Photosraphins = Panther.

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

Heels to Match Walk.

"In every theater audience there are
critical persons who are prolific with
suggestions for making the play more
realistic" said stage manager.
''Some Of these hints are worth con-
sidering too. In one play that was
staged not long ago the biggest hit
was made by character actress who
had to wear dOwn-at.she-heel shoes.
On the third day Of the New York
run received letter from shoemak-
er. who called my attention to the fact
that the woman's gait and her shoes
did not match. Her heels were run
down on the outside. whereas the walk
she assumed on the stage must inevi-
tably cause her shoes to run over on
the inside. That was point that
had escaped the notice Of everybody
In the company. Upon looking into
the matter We found plenty Of EVIL
dence to uphold our critic. and we Sc.
cured pair Of property shoes with
heels worn away on the inside. New

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Dec. IL
His face turned toward the setting sun

granddaughter, Princess Kaw-Paw-Qua

The childs christening took place in
the Cave of the Winds, under the Horse
shoe Falls, where in 1886 Chief Thunder
Water was named by his parents, people
Of the Oscanbee tribe of Kansas. while
they were on their way to pay a visit
to the Indians near Montreal. The
ceremony here was performed by the
Church, this city. who anointed the
babe Of eleven months with spray from
the cataract.
Afterward. by way of protest. Chief
Thunder Water, with a handful of his
people made an address for the pagan
of the great falls. he said:
1.-The Christian says that the pagan
Is a fool. I was raised pagan. l have
lived a pagan, and I shall die pagan.
I have seen the Catholics warning
against the. Protestants. the Prot;
both warning against the Jew. The
Indians never warred among them
selves about religion. This child Is
christened because she lives under
Christian nation and will have to obey
Christian laws. But she shall later be
named a pagan. and when she is old
enough to decide for herself she shall
choose between Christ and Manitou.'

educator, was found dead in a shallow
stream at the foot of Concord hill,

DR.. Horace Darlington, the family
physician, says that death was not due
to drowning, as there was no water in
the lungs, but believes that Prof. Short
lidge died from a stroke, after the long
walk, fully a mile. The body was
found not long after his death. 1t is
believed.
Prof Shortlidge was seventy-nine
years of age. He has been sick in bed
