruit salad
and a variety of cake were served
in the dining room, after which
the guests departed with many ca
pressions OF delight with the az.
ternoon's pleasure at this hospit-
! able home.

who loves Ireland-and
L. who, indeed, does not!-will be
interested in a attractively bound
little book written by William Charles
o'Donnell, jr., and entitled Around the
Emerald Isle" 1t has just come from
the press of the Roxburgh Company, Of
Boston.
Local interest should attach to this
work, as the author is minister OF the
gospel in this city.
For all it's guide-book sounding title,
Around the Emerald Isle is well
worth reading The present reviewer
had expected pages of sermonizing and
the usual indignation concerning con-
ditions as they are supposed to exist
in Ireland. Happily there is none of
this. Opening the book he found II
dedicated ito the best beloved and to
the fortunate little man who has in
herited many of her virtues. This
was interesting There was something
of the poets touch in ii. On the fol-
lowing page he found that the book
contained only impressions OF an
American tourist" and that these were
to be considered as treasures of the
heart rather than triumphs of the
mind.' Modesty Of this order is at
tractive, and the book was begun with
previous niisapprehensions dispelled.
Anecdotes abound in this work More
over, there is nothing stiff or pedantic
in the style, and one might well i'm
agine. so friendly is the tone. that the
chapters are personal letters writer
from an acquaintance abroad.
Speaking of the IRISH. Mr. O'Donnel
says: More interesting than Ireland ID

the Irishman himself. He is not to be
imagined a despairing pauper, nor, on
the other hand. flippant purveyor OF
haphazard humor. He may be poor, but
at heart the Irishman is a philosopher
and a patriot Humor is the soul Of his
philosophy, hope the life of his patriot
ism. In some sections filth, wretched-
ness, disease and poverty are still
alarmingly in evidence, but the pig-in-
the-parlor, the shillalah and the inyert-
ed pipe are not conspicuous features of
modern life. Old types remain, but a
new order prevails. There is much to
learn and unlearn; much to see and en-
joy, to admire and to deplore In tour
around the Emerald Isle
In Connaught Mr. O'Donnell ventured
one day to ask directions of a priest,
who, to his surprise. had once lived In
Newark, N. ]. He spoke familiarly OF
the streets, public buildings. churches
and people, and there on the village
street the Mayo priest and the Jersey
dominic had little love feast"
Toward the end of the book this ia
written "s the causes of Ireland's
unrest are many acting and reacting
upon each other-a tangle OF causes not
to be stated in sentence, and not to
be understood in a day. Mad jerking
does not unsnarl a tangle. Slowly the
fingers of wisdom, Justice. statesman
ship and patriotism are loosening the
knots. and Ireland is being prepared fol
a visitation OF prosperity such as may
atone in part for past adversities."
The book should prove of especial in
terest to those who have toured Ire
land. as well as to those who contem-
plate this pleasure.
