BUiQUehanna. March 9. A well-
iknown Oakland hunter, who hns had
Lnuch experience In deer hunting In
I he wilds of Pike county, has of late
een kept awuke at night by the shrill
Irlcs of wMdcats on the hills, and lie
letermlned to put a stop to the con-
lrU. Coming to Susquehanna, he bor-
wed several dogs that had hiul exper-
fnce In Pike county, and later secured
pie services of a young Oakland hun-
r, who had killed the champion buck
,.ur Phoholiu Reaching home, he at
nee planned lo round-up wildcats. The
reteran hunter posted the young one
!tnd the dogs in places of vantage and
Imtlcntly awaited the coming of the
lats. They had not long to wait.
Ith a savage yell, a great cat came
hounding over a knioll and towards the
Ituntlng iarty, wlui drew their guns
"mil prepared to fill the beast with shot
as It "shlnnctr" up a tree. Nearer and
nearer came the screaming beast.
Stopping midway between the two
hunters, It whuked ut both, gave a
mighty leap and dodged beneath a rock
and wns seen no more. Tho disgusted
hunters Mild a feu things, kicked the
dogi" and returned sadly home.
Thot night the wildcat crossed the
liver, and has sinew; been posing as a
panther In the Egypt section of Great
Head township. The Oakland hunters
are still on the tndl of the terror, re
inforced by a numtber of experienced
panther hunters of Oakland borough.
The hunters found tracks In the snow
as large as a snuwr, and tall marks
eighteen Inches Ions. From measure
ments and calculations the beast Is
thought to be nine fVct lone.
Farmers hear loud ."creams on the
hills at night, and belated lovers run
frightened to their homes. The hunt
continues nightly. Residents of the
Egypt tract have lately seen flickering
lights on the eastern horizon, and have
marked them ns new stars in the con
stellation. They aro lanterns carried
by the Oakland hunters In their mad
and eager chase after a peregrinating
panther.

LONG'S SONS
A NIXED MENU.
IT WAS a charming little fitting
room in which Mrs. Mason sat
sewing dainty Htitches. liefore her
stood the servant girl who, with a
stolid stare, announced that she
had found a place down town.
"Hut, Mary, you surely would not
leave me without help," Mrs. Mason
answered.
"1 got a place where 1 get tree dol
lar." "I would give you three dollars, but
you agreed to work for me for two and
a half If I would teach you to talk and
do the work."
"I got anoder place down town. I .say
I go next week."
Entreaty and persuasion were alike
in vain. It all ended with, "I go next
week."
One year from this time Mrs. Mason
was a wiser, if not a better woman,
and when Lena announced, "I got un
other place down town," she merely
answered, "very well," for this was
the third girl that she had trained for
the woman down town.
When Mr. Mason came home to din
ner that night, he saw at once that
some shadow had clouded the domestic
heaven: but when his wife had poured
out her tale of woe, she proceeded to
lay before him plans for her future
campaign. When ho had fully caught
her Idea he laughed long and loud.
"You're a mighty smart little wo
man, Maria, hut If you try that game
you'll full down," ho announced, when
she asked for his opinion of her plans.
"I'll not fall down any harder than
I have In my other plans, and I be
lieve I can do It."
"All right. I'll back you," he prom
ised encouragingly.
Assured of her husband's co-operation,
Mrs. Mason very willingly ngrced
to take Lena's cousin, Christina, who
had just arrived from the fatherland.
In the week which Intervened before
the udvent of the new domestic, one
might have supposed Mrs. Mason to be
a blue-stocking of the deejiest dye, for
she carried a pencil stuck in her hair,
and stopped to Jot down burning
thoughts on whatever was most con
venient to rest her notebook upon; tho
baby's back or the bottom of tho dish
pan were alike available. When tho
now Christina appeared, fresh and rosy
and clean, sho started at her task with
vigor. Her former experience taught
her the best method of Instruction, and
taking up ono artlclo after another, she
told the names distinctly, and encour
uged Christina to repeat It until she
was sure of it.
The llrst performance In the domes
tic act was to fry potatoes for lunch
eon. "This, Christina," said Mrs. Mason,
as she held up the spider. "Is a kettle,
and these nre eggs," pointing to the
potatoes. After this the bread and
tho meat, the crackers and tho raisins,
tho coffeo and the lemons, changed
places, and DO of the commonest uten
sils In tho kitchen and dining room
were In a confusion that had no order
except In tho fertile brain ot Mrs. Ma
son; but sho had her list well memor
ized, and her mistakes were few, Mr.
Mason gave her enthusiastic support,
and though ho feared to give an order
to Christina without first consulting
his wife, and his appealing look at tho
table when he held up the cracker Jar
to Christina and asked fop morn raisins
was very amusing, he gave his wife
unstinted admiration for the gllh man
ner In which sho could order u six
pound bread fried rare, or a small
plcco of roast beef for tho wator
pitcher.
Unsuspecting Clulstlna worked hard
at her part of the game, evidently de
sirous of fitting herself a3 soon as pos.

