LASSOING A PANTHER
•_
HOW A HUNTING PARTY IN TEXAS
found A QUEER PET.
A Ferocloua Animal Captured In Cowboy
Fashion—How a Daring Negro Got One
of the Cube—The Mother and Bar Chil
dren In Captivity.
Those whp conclude that there ore
Do ferocious or dangerous wild animals
in the mountains of western Texas
would experience a very sudden change
of sentiment if they should meet a
panther face te faee in some lonely can
yon. The magnificent animal now
chained in front of our wagons is called
by some a Mexican or mountain lion
and by others a panther. She is of a
dull yellowish color and will weigh
mon than four or five ordinary leop
ards. She measures just 11 feet from
the tip of her nose to the end of her long
talk
Although she has been in captivity
only a few days she is astonishingly doc
ile so long ar she can see her two cubs
that are chained under the wagons. The
mcmanUhey set up a whine she springs
to her feet, all her hair turns jhe wrong
way, and white her eyps look like glow
ing coals of fire she gnashes her sharp
white fangs and tries the strength of
her chain. If it were not strong enough
to hold an ox, I should prefer that there
were two or three counties between us
just at that‘particular moment The
cubs are already as gentle as lambs and
as playful as kittens, and nothing
pleases them better than to crawl under
our blankets at night and cuddle up
close to us to escape the chilly northers.
We captured her in the mountains of
the Deall river in western Texas, and I
doubt if a more daring feat was over
accomplished by a crowd of hunters.
Game of all kinds .is very abundant in
this region, and the boys had tired of
shooting deer, antelopes and turkeys
Several big wolves and two or ffiree
panthers had been slaughtered, and it
was evident from the numerous tracks
about the water holes that there were
plenty more of them in the mountains
One evening the hounds struck a hot
trail and ran a big panther into a cave
on the side ota mountain.
That night while discussing the ad
ventures incident to the day’s hunt two
daring young men, Fetmakerand Black,
declared that they intended to hang a
noose over the mouth of the animal’s
den on the next day and capture her
alive. Both are Texas reared boys and
experienced hunters The proposition
met with unanimous approval, and all
volunteered to assist in the desperate
undertaking. The next day as we rode
out of can > some of the boys grew
bolder, and . io ot them, who were/ex
pert vaqueros, declared, that they 1 * in
tended to rope the beast -if they could
get close, enough to her. These two—
young Petmaker of Menard county and
George Black of Austin—rode toward
the den, and the other members of the
party and negro Jim, who had charge
of the hounds, started to beat up the
vafifoy.
We had gone but a shortedistance be
fore the dogs struck a hot trail and ran
with yelps which indicated that they
were close to the animal.
Petmaker and Black heard them
coming and reined in their ponies on
the edge of a little opening and unslung
their rawhide ropes from the horns of
their saddles The big animal sprang
out of the brush and stopped within 20
feet of Petmaker. The cowboy’s lariat
flashed through the air and landed right
around the wild animal’s neck.
The instant it touched her she
screamed like a terror stricken woman
and, leaping high in the air and gnashing
her teeth, began to decrease the space
between her and the daredevil at the
other end of the rope; Black, who was
too tax away to co-operate with his
comrade at first, was now on the field,
and with lucky precision he hurled a
second noose over the animal’s head.
Both wheeled their ponies and the
trained animals made a leap in opposite
directions. The ropes were drawn taut,
and the big monster was choked to the
earth.
While she was rolling on the grass
and clawing at the noose another expert
with the rope galloped and caught one
of her hind feet. They could now easily
hold her at a safe distance from each
other, and after ranch exoitement and
many rather dangerous stratagems they
succeeded in dragging her to a good
damping place not far away. Since at
that stage of her captivity we could not
move her to the wagons, we moved the
wagons to her, and, putting a stout
chain around her peek, we made her
fast to a tree.
Some of the hounds were set baying
at the eave, and one of the boys and the
negro Jim want over there to call them
off. An old dog ran into the den and
came out yelping with a young jaguar
about the size of a house cat hanging
to his hide. They captured the cub, and
then the negro crawled into the den
and brought out another—a thing that
I would not have done for a deed to
Texas.
The cubs soon made friends with us
and were ready to eat from our hands
or crawl upon our knees in a few days.
When the mother saw her children in
captivity, she set up an awful roar, but
when they were put down by her side
she seemed to be very grateful and soon
afterward made a hearty meal off a
large piece of venison that was thrown
to her. After a few days she seemed to
become perfectly reconciled to the new
order of things and is now on the look
out for something to eat Negro Jim
pats her on tire back and leads her about
like a lamb. The hounds have made
friends with her, and nothing pleases
her better than for our bird dog to play
with her. She could easily throttle the
largest bull on the plains and toss a
man about as a oat does a mouse. We
have named her Miss Vixen.—Oor. St.

THE HIGH SCHOOL FACe7
An Indinnapolla Doctor Dtooovon • Maw .
Phy.ioKnomfc*l Affliction.
Copious comment has been made on
various types of faces, and particularly on
the bicycle face. This article is about the <
high school face. |
The high school face is the discovery ot I
a prominent physician of the city who is ]
too modest to permit his name to be used.
