But It Took a Troop of Baboons to Kill
the Big Cat.
A vivid pen picture of a fight be-
tween a leopard and a troop of baboons
is given in a German paper by P. Rit
fer, a sportsman and explorer In Ger-
man West Africa. Leopards have a
particular king for baboon flesh,
which is often used as bait to trap
them.
“One afternoon.” the hunter relates,
“1 was resting on the shady side of a
pig rock which formed the bank of a
small stream. On the opposite side a
troop of baboons came down chatter
ing toward the water, 2 large male go-
ing cautiously in front. glancing and
scenting around for danger.
ed immobile.
“A deep grunt assured the herd that
all was well, and down the steep slope
they came. last of all a female with
two young. which the mother tenderly
helped over the rough places. Sudden-
ly a blg leopard shot ont from behind
a bowlder and with one blow of his
paw grabbed one of the young.
“The mother, with a roar of fury,
threw herself upon the big cat. The
others halted and with one accord
clambered back to her assistance. The
leopard bad just settled the female and
was about to make off with his prey
when he found himself surrounded by
the whole horde. which closed in upon
him. :
“He gave as good as he got, and
two big baboons rolled down the slope
apparently done for, but numbers told,
and he was literally torn to pleces. It
was a horribly fascinating sight, and I
never regretted more having no camera
with me than I did then.”
THEY DIDN'T FIGHT.
It Was Only a Little Friendly Discus-
sion That Excited Them.
Twe Spaniards were conversing ear-
nestly, then excitedly. at last angrily.
The young American woman who pass-
ed them looked with frightened eyes!
toward ber Spanish guide.
“What are they talking about, Senor
Jose?" she asked timidly. “Do you
think they will tight—or maybe kill?"
“Al. no. Nenorita Marie,” replied
Jose. smiling and showing his pretty
teeth. “One man—that one, you see,
senorita. with the long mustachios—he
is saying. ‘Me, 1 prefer much the col-
jalre button which is steel.’ and the
other one—Ilook. senorita—he is running |
his fingers through his hair now and
his sombrero has a gold cord—he is
saying, ‘Ah. no. senor, the button which
1s of gold—si, senor. that is the button
for me.’
“Bat as for myself, senorita, the bone
collaire button—~that I prefer above all
the others.
“Do 1 not speak with good sense,
senorita? Listen. If the button is of
steel it will cut, if it is of gold one can-
not afford to lose it, but if it is of bone
1t does not cut, and if it goes what mat-
ter? 1 have a dozen at home in my
little top drawer.”
“You speak with great good sense,
Dou Jose. but tell me—were the men
really angry?”
“Oh, not ut all, senorita. It is only
our southern way of being Interested

two Germans, senorita, or maybe two

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Their Use on an important Scale Dates
From 1876.
‘I'he tirst experimental philosopher to
discover that electric light could be
produced by a dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy, who in 1810 exhibited
| a light three inches long. between car
{ bor points. before the Royal society of
| London. But po commercial value was
| attached to the use of electricity as an
! illuminant until more than half a cen-
| tury later. The Centennial exhibition,
held in Philadelphia In 1876, really
marks the era of our present form
of electric light. though electric lights
had been in use abroad prior to that
time. The exhibition of models and
practical demonstrations of electric
lights at Philadelphia in 1876 attracted
the attention of xcientisix and capital-
{sts In this country. and the tirst in-
candescent unpx and the first are
system were put to practical use in
a small way in 1878. The Brush arc
light gained favor in the beginning
as the most adaptable for street light-
ing. and Cleveland. O.. the home of
Charles Francis Brush. the inventor, |
was the initinl American city to adopt |
the arc system for street lighting.
Since 1878 both the Brush arc sys- |
tem and the Edison incandescent sys-
| tem have developed.—Marc M. Rey-
i nolds in Moody's Magazine.

“Donde esta?’ he hesitatingly asked
and paused.
The two dark visaged persons listen-
ed attentively.
“Gracias.” stammered the Cleveland
man. “Doude estan?”
Then one of the men looked at the
other.
“Say, Bill." he growled, "what in

And after that it was easy.—Cleve-
Jand Plain Dealer.
The Donkey's Choice.
The vexed question of the future
life of animals has troubled the Mo- |
hammedan, as it has other religions. |
"The question, It seems, was considered
by Allah a long time ago, and all the
animals were asked if they wished to
enter paradise. They at once sald
yes. except the donkeys. These were
cautious and asked if little boys went
to heaven. The answer being yes,
they replied. “In that case we prefer
to go to—the other place.” S. H. Lee-
der vouches for the fable in “The
Desert Gateway.”
Friendships.
There ure three friendships which are
advantageous and three which are in-
jurious. Friendship with the upright,
friendship with the sincere and friend
ship with the man of much informa-
tion—these are advantageous. Friend-
ship with the man of specious airs,
friendship with the insinuatingly soft,
friendship with the glib tongued—these
are injurious.—Confucius.

asked the fluffy baired damsel as she
