Ttiyni otinsttnfr la f holteve cenprnllv regarded as terlous work, and not a picnic to e lightly entered on; but from the moment P. came round to my compound to say that four of the brutes had been located In the Ylkma Jungle, some four miles from the set tlement, to the morning of the last disastrous beat the gods appeared to do their best to make fun of the whole expedition, and to rob us -of that feel- t Ing of dignity due to those engaged in big-game shooting. Perhaps I should not include P. in this. P. was different. He spoke knowingly of shikars, machans, and all paraphernalia of a big shoot; he mused pensively in the heat of the day, when be should have been asleep, over Bad minton on Big-Game Shooting and guidebooks with blood-curdling pictures that made me nervous. Between whiles in a desultory manner he ran the camp mess,' or sat In state receiv lng deputations of villagers, bringing . the latest reports of the movements of , the enemy. '' ' There. was no doubt about the tigers, It must be understood. The recollec tion of Journey's of several days' length to the reported habitat of some man-eater, only to find at each village that it was so many "11" further on, was still fresh in. my recollection, and it seemed too good to be true that a whole family had taken up quarters Vto near to the settlement; but In the soft paddy and sweet potato fields bor 'dertng the cover, one could hardly walk ten yards without crossing their spoor. Had we the proper arms, it may be that our hunt had ended differently. P. had a Martini Henry of the old .451 bore and a Mauser pistol, and I a .44 Winchester repeating carbine. We camped in the oU, tumble-down building, half temple, half rest-house, that is common to most Chinese vil lages. P. insisted on cooking the din ner; also there was trouble about the bait, so that it was half-paBt nine and pitch dark when we sallied forth to the tree we had chosen for our watch. We had decided on a pig for bait, as b was likely to make the most noise. The grateful villagers, whom we had come out to rid of the blood thirsty animals that were devouring their cat tle, required some three times its value before they would part with it. Too late we discovered the deceitful ness of that pig. In the temple it had frwtested bo loudly as to drown all ne gotiations, but when at last tiea up on the field of adjon it was the most con tented pigs I havs ever known, and frantic pulls at the string attached to his leg were utterly useless to stir him to a sense of what was expected of him.

An in stant later one short wall from piggy announced tnai nis amy w as uunc, tuiu I turned in time to see the tiger a dark, formless mass disappear into the cover with six dollars' worth of pork belonging to us.. It was against all rules and prece dent P. had struck a match and was lighting his pipe in calm disregard of xny request that he would cover my sortie. I was on the ground within a few yards of the bait, while, I repeat, the noise of laughing and talking should have been, according to all our Instruction books, sufficient to scare every tiger out of the province. How. ver, fairly or not, the tiger had scored the first point, and there wa3 nothing to do but to return to the temple. Early next morning the headman of the village was summoned,, and, after touch argument, some twenty men were produced to beat the cover for us. We started across the paddy like the chorus of a comic opera, with hoes, pitchforks, executioners' swords, and halberds. One man preceded the party jvlth a huge gong, which he smote lustily, to the great delight of scores of children, who were enjoying holiday by reasons of our occupying the Tillage schoolroom, and the rear was brought up by half a dozen kerosene tins and the village flautist. It was as impos sible to keep them quiet till we should reach the ground and take up positions as it was to get them to stay there -when we lad done so.

Wert- i T merited by prodding gingerly at the ex treme edges of the jungle melted away, and P. and I concluded that, since beating was Impossible, we must watch over bait again. This time we were ensconced In our tree long before sunset, with a goat for bait. Hardly had the moon risen than out stalked, at about 100 yards' range, an enormous tiger, who strolled nont'halantly across the glade and dis appeared Into the opposite cover. Again we pulled furiously at the bait. Not a sound followed, and, after some hours' wait, we descended, to find poor nanny whether of pure fright or because she waa possibly in extremis when pur chased was dead! After a long whispered conversation a to whether tigers took carrion or not, we again trudged sadly hpme. Per sonally, I incline to the opinion that we did not talk and laugh enough, also that a cigar would have much improved our chances. Be that as it may, our third attempt was made from a ma chan. P. and I built It next morning, and an interested audience of some fifty old women and children sat round and commented. We hollowed out a large busfy and built the. platform up Inside; on the top we put a cunning roof of plaited leaves. Derisive ac quaintances, who had never even seen a tiger running wild, rode out from the settlement and asked if it was a race meeting or a Punch and Judy show? But we were satisfied; at least It was better than roosting in trees with all manner of nocturnal in sects, and we made It very comfortable with a mattress and cushions. Here we watched over Piggy II, for three nights without result. On the fourth we tried to tempt the tiger with a dog, which, however., apparently gnawed through Its rope and escaped, the most serious part of the incident being that neither my companion nor I were awake at the time. Alas! that such a trlval Incident should cause even temporary estrange ment between two fast friends. Even if it was my watch, there were plenty more dogs to be had; besides, the dog had been sleeping comfortably when I last remembered. However, P. gath ered up his text-books and his punkah coolie whom he now called a shikari and pegged out a claim at the other end of the Jungle; while I decided, since our quarry would not follow the rules as laid down in books, to try to deceive him with a simple plan of my own. At sunset, then, with several natives, I proceeded to a tree some 100 yards from the one I Intended to occu py. Here we tied up a lean, scraggy pony and made the most noisy and shameless preparations for snaring the tiger. Soon after dark settled down I crep quietly out of the tree, stole back to the camy, and enjoyed the first night'a rest I had had for a week. At three I was called, and went down to my own tree. Now, I w,a not guaran tee this plan