An adventure wl a panther is re lated in the Madras Times by the Rev. Father Bartley, who a short while ago was on a visit to an Indian priest at Patlala In a placo near a rocky jungle. The ndlan priest was away on a visit to a sick person and Father Bartley went, to Sleep in me vuraiiuau. ii. about midnight ho was wakened by feeling something licking his feet wlih a great rough tongue. He started up ln bed and was horrified to seo that a huge beast had put its forepaws on his bed and was glaring into his oyi 3. Father Bartley got out of his bed and ran towards the outhouses and called for help. As there was no response ho went Into the open, gripping a rug und holding it between himself and the beast, which was snarling at him and began to walk round and round him in a wide circle. At last Father Bartley backed toward the railway line. He was caught by tho ankle by a wire and foil flat upon his back. The beast sprang through the air and alighted a couple of yards away. Theru was a red light close by and possibly its gleaming eyes gave tho beast a fright, as it turned round with a snarl and suddenly ran away and disap peared into the darkness of tho night. The next morning tho Indian priest told Father Bartley that tho panther was a tame one and belonged to a railway auditor, and that it must have got loose that night. Tennyson's Love for America Tennyson had somo .warm friends among Americans, and he onco spoke of tho Constitution of the United States as a noble constitution. In 1S87 Walt Whitman sent Tennyson his photograph, and in acknowledg ing It Tennyoon wroto: "Dear Walt Whitman I thank you for your kind thought of me. I value the photograph much, and I wish that I could see not only this same picture, excellent as I am told it is, but also tho living orig- Inal. May he still live and flourish f0r many years to be.

Especially I would note the care taken to guard a noble Constitution from rash and unwise innovators." " Whiskers Killed Her Love.

"" STILL tHE LA'ND OF QoCb Callforltla'o Output of ihe Precious Metal So Far Shows Little Sign of Prophesied Diminution. Careful estimates placo tho Cali fornia gold output for 1915 at fully $2,200,000 moro than tho provlous year, when tho total output was $20, 653,100. Tho yield will easily bo tho largest In 32 years, and, with ono ox- coptlon, tho largest ln 51 years. So , California still remains tho premier I koiu-prouucing sinie in mo union. Pioccr mining for gold, for years con- mQrcA a dccadont ,ndUBtry ln CaH. fornla, has for tho past 18 years been growing In importance, until now tho placer mines are producing 41 per cent of tho total gold yield, tho other 5C per cent coming from deep mines. "V " V-"- -"""& ThIg condlUon lm3 becn cntlrciy brought about by the dredging opera tions, the gold dredges now producing somo 8G per cent of tho placer gold. I Tho present tendency Is toward oxten- ' sivo yardage in dredging operations, i so the now machines aro much larger ' and more powerful than those built formerly. It Is considered probable that for this reason tho yield of dredge-gold in California will contlnuo , about tho same for somo years, even though the old and smaller machines discontinue operations. A gold dredg er is now being built to dig 70 feet ; below the water line. There was a i distinct revival in all kinds of metal ' mining In tho state In 1015, particular ly in gold mining. The dredgemen have begun operations on tracts for merly considered too small for this class of work; and numerous quartz mines were reopened, while the older ones were deepened with good results. ALL BIRDS FLEE FOREST Argonne, Where French and Germane Are In Conflict, Deserted by Their Natural Inhabitants. When the history of tho present Eu ropean war is written, the forest of Argonne will be recorded as the place where more blood was shed than In any other spot on tho wide fields of conflcL ThJ Frcnch mad(J a 8tand there on the first German drive to wards Paris, and, later, when tho Germans were forced back, it was tho scene of weeks and months of desper ate struggle. Not a bird is left In the forest and practically every tree, which remains standing, bears the mark of battle. It was swept by artillery fire time after time, and was the scene of desperate hand-to-hand fighting. But it was not tho first time, for in tho campaign preceding the battle of Sedan, in the Franco-German war of 1S70, it was the scene of many san guinary struggles. tTho forest covers a number of "wooded heights, S00 or 900 feet high, in the northeastern p.wt of Franco in French Lorraine and Champagne. It is about thirty miles long, and from ono to eight miles wide. It is bounded by tho sources of the Aisne, runs along that river to the Meuse and northward to Chene-Populeux, separating a stretch of fertile plains from the bar ren stoppes between Vitry and Se zanne. Old Waterbury Watch Recalled. Tho fakers are selling a new toy It's a fako watch winder a cog with a ratchet that makes a loud click. Tho Idea is to tako out your watch and at tempt to wind it, at the same time working tho toy which is concealed in tho palm of tho hand. Tho noise it makes sounds like tho winding of a town clock. "For the love of Mike," oxclalmed an ex-puddler, now a broker, who was attracted by tho noise a man was making while winding his time piece, "what kind of a turnip havo you thero anyway? That sound reminds mo of a rattling of tho pinions on a set of muck mill rolls." The stranger showed the toy and tho former Pitts burgher said the drinks were on him. Couldn't Trust Grandson. Maude Fulton, the clover actress, has a fund of anecdotes, and here's ono of tho best among them: "She had stopped, panting, by tho road to rest. It was the shell road in Pass Christian, and sho was black. Beside her was a heavy market bas ket filled to overflowing. A passerby smiled and sho responded with a full and freo confidence 'Yass'm, I Is Bomo tlahed. An' lame. All painful wld miseries. Yass'm I coulda dono son' someone else to mahket fo' mo.

