THE BEAST LET GO AND FELL BACK.

In most cases the man-eater is an old
beast, with most Of his teeth gone.
This tiger was full grown, not over five
years old, and every tooth was perfect.
When he dropped to the floor he spit
like mad cat, wheeled with snarl,
and at his second jump he struck the
partition like battering-ram. He not
only struck it, but he stood on his hind
legs and pulled and shook, and it must
have gone down had we not attacked
him. The native dealt one of his paws
terrific blow with the stick, and cut
half way through the other with blow
Of the knife. The beast let go and fell
back. 1t was now broad day, and we
could see him plainly. A photograph
of his head and face would make a wom-
an SILVER. He backed off, laid his ears
fiat to his head, showed every tooth, and
his eyes wandered up and down the
partition looking for weak spot. I ex.
pected rush, but he was not quite
ready. He made three circles of the
room, and then, springing like flash,
he fastened to the bamboos again. II
we had not been ready the partition
could not have held him more than q
minute. He used teeth and claws and
the whole hut was shaken with his ex.
ertions. got in savage cut on his
hind leg and stabbed him in the shout.

whack on the nose. When he let &c
this time he was done for. He retreated
to corner and howled and wnined like
a puppy, and Captain White now called
out to know the situation. explained
that the tiger could not get out as ]
could now SEQ the silver which obstructr

at the tigers head he was moaning and
shivering, and l almost felt ashamed to
shoot him.
Not knowing whether the dead man.
eater had a mate or not we secured the
jungles for his lair, and found it in the
ravine not more than half mile away.
He had not devoured any of his victims
at the spot where he rested, but all had
been eaten within radius of few
rods. From what we could discover ii
was concluded that he was SOLITARY, :
and as the village suffered no more this
must have been the case. In removing
the skin we found spot on the shoulder
where the beast had been severely cut
with knife. The slash was fully four
inches long and quite deep, and the hair
had not. grown out to cover the scar.
Ninety-nine chances out of a hundred

English omcers to 60 out and destroy a
man-eater who had rendered himself q
terror to large district. Hearing of
the presence of the American, they came
to him instead. The Government bounty
on the head of man-eater at that time
was sixty dollars. The villagers offered
to make up sixty additional and to give
the Captain q COW and four goats. In
ten minutes he had closed a bargain,
and on the afternoon of the second day
we reached Aliwar. It was situated on
the Scindwala river, which is one of the
tributaries of the Ganges, and within
fifteen miles of the foothills of the
Himalaya Mountains. The country
was badly broken and covered
with heavy forest and Jungle, and
the Captain pronounced it the
finest tiger range in India. The village
contained about seven hundred inhab-
itants, and had considerable commerce
with points lower down on the stream.
1t was on the bank of the river strung
out for half mile, and the cleared
space thus occupied was not more than
a quarter of a mile wide. A days work
on the part of the villagers would have
been sufficient to clear away the cover
under which the tiger approached, but
not a move was made. The beast had
appeared about four weeks previous, and
the first intimation of his presence cost
q woman her life. She was cooking at
= fire on the north side of the village,
not over ten feet from the door at which
her husband and three children sat,
when a tiger, who had come out of a
ravine and kept the cover of some
bushes, sprang upon her. This was just
at shutdown. The spring of the tiger
knocked the woman into the fire. He
seized her by the foot and drew her out,
and, although her clothing was on fire,
he took hold of her shoulder, gave her
body twist to throw the weight on his
back and was off at run. The woman
must have been killed by the blow of
his paw as he sprang, as she made no
cry.
In the four weeks which had elapsed
since the man-eater appeared no had
carried off seven people, and for . dis
lance of ten miles around the people
were in great terror. There were half
q dozen old muskets owned in Aliwar,
and these had been loaded and dis
charged at the ravine at. high noon in
hopes to scare the tiger away. Two
nights previous to our arrival the tiger
had entered a hut through an open win
dow, seized boy ten years of age, and
made his exit by the door. The cries
Of the boy awoke every one in the vii
lage and could be heard a long way up
the ravine. He had not come the night
efore, but was expected to show up on

John G. Moore, a rancher near Moore

to ride couple of race horses he owns,
one of them, Gold Dust, being well
known for speed. The girls rode with
surcingles only, but the horses became
unmanageable. Being two Of them and
supposing themselves matched for race
the high bred animals dashed away with
their inexperienced riders. The girls
were soon thrown off and dragged a
short distance. One had her arm broken

Increase Of Railway Mileage.

The increase in railway mileage in this
country during the first six months Of
the year was 1893 miles. This is ac-
counted highly creditable. More miles
of railroad have been constructed in the
southern states than in any other section
of the country. The northwestern states
and territories, where construction went
on rapidly for a while, have nearly
stopped building. Massachusetts, laid
but a mile and half of new road
Maine about ten miles. The other New
England states stood still. California
gained one mile Chicago News.

derby hats must be handled with
velvety touch in summer" Few people
are aware Of the fact that the great heat
at this season of the year softens stiff
hat so much that it can almost be rolled
up into ball. That's why the crown
should be handled as little as possible,
becatse it is the easiest thing in the
world to dent the hat when it is soft, and
the mark will stay there forever. The
hat is all right if you don't touch the
crown while it is soft, because it regains
its natural stiffness as soon as cold
weather cools it off. IF you hold derby
hat near hot stove it will lose it's stiff

EATEN BY A WILD BOAR.
A Sickening Occurrence in the
ChickasaW Nation.

A family named McMullen, halfbreed
Usage Indians, residing on Wild Horse Greek,
Chickasaw Nation, Texas, had a little girl
named Clara, six years of age, who was left
alone at home while the mother went to the
creek, some quarter Of mile distant, to do
the family washing. While she was
absent wild boar entered the cabin and at
tackled the child. When the mother returned
the ferocious animal was just eating the last
vestige of the little girl. The horrible scene
caused the mother to faint, and she remained
IN an unconscious state an hour or more
till discovered by a neighbor, who happened
to come along. The wild hog escaped into
the swamps when the woman appeared.