as Infallible, and it may be that the result had nothing to do with what I still regard as rather an original Idea; but about half an hour after the first streak of dawn, and in a light by which a .44 carbine 1b my only excuse for not dropping him there and then, a magnificent tiger emerged from the dense cover and passed with in 50 yards of my tree. At my first shot the brute bounded Into the air and made a dash In my direction, ap-, proaching to within twenty yards of the tree, where I gave him a second through the right shoulder. . With a snarl like that of a dog, the animal dis appeared into the cover again, and I determined. In spite of our last fiasco, to try a beat again. Within an hour I had collected thirs ty men, and sent out coolies to find P. The animal's trail was easy to follow, for the bushes were splashed with blood, but the undergrowth was so thick that in some places it was necessary to crawl on hands and knees. In this position I suddenly heard a roar from the right of the line of which I was the center and a howl from one of the men. Pushing through as fast as I could I found an unfortunate beater had literally stumbled on the tiper and got badly mauled, his heel and the sole of the foot being half torn off. I direct ed two men to carry him out, and was just about to follow when I saw through the foliage the yellow and black, stripes of the tiger stastrr.g a few yards eff and perfectly motionless, evidently listening to the banging and the howling of the beaters,' who were closing round. I took a steady shot at what I Imagined to have been his ribs, and the brute went down with a roar, at which all the mn near me fled. There we's many trees around me, and I hurriedly selected one, for trees under certain clroumstances were meant for climbing. Before, however, I had got as high as I wished a branch broke, and I came down some fifteen feet on to the ground. There was, however, no sign of the tiger, and I returned to the open, where I found P. had arrived. Between us we bound up the mauled beater who had actually been dropped by his carriers, and had crawled out alone and sent him into the settlement. Guided by the beaters, who were now all up trees, and gave one the Impression of sailors c'.lnging to the masts of sunken ships, P. and I made another assault on the cover. The tiger was snarling and tearing up the grass within a few yards of the edge. It was impossible to aim at a vital spot, owing to the foliage, so we each gave him a bullet, and again the brute went down with a roar, evidently (by the subsequent gasping and "thun dering") shot through the lungs. Here we left him to stiffen or die, while we poirred buckets of water over each other and cooled down. Within an hour the panting sounds had ceased, and soon the treed beaters called out that the brute was dead, but not a man would accompnny us even those few yards to find the carcass. It was now getting late, and, as It was imperative that, we should secure our bag, and Induce the frightened villagers to come down from their trees before It grew rir.rk. I started into the cover alone. As I crawled cautiously in a man called out something I could not catch, but which was a warning that there were two t lifers. An instant later the brushes to my front were shaken violently, and, with a terrifying roar, a smaller tiger, prob ably the female, sprang out at me, knocking me down backward. With the brute standing right over me, I doubled my self up, covering my body with my arms and legs, and after biting me several times below the knees, the animal sheered off, and I crawled back to the open. The tiger bad won the second point and the rub ber, for this ended our amateur tiger hunt. For some days after bringing me back P. was laid up with sunstroke, while the, villagers refused to go near the cover. For all I know, the mould ering skeletons of twenty-nine beaters may yet hang In the trees of the Yik ma jungle. At least, somewhere hid den in the undergrowth lies a tiger, whose skin Is destined never to grace the hearth of his enemies. Some day, when I have recovered from the effects of big-game shooting, I am going to take possession of what is left. Lon don Field". QUAINT AND CURIOUS. The ink plant of New Granada is a curiosity. The juice of it can be used as ink without any preparation. At first the writing is red, but after a few hours it changes to black, Miss Mabel A. Ayer of San Fran cisco, Cal., has succeeded in training a number of butterflies. Sugar and water are the Inducements, and the little winged pets go through several droll performances. A tailor named Gabriel of Boston, England, has in his window a num ber of small tortoises, each bearing on its back one of the seven letters of his name; He gives a prize of 2 to any one who discovers that the tur tles have arranged themselves so as to spell the name correctly. The builders are at work on a stone viaduct at Plauen, Saxony, over the River Syra, which contains the long est masonary arch In the world, its length being 295 feet 6 Inches, meas ured horizontally from base to base. The Luxembourg bridge across tlie valley of .Petruffe, which was com pleted a few months ago, has a span of 277 feet. The next longest mas onary arch is In the United States, near Washington, and Is known as the Cabin John bridge. Its length of span is 220 feet. Some ambitious silkworms of th neighborhood of Venice have woven by themselves a ribbon three yards long and three inches wide. When they reached the chrysalis stage, ac cording to the Indianapolis News, in stead of weaving round cocoons on the twigs prepared for them they pre ferred to travel up and down the smooth tipper side of a strip of wood nine feet long and three Inches wide. Back and forth they went, spinning their silken web, until at last they made a beautiful ribbon; transparent In its centre and golden yellow at the heavier edges. The scarf is amazing ly strong for a fabric so delicately woven, A difference of opinion seems to have arisen over the effect of firing a candle at a board. For a long time the ancient tradition has held its own that the soft tallow hurled at the mark by a musket would put a hole through an ordinary plank. Yet here comes a gun-bearer who declares that he has tried the experiment and finds the material of the candle wildly scat tered upon the target. Of course, with present-day rifles and breech loaders it may not be possible to dis charge a candle effectively from a military arm or from the latest style of sporting guns. But it would cer tainly be a pity to leave thn question unsolved. Dottle's Prayer. "Please, God, make Mamie Ross a good girl. Please make her a awful good little girl.

