FOR MILE BY
ANGRY MOUNTAIN LION.

SAN BERNARDINo, Cal, Nov. g.
Arthur Hines. while tramping along
from Big Meadows to Bear valley,
had ! the narrowing experience of
meeting face to face a huge mountain
lion, the first sighted in a ear in the
San Bernardino mountains.
The beast was %devouring the carcass
of a deer near the trail, when Hines
suddenly came upon 1t as he rounded
a turn In the path. The animal had
heard the approach of the man. and it
was crouched ready to spring when
Hines first saw 1t. Armed only with a
.32-calibre revolver, he decided that
safety lay only in fight, and he fed
for his life, with the beast following
behind him.
The animal followed him for a mile
before it dropped behind and disap-
peared in the underground.

BY ETHEL ROsEMON.

If you were the only woman member
of a school board wouldn't you think ii
your duty to make up in quality whal
you lacked in quantity?
If there were eight men on the board
wouldn't you have your say eight times,
just to fairly represent your sex? And
then if you were asked to resign, not
with a simple little hint, but with a
formidable whereas. resolved" just
because you had endeavored to make
your sweet feminine influence felt, well,
wouldn't you be just a little peeved?
Would you Vacate?
If you would you are not a fit person
for school boards, that is, of course, If
you knew you were in the right.

In said borough Miss Mary e. Liver
sey is a member of the board of edu-
cation. Is she received with open arms
by her eight male colleagues? Do they
all hang upon her words at every
board meeting? Well, maybe, but if
they do they don't find the hanging
process agreeable. Therefore they, the
male members of the board, have
adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, Miss Liversey has shown
herself to be very contrary and the ma
jority of the board finds it simply can't
get along with the lady member.
"Resolved, Miss Liversey be asked tc

something about MARY, Mary, quite

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 5.-(Speeial.)-A good demand continues in Europe, caus- ing Liverpool to fully respond to our advance. When our market opened with local selling at closing quotations, arbi- trage brokers were quick to sell abroad and buy here at the very wide difference This operation weakened Liverpool, but absorbed all the offerings in such man. ner that they did not come on the mar ket again.
 In the afternoon a covering demand from Wall street appeared, to find few sellers The basis of the strength Is found in the continental demand in Liv- erpool; so long as that continues it seems probable that any decline will be re- covered On the advance today as yes- terday the south appeared as seller.
 Liverpool should come 5 points higher tomorrow

VIOLENT OUTBREAK
 IN GRAIN PRICES
Most Pronounced Selling Pressure Noted for Weeks
 on the Exchange

Chicago, December 5.-Action taken by the leading owner of cash wheat here n using newspaper advertising space as a method of finding customers for his prop erty led today to the most pronounced selling pressure noted for weeks in the option trade on change.
 The outcome was violent break in prices with the close showing a loss of 1Ac 10 112c net with other staples suf- fering in sympathy Corn finished 7sc to 11sc down. oats off ss49sc, and imog products at decline of 5c to 271sc.
 Throughout the session the wheat mar ket seemed almost on the verge or de- morazation. Traders in general who were on the bull side were not only dis- heartened but also much puzzled at the unprecedented course pursued in advertis- ing millions of bushels of grain for sale as if the article offered was a depart ment store bargain instead of the most im- portant stock of food in the nation, ap- proximately estimated at $10,000, 600. 'The fact that the advertisement occupied only couple of inches of space at the bottom of column added to the mys- tification, but did not prevent the mar ket from dropping In nearly a vertical line with big houses liquidating and stop
 
 The effect was not confined to this city. Exchanges elsewhere, especially in the northwest and southwest are equally weak Surmises that possibly the oN- scure advertising of wheat for sale had some ulterior motive-heped to stop a worse decline. Recent talk Of govern ment investigation of alleged irregu1ari- ties in the grain trade was suggested as affording a clue to the real reason. With such contingency in view the tone of trading became comparatively, steady at the close.
 During the session May, the principal option, ranged from 9Slsc to 9s7sc, with last transactions 11sc net lower at 9S9sc.
 Corn sold at the lowest price in months Beside the weakness that spread from tie wheat crowd, there was depression on account of impending large receipts and because no corresponding call had come from the eastern consumer or distribu- ter May fluctuated between 62%c and 623sc, closing steady but Bc to 1c down at 62%c. Cash grades were weak. No 2 yellow old was quoted at 71c.
 In oats. there was @ great deal of un- loading by longs
 Short selling was of an influential sort. The smash in wheat and corn furnished the impetus. Top and bottom figures 4SM@49c, with the close 1sa9sc net lower at 4901491sc
 Extreme weakness developed in pro- visions. It was due largely to heavy re- ceipts of hogs at important packing cen ters. In addition shipments of product were relatively small.
 Pork showed a drop of 221hc to 2715c, lard 71ac to 12,sc, and ribs SEC to 1Oc.
 Future quotations were as follows:
