Photographing . Panther.

A panther is not easily killed and
will often revive with very unpleasant
results, as on certain occasion in the
Deccan. He appeared to be quite
dead, and one OF the spectators rushed
up with camera on a stand to obtain
q picture Of the supreme moment. he
got his photograph. and. strange to
say, 1t survived what followed. but no
sooner had he taken 1t than the pan
ther revived, tore himself loose and
went for the photographer. Somehow
the man escaped, but the camera was
sent dying, and. disconnected by his
encounter with 1t. the panther turned
and made for the nearest tree, up
which he went as quickly as a mon
key. Now. the tree was crowded with
interested spectators, and for three or
four strenuous seconds (untu the pam
ther was shot we enjoyed a spectacle
of natives dropping to earth with loud
thuds like ripe plums from a jungle
plum tree as the panther approached
them.-Wide World Magazine.

he was in such dire need Of % cents

"Well, my sister, she is seven years
old, and this is her birthday, and she

her a present, because we're poor, and
she doesn't get presents like some lit

Upon being questioned as to how he

For the sake Of the sick sister Rover

Does 1t seem pitiful that a young

Yes, but there is in the boy the max

ingredients Of manhood-a tough fiber
and q warm heart.
The world is bigger than he-so pa

No more well find the ice too dear!
A little sunshine, over-warm-
A rain or so--a thunderstorm

And then the straw hat will be hid.
A few more moons of sultry glow
And then cheer up! It's goin' to snow.
Why dwell on troubles that pass by
A swiftly as we lose July
And August In the record past?
Like Joys, our sorrows cannot last.
The autumn gold will shine once more
And eild the withering branches DER.
This world a gorgeous charms will
show
And then cheer up; It's goin' to snow!

England earnestly desires peace.
She is more than willing to negotiate
arbitration treaties. enlarge the pow
ers OF The Hague tribunal, accept the
convention of the naval congress. join
in the establishment of an interna-
tional prize court, and do all she can
to bring about the time when war
shall be no more. But rulers of other
nations who infer from this that she
can be imposed upon will do we'll to
revise their opinions. The speech of
Chancellor Lloyd George at the Man
sion House last Friday night is regard
ed as a warning to Germany. And
there is no question that he voiced the
views of the cabinet and of the Eng
lish people. At the very time President
Taft, at Manassas, was uttering felici-
tations over the negotiation of arbitra-
ton treaties with Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy and the Meth
erlands, as we'll as, tentatively, with
Japan, Chancellor Lloyd George, the
mouthpiece of the other grand divis-
ion of the English-speaking race. was
