END OF A BAD PANTHER. HOW OLD SIX TOE OF THE TETONS CAME TO HIS DEATH. A panther which had come to be the best known animal in Idaho, excepting only the horse that Pete Davies rides at the races, was killed during a raid it was making on a ranch. Two years ago the ranchers who live north of Grotna, in sight of the great Tetons, became familiar with the noise of sheep rushing from one end of the corral to the other. The bleating of the lambs would be heard, and the dogs about the buildings would bristle, growl, and then go plunging toward the enclosure, giving the short yelps that mean big game. The ranchman, half dressed, with a repeating rifle in his hand, running behind the dogs, sometimes saw a lithe form bounding over the huddled sheep—a shadow upon which he could not get the sights of his rifle. Often only the dogs came up with the raider, and then there would be a short scrimmage. The strongest dogs of the region, which had bayed bears and, singly, put ordinary panthers into trees, were killed by this extraordinary beast which left a panther's trail. The panther was a traveler. Its footprint in the sandy or moist places was peculiar and easily recognizable. The paw mark was plainly that of a big cat, but one paw had six toes, and a visit from the six-toed brute came to be more dreaded by the ranchers than one from half a dozen other panthers, especially after the six-toed one had often killed more sheep than it would want even for its drink alone. One night it killed six sheep in the Crescent 2X sheep pen, and two nights later broke the stocks of three calves and a colt on the Double S range eight miles away. That was before it had become generally known. These exploits combined with another two weeks later, caused all the rifles in the country to be cleaned, loaded, and hung on convenient hooks about the ranch buildings. The third deed was something to make mothers tremble. Twelve-year-old Alfreda Miller and her little six-year-old brother, Rex, were playing with their dog, a big brute that bit strangers and lapped the children with his tongue. They were in a little gully nearly half a mile from the ranch house. Suddenly, according to Alfreda's story, a great, soft-footed animal came over a rock, thirty yards away, and after two bounds, crouched, facing the dog. The dog did no hesitate. With open mouth it made for the intruder. The mix-up which followed last some time, and when it was over the strange animal was standing, looking over its shoulder at the two children, licking its point, and our swift cruisers could cover the distant in a little more than four hours. The defenses of Havana are obsolete and out of date, and a Cuban Colonel, now here, a member of Gomez' staff, openly declares that any one of our armored ships could pass the fort and take the city without difficulty; that is, as far as the land defenses are concerned. This far Southern city, lying almost within the tropics, is the only town of importance below Mason and Dixon's line that was covered under the stars and bars of the Confederacy. The population is about evenly divided between white Babamians. There are not more than a score of real American families resident on the island, but notwithstanding this fact the great mass of people are loyal to the Union first and to Cuba next. It is curious, though true, that of all houses, dwellings, stores, hotels and other building that dot the island from one shore to the other, not one of them has a chimney or anything that will answer the purpose of a chimney. Handsome residences and lowly habdies are alike in this respect, and from an eminence, gazing out over the acres of roofs on all sides, one is stuck with the want of something to complete the symmetry of the picture. Wood or coal or fuel of any kind are unknown quantities, as the tropical atmosphere furnishes at all times of the year all the heat required, and for cooking purposes sticks of carbon are used, which are sold by peddlers who hawk their wares about the streets. There are few stores, as we understand such things, and no markets. Signboards in Spanish will tell you where a barber shop is located or where to buy coral ornaments. There are not more than half a dozen real stores conducted on the American plan on the whole island. Instead of a market there is a daily auction near the government dock, where every thing in the way of provisions, furniture and fruit is knocked down to the highest bidder. Bananas, alligator pears and pineapples are the commonest articles of purchase, and here ships foom Jamaica, Cuba Nassau, in Bahamas, unload their cargoes and dispose of them at ruinous rates rather than risk a voyage at this time of year to more northern ports. Quick sales and small profits seem to be the prevailing idea with them. As a consequent Key West is perhaps, the greatest pineapple and banana market in the world. On almost any day one can secure an enormous bunch of bananas, ripe or green, at from 10 to 15 cents, and can cart away all the luxious pineapples he cares to purchase at 1 cent, 2 cents or 3 cents each. Directly opposite to the harbor docks, on the farther side of the island, and facing Cuba, is a large dancing pavilion called La Brisa, where Monday and Friday nights and Saturday afternoons public dances are held. It has large broad v-landas overlooking the sea, which make ideal promenades, and a commodious dancing hall within, where those who desire can trip the light fantastic to their hearts' content upon the payment of ILLUSTRATED GAZETTE A SPECIAL IMMIGRATION EDITION FOR 5,000 COPIES TO BE ISSUED.