No woman or man' should marry before 25. They are not mature enough before this for the serious and perplexing duties which follow marriage. The vast majority of people find many of these duties very Irk some. If the especial marriage relations could be conducted on a pure, high and moral plane, the greatest cause of friction and disgust would be less. As long as these relations are conducted .on a purely animal basis both are degraded. As long as the man thinks he owns this woman's soul and body, disregarding motherhood and its requirements, thinking only of himself and his supposed needs, so long will there be friction, dislike, even hatred of each other. Woman has been man's slave since time began. If she Is not a good cook all her other virtues seem small.' All over the country women are slaves today, first to husbands, then to their children and the home. No time even to think of other things. Women are the heroes of the world, as well as the mothers, and the sunshine. They pour their whole lives out for those they love, usually with scant appreciation. God bless all these women! I hail the day when these educated, strong, wise, self-reliant' women will control and guide the coming generations. Where these grand, good girls are to find husbands they can re spect is a problem, if the boys continue to smoke, drink, visit places they don't want their women friends to know about and spend their time In games and sports, not to mention the worst ones. Unless they begin to give up all these demoralizing pursuits and cultivate their best natures, there would be few I should be willing my daughter should marry. When that time comes, as it will, the community will demand a higher manhood. Then there will be happier homes and fewer divorces. Sanctity of Home Life By President Theodore Pjoosevelt, (From an Address Before the Inti;rohurch Conference on Marriage J and Divorce.) 0HERE is a certain tendency to exalt the unessential in deal ing with our public questions, and public men especially are apt to get their attention concentrated on questions that have no importance, but are wholly ephemeral compared with the questions that go straight to the root of things. Ques tions like the tariff and the currency are of literally no con quence whatsoever compared with the vital question of having the unit of our social life, the home, preserved. , It is impossible to overstate the importance of the cause you represent. If the average husband and wife fulfil their duties toward one another and toward their children as Christianity teaches them, then we may rest absolutely sure that the other problems will solve themselves, but If we have solved every other problem in the wisest possible way, it shall profit us nothing if we have lost our own national soul, and we will have lost it if we do not have the question of relations of the family put upon the proper basis. While I do not know exactly what you wish me to do, I can say that so far as in me lies, everything will be done to co-operate with you toward the end that you have in view. One of the most unpleasant and dangerous features of our family life is the diminishing birth rate and the loosening of the marriage tie among the old native American families. It goes without saying that for the race as for the individual no material prosperity, no business growth, no artistic or scientific development will count If the race commits suicide. Therefore I count myself fortunate in having the chance to work with you in this matter of vital importance to the national welfare. I The Desert Transformed jj) By French Strother. Q BH1RTY-TWO years ago there was but ono Vense in the town of Fresno, Jn the central desert of California. A hole was dug under It, forty feel deep, Into which the Inmates lowered lowered themselves by a bucket and a windlass, to escape the heat of the day. Around it, as far as the eye could see, stretched the glaring desert, unbroken by any cultivated spot of green. Today this spot is the centre of a cheerful community of 8,000 homes Sti a land made fertile by Irrigation. Ten thous and children attend its puliic schools. The industries there yield $14,000,000 annually. The raisin crop of 1902 put Into the farmers' bank accounts $2,300, 000. All the raisins imported Into the United States In 1902 amounted in value to only $400,000. In 1902 the oil wells of Fresno County yielded 570,000 barrels of crude petroleum, worth $200,000 before refining. Eighty-nine thous and head of cattle graze on its rich alfalfa. ' When a few straggling fortune-hunters came to the county late in the six ties they were welcomed by this si: n hung over Fresno's one building: "Bring your horses. Water, one bit; water and fe?t, three bits." Fresno wa3 a "wat ering station" only. In 1872, however, Mr. M. J. Church conveived the idea of bringing water in ditches from King's River, twenty miles away, to irrigate the land. His proposal was laughed at as a drtamer's scheme. But persistence won; in 1876 he had water on land within three miles of the town of Fresno, and the first year's crop proved the sell to be fertile. The area of watered ground was rapidly extended. Today there are 3C0.000 acres under irrigation World's Work. The Aeed for Javies By Lieut.
