Cld Trick cf Jumping at Attacking Animal and Veiling Lcudly Make# It Turn Caward and Fisc Like Cur lata Forest. G<vr icta, p*.—Notwithstand.es tfce .ieclaraticn cf the-state game authori ties that the panther ts extinct in Pennsylvania, the experience of FYed crick Mahl, .an old hipster, butcher and woodsman, one night roc. n;iy indicates that the Kettle creek region ct Potter county has ;n it at least one of the dreaded animals. Mahl is 73 years cf age. and when : he came Into Potter county r.s a boy of seven with his parents, panthers were so common that Mahl Is regard- ! ed as an authority on the "varmints,” ' henco his arncunceraent that he was overtaken by a real "painter** has aroused the keenest interest. Mahl had spent the day overseeing a heg butchering at a farmer's several miles down the Coudersport pike, and at eight o’clock thet evening, v. hen he started home, the farmer's wife fixed a generous basket of savory panhaus. spare ribs and flitch, the smell of which doubtless permeated the night air as he trudged over the frozen road. Because of the almost unprecedent ed season of deep snow that has pre vailed since before Christmas, all sorts of animals have been driven to hard straits for food, and wildcats, catamounts, foxes and skunks have been seen nightly along the beaten paths. But when a shriek almost as plaintive as that of a woman in dis tress rent ihe air within a rod of him Mahl felt a cold shiver trickle down his backbone. He stopped, listened, then called loudly, lest the sound might have been made by a human being. But there was r.o reply, except the sound of the breaking of twigs la the hushes by the i roadside, and then a dead silence. Mr.hi started *s fast as he could , walk, and hud gone a hslf mile or more ; when an awful scream, half-demonl seai. half-sad, was ottered, this time slightly behind bim. hut still from the thicket. This weU-knoww trait of the panther of nagging his intended vie- ’ ti'-'j for miles before making the at tack was tally appreciated by Mahl, sad the fact that he yet hud a fall mile of woods to traverse before! emerging at the v Iff- of his own fields . reused no little fear of what might happen. While he stood in the middle of the road endeavoring to catch a glimpse o.' the animal, the latter suddenly emerged, not a half-rod away, and stalked cut into the road, where it i stood. Mahl's fighting blood was up. He j put his old "stunt" to the test, jumped toward the boast as though to attack, i Worry of Rattlesnake Bill While Confined in New Jersey County Jail Fears Reptiles Wilt Do Damage. Belvidere, X. J.—"Rattlesnake Bill.** the Sussex county (N. J.) exile, who is languishing in jail here, doing pen ance for annexing other people’s chick ens. fears for the safety of his native county. He is convinced that if he is not released by early spring and. fur ther than that, allowed to frequent his old haunts in the mountains of Sus sex, the rattlesnakes will again over run the county, and the fanners will l>o driven away, to their loss and to the detriment of the general county welfare. Rattlesnake Bill’’ has better claim to his title than many a ’’colonel” who all but wears the epaulets. ’'Bill's” real name Is William H. Van Horn, but he is better known as "Rattlesnake Bill," for he is the greatest hunter of rattlesnakes the countryside ever knew. He has done more than any other one man ever did to rid the landscape of the diamond backed deni sens, and yet, as he puts it. “They haven’t any use for me, just because I happened to take a few chicks that nobody wanted.” He confided his fears as to the rat tlesnake situation to a friend who called on him the other ddy. “You know,” remarked “Bill” confi dentially, "there isn’t a man In the county now who knows how to fight the rattlers, and they certainly will run the farmers oft the land if they don't get me back there soon.” ’’BUI ’ made good pocket money for years selling the snake hides and oils. Bear “Meat” Comes to Life -■ - ■ - . . . _ 3ru<rt Not Dead Enough, However, to Be Analyzed for Germs with Real Impunity. Seattle. Wash.— Dr. P. R. Smith, city meat inspector. Is the hero of the latest bear story and according to the popular version of the tale the doctor has cut a now notch In the world’s sprinting record Dr. Smith mot the bear, which so ably supported him in the leading role. In the heart of Seattle instead of the deep woods, as is usual in bear stories, and the meat inspector was called to pass on bruin In his official capacity when the adventure occurred. During the summer a line black hear w»s kept on exhibition at Luna Hark for the edification of the gaping crowds. Some shrewd speculator, no ting the approach of the bear season and observing that a steady diet of etutdy. peanuts and popcorn had fat tened bruin to a nicety, decided It was time to spring hear meat on the market, and the victim was according ly escorted to a slaughter house. After Dr. Smith had pronounced the live bear a good looking specimen, one of the official k.tiers produced a large-sized revolver and fired a shot Into the beast where he thought It would do the most good. The bear rolled over In his cage and stretched himself out with paws In the nlr. The cage door was then opened and the bear was dragged out . by his feet to a room where it was proposed to dress him. While the meat inspector was busy examining the bear for germs, seme one suggested that befoiv be was ««v up It would be a good Idea to make sure the bear was dead by knocking him in the head. A husky attendant procured a mallet and brought it down with a smart rap. That made the bear mad. In less time than it takes to tell it he was on his feet aad making direct for the meat in spector (Dr. Smith s version!. At the tar end of the room stood a tali step ladder. Toward the ladder Dr. Smith started, with the bear a close second According to the medical man s sworn statement only the Intervention of a -«oap box over which the bear stum bled saved him from utter annihila tion. Or- Smith states that after this he will climb the ladder first before per mining the bear kilting to go forward. He shneders every time he passes the beast's hide hung up in front of a First avenue meat market. Anti-Goes Ip Club.

Tito trick worked. The boast was so frightened by the sadden tarn in a.f-tirs that it bounded up an embankment and Mahl heard nothing atcre of it. Next day an examination of ths snow was made and tracks almost as large as those of a bear were found. They were followed nearly a mile until they turned into the deep ravine and out u' ort the smooth lee of Kettle creek and no longer were discernible. Mahl is certain that the "varmint" was a panther. It would take a mon ster catamount to have made such big tracks, and catamounts are not known to cry when following their intended prey. An .«» Tart will be made to find and kill the big beast, whatever it may be. Suticr.s Out of Cheese $20 Apiece.

Unique Test cf Seed Coro. Reside® testing cor.) to see if It will grow and warning farmers of the roor condition of seed turn this ''car. the Commercial club of Omaha i'as made a test which shows the re sult of freezing corn which contains t gtw>J deal of moisture. The result shows that even some of the corn standing tn the fields, supposed to oo the best seed tWb Xebr-tsk* has this year, may be worthless for seed. Ten ears of corn were selected which were shown by tests to be strong. Rvery kernel tested had good sprouts and a strong root sys tem. A government expert at the Omaha grain exchange tested them to learn the moisture. It was less than 16 per cent. Then these ten good ears were soaked for various lengths of time tnd after the water dried into the 'orn they were again tested to find Mt how much moisture they ron .ained. Those soaked five horns had 22 per cent; six hours 27 per cent, and eight hours 30 per cent. All were put in a refrigerating plant where the air was 12 degres above sero. After 76 hours' ex]H>snro the torn was again tested. The ears of one lundred kernels from which had 22 per cent moisture, only 28 germin ated; while but 26 kernels in one nndred from the ears with 27 per 'ent moisture showed signs of life tnd but 21 grains in one hundred .aken from the ears containing 31 per cent moisture sprouted. This test shows that corn contain ing more than 22 per cent moisture .'annot stand freezing for even a short time without kiltiug a large percentage of the kernels and mak ing the ears worthless for seed. . -— Additional Vacation Granted.
