THE VICIOUS JAGUAk
HE FINOS A DEADLY ENEMY IN THE
PLUCKY PUMA.
tfhaa* Fierce South Amorlcon Brute* Tight
«uoh Other to the Ihrtrth on Sight-Two
Buttles That Show the Characterlgtioe of
the Animal*.
“Ou the Apure river, near its head,
lives—or did live there five years ago—
a woman of mixed Spanish and Indian
race named Maria Padilla, the wife of
the mayordoma, or foreman, of a cattle
ranch. I have talked with her and
heard from her lips the account, of the
strange adventure she had when a child
of 7 years.
“Her parents with their children
were making a journey over a trail that
led along the foothills of the Maritime
Andes. They had encamped for the
night, and this child, while her parents*
attention was occupied, started into the
forest to gather firewood as she had of
ten seen her mother do. Her absence
waanot noticed until she had been gone
some time from the camp. As she gath
ered dry sticks into a bundle she saw a
large, spotted animal stealing swiftly
toward her.
“Every South American country girl
of 7 knows a jaguar When she sees him,
whether she has ever seen one before or
not, for the dread of these animals is
an instinct among the inhabitants of
regions which they frequent. Overcome
by fear the girl could’ only stand still
and await her fate. With her eyes riv
eted on the jaguar she did not see where
they came from, but of a sudden she
perceived that he was savagely fighting
with two huge, tawny animals that had
sprung upon him.
“The fight seemed to her to last a long
time, and once the brutes in their strug
gles came very near to where she stood.
The pumas that had attacked him kill
ed the jaguar at last, and after standing
over the body a few minutes as if to as
sure themselves that he would not re
vive they for the first time turned their
gaze toward the child, who had been too
much terrified to improve her chance to
run away while the beasts were fight
ing.
“They favored her with a long stare,
and then, not offering to approach or
harm her, turned deliberately away
and trotted into the depths of the for
est. They scarcely had disappeared
when her father, having missed the
child and guided by the sounds of the
fight, came running to the place with
gun and machete and found her safe.
He got a jaguar skin as a trophy, though
it was cut too nearly into ribbons by
the pumas’ daws to be of Value.
“In the Guarico country, at a village
called Paraya, near the Merida trail, I
saw an Indian named Jose Lobado
whose face and head were deeply scar
red and whose body was a network of
similar scars from wounds received
through being carried away by a jaguar
when an infant in arms. Os course he
could not remember the occurrence, but
his mother, who had rescued him, de
scribed it to me.
“She had gone to a mata, or wooded
spot, on the pampas for firewood, carry
ing her child, after the fashion of Ven
ezuelan women of humble station, in
a shawl looped from her shoulder. This
shawl, with the small boy in it, she slung
to a low tree branch while she gathered
her bundle of sticks, and She did not
perceive the approach of a jaguar until
he had seized the child and was carry
ing it away.
“The mother grasped her machete
and ran after the jaguar, shrieking.
She managed to keep the beast in sight,
but he was rapidly getting beyond her
view when suddenly the jaguar stopped,
put the child down and bristling for
fight st cod with his forepaws resting
upon it
“Then the mother saw that a puma
was fronting the jaguar. She hurried
on toward where the two beasts faced
each other, growling and snarling. Be
fore she got to them the puma sprang,
and at once the two were fighting fierce
ly above the child. In the struggle the
child was rolled to one side,- but before
the mother could get to it the jaguar
broke away from the puma and spring
ing to the boy again crouched with his
paws above him as before.
“The puma leaped and the fight
was renewed, but again the jaguar got
clear and jumped to guard his prey be
fore the mother could get a chance to
snatch her child. Once more the puma
attacked his foe, and this time as the
beasts struggled and tore each other an
accidental kick from one of them sent
the boy 20 feet away, almost to the
mother’s feet.
“Catching him up she ran for home
and got safe to the house. The boy,
though covered with claw wounds from
head to foot and bearing deep marks of.
the jaguar’s teeth in the back, where
the'beast had seized him to carry him
away, recovered completely from his in
juries, although bearing the scars for
his lifetime. The puma and the jaguar
were found, both dead, at the place
where they had fought.”—Philadelphia
Times. _
' A Quick Witted Baptist.
One of the candidates for the state
senate down in Jefferson county, Ala.,
was a prominent Baptist, and he ex
pected his fellow churchmen to help
push him along. The story goes that he
was campaigning on a country beat and
had the good fortune to fall in with a
whole congregation of Baptists. Wheth
er a prayer meeting had just been held
or what the occasion of the gathering
was is not known. About this time a
light shower came up, and the candi
date at once raised a large umbrella
which he was carrying.
“You are not afraid of this little
shower, are you, Brother——?” re
marked one good Baptist, standing near.
“Not at all,” responded the quick
witted candidate, “but you know lam
opposed to all forms of ’sprinkling.’ ”
He carried that beat solidly.—New Or

