How many mounted and followed after we cannot guess, but our mule realized the situation and made no jumps of less than 14 feet. No, it is no canard. We were mobbed and driven out, and we shan’t visit that town again until we are tired of life and ready to hang. The news of the sudden death of Major John Williams fell like a blow on the town last Wednesday. The ma~ jor r. turned home last Tuesday night, drunk as usual, but seeming to be all right. and Wednesday morning he was foiud dead in his bed. As men aver- age up out this way the major was a good man. We early discovered that he fled from the east on account of em- bezzlement, but even when he threat- ened our life, as he did on several occa- sions, we never mentioned the fact to him. He wanted to run us as editor and mayor, and because he couldn’t. he was hunting for us with a gun, about half the time. We had to shoot him on three different occasions, but we al- ways shot gently and with no intention to kill, and we have the receipts to prove that we paid his doctor bill. When his better nature prevailed, he was our good friend and kept our demijohn empty and was always in our debt for borrow- ed money. We can’t say that the soul of Major Williams went straight from Giveadam Gulch to heaven, but we do lelieve that. much of the rough trail was made smooth, and that the change has been to his benefit. Mr. Silas Jackson of Pine Hill spent Wednesday night last in the town lock- up of Giveadam Gulch, and next morn- iot: he went. home threatening a damage suit against us as mayor. He got drunk and fired seven bullets into the front doors of the city hall, and as the city marshal was not at hand wo gave him the collar and marched him off. Mr. Jackson claims that the first- he knew of our presence was when his heels struck a billbOard six feet from the earth. - He contends that he was acting in ariotous manner, and that it was .our duty as mayor to have read him the riot act and_commanded him to dis- perse. He will base his suit on this, but we wish to inform him that techni- calities don’t go in this tovvn. We have always carried a copy of the riot. act in our vest pocket since being elected to tho mayoraltv, but have never yet met with a riot which seemed too big for us to suppress in the ordinary way. If we back up against something with four or fivo good men in the front row, we shall stop to read the act in aloud voice, but if there is only one man, and we can get. a hand on his collar and our knee in the small of his back, he‘s got to disperse without any further formal- ity.

The portly stranger, having been ad- mitted to tho. presence of the successful author, got down to business right away. the value of cooperation, for the nat- uralist saw two of them combine their efforts in order to set a particularly heavy stone rolling. One monkey, bent on making the most of his missile, was seen to carry a stone up a tree that he might hurl it with greater effect. On the occasion when the dogs attacked the baboons, the baboons were crossing a valley, and, as usual during a march, the females and young were in the centre, the males treading the column and bringing up the rear. As the dogs rushed upon them only the females took to flight. The males turned and faced the enemy, growling, beating the ground with their hands and opening their mouths wide so as to show their glitter- ing teeth. They looked so fierce and malicious that the dogsâ€"Arab grey- hounds, accustomed to fight successfully with hyenas and other beasts of preyâ€"â€" shrank back. By the time they were encouraged to renew the attack the whole herd had made its way, covered by the rear guard, to the rocks, one little six-months old monkey alone ex- cepted. This little monkey sat on a rock, surrounded by the dogs, but he was not long left in his perilous position. An old baboon stepped from a cliff near by, advanced toward the dogs, keeping them in check by threatening gestures and sounds, picked up the baby monkey and carried it to a place of safety on the cliff, while the whole crowd of baboons watched the act of heroism and shouted their battlecry. mâ€"â€"-â€"- The Crocodile. A FEW OF HIS PECULIAR. WAYS OF' TRANSACTING BUSINESS. There is little in the animal kingdom that can look so dead and be so much alive as a crocodile. The number of unsuspecting persons who have mis- taken him for a log and have failed to discover their mistake until it was too late to be of any benefit to them will never be knowu. In ancient times, several years prior to the British occu- pation of Egypt, some of the people of that country worshipped the crocodile as a god, there being nothing else like him. They fed him on dainties and togged him out with jewelry. In other parts of Egypt, however, the natives looked upon him as a devil. Having no firearms, they did not fill him with lead, but they managed to immolate him successfully with such weapons as were fashionable at the time. The crocodile is not so numerous in the Nile as he runs in the days of the Rameses family. In fact, be rather shuns the river now below the second cataract on from tourist trafiic. It seems impossible for a tourist to see a crocodile without trying to plug him with a revolver, and to a reptile that is fond of a quiet life this sort of thing is simply insufferable. He will not molest a man unless he can take him at a disadvantage, and so long as a man does not unthinkingly step on him, the crocodile will go his own way He ,nccount of tho annoyances inseparable ileum Paper and Picture frames w. a.
