GIRL IN A MIDNIGHT
HUNT KILLS BOBCAT

DEBEQUE, Colo. Feb 2-That
she can shoot just as we'll as she can
dance was amply demonstrated the
lo'her night by Miss Maude McMullen,
the daughter OF Fancher living near
mere. Returning from dance after
midnight the girl secured Il rifle and
trailing wildcat for nearly two
hours finally brought him down and
exhibited him at the breakfast table
as trophy of her midnight adven-
tures
Miss McMullen had been attending
dance here and when homeward
bound with her escort she discovered
the tracks OF a wildcat in the snow
and remarked that she would like TO
have the skin for her parlor.
Her escort offered TO go after the
animal In the morning. but the girl
said she guessed she would do IL her.
self, and before morning. Thinking
she was joking the young man left
her at the ranch home, intending to
capture the wildcat the next day, If
possible.
Arriving home, Miss McMullen doff-
ed her evening gown, and although
II was long after midnight she routed
mounted her pony, and, rifle in hand,
started to follow the trail of the bob
eats. She rode for more than an hour
before the dogs found the trail, and
few minutes later she came upon
the cat. One shot from her rife kill
ed the animal, and singing the car
cass across the saddle she calmly
rode home and retired shortly before
daylight.
1t was not until the next morning
that the family learned OF the mid
night exploit OF the young woman
Miss McMullen takes her adventure
as a matter of course. She has been
in many similar exploits before and
her home is furnished with deer, bear
and other trophies of the hunt In the
days before game became as scarce
as IL Is now IN the mountains around
Dubuque. Miss McMullen is only %
years of age. but of sturdy, athletic
build and an expert with rifle and
horse.

Sense Of Direction In Bees.

The directive sense possessed by bees
is the object of research made by M.
CASTOR BONNER of Paris, and he seems
to have proved that bees possess q
special sense like carrier pigeons. Ex-
periments showed that bees can fly
two miles to their hives even when
deprived Of the organs Of sight and
smell. Many scientists and among
others Dadent have always declared
that bees r guided by the sense OF
smell and that they can smell flowers
1T one and a half miles. Bonnier's ex.
periments proved that bees detect
doors at only short distances.

Peters, who was a photographer, and
Sam Stetson, an engraver, were kept
busily at work getting out the plates.
They had some new trick that they
were experimenting on for long

they found what they were after.
Plates were made for the bills OF a
dozen or more banks, and Forbes.
who was a good Judge, said that they
were the finest plates ever used to
stamp bogus money.
when the plates were about done
l went with Forbes and got three
presses, which he had sent to va

The only delay We met with was IN

we had about 100000 in money.
After all the bills had been rejected

were now ready for the real business
to begin. A careful comparison of the
counterfeits with q magnifying glass
did not show the slightest difference
from the genuine. So confident was
Forbes of the money that We sent one

only means by which Forbes coun-
terfeit could be detected.
II Is not likely that another gang
similar to the Forbes crowd ever Will
arise In the United States. The coun'
terfeiters Of today are photographers,
who bear the same relation to the
high-class maker of steel plates that
the coin molder does to the old-time
crook who cut his own steel dies. The
silk threads. the secret process paper

served to render the finer forms OF