DEAR AND DIRTY DUBLIN.
It Now Ba* • Mualc Uall, With Mattaeo* .
Fer th. Fair tea.
Dublin may be dear and dirty. It is
also dramatic and loves gayety. Thus
within the last few wook* It has added 1
unto Itself a new ttaroWand a new music <

It Is now 18 years since Are robbjfi !«
Theater Royal, which its people regafded,
and with some truth, as the fipeet prey
house tn the three kingdoms after DNlvy ’
Lane, and naturally there wMa a gTMt
rush for seats on Its reopening by Meson.
Morell and MoulJloL All Dublin wißtetfto
be present, but the theater could accgjn
modate only 8,800 persons, and so there
was plenty of that sort of disappointment '
among the public so dear to the theatrical
manager’s heart The play was “The
Geisha. ” The new theater has a pleasant
air of space and elbow ream. It is, of
course, supplied with all tbe latest ipe
cfaSDlcal Improvements. It has a Special
large box for the viceroy, with private en
trance, anteroom and other accommoda
tions, and a splendid saloon and ladles’
drawing room. There Is no pit In the old
sense, the Whole ground floor (1,000 seats)
being arranged on tbe American partem
system, and all bookable at a low figure,
an interesting experiment. The manage
ment can do with the stage what Dan
O’Connell said he could do with an asst of
parliament—it can drive a coach and
four through It, entering at one side from
tbe street and emerging at the other into
a new carriage way. i
And a new mualo ball has arisen in the
shape of the Empire Palace theater. It
has been built on tbe site of (ba old and
popular Star Theater of Varieties tn Dame
street, which, however, it surpasses In
size, beauty and indeed in almost every
detail. A splendid stage, a proscenium
largfr than that of either tbe Palace thea
ter or the Empire in London, accommoda
tion for over 1,700 spectators—which all
Visitor* may advisedly be dubbed, as an
excellent view of the stage is obtainable
from oVery seat in the bouse—capital
acoustic properties, luxurious boxes, stalls
and seats and a tout ensemble of refined
- decoration in the Louts Qulnze style, in
which ivory, gold and asoupoon of faint
blue predominate, are but a few of the
permanent attractions that tbe new thea
ter offers.
The opening night was a memorable oc
casion, and the programme included the
names of many world renowned artists,
who met with as enthusiastic a reception
as the heart of man or woman could de
sire. Tbe wisdom of the management ip
continuing to provide the public with an
excellent and varied bill ot fare has had
its reward in the packed audiences which
nightly await the lifting of the curtain.
A mediocre attendance has so far not been
recorded on the books. A special feattSe
is tbe Saturday matiuee, when no smok
ing is permitted and When the programme,
at all times of a high class, is specially
“Bowdlerized” to please the ladies of Dub
lin, to whom the npisio ball had hitherto
been a terra incognita. Now all this is
changed, and ladies of high degree and
society leaders may be seen occupying
boxes and stalls at tbe Empire every Sat
urday afternoon.
Leap Taste Will Ban Ont.
“In time leap year will ,gb out of exist
ence entirely,” explained an almanac com
puter to a reporter, “but, as it will not oc
cur for over 800 yeate, we haven’t much
personal interest in the-event. In the or
dinary course ot events 1900 would be leap
year, but it will get 10ft in the calculation.
In other words, while it does occur it does
not occur, simply because it is not in the
agreement that it shall oodttr. The story
is a long one, but it can be brldfiy-told sA
that the average person dan understand it
Without much difficulty. In 1688, in the
arrangement of the Julian calendar, ten
dags were dropped so as to get things run
ning on the then newimt the present basis
of calculating time. So as to keep things
running right it was determined that •
year ending a century should not be bis
sextile, except every fourth century. Tillis
there was no leap year in 1700, 1800 or
1000. It is, or at least was, rather rough
on the ladies who have special advantages
in leap year, for it is tbe only year that it
is proper for them to propose themselves in
marriage, but it has always been so in
matters affecting womankind, men al
ways finding reasons for restricting their
privileges. The ladies get left again in
1900, but though there will not be many
of those who see 1900 who will see 8,000,
the latter year, ending a fourth century,
will be a leap year. In this, way three
days are retrenched in four centuries, and
tbe remaining seven days will be made up
in a little over 800 yean. After that cal
endar years will be like solar years and
future errors Id the calculation of time oc
cur no more. Tbe loss of leap years will
in thousands of years affect the seasons,
but I suppose the mathematicians of the
centuries hence will be so flip in handling
figures and calculations that they will
have no difficulty in keeping things going
correctly. ” —Washington Star.
Good at the Price.
It was in tbe early days of the church,
and the singing, of which the congrega
tion is now very proud, was in an embry
onic condition, owing to the scarcity of
funds, and not verf good. But the church
was struggling to do its best and its peo
ple were working hard. The warden was
one of* these, and fie had the interest of
everything very much at heart. He is
warden now, and he tells this story with
much of a Christian spirit or otherwise,
according to whether or not people believe
in a militant Christianity. Anyway, this
is what happened:
“I find your singing very poor,” said a
showily dressed woman to tbe warden in
pompous tones, as she left the church one
morning.
The warden happened to have been the
man who bad taken tbe contribution on
the aisle on which the shdWily dressed
woman sat. He knew the amount of her
contribution.
“Don’t you think, madam,” he said,
“that we had as good a 10 cent concert as
you ever heard la yo«r Ufa?”
“Oh," saM thevrtfateti, appreciating his
meaning and a little abashed, “I can’t
afford to give more. ”
“Well,” said the warden, “we can’t
afford to give any better music.’’—Seattle