They were in a little gully nearly half a mile from the ranch house. Suddenly, according to Alfreda's story, a great, soft-footed animal came over a rock, thirty yards away, and after two bounds, ornounced, facing the dog. The dog did no hesitate. With open mouth it made for the intruder. The mix-up which followed lasted some time, and when it was over the strange animal was standing, looking over its shoulder at the two children, licking its blood-stained chops. It had killed Leo, the dog. Then the two children ran home and told their mother, Miller, the ranchman stood by just long enough to hear about the dog's getting killed. Then he grabbed his 45-90 and headed for the dog, or what was left of it, lay where it had fallen, torn and mangled and partly eaten, while in the dust of a cow-pot near by was the print of a six-toed oat. But the animal had gone. The story Alfreda told spread far and near. The panther's raids on sheep, cattle and horse ranches were all pretty much the same. The cows would bellow late-snight; the cowboy guarding them, fearing a stampede, would grip his reins tightly, and leaning forward in his saddle, would give the "Yo-he-yo" to quiet them. The quick forming of a circle by the animals with horns out would tell of an invader. By straining his eyes the cowboy could sometimes see a beast that seemed almost white standing on a calf that had wandered from the bunch. Then before he could draw down on it the creature would be gone, sometimes with the calf in its jaws. Sometimes the stallions of a bunch of mustangs went charging from the bunch at something the herders could not see, but a low form, creeping almost like a snake, would be discovered. Then an easy leap would reveal the fate of a colt. The tramping horses, eager to protect one of their number, often drove the beast away before it could make an attack. Traps, poison, hunting parties with packs of dogs, all failed to put the beast out of the way. The only man who met it in daylight had left his revolver at Gretna to be repaired and had do firearms with him. This man was Tim Caldwell of the Half-Moon Spike outfit. He was riding along the trail when the panther stepped into the road in front of him and yawned. The surprise was great on both sides. Caldwell's horse turned on two legs and went riderless to the next ranch back on the trail. Caldwell was sitting in the dust, not too comfortable, facing the panther, which had stopped yawning. He drew a nine-inch bowie knife and the panther disappeared in two bounds among the rocks. Caldwell borrowed a rifle at the ranch where he got his horse, but never saw the beast again. On the slope in the Tetons there are many precipitous places where scrubby trees grow and jagged rocks point up through the surface. One of these is three or four miles from the ranch of Fred Hulbard. It is a lonely place, and a man standing on the lower ridge across the hollow in which this slope ends has a view which seems to make even the ranchmen shyter because it is so desolate. Late in December the six-toed panther made the mistake of his life. The Christmas festivities for the locality were at their height, and dozens of persons were at the Hulbard ranch. Christmas eve had just become Christmas morn when the sheep in the covered pen went plunging into the snow, bleeting loudly. The dogs howled, and the music stopped in the middle of a waltz. With an oath Hulbard grasped his rifle from the elk horns over the fireplace, and we went out the rear door. Soon two shots sounded, and a few minutes later Hulbard came in with a handful of bloody snow. "I hit six too that time," he said. THEY PULL DOWN AND EAT A DESERT KING THAT IS TOO OLD TO FIGHT THEM OFF. When a lion takes a walk in Africa or Asia it is followed commonly at a respectful distance by half a dozen jackals, which not being strong enough to pull down game for themselves and yet eager to taste blood, go after the great still hunter of the desert in the hope of getting the drippings from its claws. The lion does not object to them, as one swing of its unbeaten claws teaches the venturesome jackal a lesson that may be survived but never forgotten. 'A large lion which had grown old and weak, losing teeth and litheness of limbs, as well as sharpness of vision, in the shabbery which grows up in the southern parts and to the south of the Desert of Sahara, betrayed its failing strength one day last spring, and instantly near-by jackals, which had been respectful, came forward on the run and gave Wilson James, an American hunter, a fine lion baiting scene. The lion had snaked toward a herd of antelopes which James was seeking. It happened that the lion got within range before the man did, and leaped out at a medium-sized buck, bearing it to the ground. The most astonishing thing that the man had ever seen then happened. The chunk, a sturdy three-year-old, in the prime of life and vigor, rolled