very Indian lines, came q four-mule

Hamlin and a dozen other men were
still in saddle. Without orders they
dashed forward, squirting maddened
horses into the ranks of the Indians,
hurting them left and right, firing into
Infatuated red faces, and slashing
about with dripping sabres. Into the
lane thus formed sprang the tortured
mules, sweeping on with their precious
load Of ammunition. Behind closed in
the squad Of rescuers, struggling for
their lives amid q horde Of savages.

Roped a Mountain Lion.

An immense mountain non, the lafS
est ever captured in this part of the
country, was caught in most sensa-
tional manner by Cri Hotchkiss, a IA
nous hunter and trapper of Colona,
miles east Of that place.
Hotehkiss heard of the lion, and i'll
company with his son, George, and an
other companion, he started out with
n pack of dogs. The dogs struck the
trail and freed the lion. Hotchkiss
climbed a tree in which the lion was
clinging, armed only with rope. The
lion chased him down the tree several
times, but finally Hotchkiss got with
in about 3 feet of him and threw the
rope around his neck.
The men on the other end OF the
rope attempted to pull tile lion out OF
the tree. but were unable To do so.
Hotchkfss worked around behind the
lion and twisted his tail until they
Jared him loose. After getting the
lion down they threw another rope
around his leg Hotehkiss brought him
INTO Colona.

of their wonderful discoveries, the gey-
sers. mud volcano. Yellowstone Lake.
and the marvellous Grand Canyon and
falls were TIE objects that most obses-
sed them. While these features of the
park are still predominant ones, the
wild game found there is rapidly be-
coming not only Il matter of interest
To park tourists, but valuable Item
to the country otherwise.
There are 500 or more antelope, the
SAINT number Of deer, more than ooo
moose, nearly 200 buffaloes, zoe noun
tain sheep, any number of black and
grizzly bears, and 10000 elk by actual
count, that make Yellowstone park
their home under government protec-
ton.
These animals are now being used as
nucleus herds for other parks ma tional
State, and city-7and for geological gar
dens, by the government. In the last
two years many of them have thus
been quietly taken captive and ship
ped away in various parts of the coun-
try. AS showing what the government
has done, the following instance will
prove interesting: In 1911 twelve ante

loads OF elk, numbering 1877 in all, were
shipped to various parts of the eoun-
try, and five carloads were captured by
the State of Montana just outside the
park and shipped to a few ranges in
western Montana. The expense of cap
turing and shipping the three carloads
ranged from 81 to so head.

trymen, and next day they surprised
the Turks, and in fierce battle no
fewer than 10000 of the invaders were
slain.
The valiant defense of Nikolous Won
Salm in the end compelled the Turks
to raise the siege, and for q century
and a half after Vienna was free from
the too pressing attentions of the
Turks. 1t was because of their great
deliverance, and to commemorate the
manner of the warning, that the
Niennese bakers make up their rolls
of bread in the form of a crescent, the
recognized emblem of the Ottoman
empire. And though much has hap
pened since, and there have been
many changes in the history of the
city, Niennese rolls are still made N
crescent shape.
Few people would credit the harm
less gingerbread with SO sinister a
significance as it possesses Many are
familiar with the phrase taking the
gift off the gingerbread which refers
to the little gilt figures which used TO
adorn the gingerbread cakes that one
saw exposed for sale at country fairs.
The gilt on the gingerbread typifies
an old Oriental custom Of human sac
rilice. in which the body of the victim
was first anointed with. oil, then COW
cred With gold dust and afterwari
rolled, and the flesh cooked and eaten.
Those little gilt figures, made. ana
baked and eaten, are the modern sur
yival of this horrible practice.
The strangest story on record IN
connection with bread making is that
known as the Ghupattie Mystery
Shortly before the Indian mutiny
native policeman entered one of the
villages of Oudh. carrying couple OF
chupatties or cakes The person who
took them was ordered to make ten
more and distribute them two by two
in the neighboring villages. Each re-
cipient in turn followed this plan, and
soon there. were native runners all
over the country, carrying the cakes
from one house to another. There was
no spoken message, but the receipt o.
the chupattie evidently had "a mean
ing. for soon India was in revolt.
Several centuries previously a similar
distribution of cakes in China preeed-
ed the great popular rising in that
country, but why it did SO remains a
mystery to this day-Philadelphia
