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. Louis Republic.

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. —New York Sun. 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.
