please, Jenny"
Jenny shook her head, and said some
thing unintelligible because of, the
pickle in her mouth.
"Ill let YOU wear my red glass beads
for just IL bite"
1--WE got some nice yeller glass ones
that I'd ruther wear" said Jenny.
Several other offers were made and
rejected, and the pickle had nearly dis
appeared when the little Dleader said
sadly, with moistening eyes:
II should think you might gimme
just one bite, Jenny, when I-I-you
know l amt got no father"
A responsive chord had at last been
touched. Jenny rose to her feet with
Il bound, and holding out her hand,
said
Come on! I never thought of that.
I've got another cent in my pocket.
You come with me an I'll get you a
whole big pickle an you needn't give
me Il single bite" and away they ran.

Just then. as the bushes were drawn

Just then, as the bushes were drawn
away, the captain saw two green eyes
looking ut him, and slowly blinking.
The tiger was not dead, nor ever Sc
verely wounded. Instead of dismount.
ing, as he was on the point Of doing,
the captain shouted to his brother that
the tiger was alive and must have an
other shot.
Fire if you must" was the reply,
but his skin will be so riddled with
bullets that it won't be worth 4 cent"
The captain fired at four PAGES dis
tancc. AS before the tiger made no re-
Spouse. but when the smoke cleared
away the eyes were no longer visible.
The captain got down. took his knife
in his teeth, and wrigglcd with much
difficulty into the narrow mouth OF the
cave. AS soon as he came within reach
he took hold of the tigers roe and
pulled it. The action vas not resented.
and the man wrigglcl in IL little far
thcr and lifted the tigers head. There
was no doubt any longer. The beast
was dead.
They dragged him out with much
hard work, and then it appeared that
n bullet had graZed his left ear. and
that no other had so much as touched
him unit; that last one Of the captains
between the eyes. 1t was lucky that
the captain saw the two green eyes.
Otherwise he would have faced in
that narrow cave al nnWOundcd tiger.
Near Enough.
Tho, island of Ceylon is sometim IS re-
ferred to as the Isle of Spice" but
with all it's abundance of flowers AND
fruits, it furnishes many a neighbor
to the planter that he would gladly do
without. Outing describes a visit from
two such savage neighbors.
One Sunday afternoon a planter and
his wife went out for a stroll. accom-
panied by a favorite Maltese terrier.
They took a path leading to an Gle
waited corner of the estate, partly en-
closed with forest. Here they sat
down on Il log, and remained enjoying
the lovely view till the frightening
shadows warned them that it was time
to return.
At that moment the lady noticed the
dog, which had crossed owe to he
other side of a little ravine, and ex-
claimed:
Look at Gyp! What is the matter
with herr"
The man turned and saw that the
dog was crouching by a stump, appar-
emily in abject terror.
There came a rustling in the under
brush, and with a spring as quick as
light a magnificent leopard bounded
out of the and picked up the dog
in it's mouth.
The great cat paused for a moment,
looking around, switching it's tail from
side to side and growing in triumph.
Then it trotted into the jungle. AS it
did so a second leopard suddenly APP
peared, looking larger and tierccr than
the first, and catching sight Of the
spectators, followed its mate.

While the regular army service does
not seem to be very popular in Great
Britain just now, the volunteer serv-
ice, corresponding in general lines to
our national guard, seems to be es-
pecially so. The returns for the last
wear show the number of enrollments
to have been greater thanh any year
with one exception since the organize
ton of the force. There We're 227, al
enrollments, of which 219,111 are re-
turned as %eflcicnts. This number of
~eficients has only been exceeded three
times.

1t is proposed to make the elevated
structure light and narrow, so as to
occupy very little ground. The passen-

and three and a half feet wide, carry
ing forty passengers apiece. These long
and narrow cars will encounter very

Reecher. and will cut the air like a
bird. The entrance to the cars is ut the
side. The coaches are made on the BIZ
cycle principle, and it is stated that in
motion they will balance themselves
on the center or traction wheel, while
the safety or guide wheels at the side
will not touch the guide rails, thus
causing very little friction. The cars

Another Snake.Bitc Cure.

The only excuse for publishing m
dies for snake-bite is the very remote
chance that you may be, o to speak,
entertaining an angel unawares, and
passing on for the benefit of future
generations Of unfortunate victims Of
the deadly serpent fang the only bona
fide cure that has ever been discovered.
G. B. Pense, in a letter to a leading
scientific journal. says that while trav-
cling in Nicaragua it was his custom to
carry a medicine chest along. One day,
during Il discussion of the various rem
edies for snake bites. his companion
said he had once heard that to cauter-
ize the wound with carbolic acid and
give the same internally was Il SUR
cure. In the evening of the same day
they arrived at Il Sumo Indian village.
The village chief had been bitten on
the foot by a tomagas. the most veno-
nous snake in the country. He was in
the most pitiable condition the thin,
Watery blood issuing from his mouth,
nose, ears, and even the tattoo marks
on his arms and breast. The people,
knowing that the medicine chest was
available, clamored for american med
icine," and Mr.. Pense and his compan-
ion decided to try the carbolic. They
had nothing to guide them as to guam
ttty, but took their chance upon three
drops dissolved in glycerine in half a
WineglasSful of water. Two doses were
given at an interval of half an hour
that evening. Two hours after the
second dose an emctic vas admins
tered, which greatly relieved the pa
tent, who soon went to sleep. The
next morning they gave him another
dose of acid, and left him. Mr.. Pense
has since learned from q friend, who
took a trip into that part of the country
that the chief fully recovered, and that
another man had been successfully
treated in the same way.

NOW THEY ARE OUTLAVED
Old Dominion Jockey Club Inaugurated
Foreign Book Betting Yesterday.
RACING AUTHORITIES ACTED
Held Meeting in New York and Re-
voked the Virginia Tracks License-Big
Crowd Witnessed Six Well Contested Races.

The officials of the Old Dominion Jockey Club
put on foreign book at the Alexander Island
course yesterday, and thereby forfeited Its
license by the new jockey club. A dispatch
from New York last evening conveyed the infor-
nation that 'the stewards Of the 1ockey club
held an important meeting and passed resolu-
tion revoking the license of the Old Dominion
Jockey Club for permitting foreign book to be
made on tho track. They Ind been assured
that such thing would not be allowed, and
were much incensed at the breach Of faith. Any
person riding, training, or running horses at
that track in the future will be forbidden to race
on any other track in the country"
The local people were well aware that tho
above action would be taken, and allowed the
foreign book because Of the general demand, and
the belief that it would materially aid the club in
attracting larger audience. The horsemen
now here are understood to be in hearty sympa-
thy with the move and will remain and race
their horses
The attendance yesterday was the largest of
the meeting, tnere being about 5000 people in
attendance, and a card of six raccs was run of
