For when a lynx is m-dened by hunger, he fears neither rca nor beast, and most of the animate o the forest give him the road withou waiting for him to ask for it. In C;n ada and even in the northern row oi states of this nation the lynxes grow to be much larger than they do here, in the warmer climate of'the southwt st. There, too, they are hunted for their fur, but here that fur Is worthless, and, tave for those klled by an occasional nunter, the lynxes hold undisputed sway iu the foothills. The trouble is that the rasca'.s do not stay in the foothills, but wander all over wbe:evtr their fancy Baud s chicken, for that is their special delight, and they terrorize outlying poultry farriers accordingly. They never make the mistake that the fabled fox did of getting into a hole through which they cannot return with a fat hen or a young turkey. In the low lands they stay around the thick willow groves, never venturing far by daylight, but never forgetting the way to an unguarded chicken coop by night During the day they sleep In thick grass or weeds, or sometimes curled up like a kitten on a broad limb. No matter how soundly they may be sleeping you can never "catch one napping," for at the slightest sound of your approach he wl l clear the ten or fifteen feet between his nest and the ground and be off like a 'flash in the undergrowth. About the only way to get these fellows is with hounds, and then generally one or two of the dogs get pretty severely chewed ci Dowr "I am a construction engineer and tell steel suspension bridges,"- said the object of the inquiry.

The hardware man had sold any quantity of nails and pocket knives, he drygoods man had placed large orders for bolts of calico and notions, the grocery man had taken orders for aany consignments of canned goods and other eatables, and, In short, all of tbem were telling of the success they had met with In the various branches of their trade. . . But not one word spake Mr. Mather. Finally one of the knights of the crip noticed his reticence and wondering at It, said: "How did yon come out during the ay. Mather?" "I didn't place an order," was the reply, and to the question as to his record for the week the same answer was given. Marveling, tome one of the group asked: "Has there been much doing in you Kne the last month V "I havn't placed an order in six months," was the cool reply.
