Out at Gezira, where aU Cairo has Its rendezvous »t the Sporting club »very afternoon in and out of season, fflere exist large colonies of kites and srows. No sooner are the tea tables laid out than the former, who have &een perched o<i the qui vive on the adjacent trees, start circling round and round. With a sudden dive one jf these hawklike birds will swoop down on the table he has chosen and pick off the bread and butter and sake. New arrivals in Egypt are always rery disconcerted by these antics. It matters not how many people are leated around the tables. The kite is ao respecter of persons and on one crowded afternoon last season, when the German crown princess was taking tea, I remember seeing no fewer ' than eight tables swept of their eat- j ables by as many kites in the space of. ' a few minutes. These monster birds add to the ter- ; ror which they strike to the heart of the new arrival by the fact that their : flight is so sudden and the theft is j committed without stopping. They de- I Scribe a curve, the lowest point of : which is the plate of bread and butter . or cake, and so accurate is their de- ' scent that rarely do they leave or drop i anything. An amusing factor in this | otherwise rather annoying situation Is furnished by the crows, who invari- J ably act as scouts for the kites, and 1 the presence of w'hcm, hopping about ; the grass, always precedes one of I these depredatory flights. When the coup has been successfully brought off the crows evince their pleasure by ear splitting caws, and proceed to follow the plunderer at a respectful distance, possibly in order to express their unbounded admiration in the vain hope of obtain- ■ Inga few crumbs. On the golf course the kites are a source of endless trou- j ble to the players—and incidentally one of great profit to the « golf ball venders—-for it is no unusual thing i for your ball to be whiffed off just as I you are making ready to put after a , • record approach.—Cairo Correspondence Fall Mall Gazette. The Stepmother in the Classics. The ancients were as bitter on the subject of the stepmother as any modern could be. Their metaphorical uses of these words for a stepmother are cruelly significant. Thus the Romans had an expression “to complain to a. stepmother” (noverca), meaning to complain in vain; and “novercae,” be- j ginning, no doubt, as slang, came to ! be a recognized term for rough pieces of land or for ditches which drained off the water imperfectly and slowly. The Greeks were as bad with their word, “metryix.” Hesiod spoke of lucky and unlucky days as “mother and stepmother days,” and Aeschylus brands a dangerous seacoast as “a stepmother to ships.” Old Joke Appropriately Quoted. Senator Sullivan of New York ®nce - put in a new form a joke as old as | medicine. The occasion was a ban- ■ 1 auet of homeopathic physicians. Dur- | mg the banquet the usual toasts were irunk. To the health of “the ladies,” jf “the president,” of “Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy,” and of a dozen other persons and subjects, flasses were drained duly, and then, ill of a sudden, the toastmaster remarked: “Senator Sullivan has not . been heard from. Senator Sullivan will now propose a health.” The senator Arose and beamed upon th£ assemblage of physicians. “I propose,” he said, “the health of the sick.” Libel on Stepmothers. One of London’s prominent medical men has “got himself disliked” by the stepmothers of all nations. The basis of his offending is his public assertion that “all stepmothers are instinctively cruel to stepchildren.” Such a statement is regarded, very justly, as in the nature of wholesale libel. In fact, every observing man and woman in the civilized world can recall plenty of instances proving the falsity of the doctor’s charge. This London libeler would find occasion for apology to the ftomen he maligns by reading the history of the boyhood of Abraham Lincoln and of the devotion of the stepmother of that great American. —Chicago Journal. Diogenes Again. Diogenes paused and shook the hand of the prominent citizemheartily. “Is he the honest man?” asked the Athenians. “S-h-h,” replied Diogenes in a whisper. “I have to humor him. He owns the oil trust.” Whereupon he made his way to the refinery and had his lantern filled free of charge.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Satisfactory Explanation.

A SERIOUS ERROR. ~ Many a case of Sidney disease has proven fatal because the symptoms were not recognized. If you suffer from backache or bladder irregular!-

ties, follow the advice of G. H. Tuttle, Rogers street, Broken Bow, Nebr. Says Mr. Tuttle:’ “I was confined to my homo for weeks, unable to walk more than ten feet at a time. The doctor said I had

gravel, and his treatment helped me temporarily, but soon the symptoms returned with greater severity than before. Being urged, I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and received almost Instant relief. In a few weeks’ time I was completely cured.” “When Your Back Is Lame, Remember the Name —DOAN’S.” 50c. a box at all stores. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

ERUPTION COVERED BODY “Three years ago this winter I had a breaking out that covered my whole body. It itched so it seemed as if I I i should go crazy. It first came out in | I little pimples on my back and spread ■ ' till it covered my whole body and j ■ limbs down to my knees, also my arms down to my elbows. Where I scratched it made sores, and the terrible itching and' burning kept me i from sleeping. I tried several reme- ; dies all to no purpose. Then I con- ; eluded to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, also the Resolvent, for about four months, and they com- I | pletely cured me of eczema. I have ' had no return of the disease since. I never had a good night’s rest after the skin eruption first broke out till I com- ; menced using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had only used them a few days before I could see they were i beginning to heal, and the terrible Itching was gone. “Those that lived in the house at the time know how I suffered, and | j how ihe Cuticura Soap and Ointment i cured me.- I never take a bath with- . out using the Cuticura Soap, and I i I do not believe there are better rem- ' I edies for any skin disease than the | Cuticura Soap and Ointment.” (Signed) ’ Miss Sarah Calkins, Waukegan, 11lMar. 16, 1911.