over, and in spite of the jaws and claws which the lion closed on it got out of reach, leaped to its feet and made off as only a scared, lean-limbed antelope can. The lion rose to its feet, lifted its head, and watched the fleeing animal join its comrades on a knoll half a mile away. Then down went the lion's head, and the big brute started to walk on across the open in which the antelope had been. The jackals which had been creeping on their bellies before the leep was made, and had sat up to watch result, started up the moment they saw the lion fail, and sprang after it with eager bounds, and howling as if on the trail of a wounded deer. None of the jackals appeared in the open, but others came in all directions, and all were bowling. They began to circle about the lion, which had stopped to watch them with mane bristling and tail jerking. Gradually the pack grew bolder. Some of the larger ones jumped toward the lion, landing near each time, but leaping back quickly. One more venturesome than the rest nipped the lion's heel, and the big brute turned ed ulmily, too late to grip the daring dog. In its prime, the lion never small profit less than a thousand dollars.

FEW AMERICANS LIVE IN KEY WEST—GREAT MARKET FOR FRUITS. A man who recently has returned from Key West, Fla., says the first impression a stranger gets of that place at the present time is that the city has gone on a perpetual holiday spree. Bounting flies from almost every housetop, and the colors are about evenly divided between "Old Glory" and the emblem of the Cuban republic. People of all classes and ages wear pins or other symbols bearing the motto "Cuba libre," and if Uncle Sam would only nod consent or say nothing at all about it the 15,000 patriotic inhabitants of this seagirt island would skip across the channel and tack the queen of Antilles to the star spangle without any more fuss. "Castillo del Morro," or Morro castle, is only eighty-seven miles from the Government dock at this walk on across the open in which the autelope had been. The jackals which had been creeping on their bellies before the leap was made, and had sat up to watch the result, started up the moment they saw the lion fail, and sprang after it with eager bounds, and howling as if on the trail of a wounded deer. None of the jackals appeared in the open, but others came in all directions, and all were bowling. They began to circle about the lion, which had stopped to watch them with mane bribling and tail jerking. Gradually the pack grew bolder. Some of the larger ones jumped toward the lion, landing nearer each time, and leaping back quickly. One more venturesome than the rest nipped the lion's heel, and the big brute turned clumsily, too late to grip the daring dog. In its prime, the lion never allows jackals to come within ten feet of the meat it is eating, and kills all that do after the fashion of lions, but this one could not protect its own skin now. First on one side, then on the other, came the jackals, snapping and even biting the big fellow. Little drops of blood trickled down the lion's heels. At last one of the jackals leaped to the back of the lion, and was off and away before the brute could turn. James had heard lions roar at night and in the daytime because of love, hunger, or wounds, but never such roars as those this lion gave. Neither did he ever hear more joyful howls or yelps from any of the dog kind than the howls of the jackals to pull down the lion, which was already weakening. The commotion had roused life for miles around. Jackals hurrying to the attack from their daytime lairs came for a mouthful. The screaming birds and carrion eaters hovered above, while all the cloven-heeled animals grew uneasy and ceased feeding to look in the direction whence the sounds came. The end came suddenly. A jackal which had made itself conspicuous by its daring, and supposed by James to have been the one that first leaped to the lion's back, jumped as it to seize the lion by the nose, but the lion was too quick this time and sank his teeth into the jackal's neck. Then the pack leaped forward all at once, and a mound of jackals heaved over the lion. When the mound dissolved a few bones were left to whiten in the dry sunlight. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

The sea raven had taken in four of the soulpin, about all but its soulpin, too, has a great heart fish of its size, but the sea raven its capacious mouth, would have down all right and swallowed the fish but for the short, stout spine the soulpin has, one on each side head. These now spread out and lie in the corners of the sea raven's mouth of a pit. It was quite important for the sea raven to swallow the sea any farther. In fact, its only desire was to get rid of it, and helping a little with some slight wrinkles the soulpin was soon free again swimming about — New York Swimming about. A Linguistic Training.

