BELL PIANOS

THE QUEEN'S. ' Toronzo, Feby. 22nd, To Wuow 17 May Concern:

In connection with my visit to Canada as Pianist to Medame Albani, I have ‘had occasion to observe various mukes of pianos, and have been much impressed with ths advances which are being mave in tne art ot piano construc- tion in this young and flourishing courtry, One of the most recent instruments to arrest my attention—and I mgat sav one of the best—is the well known “Beil” Piano. its tone is admirable throughout, and the touch firm and 3 espomsive — just what we musicians like—in fact, an. excellent piano in every respect. The new Orchestral "Attachment (which I understand can be obtained on “Bell” pianos only) is also an excellent feature, and one which will doubtless excite int est with all classes. I do not hesitate to sav that I Biases the “Bell” panroa good, honest instrument, and so reco mend it to any intending purchaser.

LASSULNG A PAN TH ER

HOW A HUNTING PARTY IN TEXAS FOUND A QUEER PET.

A Ferocious Animal Captured In Cowboy Fashion—How 2 Daring Negro Got One of the Cubs—The Mother and Her Chil- dren In Captivity.

Those who conclude that there are no ferocious or dangerous wild animals in the mountains of western vane wceuld experience a very sudden chang of sentiment if they should meet a a | panther face to face in some lonely can-

you. The magnificent animal now chained in front of our wagous is called by some a Mexican or mountain lion

and by others a panther. She is of a dull yellowish color and will weigh nore than four or five ordinary leop-

drds. ‘be measures just 1! feet from the tip of her nose to the end of ber long tail.

Although she has been in captivity only a few days she is astonishingly doc- ile so long as she can see ber two cubs that are chained under the wagons. The moment they set up a whine she springs to ber feet, all her hair turns the wrong way, and while her eyes look like glow- ing coals of fire ske gnashes her sharp white fangs and tries, the strength of her chain. If it were not strong enough to hold an ox, I should prefer that there were two or three counties between us just at that particular moment. The cubs aro already as geutile as lambs and as playfcl as kittens, and nothing pleases them better than tocrawl under our blankets at night and cuddle up close to us to escape the chilly northers.

We captured her in the mountains of the Deal! river in western Texas, and I doubt if a more daring feat was ever accomplished by a crowd of hunters. Game of all kinds is very abundant in this region, and the, boys had tired of shooting deer, antelopes and turkeys. Several big wolves and two or three panthers had been slaughtered, and it was evident from the uumerous tracks about the water holes that there were plenty more of them in the mountains. One evening the hounds struck a hot trail and ran a big panther into a cave on the side of a mountain.

daring young men, Petmaker and Black, declared that they intended to hang a noose over the mouth of the animal’s den on the next day and capture her alive. Both are Texas reared boys and experienced hunters. The proposition met with unanimous approval, and all volunteered to assist in the desperate undertaking. The next day as we rode out of camp some of the boys grew bolder, and two of them, who were ex- | pert vaqueros, declared that they in- tended to rope the beast if they could get close enough to her. These two—

George Black of Austin—rode toward the den, and the other members of the party and negro Jim, who had charge of the hounds, started to beat up the valley.

We had gone but a short distance be- fore the dogs struck a hot trail and ran with yelps which indicated that they were close to the animal.

Petmaker and Black heard them coming and reined in their ponies on the edge of a little opening and unslung their rawhide ropes from the horns of their saddles. The big animal sprang out of the brush and stopped within 20 feet of Petmaker. The cowboy’s lariat flashed through the air and landed right around the wild animal’s neck.

The instant it touched her she screamed like a terror stricken woman and, leaping high in the air and gnashing her teeth, began to decrease the space between her and the daredevil at the other end of the rope. Black, who was too far away to co-operate with his comrade at first, was now on the field, and with lucky precision he hurled a second noose over the animal’s head. Both wheeled their ponies, and the trained animals made a leap in opposite directions. The ropes were drawn taut, and the big monster was choked to the earth.

While she was rolling on the grass and clawing at the noose another expert with the rope galloped and caught one of her hind feet. They could now easily hold her at a safe distence from each other, and after much excitement and many rather dangerous stratagems they succeeded in dragging her to a good camping place not far away. Since at that stage of her captivity we could not move her to the wagons, we moved the Wagons to her, and, putting a stout chain arcund her neck, we made her fast to a tree.

Some of the hounds were set baying at the cave, and one of the boys and the negro Jim went over there to call them off. An old dog ran into the den and came out yelping with a young jaguar about the size of a house cat hanging to his hide. They captured the cub, and then the negro crawled into the den and brought out another—a thing that I would not have done for a deed to Texas.

The cubs coon made friends with us and were ready to eat from eur hands or crawl upon our knees in a few days. When the mother saw ber children in captivity, sie set up an awful roar, but when they wore put down by her side she seemed to be very grateful and soon afterward made a hearty meal off a large piece of venison that was thrown to her. frer a few days she seemed to become perfectly reconciled to the new order of thincs and is now on the look- out for something to eat. Negro Jim pats her on the back and leads her about like a lamb. ‘The bounds have made friende with her, and nothing pleases her better than for our bird dog to play with her. She could easily throttle the , largest bull on the plains and toss a man about as a cat does a mouse. We have named her Miss Vixen.—Cor. St. Louis Republic.
