MISTOOK HUNTER FOR STUMP
Nimrod's Peculiar Experience With a
Lynx Who Had Been After a
Squirrel Dinner.

was once teaching school, writes a
Companion reader, in a backwoods
region, where game was very plenti-
full. One afternoon in the hunting sea-
son l made my way to a small valley
about a mile from the settlement,
down which ran well-beaten deer
trail.
l took my post on a small hill that
commanded good view Of the valley.
In front Of me, and about II feet dis
tant, was large pine tree; behind me
was an old stump. AS the evening
was cool, wore gray sweater, and
my hat was also gray.
After waiting for nearly an hour, I
noticed movement in a small clump
of bushes to my right. Then the horns
and head of large buck appeared,
but he drew back before l had a
chance to fire. With rifle cooked and
finger on the trigger, l crouched, wait
ing for him to show himself again,
A squirrel chartered sharply from
the stump behind. Then he lanCed
squarely on the top Of my head, from
which he sprang to the tree. Imme-
dlately after l was thrown violently
forward on my face by some heavy
object that descended with great force
on my back. The blow almost drove
the breath from my body. My rifle
was discharged as l fell.
Very much surprised and consider
ably alarmed, l scrambled to my feet
but nothing living was in sight. I
peered behind stumps and fallen logs.
more myStif1ed every moment. No owl
swoOping down upon the squirrel
could have inflicted such blow, Meth
er had any limb fallen from the tree.
l looked up among the thick foliage,
but there was nothing to be seen.
walked round to the other side of the
tree. On large bough, but well hid.
den, discerned dim, gray shape. It
was full-grown lynx. l brought hin
down by well-directed shot.
Now understood the situation. Near
the stump on which the squirrel had
been sitting lay large log. Behind
this the lynx had crept on his prey.
In escaping, the little animal had
leaped to my head, and thence to the
tree. His enemy had followed him.
and he must have been nightly sur.
prised at landing on man, and also
by the report of my rifle.
Naturally saw nothing more Of thu
deer, but was richer by fine lynx
skin and most uncommon expert.

Queer Sort of SignaIman.

For some reason or other monkeys
and apes have never been much trained
to do anything really useful. An ex
ception, however, should be made in
the case of a baboon that took the
place of signalman on a railway
This was at Ultenhage, in South Africa
where the human signalman was Grip
pie; he, therefore, taught a baboon tc
pull the right levers and points at GER
tain signs from his cabin, and wher
the days work was done the animal
used to fix trolley on the rails and
take his master home.

Her Own Way,

A. F. Thorn, the representative Of
SO per cent of Americas railroads be-
fore the Newlands committee, said at
q dinner:
"The railroads are not Utopian. They
know the kind of world it Is, and they
don't ask impossibilities.
"In fact, the railroads of late years
have come to the rather grim
outlook of the chap whose girl said:
"'Oh, no, George, I don't see how I
could possibly marry you. You know
] always want my own way in every
thing
"'You could keep on wanting it, said
George, after we were married."