That there is such a face he is very port- .
tive. “It la not a wort of the imagina
tion,” he said yeataraay, "nor is it a ’
chimera. The high school face is a stern
reality.” I
"What are its symptoms or characteris- i
ties, doctor?” he was asked.
"The high school faoe,” replied the doc
tor, "is to be found in every schoolroom.
What is it? It is a drawn, anxious, in
tense, sometimes an alarmed expression.
The forehead is contracted into wrinkles,
the lips twitch, the eyes stare or have a
strained look, and a pallor is spread over
the countenance. ”
The doctor enlarged on this interesting
diagnosis and mentioned a few cases that
had come under his own observation.
Proceeding, be said: /
“Ths cause of the high school face is the
modern effort, so fiercely put forth, to jam
all minds and all temperaments into the
same pigeonholes in the same time—that
is to say, modern teaching seems to have
for its first principle the molding of all
minds in the same mold. We might just
as well try to make all the children wear
the same sized shoes. In addition to this
each teacher of the different branches
thinks his or her branch the most impor
tant, and crowds and pushes and worries
those pupils who, although not dull, do
not take readily to that particular branch.
"The pupil who, through natural apti
tude, carries mathematics or physics with
interest and ease, may be slow in litera
ture and language; but no matter—the
culprit must make grades. ‘We must hurry
on and get over the prescribed course,’
says the teacher, and this must be done
though a small percentage of the pupils
tall by the wayside.
"No profession calls for more patience
oi forbearance than that of teaching,”
continued the doctor. "I might liken
teaching to horse driving. Some men can
drive a team of spirited horses so that they
will go along willingly and easily for
great distances. Other men will Wear the
team out in short order. It’s the nag
ging, the pulling and the harassing that
do it. So with some pupils of highly
nervous temperament—they must be
handled properly or the high school face is
inevitable. On the other hand, there are
some pupils who, like some horses, cannot
bo made nervous by the most unskillful
handling. Sanitariums are making con
siderable ado about unsanitary lighting,
beating and ventilating, but is it not pos- .
sible that just as much harm comes from
‘hurry up’ teaching as from these other
causes? To sum up, the high school face
is the result of insincere teachers—teach
ers who lack gentleness, patience and
gentility. ’ ’—lndianapolis Journal.
Washington Compared to Hannibal.
With a beaten and defeated army operat
ing against overwhelming odds he had in
flicted upon the enemy two severe defeats.
No greater feat can be performed in war
than this. That which puts Hannibal at
the head of all great commanders was that
he won his astonishing victories under the
same general conditions. There was one
great military genius in Europe when
Washington was fighting this short cam
paign in New Jersey—Frederick of Prus
sia. Looking over the accounts of the
Trenton and Princeton battles, he is report
ed to have said it was the greatest cam
paign of the century. The small numbers
engaged did not blind the victor of Bore
bach and Leuthen. He did not mean that
the campaign was great from the number
of men involved or the territory conquer
ed, but great in its conception and as an
illustration of the highest skill in the art
of war under the most adverse conditions.
—"The Story of the Revolution,” by
Senator H.O. Lodge, in Seribner’s
. Use of a Tire Engine.
The life of a fire engine in this city tn
Its first use is ten yean. It is then rebuilt
and is good, either in regular service or as
a reserve engine, for ten years more. Aft
er 20 years ot service the old engine is sold
at auction.
It may be bought by another city or
town for use as a fire engine, but this hap
pens v*y rarely. The engines are heavy,
and they must be drawn by horses, so
they are not adapted for use in smaller
cities. The edd engine isoftener bought
by a contractor, for use, fpr instance, in
pumping out cellars. ' In such service a
steam pressure of 50 pounds might be
ample for the work, while in fire service a
pressure of 150 pounds might be required.
In such work as this the old engine might
last three or four years more.
Sometimes the discarded fire department
engine is bought by a junk dealer, who
breaks it up for the metals it contains,
and this is what they all come to at last.

4 Story ITrom tho V*tic*u.
Prince Massimo, who represents the old
est princely family in Rome, tracing his
descent from the Caesars, was on bis way
in his state carriage to pay his respects
and offer his congratulations to the pope
on the occasion of one of several papal an
niversaries which have taken place thia
year when the officer in charge of the
guard at the castle of Sto Angelo, seeing
the gilded chariot limbering across the
bridge, thought it was the king, and, call
ing out his men, the guard presented arms
as Prince Massimo, who is one of the
pope’s stanchest supporters, drove past.
This piquant mistake had already reached
the pope's ears when the prince entered
the audience chamber, and Leo XIII was
much amused and joked the prince on his
being mistaken for the king. "But I,
too, have the blood of the house of Savoy
in my veins,” said Prince Massimo.
"And very good blood, too,"answered the
pope.—London Morning Post.
Another Husband In Trouble.
The wife of an employee of the Phila
delphia postoffice recently goto set of four
“store teeth,” which sirelisually placed on
the bureau in the bedroom before retiring
for the night. One morning she arose
early and went to prepare breakfast.
