PUMA SHOWS ITS GRATITUDE.
Big Cat Amazes Its Keeper by an Ex-
iiiuiiitiii ui x- neniitjiiii).
Keeper Mullen Is constantly exposed
to the wilil beasts In the zoo In giving
them their food and In cleaning their
cages. Last week he was engaged in
the pleasant occupation of brightening
the outside apartment of a large puma'
For reasons of his own he has always
been in the habit of permitting the ani
mals to roam in the Inside cage while
he cleaned the outside one. ,But this
time he somehow forgot to lock -the
door, and the puma walked out upon
him.
There was a brief pause, during which
time Mr. Mullen hastily reviewed his
past life. The puma stood in the door
way blinking at the light and blocking
up the only means of escape. All around I
were the hard Iron bars of the cage. I
The puma, waving Its long catlike tall,'
slowly approached, and Mr. Mullen
brought his broom to a position which
In army parlance Is known as charge
bayonets. Great was the keeper's sur-i
prise when the fierce animal meekly j
rubbed its sleek sides against the trem-
bling leg, very much after the manner
of a large cat. It exhibited signs of
recognition and pleasure and began ;
purring louuiy.
Mullen cou'.d scarcely believe his eyes.
He fancied the animal was only sham
ming and biding his time, and' expect
ed every moment to feel its sharp range
In his leg. Not to bo outdone by the
animal, he began blufling, too. nctlng as
if it were the most natural thing In the
world that he should be patting the
puma's head. He tried to make the
animal feel how much he was enjoying
It, and the result was that they were
soon romping on the ground together
like two friendly children.
This is the explanation of It: Keeper
Mullen had removed a tumor from the
side of the puma.. The operation was
performed by the aid of catgut and took I
some time. The puma suffered a great '
deal with It and seemed relieved when ;
It was over. j
It has shown great affection for its
keeper ever since, permitting him to
pat its head between the bars, but not
unlil he accidentally found himself in
the same inclosure with It did the keeper
believe that he could ever enter its cage
and come out unscathed.
Keeper Mullen naturally attributes
the display of affection to the.operation
which he performed, and he says that
hereafter he will not be afraid to enter
the puma's cage any time he may see
fit. He knows that hereafter they will
be good friends. Philadelphia Times.

King Alfonso's Spirit of Fun.
The young King of Spain seems to
have . Inherited his mother's cheerful
temperament and to have a spirit of
fun which even aud this is saying
much Spanish etiquette cannot
quench. The following story Is being
told of his majesty: The little king
had been reading out to his tutor a
sentence In the words, "She possessed
In the highest degree the distinguished
manner of grace and speech Inherent
In princesses," and to his tutor's
amazement remarked: "That writer
didn't know much about courts."
"Why do you say that, sir?"
"Well, look at that pair of prin
cesses." One of his royal sisters, evidently
dreadfully hot and sleepy, was sprawl
ing over her desk In a very degnge at
titude, while the other, apparently un
able to solve a dillicult problem, was
absently rubbing her eyes and looking
dazed meanwhile. His majesty tugged
the hair of one nuS pinched the arm
of another princess, evoking some
very strong and familiar terms of sis
terly reprobation.
"There are distinguished manners
and grace of speech for you!" he ex
claimed, regarding triumphantly the
tutor!" London Chronicle.
Europe' Princes and Prlncesara.
A statistician has recorded the pain
ful fact that there are 71 marriageable

inust either contract morganatic mar
riages or become St Catherines.

Canton possesses the queerest street
in the world, in spite of the fact that
in nearly all the big towns in China
there are some remarkable streets. . The
chief thing of interest attaching to this
eccentrio thoroughfars is the fact that
it is roofed in with glazed paper fast
ened on bamboo and contains more
signboards to the square foot than any
other street in any other country. The
next interesting fact about this Can
ton byway is that, though a business
street, it contains no other shops but
those of apothecaries and dentists' par
lors; no professional men but doctors.
It is a sick man's paradise and a Chi
nese physician's Klondike. They call
it Thysic street, which is descriptive if
not picturesque.
Under Two Flags.
"What a grand picture it must have
been," remarked the boarder who had
seen Dewey, "to have seen the Olympia
steaming home, the stars and stripes
on one mast and the homeward pen
nant on the other."
"Magnificent!" echoed the man in
black suspenders, "but think what a
picture it would have been to have seen
the stars and stripes on one mast and
the baseball pennant on the other."

Fifty Tears s Pensioner.
A typical instance of the effect of a
pension on longevity comes from Lu
ton, where the death has occurred of a
man in his 80th year, who enjoyed for
over half a century an unnuafallow
ance from the war offico. He was born
in 1818, in Canada, where his father
was a soldier, and at the age of 8 be
came a drummer boy, subsequently
blossoming into a full-blown private
of a foot regiment. He never did any
fighting, and retired at the age of 80,
with a pension, on account of ill
health. A few years later he joined
the Bedford constabulary, and attained
to the rank of sergeant, subsequently
becoming an instructor of fife-and-drum
bands, and holding the post of drum
major in the Luton volunteers.
