ROPING A COUGAR. 
I went out recently for a beef steer and fol¬ 
lowed a course up Cougar Canon. What did I 
find but a lion track in the snow, the snow being 
six inches to two feet deep in the drifts, so I 
could easily track the lion. Then I began to 
wish for my gun, but I followed along the track, 
and in about a mile I came to a calf he had 
killed about three days ago. 
He had just left this calf, I could see, on the 
run, so I went on after him at a gallop. It 
was a very rough country, but in a mile I got 
sight of Mr. Lion. He was leaping along, seem¬ 
ing to go about thirty feet to a jump. Then 
down came my lasso and I began to flank my 
horse with it. 
He had scented the lion and did not want to 
face the music, but the lasso and rfiy spurs made 
him go on up toward the lion. When within 
about thirty feet of the lion I made a throw with 
the lasso and caught him fair around the neck, 
then took my turns. The lion grabbed the rope 
in his teeth, but the horse was wild with fright, 
and with me giving him the rein and the spur 
he made such a hot pace that lion never gained 
his feet, and was turned end over end so he let 
loose of th’e lasso, and I never let him get his 
feet again until he was dead. 
The lasso has the. teeth marks where he 
grabbed it. • Any one can search this hide for a 
bullet hole. If anyone thinks I shot the animal 
I will hold this hide to let him'examine it. Then 
I want to sell it. The head is on, and the feet 
up to its knees. The lion was seven feet from 
the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, and 
stood three feet high— M. Pulsipher, in the Salt 
Lake City Evening News. 
WINTER FISHING. 
How many of ’the thousands of fishermen who 
sail back and forth in the waters about Greater 
New York from early May until late _ September 
realize that fishing the year around is a hobby 
with scores of residents of the city. 
One of the coldest days of a very cold winter 
a matter of business called a newspaperman to 
Long Beach. He was obliged to make his way 
as best he could beyond the dreary barn of the 
great hotel, which looked bare and forbidding in 
its solitude, to a cottage located to the east of 
the hotel building. . 
There was a little snow on the ground, an

SPAR. COATING 
is used by those yacht builders who have a reputa¬ 
tion they intend to keep. The most expensive var- 
nhh is the varnish that does not last long and leaves 
the boat unprotected The cheapest, because it is 
the best, is Edward Smith & Co’s Spar Coating—it 
was used on the International yacht cup winners— 
on the “Queen,” the “Vim,” etc., etc. Its initial 
cost may be a little more than some, but in the long 
run it is by far the most economical.
