PANTHER AND BEAR.
A Vicious Battle to tne Death With a
Thrilling Climax.
'•Wlicu my grandfather was a young
iiinn in* used tu limit a great deal,"
sii.vs a writer in Hie American Maga
zine. "lie li id a brother living in Mon
tana. ami in tli-j tall of IS5S be decided
to go .Hid spend,! he winter with this
brother anil ham Oue day bis brother
was telling about a large care In the
mountains where some panthers lived,
lie thought it would tie a good chance
to try to get one. So one morning a
few days later he started out t<£ find
the care. When he came iu sight of It
be didn't see any stir, so kept creeping
closer.
"He tinally came to n path; there
seemed to lie a lot of different tracks.
Fie begau looking for a place to bide
and finally discovered a ledge and
climbed up ami sat down to rest. Sud
denly lie heard a sound of cracking
brush lie got his ritle up ready when
down the path came an old bear and
three cutis: the liltle cubs were playiug
like kitten*. The old bear walked up
to tae cave, sniffed a few times and
went in. in a few minutes she came
out with a little panther, killed it and
gave it to the cults .She repeated this
three times, and every one she killed
would scream and the old panther
wonhl answer away off in the woods,
and cacli time nearer.
"After she bud killed theai all she
cuffed the cubs and sent them up a
tree. Then she began digging a hole
In the ground and snilling the air. In
a few minutes the old panther scream
ed and it seemed just a little distance
away. The old bear lay down on her
back in the hole she had dug. She
was ready for tight. The panther came
straight for the bear She gare one
leap and struck on the bear There
wa> ii tierce struggle, with screaming
and snarling, and in less than ten min
utes tiie bear was torn to fragments.
The panther walked into the care and
came right out again and gave a
sere.iin that was bloodcurdling. Just
then she saw the cubs She gare a
leap and brought one down and killed
It, aud went after the rest and killed
them
"She sniffed the air agpii] and began
coming town rd my grandfather, who
had been watching from the ledge
above. He raised his ride, took good
aim and fired.
"That was the last tie knew until be
became conscious again, for he fainted
as soon as lie shot, but the panther
was dead—be had lilt her between the
eyes.
"He didn't wait to pick up his lunch
bos. but went fast for home.
••lie often says that is the most game
he ever got with one bullet, but be
wouldn't want to see it all over again."
Falling Up Out of a Balloon.
If a man f.-rtls out of a rising aero
plane or balloon he will not go toward
the earth, but will continue rising Into
the air for an appreciable time. If the
air machine were stopped in its ascent
at the time It could catch the man
as he came down. If the airsbip were
ascending at the rate of thirty-two feet
a second the man would rise sixteen
feet before beginning to fail toward
the earth Thus, by reducing the speed
of its ascent, the vessel might keep by
the side ->f the man and rescue him.
The reusou why the man rises is the
same as the reason for a bullet's rising
when shoi from a gun into the air
both the nan and the bullet are given
a velocity upward, and It takes some
time Tor gravity to negative that
velocity.—Glasgow News.

"Please, miss," was the reply, "It

A LEGEND which hns come down

"Corpse Coins."
"Corpse coins" are treasured in the
north jf England. They are the coins
that have lain over the eyes of their
dead. By this means infection has
been spread, but superstition causes
the custom to continue. A poor collier
or peasant would never think of doing
anything imiiortant unless he had on
his person coins that have been upon
the eyes of his dead relatives.—West
minster Gazette.
