Taking the Order of the Court
Too Literally.

A droll incident is reported as hav
ing taken place in one of the pro-
vincia1 appeal courts in France. A
boy, about IA, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore a long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country. and immense
boots His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, "Comparaitre dams les af-
flares de son pere." (To appear in
his fathers sdit.)

Triumph of COURAGE.

Courage and the power of the hui
man eye" saved Walter Sergeant, a
prosperous rancher, in the Redwood
district, San Jose, when he was con-
fronted by hungry mountain lion the
other evening. Sergeant was driving
herd of cows to his home in the
foothills when he noticed the big cat
stalking him. AS it crouched for a
spring, Sargent turned and fixed the
beast with his eye. Man and lion
remained as immovable as statues for
a few seconds and then the animal
turned and trotted away.