A little group of advanced women, girls with strong ideas of the rights of women, believers in their free competition with men and repudiators of the idea that women should be treated with more deference than men, were talking when one of them began: "Oh, girls, what do you suppose? I bought two men a drink." "You did?" exclaimed the chorus in admiration. "I did." "Not in a saloon, I hope?" anxiously inquired one who was not as advanced as the rest. "No; of course not. It was in a drug store." "Oh, do tell us all about it!" "You see, I was walking along the street with two men, when one of them suggested that we go in a drug store and get a drink. I made up my mind that I would not go in a drug store and let any man buy me soda water. I determined that I should insist upon my rights as a woman and buy the drinks. So I said I would go if they would let me pay for it." "You brave girl!" "They treated it as a joke at first. The very ideal! But I told them my principles, and finally they agreed, although the mean things laughed. Then we went in. You don't know how afraid I was that they would pay for the drinks anyhow. But I was too quick. When the clerk laid down the cheek, I just grabbed it, and I wouldn't give it up, and when we went out I reached the cashier first and laid down just the right amount. The cashier seemed surprised. I don't see why. But I actually bought soda water for two men. What do you think of that?" "You were a hero!" declared the girl who was the first to recover her breath.

A CYCLING MINISTER’S EXPERIENCE. THE RESULTS OF LONG, HARD RIDING. FULLY 3,000 MILES ON HIS WHEEL. He Makes Some Reflections on the Benefits of the Sport and Tells of its Dangers. From the Press, Utica, N. Y. The Rev. Wm. P. F. Ferguson, whose picture we give above, will not be unfamiliar by sight to many readers. A young man, he has still had an extended experience as foreign missionary, teacher, editor, lecturer and pastor that has given him a wide acquaintance in many parts of the country. In an interview a few days ago he said: “In the early summer of ’94 I went upon a tour through Canada on my wheel. My route was from Utica to Cape Vincent thence by steamer to Kingston, and from there along the north shore of the lake to Toronto and around Niagara Falls. I arrived at Cape Vincent at 5 o’clock, having ridden against a strong head wind all day. ‘After a delightful sail through the Thousand Islands, I stepped on shore in which a good deal of space was taken by an article in relation to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I did not at that time know what they were supposed to cure. I should have paid no attention to the article had I not caught the name of a lady whom I knew. Reading, I found that she, in similar circumstances, had been greatly benefited by the use of Pink Pills, and knowing her as I did I had no doubt of the truth of the statement that she had authorized. The first box was not gone before I saw a change, and the third had not been finished before all signs of my rheumatic troubles were gone to stay. “I say ‘gone to stay,’ for though there has been every opportunity for a return of the trouble, I have not felt the first twinge of it. I have wheeled thousands of miles and never before with so little discomfort. I have had some of the most severe tests of strength and endurance, and have come through them without an ache. For example, one afternoon I rode seventy miles, preached that night and made fifty miles of the hardest kind of road before noon the next day. Another instance was a ‘Century run,’ the last forty miles of which were made in a downpour of rain through mud and slush. “You should think I would recommend them to others? Well, I have, and have had the pleasure of seeing very good results in a number of instances. Yes, I should feel that I was neglecting a duty if I failed to suggest Pink Pills to any friend whom I knew to be suffering from rheumatism.” "The barmaid judges her customers the cut of their clothes. If you want to attract her attention, you must pretend yourself with a silk hat and a handmade cane in your hand and a suit in the latest fashion. The high hat is rigueur. Without that there is no possible chance of success." "It was not without difficulty that I managed to get an interview with one of these young ladies, whose intelligence was equal to her beauty. At first I was astonished at finding so much intelligence in an English girl, but I learned that she was Irish, and that explained the mystery. Her father was dead and her mother was left without resources. So she was determined to come to London and look for a husband by posing behind a bar in Piccadilly." "I was hardly more than three days here," she said with an amiable andagnish air, "when I understood