Bat this didn’t sail her.
"If you stay out here to smoke,” she
retorted, “I’ll stay right with you.”
He looked at her a moment, and then
evidently ooncinded that she was bluff
ing. Pulling out a big cigar, he lighted
it, and. settling himself comfortably
■gainst the dashboard of tbe car, ha be
gan to pull away as if his life depended
upon it. Nothing daunted, she took a
place alongside of him and calmly fold
ing her arms started up a lively con
vereation.
The spectacle was an odd one, and at
tracted the attention of every passenger
in the Car as well as of those who got
on at various corners. He tried to urge
her inside the car a number of times,
but she refused to go. In this fashion
the two rode across the bridge and half
way to city hall before he weakened.
The anticipated jeers of the people be
knew would be on Market street in the
center of the city were too much for
him, and, throwing away the biggest
end of his cigar, be sullenly said,
“Well, if you won’t go inside without
me I suppose I’ll have to trot along.”
Then he took a seat away up in the
front end, and she settled herself beside
him. Meanwhile the whole oar smiled
audibly.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

"How can you afford all these books?”
asked a young man, calling upon •
friend. “I can’t seem to find spare

“Oh, that library is only‘my ’one
cigar a day, ’ ” was the reply.
“What do you mean, ” inquired the
visitor.
“Mean? Just this: When you advised
me to indulge in an occasional cigar
several yean ago, I had been reading
about a young fellow who bought books
with money that others would have
burned in cigars, and I thought I would
try to do the same. You may remember
that I said I should allow *myself one
cigar a day?”
“Fea, I recall the conversation, but
don’t quite see the connection. ”
“Well, I never smoked, bat I put by
the price of a 5 cent cigar every day,
and as the money accumulated I
bought books—the very books you see.”
“You don’t mean to say" that your
books cost no more than that! Why,
there are dollare’ worth of them.”
“Yes, I know there are. I had six
years more of my apprenticeship to
serve when you advised me ’to ba •

(Mtatua d«ti amoMtited to 118.26 a year,

When the asm has set in the vtil*y

man who dwells upon tiro highest hab

nounces clearly and loudly through it,
as through a speaking trumpet, “Praise

heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same words.
. This frequently huts a quarter of an
hour, and the call resounds from all the
mountains and rocky cliffs around.
When silence again reigns, the herds
men kneel and pray with uncovered
heads. Meantime it has become quite
dark. '“Goodnight!” at last calls th*
highest herdsman through his horn.
The words resound from all the moun
