To the "tenderfoot" a mountain lion scarcely seems to be a beast that one can afford to be familiar with, but among hunter's who know his 'traits there are some at least who hold him in scorn. One such is Mr. M. H. Bak ker who describes in Outdoor Life how he captured four of the big cats for an Eastern "zoo," , I had heard, says, he sa s that there were some lions near Troy, Montana; and so Charlie Wood and I bought food enough to last us four or five days, and started out to look for tracks. Finally we found. a track two or three days old and set our dogs on it. Be- fore , l'ong they were out of, hearing, but we followed their trail for about a mile and came to where three other lion tracks joined the one they were on. We travelled as fast as we could through the snow, and every time we reached a divide we listened for the dogs, but could hear nothing. We knew that they would never quit until -they had every lion up a tree, and that they would hold them there until ave came even it took us -•two or three days. At . two o'clock the next afternoon we stopped at the top of a mountain to listen, and we could hear the 'dogs giving tongue about halfway down the other side. In an. hour we were, down ,to where the dogs were and found that they had two half-grown lions in large fir trees. They had held them there all night. After we had fed the dogs Charlie cut me a pole about sixteen feet long, and I went up the..,tree where the first lion was and put a wire' loop round his neck and chained hiin to a big pine tree, just as you would tie a dog. Then we went to the tree where the dogs had the other lion; but just as I was near enough to put the wire noose round his neck, he got uneasy,. and clown the treehe carne. Away he., went with the dogs at his heels. After running about seven hundred rods the dogs treed him, and I tried the, same ac ics again. This time he was not - so spry, and I put' -the wire i round his neck. We tied him also to a tree. That night vie stayed at a ranch house, and at daylight the next morn -1 ing went back to where we had tied the last lion.: We found that he had broken the chain near'the collar and I escaped. When we turned the dogs loose on his track they led 'up the mountain to -a deer carcass, where we found the tracks •of two other lions. Pretty soon the dogs barked "treed," and we captured another lion, which we took down and tied in the barn at • the ranch, because the day had turned snowy. The next clay we returned to the, place where the lions had killed the deer and found two sets of tracks in the snow -one leading up the 'moun- be GREAT WORLD GMNS arecombined in the perfected ready -cooked cereal s s o blertid d r! n � o "' AL Me tan; and the other down, The dogs took the tippe?, ttack, aratiit leas than fifteen minutes they had the lion up a gee.

Your Tame Uotrst+ ,Animal is Really a Wildcat From Egypt. • Thousands of years before the be- ginning of the Christian era Egypt was a land of storehouses overflowing with the rich produce of, the fertile, Nile Valley. Rats and ,nice -found' no where such food suppliesandhospit- able hiding places as in these g»anar ies. ' It is surmised' that the first attem t` at'domestdating the cat was made when specimens of the feline tribe which abounded inregion) were ( the caught and locked up in the greau houses to kill the rodent vermin. The idea- proved such a success that the;priests- s (who were thehereal•rulers of Egypt) declared the cat a 'sacred animal. Temples were built in honor of the cat 'goddess Pasht and pussies were mummified with as much cere- mony as men and women. Zhe'Phoenicians, .those hardy 'voy- agers, found 'cats aseful to catch rats and mice on shipboard. They carried them from Egypt to all parts of the then known world and thus the ani- mal became cosmopolitan, RI-EU,1ATIS'I CURED In the days of our fathers and grand- fathers rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and odd age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as *ell as many young, people. Medical science did not understand the trouble—did not know that it -was ,rooted in the blood. It'was thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold and damp, and it was treated with liniments and hot applications, -which sometimes gave temporary re- lief, .but did not cure the trouble. In those days there were thousands. of rheumatic cripples. Now, medical science understands that rheumatism' is a disease of the blood, and that with good, rich; ° red 'blood any nlan or woman of- aY age e eu'' n can defyrh matism. It can be cured by killing the poison in the blood which causes it. There are many elderly people wvho have never felt twinge of rheuma- tism, and many who hate conquered it by simply keeping their blood rich and pure. The blood snaking w:blood enriching' qualities of Dr. Williams Pink Pills is beco'rnfng` every year mare widely known, and it the more general use of these pills that has l robbed rheumatism of its terrors. At the first sign of poor brood, which is shown by loss of appetite, palpitations, , dull skin and dim eyes, protect your- self- against the further ravhg f disease by taking Dr. ,Williams' Pink' Pills. They have cured thousands . of.i people -if yon give them a fair trial they will not disappoint you. Ypu can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 1 'cents a box or six boxes for ,lp2.50from The Dr: Williams' Medicine Co., ,Brockville, Ont. • QUEER LAWSUITS. Strange Matters Which Come Before the Courts. A wounded Italian ,officer recently;, brought suit toobtain a decision. to the rightful ownership of a- bullet extracted from his body. Both don for and nurse claimed it, .but the ofi ser contended that it was legally: The judge gave 'his decision in fa- vor of the officer. He found that the projectile, once , discharged from the gun, ceased both to belong to the man who fired it dVd' ,to the country 'that intrustedit to him. The officer dis- covered it.in his body. The surgeon; assisted by the nurse, merely brought the projectile to light. Hence the of- ficer was entitled to keep it.
