ENCOUNTER Ferocious Cougar. » Though Taken by Sur- prise and Severely Wounded at the First, Proves too Mach for the Powerfal Beast. A few days ago Mr. H. P. Woodson, familiarly known all over the country as “Old Hank,” was brought into town to have a broken arm and several severe wounds looked after. He was indebted for these, he said, toan enormous cou- gar he had encountered the day before. Old Hank is a famous hunter, and is probably the best shot in the State, having subsisted for the past thirty years almost entirely on the game killed by himself. He was the first white man to take up his habitation in Tom Green County, and on first coming to this section built himself, some six miles from here, on the Middle Fork of the Concho, a small log hut, in which he is still residing. This hut is literally crowded with trophies of his skill, each of which has some interesting story connected with it. When it was learned that Old Hank was in town with a fresh adventure to relate, he soon had a large audience collected to hear it. The sturdy old hunter, who is nearing his sixtieth birthday, was found decorated with splints, bandages, anda yard or two of court plaster, but though one cheek had been laid open to the bone, places before, besides I didn’t want to think a pesky cougar was going to get the best of an old hunter like me, so I began to puzzle my brain for a way out of the scrape. I was lying on a lot of rocks that were digging into my back, and feeling them gave me an idea, I reached out and got the biggest, raggedest one I eould find, and knocked the cougar on the head with it till he let go. I waited till he opened his mouth to make another grab at me, when I pushed the rock down his gullet as hard as it could go, choking him so that I could raise up and draw my knife out of his thick hide. “Bite me? Yes, he tried to, and did tear my hand pretty bad, but I kept shoving the rock down his throat. With my knife I gave it to him again and again in the stomach and neck until he fell over kicking and choking till he died. I was crawling home when I met @ neighbor, who helped me to his house and then went back after the cougar’s zarcass, which he skinned for me. It's up at the cabin now, and any of you who want to see it will be welcome to come and have a sight of it. ButI'll tell you, boys, the critter that wore that skin gave me a pretty close shave with death.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. AN INQUISITIVE WOMAN. The Questions with Which She Plied a Traveler from the East. The fact that a woman has lived for twenty years almost wholly isolated from the civilized world may fairly be held to excuse some eagerness of curios- ity, and even some lack of politeness. A traveler found such a one on a mountain top of the far West, fifteen miles from the nearest town, and nearly a hundred COL. D. 5. WILLIAMSON, Ex-U. S.

The average distance from the faru: to the station may not be 10 miles. Suppose it to be half that distance, ox five miles. It is then to be said that the average haul by rail to mar ket is not 1800 miies, but less than half that distance. The conclusio remains that it costs fully as much: to haul the crop to the station as it does to haul it from the station to the market.

It is right and proper, of course to resist ex tortion where it is practiced by rail way and elevator companies, but the farmer should not permit himself to become so much absorbed in that business as to neglect the other bus iness, where there is an incompara bly better field for econemy.