When her husband arose, he saw the teeth
on the bureau. To accommodate his wife
he put them in his trousers pocket, in
tending to give them to her when he went
down stairs. Instead he forgot all about
them and carried 'them off. About three
hours later his wife rushed into the post
office and between sobs exclaimed: "I’ve
swallowed my teeth. What shall I do? I
know I’ll die,” and so on. The man fish
ed the missing teeth from his pocket, when
his wife’s teart turned to indignation, and
the setting out she gave her poorer half
will long be remembered by the office
clerks.—Chicago Infer Ocean.

A SEEMING DISCREPANCY.
fft»o Dear Lady Has Her Daughter's Ire-
Serestrt Stake.
She is a lady whose husband haa ac
cumulated a large share of this world’s
goods. She does not care how much
anything coats and desires people to
know that she doesn’t care. So it was
not through any fear that she was not
getting her money’s worth that she re
proved her youngest daughter, who had
been practicing at the piano. The little
girl’s efforts had bedn harrowingly per
sistent and dutiful, and she was hurt as
well as surprised when her mother in
dignantly remarked:
“Dolly, I am compelled to remind
you that we have employed the best
teacher in the city for your musical ed
ucation and that as wo propose to spare
no expense in the future you ought to
be more conscientious in laying a foun
dation. You will gain nothing by slight
ing the. Work now. lam determined
that you shall learn to play the piano
no matter what it costs. ” V
“I was practicing faithfully,” the
pupil protested.
“My dear, do not attempt to deceive
your mother.”
“But you heard me practicing, didn't
you?”
“It may be,” was the chilly re
joinder, “that your mother’s advantages
in early life were not so great as those I
intend that you shall enjoy. But there
is one study in which I was always
good, and it will be useless for you to
attempt to mislead me in anything con
nected with it. That is*arithmetic.”
“I never mid you weren’t splendid in
arithmetic, but that hasn’t anything to
do with my piano playing. ”
“Unless my eyes are at fault those
are five finger exercises that you are
now supposed to be working on. ”
“Yes.”
“ Very well. Do not think that I for
get myself so far as to speak in anger.
But I should very much like to know
what you mean by trying to play five
finger exercises with both hands. ”—De
troit Free Press.
THE COST OF TRAINS.
.‘"*'l 1
Passenger Coaches More Expensive Than
Many Fine Houses.
“Ninety-five per cent of the traveling
public db not own in their own right or
occupy through rental a dwelling house
. which, including all its contents, costs
as much as one of the ordinary modern
passenger cars run on any first class
railroad.”
The foregoing statement, which is cal
culated to arouse the incredulity of the
average individual, was made recently
by George J. Charlton, assistant general
passenger and ticket agent of the Chi
cago and Alton railroad.
“Just let me give you a few facta to
prove that assertion,” continued Mr.
Charlton. '“The cost of the average
passenger car today is from $6,000 to
$7,000. A reclining chair car costa from
SIO,OOO to $12,000. These figures repre
sent the bare cost of the car. When you
add to that from year to year the ex
penses of maintenance, instead of figur
ing, as the ordinary business mortal
will figure, a return in interest for the
capital invested you simply aggravate
the situation.
“I once heard a prominent master car
builder my that it cost SSOO to simply
look over a car after it had served five
or six months on the road and had been
sent to the carshops to be examined
and put into presentable shape for an
other six months* rim. Ha meant that
the ordinary ‘dressing down* and clean
ing of a car would cost over SSOO, and
if you extend your investigation to gen
eral shop repairs—perhaps adding a lit
tle upholstering here and there—you
could easily get away with another
SSOO. ” —Kansas City Journal
The Trees of Paris.
Paris is probably the only city in the
world which has trees that bloom twice
ay ear habitually. These are the horse
chestnuts. There are 17,000 of them
plagjed in the squares and aTonglhe ’
boulevards, and 26,000 button woods.
The trees in Paris are numbered, jusi
like the people, the cabs, the animals,
the lampposts and the matches. These
horse chestnuts have only been doing
this trick for. about five years, and only
some of them have njade a practice of
it These die, or apparently die, in the
latter part of July, and all the leaves
fall off. A month or so afterward they
all come out into flower again and little
green leaves shoot forth continually un
til they are nipped by the first frost
There is a reason for this, and the sci
entists worked over the matter for a
long time to be able to explain' it.
Briefly and unscientifically the trees
lose their leaves because they are at
tacked by a little fungus which is blown
upon them by the wind; then, being
still full of sap, they start to put forth
leaves all over again.
A Precautionary Measure.
“What are you doing now, doctor?”
asked-the actress.
“I am taking a snap shot photograph
of you, madam,” responded the dentist,
** so that if any unpleasant consequences
follow this operation and you sue me
for damages for the loss of your beauty
I can establish something in the nature
of an alibi, as it were. I am ready now,
madam, to extract the tooth. Chicago

Putting It Indirectly.
Inski—Look here! Is it you that has
been circulating the report that I had
not washed my face for seven years?
SinsJd—No. All I said , was that if a
wasp wanted to sting you he’d have to
carry a shovel.—London Tit-Bits.
