Can't Touch RentOMn.

One of the leading citizens of Dakota
told his errand to piano dealer on State
street yesterday as follows:
81 want some sort of an instrument
that will look pretty well and yet not
cost much money. Our town needs one
more piano and one more she'll have.
Theresa measly little smallpox stricken
hole just over the county line named
Siouxtown which pretends to rival Ben
town, but she can't touch her, stranger.
We've had five pianos in our town ever
since it was started and Siouxtown didn't
have any until last month, whenit gothold
of five old Jew's-harp affairs at sherIff's
sale somewhere. The next week the
papers there, both of them daiiies, came
out with a screech that Siouxtown had
five pianos and they wanted to know
how Bentown liked that. Well, now,
well Just show them how we like it.
We had meeting and subscribed money
to buy another instrument SOS to make
six for us, and that's what Pm here COR.
When any o1e-horse slovenly little burg
like that gets away with the enterpris-
ing citizens of our town it will be when
they raise No. hard wheat on billiard
tables" Chicago Herald.

Trapping a Tigress.

She was captured about nine months
ago, in obedience to an order sent to In
dia by Mr.. Reiche for one of her kind.
A tiger track was found in the Jungle
leading to the reedy banks of a river.
A pit about twenty feet deep was dug
in the path and covered over with
branches of trees and brushwood. The
natives then concealed themselves, and
at night the tigress, going down to the
water, crashed through the covering,
and lay, partially stunned and wholly
helpless at the bottom of the pit. She
was allowed to lie there for week.
The mouth of the pit was again closed
and for seven days she lived in dark.
ness without food or water. Such treat
ment very often kills tiger but it is the
only known method OF reducing them
from the state of savage frenzy succeed
ing their capture to anything like sub
mission.
When at last the coverings were again
removed the then untame5 Fanny was
found to be anything but subdued. She
was, however, weak, and her furious
bounds to reach the mouth of The pit
were short at frst, and grew shorter
with every effort. Then the natives be-
gan to angle for her. 1t was hard and
dangerous fishing, but slowly roose after
moose was dropped around her body,
her fore legs were drawn tightly to her
sides, and she was pulled up at last firm
ly bound and powerless. Other cords
were thrown around her, and with her
feet in the air and her back down, she
was lashed to bamboo poles, and carried
by a score of men to the place of embark
alton. She had very little life left in ner
when she was placed on board ship and
dispatched to Germany.
When she landed in Europe, however,
she had quite recovered, and Mr.. Reicbe,
who is living in Germany, was delighted
with her appearance. He gave her the
name of Fanny, and secured her passage
to America. She is worth perhaps
$500. n. Y. Sun.

A graduate of Yale College, DR.. Samuel K.

list, Washington, ID. O., makes the following
official statement: "ro the thousands whose
systems instinctively shrink from the use of
Morphia and Opium, and especially to moth
ers, who justly dread the evil, and at times
fatal effects of these dangerous drugs, the
Red Star Cough Cure must prove boon. IL

cough preparation in ten can boast, but 1t is

ton on careful analysis and numerous practi
cal tests-the latter in every case resulting in

Encke,s Comet Returning.

Profes ,or Brooks has just secured a
good observation of Encke's comet, now
slowly Frightening as the time APP
proaches for its return to its perihelion.
1t is nearly sixty.six years since the
indefatigable astronomer whose name it
bears announced his great discovery
that this comet travels path of short
period round the sun. The comet of
ITO, found by Lexell to describe an
elliptic orbit with periodic time of only
five and half years, had been up to
1919 the only comet of short period OBJ
served nearly approaching the earth,
but Lexell's has for more than a century
been "the lost comet" The periodicity
of Encke's comet has, however, been
fully established, and on each occasion
when its return to its perihelion has
been repredicted it has, as Herschell
says, scrupulously kept to its appoint
ment.
Owing to resistance which it en-
counters from a rare ethereal medium
pervading the region through which it
moves, Encke's comet, singularly enough,
has slowly but continually diminishing
period. When it first became an object
of great astronomical interest its period
was l ,211 days. According TO late cal
culation of DR.. Backlund. ofthe Imperial
observatory at Pulkowa. its present pc.
riod of revolutions is 1907 S6 days, and
its perihelion passage in 1885 takes place
on March 7. The observations Of Pro-
fessor Brooks prove that the comet is
making its revolution without being SER
iously affected by planetary attraction.
and will return to its perihelion on time.

Caught by an Octopus,

A diver who was trying to find pearls

found himself, all of sudden, in the
grasp of an ugly octopus with arms
twenty-seven feet long. Such an exper-