why it was that so many pretty English girls don't get husbands. When they are beautiful, they are generally stupid. When they are intelligent, they are cold, masculine and ugly. Englishmen travel great deal and meet in their ramblings through the world very many sprightly women, and they do not care for pretty girls who don't know how to chat with them." "But in this mixture that comes here to drink and chat," I said, "how do you distinguish the men of the world from the others?" "I recognize them by three things," she said boldly, "by their figure, by their clothes and by their complexion. For the most part they are tall and thin, pressed in the latest fashion and have a complexion more or less bronzeed. This last trait is the surest sign." Seeing that looked astonished, she added: "Nothing can be more simple. An English gentleman, if he has a fortune, passes three-fourths of his time hunting and on other open air exercise. The chaps who remain always in London have aaler and more delicate complexion, and, moreover, the expression of their faces is quite different from that of the others." "Noticing with what attention I was listening to her, she continued: 'The gentlemen that I refer to have nothing elegant about them except their clothes, or their conversation lacks novelty. How can a man who understands nothing but hunting and cricket interest an intelligent woman? The conversation that goes on here in the name of wit makes me tired, but these gentlemen are the easiest of all to deceive. They are great big children in everything except sport and politics.'" "But you are always engaged," I said, "and it is difficult to get an opportunity to chat with you. You must already have had several offers of marriage?"" "I have been only one month here, and I have already had three. Two were from very rich sportsmen, but riches alone won't do for me. What I am after,' she added, laughing, 'is a title. You know, I must have a title.'" At this moment the play in one of the neighboring theaters was over, and the public house was invaded by a crowd of men, more or less stylish. The beautiful Irish girl kept herself somewhat aloof and only served customers that had the appearance of gentlemen. "Well, I left London. A few months afterward, on returning there, I wanted to see once more my beautiful Irish barmaid. She was gone. Another lady was..." "I have been only one month here, and I have already had three. Two were from very rich sportsmen, but riches alone won't do for me. What I am after,' she added, laughing, 'is a title. You know, I must have a title.' "At this moment the play in one of the neighboring theaters was over, and the public house was invaded by a crowd of men, more or less stylish.

A few months afterward, on returning there, I wanted to see once more my beautiful Irish barmaid. She was gone. Another lady was in her place, and she told me that Miss Clara had left to marry the second son of a prominent nobleman." Addition to Yellowstone Park. Captain Anderson, superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, says that an effort is being made to secure legislation from congress which would add the Jackson's Hole country to the park. The area which it was proposed to take in is about 50 miles square and contains Jackson's lake and the Three Tuton mountain peaks. It is rich in natural scenery and would, in the opinion of the captain, add materially to the park's attractiveness. Senator Carter of Montana has drafted a bill for that purpose, which has the indorsement of the senators from Montana and Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have not yet been won over.—Omaha Bee. We resent calumny, hypocrisy and treachery because they harm us, not because they are untrue. Take the detraction and the mischief from the untruth, and we are little offended by it. Turn it into praise, and we may be pleased with it. And yet it is not calumny and treachery that do the largest sum of mischief in the world. They are continually crushed and are felt only in being conquered. But it is the glistening and softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy, the patriotic lie of the historian, the provident lie of the politician, the zealous lie of the partisan, the merciful lie of the friend and the careless lie of each man to himself that cast that black mystery over humanity through which we thank any man who pierces, as we would thank one who dug a well in a desert. Happy that the thirst for truth remains with us, even when we have willfully left the fountains of it.—John Ruskin. The Measure of the Man. When a man says he is satisfied with his lot, you may be sure of one of two things—either he is a very enterprising and cunning specimen of humanity or he is a liar.—Up to Date. N. HART'S PLACE.
