People were very scarce in those days and bears were very plenty. We also had wolves, wildcats, wild cattle, wild hogs and a good many long tailed and big headed yellow California lions The wild cattle, brought there from Spanish Mexico, next to the bear were most to be feared. They had long, sharp horns and keen, sharp hoofs. Na- ture had gradually helped them out in these weapons of defense. They had grown to be slim and trim of body and were as supple and swift as deer. They were the deadly enemies of all wild beasts, because all wild beasts devoured their young. When fat and saucy, in warm sum- mer weather, these cattle would hover along the foothills in bands, hiding in the hollows, and would begin to bellow whenever they saw a bear or wolf or even a man or boy, if oa foot, alley of ge of Deirtal Surgeons, t0 5.30 p. a. 1808. the io.

CARE OF LACES. fron lace on fhe right side first, then | om the wrong side to throw up the pat- tern. When putting Ince away, fold as little | ms possible. A good plan is to wind it | | mound @ card, as they do in the shops. When ironing laces, cover them with clean, white tissue paper. This pre- wents the shiny look seen on washed lace. Use cormflour instead of ordinary stamch for stiffening laces. This makes them firm and does not detract from fhe lacy appearance. Laces snd other delicate trifies shoul be pilaced in 2 muslin bag before bein; belled. "This prevents their getting lost and form in the wash. After "getting up" laces do not leave fhem #o mir in a damp place--round the fire when the kettle is boiling, for instance. This robs them of their fresh- mess and makes them look limp. All laces before being ironed should be carefilly pulled out, each point re- peiving attention. You will be repaid for your trouble, ms the lace will look twice ms mice and last clean a much longer time. d g Too Suggestive.

Devices of British Soldiers to Es cape From the Army. To desert from either the army 'or the navy is not the easiest thing in the world, and even when accomplished the culprit lives in daily fear of being recaptured and sentenced to a heavy term of impris- onment., Therefore the devices employed by some deserters are as ingenious as they are exciting, although they cannot be said to be always crowned with suc cess. For sheer audacity the case of an Irish soldier who deserted in a south coast town some years ago would be hard to beat, Just at that time a number of desertions had occurred in the neighbor hood, and the authorities were therefore unusually sharp to prevent further of fenses of this nature. But the man in question was dissatisfied with soldiering and, having a number of friends in the town who were disposed to help him and being possessed of an unusually large | modicum of pluck, resolved to delay his return to civil life no longer. One morning early he slipped out of barracks and made his way to a friend's house without being seen. Arriving there, he shaved off his mustache and, donning a policembn's uniform, boldly promenad- ed the main streets of the town. He was of course missed in barracks and knew | that the surrounding country was being scoured in the hopes of finding him. On one occasion his sergeant came up to him snd asked him if he had seen or heard anything ofthe missing man, and | he of course replied that he had not, but he would keep his eyes open! For more than a fortnight he preserved his dis guise without it being penetrated even by the police themselves, and he then calmly left the town when the hue and cry had | subsided somewhat. Nevertheless his en- terprise came to naught, for he was ar- | rested in trying to work his passage back to Ireland. Scarcely less audacious was the ruse employed by another dissatisfied son of Mars, and in this case likewise it proved futile. He happened to know that a cer- | tain publican in the town was in anything but affluent circumstances, for he visited the bouse regularly, wnd from remarks dropped at odd times discovered that the publican was heavily in debt to a Scotch spirit merchant. One morning as soon as the publican opened his doors the soldier arrived, after having first disguised him- gelf with a beard and wig and donned civilian attire. With him came a friend, who agreed to act as a representative of the law, and he prpmptly told the aston- ished publican that he had orders to leave a man in possession unless the sum ow- ing to the Scotch spirit merchant was | paid to him there and then. The publican of course could not pay, so the deserter was guartered upon him and lived in his house and at his expense for more than 8 week before the deception was discovered. Perhaps the most successful deserter, for & time, was William Conrad, Through one of his comrades he heard of a man whose son had gone to Australia gold mining and had apparently disappeared, for nothing more had been heard of him. though the parent still believed he would see him again. Conrad therefore hit upon the Ingenious idea of leaving the army by stealth and, going to the man, informing him that he was the missing son. As his knowledge of Australia was considerable he lost no time in putting his plan into execution, and the parent, believing in him despite the supposed alteration in his appearance, provided him with a home and money galore, a commodity he con- fessed he lacked. But, unfortunately for him, at the end of 18 months the real son turned up, and what followed can better be imagined than described.--London Regiment. | Hastened His Death. A worthy professor noticed a horse with what seemed to be a very singular bone formation in one of its legs. The animal was attached to a dilapidated cart and driven by a burly coster, The professor spoke to the man and, after making a brief examination of the protuberance, concluded by saying: "When your horse dies, 1 should like that leg for scientific examination. Bring it to my house, and 1 will give you half a sovereign for it." Two hours later, on reaching home, he found a long, awkward bundle in the hall, which on being opened proved to contain the leg of the horse.

One Man's Method of Golng Fishing 'With His Boots. There is about as much sport fi catching the big sunfish as in ufting out the crappie if you can get the former In one of its savage moods. Pelker is a great grafter on sunfishe He has got a dozen different kinds of bait, but he says that it Is all nonsense to trouble about digging worms. He declares that beef run through a hams burg steak grinder Is just the propeg caper for the sunfish at Creve Ceeut lake. The tougher the beef the bettery as It will cut in long strips like angles Worms. "When the sunfish are biting right smart, It is about all that I can do to be kept in the shop," said Pelker. "1 be« lieve me and the sunfish are the most cheering things out. Do you know, 1 have noticed old time fishermen at Breese's lake wading around in tha shallow water, where the sunfish are found at spawning time, as carefully, as if they were fishing for trout. Now, it Is different with me when I go out with my nburg ak to feed the golden bellled beauties on, I just tia the line to each leg of my boots, take a little short rod in my hand and stride to the water and go abead. On the bootleg lines I use red files, Why, tha sunfish come up and get stuck on my fly hooks three or four at & time. That's the way to eatch a mess of fish in & few hours. "1 can catch crapple with crawfish tails to beat the band if I cannot get minnows. Crickets are at sunfish and bassrbait, w 2 the tydids will make a crappie leave its bed at mid« night. Just let your hook sing once g with a green katy on, and if there, is a crappie within a radius of 10 or 15 feet it will come Ilka a hound at a coursing match. If you get no bite, you can pull your freight up a few car lengths and try & new place. I caught all those big erap- ple last Week with craw tails. I could get no minnows for love or money, SO 1 chased up some crawfish and went in to win. When it comes to catfish bait, just try tripe.