MAN IN THE STARCHED BOSOM Writer Cleverly Points Out How Ap pearances May Be, as They Usu ally Are, Deceptive. By a "man" ono probably means a fallible mortal, a bluffer, a hypo crite, an Insecure and inexperienced adventurer, a child born nuked into the world every morning of his life. Reunited to one's institution, one's tn fallibility speedily returns, and It is convenient to havo it. But it does disguise the limitations that a person knows within himself. At the begin ning of a man's life, beforo ho is taken up into an institution, ho is aware of all this. But after ho dons a uniform of authority the luxury of candor Is denied. Conformity Is perhaps needed for a smoothly-running world, and by striving to articulate tho machinery an approximation to candor may bo made. It may even be hotter to havo the ma chinery in the end, better for truth, than to allow tho impulsive will its way. But there aro times when one would llko everyone, especially tlio young, to know tho immense decep tions of the wholo claborato contriv ance. Under tho starched bosom of tho world there Is a beart very dif ferent from tho heart that tho bosom advertises. Wo know it, but the man who speaks it is a traitor to tho prin cipalities of starch.

"Think of it as a great many hooks scattered about the city, and don't consider it merely a build ing," he says. This Is good advice, well expressed. But a small percent age of us appreciate iho library or tako advantage of its opportunities. A stranger In a city who has not ac cess to clubs finds two places always open to him tho public library and the saloons. If he Is the right kind of man he seeks out tho former. He gets education and recreation thero. To seo the hundreds assembled in tho reading ' rooms of a public library in ono of tho large cities of tho West where there aro many transients is an education In the uso of the library. It can bo made just as useful to a man at home. Don't look upon it ns a mere placo with four walls outside and furnish ings inside.

Philadel phia Public Ledger. Earliest Coal Mining in Alabama. The earliest known record of tho existence of coal in Alabama wbb made in 1S34, but tho first statement of production in tho state is contained in tho United States census report for 1840, in which tho amount mined is given as 946 tons. Tho mines of Ala bama wero probably worked to a con siderable extent during tho Civil war, but there aro no specific records until 1870, for which tho United States cen rus reports a production of 11,000 tons. The development of the present great Industry really began ln 1881 and 1SS2, when attention was directed to tho largo iron doposits near tho city of Birmingham. By 1885 tho coal pro duction of tho Btato had increased to nearly 2,500,000 tons. In 1914, accord ing to tho United States Geological survey, tho production was 15,593,422 tons.
