Coming Into Use AGAIN

Safety chains between passenger cars
are largely IN use, and although proba-
bly, one-third of such cars in this coun-
Try are not yet SO equipped, the tendency
Is toward their general use. Passenger
cars will sometimes uncouple around
curves and drawbars will sometimes
break or pull out; hence precaution
against the results of occurrences is ad-
vlsable. The Car Builders association
has properly undertaken to remedy the
great differences of form and location of
safety chains now existing by agreeing

A Man Eater,

The notorious JOunSar man.eating tigrrSS

way to her cubs, who were r0mping about
and rolling over the apparently iifeleSS
body. She then lay down u few yards off
and with blinking eyes watched the gam
bOlS of her progeny. In a few moments
the man sat up and tried to beat the young
brutes off. They were too young to hold
him down, so he made a desperate attempt
to shake himself free and started off on q
run; but before he could get twenty yards
the tigress bounded out and brought him
back to her cubs.
Once more the doomed wretch had to
defend himself from their playful attacks.
He made renewed efforts to regain his free
dom, but was seized by the old tigress
and brought back each time before he
had gone many yards. His groans and
cries f0rhpfp were heart Iending, but the
men on the tree were paralyzed with fear

tigress herself joined in the gambOls of the

posed worthlessness of both. If proper reward were offered and a proviso attached that in case the dog were found alive the owner must, if unable to pay costs and damages, stop bit in the work house for the benefit of the state, it would make tol- erably sure work of sheep killing dogs. A dog that returns from night foray among sheep, where the work of destruction is only stopped by his sheer exhaustion, gives himself away to his owner. If the pro- longation of the brute's life until the ar. rival of paid detective meant trouble for the owner the dog would die, instead oi resting week and then starting ont on s hunt for another flock. Another change that could hurt no one and be in the inter. est of peaceful travellers as we'll as sbeer owners, would be penalty for allowing any dog to be at large between eight o'clock p. m. and sunrise the next morn ing unaccompanied. All valuable dogs are housed in some way, and when the, are not confined cheap chain will make them safe.

After ten years of immunity from the ravages of sheep dogs our turn now comes. About half flock of ewes, all raised on the farm and picked when lambs, aud a thoroughbred Southdown buck that it will be difficult to replace with an equally good one, were killed last week. It is little wonder that the sheep owner as he gathers together the mangled and terrified rem naut of h1s fl 'ck feels like exterminating the whole race of dogs This being i'm. practical, we must look for the best prac. tical plan of relief. --~

In short he knew his opinion was exactly right and any one who held a different opinion was exactly wrong.