slble for the "tree dollar place" down
town. She Jabbered In hf"' native
tongue gladly with her friends, and her
English that chance might call Into
use, never Intruded on the ground
with which Mrs. Mason tampered. Tho
excitement of her experiment added
quite a little interest to the usually
monotonous work ofV(iainliig u green
girl, and Mrs. .Mason taught her many
mysteries in salads and boups that she
had heretofore kept as Kirlctly private
knowledge. Christina had reached that
stage In her development when Mrs.
Mason could give an order tor dinner
and go out for an afternoon with some
assurance that a palatable, well-served
dinner would await her ictiiui. She
knew that the time was nenr at hand
for the Inevitable announcement, and
so when Christina said, a little nioie
shyly than some of the former girls:
"My cousin sho got me place where T
sec her every day. The woman, she say
the glad to get girl that you make.
She have your fclrl anoder time."
Mrs. Mason answered cheerily:
"All right, Christina, you can go
right along. I'll get along without a
girl for a while, but Mr. Mason Is go
ing to bring company home tonight,
and I watit a very nice dinner,"
Christina smiled at so willing an
acquiescence to her plans, nnd asked:
"What I get for dinner?"
"We'll have someof that nlceoatmeal
cream, a cabbage fried cake, some
souped eggs, a chicken omelette, and
you may get some of the best oyster
cookies from the pickle. Make some
coffee soup, Christina, and make the
freezer full. I think we'll have soda
pie with it."
"All right, I do It." answered Chris
tina, willingly, and Mr. Mason smiled
ns sho thought of the lady down town.
"Now, madam, you're welcome to the
fruit of my labor."
If she felt the least bit guilty, the
memory of the many hours of care and
thought that she had given to tho
training of green girls came to np
pease her conscience.
'I only wish I could sco the other
acts," she said to Mr. 'Mason. "I ex
pect to be In the fifth myself, but I
feel I shall miss tho third and fourth."
Christina reported bright and early
at Mrs. Mender's, eager to prove her
self worthy of her advance. Circum
stances compelled Mrs. Render to
leave her entirely to her own devices
tho first day; but on the morning of
tho second she enmo In haste Into tha
kitchen.
"Christina," she said, "get breakfast
ns quickly as possible. Mr. Homier
wants to make that early train. Wo
generally want toast, but wo will got
along without It this morning; nnd wo
like it rare," sh added, pointing to
the beef steak.
"Hare!" Christina exclaimed.
"Yes, rare, You understand what
that is, don't you?"
"Y-e-s."
"Well, we always take It rare, and
our coffee strong."
"You take coffee for breakfast?"
"Always; and u would like It ns
soon ns possible, Christina."
Mrs. Bender sailed out of the kitchen
and confidentially told Mr. Render that
the new girl seemed exceedingly stupid,
or else she had a very peculiar man
ner. "Sho Is In a constant state of sur
prise," who added, "and I declare, I
smell bread toasting. 1 told her not to
toast It this morning."
In an Incredibly short time the break
fast bell rang, and when the Bender
family sat down to tho table the look
of surprlsowas transferred from Chris
tina's faco to theirs, for on tho platter
lay a line steak, fresh from tho refrig

each made a frantic effort to convince
the other that she was responsible for
the mistake. Mrs. Bender grew angry,
and Christina resorted to tears, and
while Mr. Bender listened to their con
fusing explanations, he made his break
fast on toast and lemonade.
Matters grew worse rapidly, and In
spite of repeated and patient explana
tions, Christina's Ideas weie In a state
of hopeless confusion, but neither she
nor Mrs. Bender ever thought of the
little woman on the hill as the author
of all their troubles. At the end of
two weeks Mrs. Bender took a street

