COACHING.
The ^musical tram pet's blast*
The sound cf laughter gay,
Then word to start is passed,
- And the tallyho rolls away,
* Ont of the city's street.
Far from tho noisy Throng,
Lito the country sweet
It rumbles gayly along
Over the cool green hills
r And down through the wooded dales,
Fragrant with daffodils
And vocal with calling quails.
Happy each youthful face,
Merry the mirthful wits,
s And, lo, in the footman's place
. Trumpeter Cupid sits!
-Arthur Grissom in New York Tribune.
A FIGHT WITH A LYNX.
?Jim Berry Had a Desperate Struggle With
a Savage Bobcat.
The ugliest appearing animal that
ever walked a log, killed a rabbit or
fought a trap is the lynx, which is just
as ugly as it looks ten months in the/
.fear and somewhat uglier during the
other twa Not only will the lynx fight
I anything that walks the woods, but it
will also tackle a visitor from the clear?
ings, be he man Or dog or half grown
calf, if the occasion offers.
Sim Berry was hunting up in Maine,
about 40 miles north of Greenville,
when he and bis friend suddenly came
upon the carcass of a caribou which a
bear was* eating. The bear made itself
scarce, much to Jim's regret, as he
wanted to kill the bear. Without say?
ing anything to his friend he left camp
the next day and started for the carcass,
iate?ding to watch it, in the hope that
the hear would return. He waited and
watched until about 'S o'clock in the
afternoon, when he began to think of
; returning to camp. A soft footfall back
ia the woods-the, crafty step of some
wild animal-just then sounded in his
? ears. Pretty soon the bear was chewing
the caribou meat, and Jim could see it
plainly. He leveled his buckshot gun
? and pulled the trigger, when the wab?
bling muzzle was pointed in what he
^thought was the right direction. The
beast went down, and Jim started for it.
. Then he stopped, with his mouth open.
The beast had leaped to his( feet *and
jumped sideways, with its back up.
Jim knew the yell, and he also recog?
nized the humped back. 1^ was a wound?
ed lynx spoiling for a fight Not having
time to level his gun to sh^pot, the man
clubbed it, and the blow stunned the .
i cat a little, but the beast got in a rake
on the man's leg and tore his trousers
?and bide too. Another frantic sweep of
the ?uu barrel laid the beast flat, and
then a revolver bullet killed the animal.
The buckshot had torn the top of the
lynx's head-enough to make it angry.
-Shooting and Fishing.
Proved His Love.
They were two working girls, and
they happened to meet the other day at
Hie restaurant where they eat luncheon.
The brunette ordered baked beans and
lemonade, and the blond selected fruit
cake and coffee. ''Tomorrow is pay day,
you know," she said in reply io the
inquiring look of the other.
"Oh! Well, have yon heard the news
about Mary? She's resigned. "
"I know," said the blond. "? was in
hopes I'd be the first to tell you. She's
going to bo married. "
"Yes; in a lovely blue silk. I forget
the nama cf the man she's geing to
marry. He isn't very good looking, they
' say, bus Mary says Le's intellectual.
She says*'-.
"Oh; pshaw! You can't tell from
Mary."
"No; but Sadie's seen his photo?
graph, and she says he wears glasses."
"Does her Well, Mary's lucky, if she
is redheaded. Why, he would just do
anything in the world for that girl. "
"Humph!" said the brunette. "That's
the way she talks now, but you can't
tell a thing about it until after they're
married."
"You can tell it easy enough in this
case, He's proved it already, " said the
blond warmly.
"Said he'd die fer her, I suppose,"
returned the brunette scornfully. "Lots
of 'em talk that way before they have
to pay the butcher. "
"This^isn't talk anyhow. He's proved
his love, I tell you. "
"How? Did he save her life, or tell
her that ber hair is golden?"
"Neither. He sold his bicycle to buy
her an engagement ring."-Chicago !
Tribune.
A Strange Nursery.
On the slopes of the Himalayas the i
native women have a most curious plan
of disposing of their babies and keeping
them quiet while they are engaged at
work in the fields during the greater
part of the day. Before the mothers set
out to work in the morning they wrap
their babies in swaddling bands, leav?
ing nothing but their little faces ex?
posed. Then the babies are taken and
laid under a ledge of reek fr?m which
water is falling, and by means of a
bamboo the water is made to drip gen?
tly on each baby's forehead. The effect
of the dripping water is most soothing,
and soon the little ones are ali asleep
and remain motionless till taken up by I
their mothers cu their return from their |
work, when they are carried off to be !
unwrapped, dried and fed.
Toiled.
Senator Wilson of Washington and j
his brother, Karry Wilson, look very j
much alike. One day in Spokane, where ?
the two brothers live, Senator Wilson,
who had just returned from his legisla?
tive duties, was stopped on the street by
a man who had known him for years.
"Harry." said the man, "when will
your brother John be here?"
"In a day or two," said John with?
out a smile.
"Tell him I want to see him on an
important matter."
"Certainly," said John.
"And you will not forget it?"
"I'll try not," promised John, and
thus another office seeker was foiled.
