The Duke Of Edin burgh, by falling heir

Tonna is in place of another string of

Leopards are sometimes very bold and

a narrow camp bed in the veranda OF a
small indigo factory, where we had Sc

could just see by the moonlight the form
of a leopard as it climbed onto the verauda
and approached my bed. Fortunately had

as loudly as l could, and some of the native

thought it expedient TO depart, and was
seen to depart.
Far different wss the experience OF the
tea-planter in Assam, who was visited by
a tiger under somewhat similar clrcum-
stances. He was lying asleep on his cot in
the veranda of his bungalow, and one of
his hands was hanging outside his mos
quito curtains. The tiger seized him by
the hand and literally pulled him out OF
bed. He managed TO alight on his feet
and then he found himself being led along
by the tiger, from whose Jaws he could not
release his hand. His feelings must have
been very unpleasant. Fortunately an
alarm was raised and another gentleman,
rushing out with a loaded gun, fired a
couple of shots. which probably hit the
tiger, as ne let go the hand and bolted
A somewhat analogous story is told by
Mr.. Baker, once a well-knOwn sportsman
in Lower Bengal. He says that he was
watching for tiger one morning, when
the animal came out on the other side of
the jungle and seized villager who was
squatted down cutting grass. The tiger,
having got easy possession of his victim,
did not proceed at once to kill or eat the
man, but lay upon him as if meditating on
the pleasure awaiting it. Its meditations
were cut short by a bullet from Mr..
Bakers rife, and the villager was found
almost uniujured. Mr.. Baker then de-
scrlbes what the villager told him about
his sensations and apprehensions when h e
thought that his life was forfeited, and
only death awaited him in whatever man
ner the tiger might select.

A Dansville preacher told us that he
attended the funeral of a husband once,
and when he returned to the house OF
mourning to console the wife, the first
opportunity she had she remarked:
"Well, Bro her, I'll give you job
that will pay you better before long"
And, sure enough, she got married soon
