ANIMALS WILL NOT ATTACK
Man Has Nothing to Fear From Wild
Creatures Of Forest Who Will
Flee at His Approach.

In North America, barring the
yen0mous snakes, an occasional old
she-bear, with very young cubs, and
peccary or wild havillna hogs that go
In droves among the brush of the
southwest, there Is nothing, absolute
ly nothing, In the wild animal line that
the merest child out alone after dark
needs to fear, says writer In the
Philadelphia Ledger. Such Is the fear
Of man, engendered by the long use of
firearms and traps and before that by
stout bows and fllnt-polnted arrows,
spears and heavy, spiked war clubs or
stone axes, that the human scent Is
enough to send bears, wolves and cats
along with the deer and lesser crea-
lures, scamperlng In retreat.
Old hunters and woodmen declare
that 1t Is actually more difficult, as q
general thing, to come within shooting
distance Of bear than It is of deer,
and in many sections this is proved by
the fact that the bear still hold their
own after the deer have been exter-
minated, though more hunters ana
dogs go out after bear meat than those
seeking venison.

HOW "TANK" APPEARS TO HIM
British War Machines Perform Some
Marvellous Feats, According to One
Enthusiastic AdmIrer.

One Of the enthusiastic admirers Of
the British "tank" recently gave his
Impressions Of the car In action. He
said In letter to his friends:
"The tanks are simply wonderful.
They can do up prisoners In bundles
like strawblnders, and, In addition,
have an adaptation Of perfectlng
printing press which enables them to
catch up tho Huns, fold, count and de-
liver them In qulres, every thirteenth
man being thrown out little further
than the others. The cars In question
can chew up barbed wire and turn 1t
into munitions. AS they run they slash
their tails and clear away trees,
houses, howitzers and everything else
In the vicinity. They turn on their
backs, catch live shells with their cat
erplllar feet, and can easily be adapted
as submarines; indeed, most Of them
cross the channel In this guise. They
loop-the-loop, travel forwards, back
wards, sideways, not only with equal
speed, but at the same time. The tanks
can do anything and everything; in
fact, II there IL anything that can't be
done, the tanks can do It."

MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE TlMID
Animal ls Not Dangerous to Man But
10 Relentless Enemy to Large
Game and Live Stock.

The mountain lion, next to the Jag
uar, is the largest of the cat tribe ma
tive to America. In various parts Of
Its range 1t is also known as the pam
ther, cougar and puma. 1t is q slen-
der-bodled animal with small head
and q long, round tail, with total
length varying from seven to nine feet
and a weight from about 100 to 200
pounds.
No other American mammal has
range equal to that of the mountain
lion. 1t originally inhabited both
North and South America, from south
ern Quebec and Vancouver island to
Patagonia, and from tho Atlantic to-
the Pacific coasts, says the National
Geographic Magazine.
The mountain lion, while powerful
enough to be dangerous to man, Is
in reality extremely timld. Owing to
its being n potentially dangerous ami
NAL, the popular conception Of 1t Is
that Of fearsome beast, whose savage
exploits are celebrated in the folklore
of our frontier. As q matter Of fact,
few wild animals are less dangerous,
although there are authentic accounts
of wanton attacks upon people, Just
as there are authentic instances Of buck
deer and moose becoming aggressive.
1t has wild, weird cry, popularity sup
posed to resemble the scream OF ter
rlfled woman. which Is thrilllngly I'M
presslve when the shades of evening
are throwing a mysterious gloom over
the forests.
Although inoffenslve as to people,
this cat is such a fierce and relentless
enemy of large game and live stock
that 1t Is everywhere an outlaw. 1t
often kills calves, but is especially
fond Of young horses. In many range
districts Of the Western states and on
the tableland of Mexico, owing to the
depredatlons Of this animal, It IL i'm
possible to raise horses.

nooks for Control Of Food.

Under system Of food control pro-
posed In England to secure the same
results as issuing tickets permitting
the holder to purchase bread. meat,
butter and other supplies, every house,
holder, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, would be compelled to keep an
official "housekeepcr's book" All pur-
chases Of food would be entered In this
book by the shopkeeper, and after u
fixed date no food would be sold un.
less an official passbook was presented.
The book would sell for 2 cents and
upward, according to size. 1t would
show the number Of adults In each
household, also the number and ages
Of children.
Separate columns would be provided
for entering different kinds of food, 80
that the quantities bought could be
seen at a glance. No new book would
be Issued until the old one was re-
turned for official inspection.

NOCTURNAL VISIT FROM LION
Trainer Had Perlous Journey With
Animal Which Escaped From
Cage In Railroad Car.

There Is plenty of danger In train
ing wild animals; nevertheless, In
many cases those who work among
the carnivores owe their lives to the
good temper of their charges. In that
connection Mr.. Carl Hagenbeck re-
cords In beasts and men an adventure
that would alarm even the most cour-
ageous.
In the beginning of the sixties,
writes Mr.. Hagenbeck, l was bringing
from Cologne to Hamburg large col
lection of animals. Among them was
a four-year-old lion. 1t was placed in
a great kennel and, together with all
the other animals was installed In the
railway van. A man named Druard
was In charge of the animals during
the journey. When everything was
satisfactorily arranged, he closed the
door Of the van and made himself COM
Portable.
The train rumbled on through the
night and the unsuspecting keeper
dozed peacefully. Suddenly he felt
q great weight upon his chest, and
woke with start In the darkness,
not yard from him, there shone two
greenish lights, and he could dlmly see
the shaggy outline of the lions name.
In some way the fastening of It's cage
had become disarranged and the huge
beast had escaped.
Druard was q trainer of long eNpe.
rience, and he knew that this lion was
good.tempered. So he decided ut once
that the best thing to do was some
how or other to tie the animal up. For
the rest he must share the place with
the lion until the next station, aud
make the best of his awkward situa-
ton.
Fortunately, no trouble broke otc
between the lion and the other adl-
mails. Had anything Of that sort oc-
Cured, the man would never have
lived to tell the tale. Druurd quietly
united sash that he wore round HIS
body and placed 1t round the lions
neck. Then cropping his way through
the dark and joltlng van he succeeded
In fastening the other end of the sns'i
to the handle of the door. At the next
station he sounded the alarm, aud
when lights were brought led the llol
back to Its cage.-Youth's Companion.

He had not spoken to his brother nor
any member of his family for ten
years. The separation had come about
through money matters. He had loaned
Morton a thousand dollars. The money
was to be paid back In two years.
When 1t came due Morton had writ
ten to his brother, stating that he
could not repay the loan, and asking
Jed to come and visit him, as he was
very Ill, and see If some arrangement
could not be made for payment In the
future.
