A Boys Fight with Tiger.
A Japanese boy about thirteen years
of age went into Jungle in the pro-
vince Of Djockdjakarta to cut some
grass. On arriving at brook he saw
that it was almost dried up and that
numbers of fish were sprawling in the
mud. The boy INN ediately set to work
catching as many fish as he could, and
in doing so wentup the rivulet. He per-
ceived there on the side of the hill a
large opening, out of which some water
was flowing. Thinking that M ore fish
might be caught there he crept into the
opening, but scarcely had he advanced
few steps into the grotto, when he was
attacked by a tiger. Without hesitation
the brave boy drew his grass knife,
which he wore behind in his girdle, and
with it gave the attacking tiger couple
of cuts on the head. The tiger, still
more enraged, now sprang upon the
body of the boy, 'grasped him with his
claws and began to roa- frightfully.
The brave boy did not lose his presence
OF mind, but in spite of the most dread
full pain he went on continually cutting
into the tigers head with his grass knife,
with the fortunate result that the mon.
ster at length drew its last breath and
the brave boy, although terribly
mauled, got away and could return
home to inform his parents of the event.
The villagers who afterward went out
to bring in the slain tiger formed regular
procession.