Scared Out. The guides had a pretty story to tell as often as they were asked why the cliffs gave back no sound. A beautiful Echo (so the story ran) formerly dwelt in the valley, and had great fun mocking people who, chancing that way, in any manner broke the sylvan silence. But once upon a time a party of smart women, prompted by the guides knew not what caprice, sat down in the immediate neighborhood to enjoy a game of progressive whist. “Gee, I give it up!” cried the Echo thereupon, and in consternation fled the place, nevermore to return. —Puck.

We left Del Rio on the morning of ~ the 28th of November and passed over into Mexico through the little town of Las Vacas where we had to go through a rigid examination, such as paying duty on merchandise, ammunition and bonding our horses and outfit. We passed. San Lorenza about 12 miles out from Las Vacas, this place being the headquarters ranch for the pastures which contain the cattle of Gen. Lorenza Gonzales Trevenlo. This place is stocked mostly with well-bred steers which come up to the standard along with our American cattle. After traveling about 15 miles and still in this pasture we stopped and “nooned it” as grass was fine and our horses certainly relished the feed. Bob, Louis and Myself were riding horseback and of course this made the trip more enjoyable as we could skirmish alongside of the road and hunt and in this manner we kept the outfit well supplied with game while on the move. That day we nooned at Tienete Lake, where we killed several ducks, but did not tarry long enough to have them for dinner. After a good dinner we felt much better, so were up and away as we wanted to get to the mountains where game was plentiful. That evening we arrived at Sorro or Fox Creek where we

found excellent water, but encountered one of the ’■worst gravel beds about 500 yards across, and in | crossing this we had to assist the chuck wagon ! over. Up bright and early next morning and away in ! a rush as the mountains were our goal. During ■ this day in the forenoon nothing of any importance i happened, but long about sundown business be- | gan to pick up. We had just arrived at the i Baballcs (Horse Creek) and watered our horses I and intended going beyond about three miles I where grass was good. Just after we crossed this creek I left the wagon and rode out alongside at a distance of about one-half mile. In doing this I was in hopes of finding a deer as the range was fine and prospects good. To my surprise I found something better than a deer, a big black bear. I was about 500 yards from the wagon and upon arriving at the top of a nice smooth knoll I noticed Mr. Bruin and he spied me about the same time. The country was rolling and I was riding an excellent horse, so you can imagine my feelings, as I was confident of having some genuine sport. I tightened up my saddle and looked for my rope, but had left it in the wagon. Without a moment's hesitation I reached for my rifle. Then the race began. This bear was not very fat, and of course could put up a fast race, He made for the side of a nehrby hill and it was iny intention to head him 9ft to keep him from entering a cave. Giving my horse full rein and extra hard spur thrust I was able to turn Mr. Bear and by doing this I got him started across a somewhat level place. Riding alongside at a distance of about 150 feet I took my first shot, hitting him in the fleshy part of the hind leg, but this seemed -only to make Bruin run the faster. Seeing I would have to do better than tk'is I tried to get closer, but could not 1 make it. Taking three more shots I still missed as I was running my horse at full speed and qould not hit the mark as readily as if I wan standing. At the next shot I was within about 20 feet of ! the bear and this shot took- effect. Just as the bullet hit the bear he wheeled and made direct towards my horse, catching him by the tail. Now, good reader, this may not seem scary, but try it , one time and see how your blood circulates. Mine 1 nearly pushed my hair oft my head. If I had not f been riding a good horse it would have been serious sure enough. My horse realized the position he was in and I had to ride to keep my seat as there was some high jumping and quick work done which all happened in a few minutes. After j the bear tore loose from the horse’s tail he stumbled over to one side and stood there with his head down, badly wounded. One more shot finB ished him and I w’as somewhat glad of it as my blood was pumping wildly and neded a rest after

such strenuous exercise. This took in all about 20 minutes of as fine sport as I have ever had. Was “something out of the ordinary and a little differ-