HOMICIDE AMONG ITALIANS.
The Crime Is Frequent but the Cause
Is Not Political.
Dr. Xapolcone Cobjamil, In tho 1'orum.
Every Italian who holds himself
aloof from the prejudices of ordinary
patriotism will recognize that the
moral conditions of our country are
not of the best, and that, In tho gen
eral statistics of homicide, Italy holds
a disgraceful supremacy. More mur
ders aro committed In Italy than in
Spain or Hungary; and In tho latter
two countries tho number of homicides
has been supposed to be the largest In
Europe. Having said this much, with
n sincerity which none can doubt, it
remains for us to examine Into the de
tails concerning the fact.
For the years lS9.--lifi.97, wo find that
an nverogo of lL'.iiS per 100.COO Inhabi
tants In Italy have been accused of
homicide. A more detailed study
brings to light these facts: (1) The
provinces of Italy which glvo tho high
(st averages for homicide aro Olrgentl,
W.Gr,: Sassarl, RG.S3; Trapanl, 33.25; Pal
ermo, SL'.'JS: and Naples, :il.T6. (2)
Those which yield the lowest avorages
aro Mantu, 1.S7; Bergamo, 2.1'.; Padua,
2.15; Sondtio, 2.17; and Cremona, 2.05.
These figures go to prove that thoro ex
ists in Italy a largo zone almost all
northern Italy which, as regoids hom
icide, very nearly approaches the most
civilized countries of Europe, Difficult
as Is the study of crime In the United
States, It may bo said that thoro exists
In that country, also, an enormous dif
ference In tho criminal statistics of
different regions. For example, In the
statistics for 1SP8 we find a maximum
of 20 homicides per 100,000 Inhabitants
In Now York. In San Francisco the
number was 13.33. The minimum wns
found in Baltimore, 0.5!). Washington
has tho small percentage of 0.79. Italy
nnd the United States aro pre-eminent
In regard to tho differences In social
conditions found in tho different sec
tions of tho samo country,
Tho various political ci lines of tho
Italians have given the enemies of
the democracy the pretext of attribut
ing the high criminal averuge to thu
propaganda through which tho popu
lar factions republicans, radicals and
socialists aro seeking to ppur tho Ital
ian people on to n more highly civilized
llfo. Now, statistics show that tho
crime of homicide Is greatest In tho
south of Italy In Sardinia and Sicily
that Is to say, In those parts where tho
fewest republicans and socialists aro

upon homicide from the standpoint of
political propogandlsm, we aro forced
to admit that In Italy, as in Germany,

THE FASHION PLATE CHILD.
)
I'm a poor little (avMnn plate child.
And my manner urc gentle and mild,
Hut thu trlnli I endure and the dm I abjure
Would w.'t any other child wild.
All my frocU are quite fetching; and tmart,
But great ratre fill my poor little heart,
When I fnollklily atand with a purse In my hanl
hi a poo quite approved by Ilelnarte,
An umbrella I hae, though ' plain
There la not the li'it chance of a rain,
For my ahoea and my hat Jre not fitted fer lht
My hair would be curled all In vain.
I.lltlo irlrU mut all hate me, I fear,
For on Hmidajn nnd afternoon clear
They aro dressed juit like me for the public fi
see,
And their comment are riiutlr, 1 hear.
How I wili I could wear an old drew
M.nlo of gingham, and then 1 jmt (rueai
I would nuke aouie mud piet that would opei
your eyen,
Though my pow might not be a. lucceaa.
