MAN ROPES MOUTAIN LION.
Hunter Pursues 1t up Tree and Twists
It's Tail to Dislodge 1t.

Montrose, COL, March 6.-The
largest mountain lion ever captured
in this part of the country was caught
on Wednesday by Url Hotchkiss, a
hunter and trapper of Colona, six
miles east of that place.
Hotchkiss started in quest of the
lion with his son George, Roy Hum
phrey and pack of dogs. The dogs
struck the trail and drove the lion
up a tree up which Hotchkiss climb
ed after it, unarmed except for a
rope. The lion chased him down the
tree several times, but finally Hotch-
kiss got within about three feet of
the animal and threw rope around
his neck.
The men at the other end of the
rope attempted to pull the lion out of
the tree but were unable to do so.
Hotchkiss worked around behind the
lion and forced him off the tree by
twisting his TAIL After getting the
lion down the men threw another
rope around his leg. Hotchkiss then
placed him on the saddle, fastening
his feet and head to the horn, climb
ed on behind and brought the animal
into Colona.
The lion stands fully three feet
high measures nine feet from nose
to the tail and weighs 146 pounds.

CHANGES IN HOUSE CHAMBER.
Preparations Begun to Accommodate
Increased Membership.

Washington, March 6.-Work was
begun to-day alienation of the
chamber of house of representatives
to accommodate the increased mem
bership of 435 that will assemble for
the extra session. A crew of car
penters invaded the chamber and
carried out the rows of desks which
have served the members for years.
Rows of benches will replace the
desks, giving an increased seating
capacity and a larger space about
the speakers desk. Small movable
desks would be placed in the cham
Der for the use of members in charge
of the bills in floor.
Installation of the benches will
mark the end of time honored GUS
tom of the house. There will be no
drawing for seats at the beginning of
the extra session. Members will not
be accorded fixed places in the cham
ber, but those attending will select
their seats as they enter the cham
ber each day. Some leaders may be
given fixed places.
The big house Office building will
have to be enlarged to furnish office
rooms for the increased membership.
Anappropriation of s224,000 has been
provided for the addition of a new
story to the structure, and work will
start before the extra session begins.
Meantime the surplus members will
be given quarters in rented build

THE FALL OF MONTGOMERY.
Interest i'm the Gallant Young Soldier
Never Lessons.

The death of General Richard
Montgomery has never been forgot
ten by the American people, says the
Rev. Thos. B. Gregory, writing in
the New York American. 1t was
1877 years ago that the young soldier
died so gallantly upon the bald pro-
omtory of Cape Diamond, but more
than four generations of time have
not suficed to dim his fame or to
weaken the hold that his memory
has upon the hearts of his country
men.
At once upon the beginning of hos
tilities between the Colonies and
England, the attempt was made to
conquer Canada. Schuyler, the
American commander of the north
ern department, being sick, the en-
terprise was confined to Montgomery,
then in his 39th year.
Starting from Ticonderoga in Au-
gust with 200 men, Montgomery, the
following month, laid siege to the
fortress of St. Johns which com
manded the approach to Montreal.
After siege of so days st. Johns
surrendered and on the 18th of No
vember, Montgomery entered Mon
treal in triumph.
Meanwhile Arnold was making his
famous march northward through
the forests of Maine and by way of
Kennebec and Chudiere rivers. Arm
old reached Quebec November IA,
the day after Montgomery capture
of Montreal, and early in December,
Montgomery appeared with his small
force, which raised the number of
the Americans to some 1900 men.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, in a
binding snowstorm, Montgomery
and Arnold began each furious at
tack at opposite sides of the town.
and each came near carrying the
point. Montgomery had almost forced
his way in when he fell dead, pierced
by three bullets, and this so chilled
the enthusiasm of his men that they
tagged until reinforcements drove
them back. .
About the same time Arnold was
severely wounded and carried from
the field. Taking Arnold's place,
Morgan, at the head of the Virginl-
ans, fought his way into the heart of
the town, and Quebec would certain
ly have fallen had not the attack
from the opposite quarter been stop
ped by the death of Montgomery.

A LITTLE BIT OF PARADISE.
Tahiti, in the South Seas, Place
that Fulfills Ones Dreams.

Raratonga gives you a kind OF
foretaste of the whole charm and
beauty of the South Seas. 1t is the
appetizer, the hors-d' 'oeuvre, not the
whole meal. Tahiti is the whole
thing; the real thing; the thing one
has dreamed about all ones life;
the thing which made Stevenson
leave Europe forever. All tellers OF
fairy tales, and all poets from Ho-
mer downward, have always imagln-
ed the existence of certain islands
which were so full of magic and
charm that they turned man from
his duty and from all tasks, labor or
occupation in which he was engaged,
and held him a willing captive who
would not sell his captivity for all
the prizes of the busy world.
Stevenson in one of his books
''The Wrecker," I think-says that
if a man who is toiling in some
English town were to be suddenly
transported to one of these South
Sea Islands, in the neighborhood OF
Tahiti, and had vision of the beauty
that is there, and then were to be
transported back again to his prosaic
and ugly surroundings, he would
say, AT any rate I haye had my
dream" That is how one feels when
one has seen Tahiti. One feels one
has had ones dream.
The Bay of Papeete curves inward
AS you sail into it you are sure to
see several white schooners at
anchor. At one side is a range OF
light blue volcanic hills stretching
out into the crystalline sea, remind,
ing one of Naples, Capri and Sor-
rento, and in the middle of the bay
there is a tiny little island, consist
ing of few cocoa palms. The sea
is a transparent azure; little white
houses are dotted all along the line
of the beach, nesting in greenery
We walked along the beach into
the little town and into the suburbs.
1t was spring in Tahiti and every
kind of imaginable blossom was
Haunting it's reckless and extrava-
CANT beauty. Everything grows wild
in Tahiti.
The people seemed extraordinarily
contented and invincibly indolent.
was walking along the main street
and wanted to get to the postoftice
which | knew was somewhere along
that street. l stopped at a store and
asked whether was going the right
way. The storekeeper-wh was a
Frenchman-said," Yes, you are 60
ing right" then asked if it was
far. The storekeeper said it was very
far indeed; it would take me a good
quarter of an hour or 20 minutes te
walk there. I asked him if I could
hire a conveyance, as I was in hur'
ry. He shook his head and thought
it unlikely. I then went on my way
I thought I would just time myself
and see how long it did take to reach
the postoffice. I walked fast, but
found to my amazement, that it took
me exactly three minutes to get there
Doubt it would have taken ma
tive of Tahiti 20 minutes There is
no such thing as hurry and no such
thing as energy in these islands,
Maurice Barring, in the March Metro

gressiye democrat 1eader-these are the three youngest men in the senate.
 Senator Ashurst, who is 39 years old has been in the senate since more than year ago. He is sworn enemy of the plutocrats and the"mon- ey power,' and perhaps is the most radical democrat in the senate. He is, with his black somDrero, his Prince Albert coat, and his breezy Arizona way of putting things, one of the sen ate's most picturesque figures.
 Senator Sheppard is we'll known in this city through his long service as congressman. He is 39 years old and looks at least five years young CT. Politically he stands with the radical wing of the democracy.
