Different Kind Of Tigers

The statement is confirmed that. though
the tiger OF the hills differs from the tiger Of
the plains in such particulars "a color, length
Of stripes and rings on the tai, tho species,
for practical purposes, Is one and the same.
But this is subject to the explanation that
the prey Of the tiger differs according to the
locality which it %irequents. In heavy tree
jungle it lives on deer and hogs. In large
plains where bulrush anu high grass alternate
with open pasture and cultivation the animal
become, "a cattle killer. Last and most
dreaded is the man eater, VINO may be found

Parson Jim had shown the Hon Samuel
Green and one or two others the note that
Kansas had left with Ethel Winship.
Months fed and Ethel stayed on at the
gulch. She became c%ontented, and much
appreciated the parsons caro- and efforts 70

the parsonage rs neat and pretty as ii II had
been IN Massachusetts, or the English mid
lands. instead Of In "a wild Colorado valley.
Only, every time news came Of q robbery or
murder by Kansas and his gang, would the
poor girl become agitated, and cry for ven
geance on the man who took from her u dear
father
Three years slipped quickly away at George
Washington Cullen. The robber had evi-

for the girl; for, at odd times, a packet OF
money had been found on the outside Of the

Ethel Winship had growni into a beautiful

PARIS RULED THE GERMAN
ball almost as distinctly as it will the
French ball next week. One English
feature, however, was there in a pretty
woman who represented an idealiZed
London barmaid, but who refused to fill
her beer glasses with anything short of
champagne.
'Oh, DO fill my glass;" she said to an
old rounder in the wine room.
''All right" he said, ''and mine, too"

champagne. sAnd | couldn't see a

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
INDUCED in fantastic apparel, and some
well-known personages made them
selves conspicuous, not to say ridicu-
lous, by their apparel. For instance,
there was Franz RemmerZ, the widely
known bass singer, who paraded as one
of group of 'FauSts," his disguise be-
ing to an extent involuntary, as the
| committee on which he was placed had
to dress in this way. And again there
was Bambach, an uptown stock broker
"a man of about sixty years, whose face
bears strong resemblance to Richard
Mansfield's makeup as Baron Chey-
rial" Bambach paraded of his own
sweet will as a kind of undetinable
PantaloOn, wearing a vest six inches
long, allowing his shirt to make linn
tied appearance before the beginning of
his trousers, which came to an untimely
end at the knees and exposed a pair of
striped stocking and slippers. He "cut
up" all the night long ,and to his credit,
be it said, as if it were a real recreation
for him. He confined himself strictly
to the ball room floor, and only visited
the refreshment rooms for glass of
beer and higf-priced ham sandwich.
WHAT STRIKES ME

There is something about the corset
that fascinates both men and women.
TO,a woman the charm of corset is in
its utility. and man likes it for the COM
pany it keeps. How often does one see
on State street or Wabash avenue a
group of men standing in front of a
milliner's or modiste's window admir-
ing the wax-work figure therein, as
pretty as a picture and lacking only the
breath of life to make it the sweetest of
earth's objects. 1t will do no good to
stop and inquire if it is the wax figure
which the motley crowd so much adj
mires, or the corset which is so well
displayed upon the plump, well-rounded
image. AS like as not it is the contents
of the corset rather than the corset
itself, but the fact remains that the cor
set is one Of the leading articles of COM
merce and one of the most important
adjuncts of modern civilization. Two
hundred thousand women in Chicago
wear corSets, and they buy an average of
two or three year each. Every day
one sees women carrying their new
corsetS home in long, thin boxes. Cor
sets cost all the way from 25 cents to as
many dollars. A majority of women
pay rs cents or 81, while the best cor
sets in the trade are sold at $3.50 or So.

BURIED In SNOW.
Two Men Packed For Forty-eight

Two Men Packed For Forty-eight
Hours Under 1 80 Feet Of Snow.
San Francisco Special.
John M. Duncombe, who has just come
down to the city from Alturas, Idaho,
tells the story of a queer happening
there week or two ago.
"Five men were working at a shaft
located about halfway up the side of
Silyerton hill,a spur of the Alturas
range. The snow lies several feet deep
all over the mountain, and as
the day was clear, by the
middle of the afternoon the sun
had thawed the snow just enough to
make it SOFT and inclined to slide. A
Swede walking OF a trail above the shaft
missed his footing, and in scrambling to
regain it pushed little body of snow
out of it's balance. This was at the head
of dry gulch, and the weight and Slip
periness of the snow were enough to start
a slide. In a seconds time it had grown
to a tremendous size, and, growing big
ger every second, it rushed down the
mountain with terrible roar. The trees
in its path were moved down like grass
before scythe. The Swede who started
the slide fell over in it, his body was
buried in the snow. and had not yet been
found when came away.
1.-TWO men were working the WindlaSS
at the mouth of the shaft and two others
were inside. The two at the surface
heard the slide coming and hurried
to get out OF its way. They were caught
in the vast mass of rushing snow and
tumbling trees. But by some uneXplain-
x.yhn 70
side and succeeded in getting out of the
avalanche. They were knocked sense
less, but received no serious injuries.
'But the queereSt part Of the whole
story is about the two men who were in
side the shaft. The sllde came right
down over the mouth Of the shaft and
packed its $50 feet check full of snow.
The two men, Martin Smithson and Tom
Callan, were in there, buried under all
that mass of, snow, for two days and
nights, and when they were dug out
they came to, and are now just as sound
and we'll as anybody. The snow was
packed into some parts of the shaft so
tight that it was almost as hard as ice,
and it took exceedingly hard work to get
it out. But the snow, no matter how
tightly it is packed, does not exclude the
air, and that is the way they happened
to live through. They were caught in
upright positions, too, or they could
hardly have survived. There they stood
for forty-eight hours, with the snow
packed around them so close that they
could not move muscle. Though so
near each other that they almost touched,
they could not even speak word. They
could just simply stand there and think.
They say they were conscious for some
time after the snow came down, and that
they suffered fortunes. They declare
they never longed for anything so much
in all their lives as they did for DEATH"