ent” and that’i what we all want. Bob being nearby came to my assistance and we both placed the bear on my horse aud carried it over to the camp where we skinned the pelt. That evening we camped at El Remado, where the coyotes were very plentiful, but we did not stop early enough to place our traps. e had five well-trained hounds on this trip. Ihe next morning Louis killed a fine specimen of a coyote, large, with fine fur and nice color. That Xvening we entered “Cibolo” (Buffalo) canyon, which to start with was quit shy of water. Just at the entrance ’tis awfully rough and very slow going, so rather than to take chances of a break-down we decided to wait till morning and then get an early start so we could make it through this pass in one day. That day we hunted both sides of the road for “tenaho” or pot holes which most generally contain water if one can find one where the cattle cannot reach? Luck was with us as we found one of these “pots” near the road which had sufficient water to water all the horses. The balance of the distance we had to assist the wag* on by the aid of the “saddle horses” on account of bad roads and the grade was continually going higher. That morning Louis killed a deer and the same evening I killed a big black tall buck, very fat and a fine specimen. We only made about ten miles that day but were up early next morning so as to reach the water hole as the water question was something serious and we had to arrange our traveling accordingly. We passed through a grassy strip of about five miles where grass was fine and green. These grass strips seemed to be all through these mountains. I suppose the rains must have fallen in streaks. We reached the water hole and watered the teams and filled kegs. After a consultation we decided to return to the grass to rest the horses and above all try and get some black-tail deer- We reached this grass about noon as it was only about three miles from the watering place. That evening we did not find the deer as expected but were still in good spirits as our horses were doing nicely on the green grass. After deciding to go further into the mountains as the Cerro Colorado (Red Mountain) was our destination, we went back to the water-hole. Bob, Louis and I rode on ahead of the wagon and on the way over there noticed where a panther had followed down the trail to the water-hole. We went on down to the water and loitered the dogs and then turned them loose on the panther’s trail, as we were anxious for a chase and we had it from the very start. The old dog “Remus” led off followed by the other four; and. let me tell you, gentle reader, we had to do some riding so as to keep in touch with them. The; going was and on several oo-

■■■ -R casions we had to walk and lead our horses so as j J to pass over some of the s roughest places. The dogs finally stopped our pan- ! ; ther and as I was ahead I s located him first sitting on , a Yock upon the side of a • big bluff, so, taking no ! 1 chances as to his getting away, I let go Fat him,' striking him in the stomach. This shot knocked him off the rock but did not kill him. He rolled; down among the dogs and business was good tor a few minutes, but Mr. Panther was getting weak and could not hold out any longer, so turned in his checks. We measured him to be 8 feet 2 Inches from tip to tip.' Good size, don’t you think ? Next morning Bob killed two fine bucks and I killed one. Louis and myself started up to top of the mountain, which only looked ta be about a mile distant, but we were four hours gaing to the top. Here we had some great sport shooting black-tail deer, as they were plentiful and one could get such good long range shots, ! which were the kind we wanted as they afforded the greater sport. Killing deer ‘in this way was too easy, as they were plentiful and could be had most any time. On the top and sides of these mountains one finds juniper trees covered with berries, white and red oak, two kinds of cedar and scrub oak or “shin- ! ery,” besides numerous other trees. Wild pears seem to thrive there also. All the deer killed on t-hese mountains were fat and as fine flavored meat as one could wish. After wandering around over these mountains till i about 3 p. m. we decided I to return to camp. We I reached camp about 7 that | i

Next dav nothing of any interest and after deciding to move over to a nearby canyon we broke camp and’rode about two miles further wherewood was plentiful and where we could find large trees so we could hang the deer, as we wanted to cure the meat. Returning to camp next morning I found some more good news as Louis had located a bear on top of "Cerro Colorado” and had shot at him. but being so far away did not hit him This was what we wanted —a bear chase witn the dogs. So back to camp came Louis and after a consultation we decided to wait till morning before starting after the bear. The next morning we were away before daylight, Bob and Louis going horseback and leading the dogs while I went afoot up through another banyon and we were to meet at the top at a designated place. I was about half a mile across a canyon, Louis at another point. Bob at another and Henry, the cook, could not stand the temptation so he had to follow, and was placed at another entrance, pur ing this time the dogs were hot on the traibrnakIng good time, and if you have never been in such a suspense as this just try getting on a nrominent point overlooking the entrance to several Ismail canyons and in hearing of a good pack of hoVnds —if you have any sporting blood in your will surely come forth and make you feel for the time being that you are “lord of all you survey." Things had begun to get interesting now as the dogs were getting nearer all the time and each of us expecting the bear to come down through the canyon where we were. Presently Louis heard something that sounded like the exhaust of an automobile, and he knew, just the moment he heard it. that It was the bear breathing, and a fat bear makes an artful breathing noise when tired and hot. Louis made a run over to a small point, as he knew the bear would come in through a small cut, because he could hear the rocks rolling off 'the side of the hill which was caused by the bear coming down in such haste. When being pursued by a pack of dogs and in close quarters a bear will not run down hill bitt Just puts his head down and forms himself in the shape of a ball and rolls down hill. Rocks half the size of a barrel were falling down these bluffs. Louis rounded the point just in time to intercept Bruin and at a distance of about 30 feet let drive at him with his .30-30, hitting him in the heart. This did not stop him as he rolled and fell along for some 50 feet before stopping. Another shot brought him to a halt. About this time the dogs began to arrive and were pretty much all in, as a run of 6 or 7 miles through so rough a country will tire out the best of them. So back to the horses (a distance of about a mile) we started and after partaking of a lunch and a few minutes rest we were off to bring in the three' deer and the bear to camp, as fit was getting along aumit 2 p. m. and we did not want to get caught up in the mountains after dark.
