SAVED BY A BUFFAl q.
How "a Pugnacious Bull Put Savag
Tiger to Flight.


Tiger to Flight.
The forest land of southern India
possesses a breed of buffaloes vastly
superior to the bare-skinned, ungainly
creatures common to the plains of In
dia. They are shaggy-haired, massive
and short-jointed, with short, thick,
symmetrically-c horns. They are
trained as beasts of burden and pos
sess immense strength. A bull of this
breed is a match for tiger.
A herd of buffaloes was grazing on
the outskirts of the forest at Soopah,
with the herder on guard short dis
tance away. A tiger came out of the
forest and tried by roaring to stampede
the herd.
The herdsman manifested great
bravery. He shouted, beat his heavy
quarter-staff on the ground, and tried
to scare the brute off, not thinking of
his own danger, but of that of his herd.
Suddenly the tiger rushed forward,
sprang upon the man, knocked him
down and stood over him growing.
The bull of the herd, pugnacious
creature, now charged savagely upon
the tiger, and rolled him over and over.
The bull was so quick in his motions
that the tiger, taken unawares, was at
disadvantage. He neither bit nor
scratched the bull, but gathered him
self up and galloped off into the forest.
The bull shook himself, beloved, pur-
sued his enemy few yards and then
went quietly to feeding as if vanquish-
ing tiger were an everyday occur
renee.
The herdsman was not injured by the
tiger, but received a wound in the leg
from the bulls sharp horn, inflicted
when the buffalo knocked over the
tirer

days to the top of some wooded noun
tains, where previously, on deer
hunt, had happened to come across
several specimens not to be found in
the plains, putting up at a house
which had been built by former resi-
dent and was kept in repair by the
government and used as sanitarium.
One day, had been led long chase
into the woods by a ''flutter-bug" of
unusual size and brilliancy, which
looked as though cut out of mother-of-
pearl, and shining under the suns
rays which occasionally penetrated the
dense foliage, with all colors of the
rainbow. He had escaped me dozen
times or more, but at length had him
secure enough and in perfect condition.

which could not account for, but which
certainly experienced me to

from the butterfly and to turn my gaze
upward to the branches of the tree
above me.
What was my horror to see the head
of gigantic snake within Il few feet
of my own, his black eyes following my
every movement and his huge coils
slowly loosening from the brancf
round which he was twined prepara
tory to inclosing me in their deadly
folds and crushing the life out of me.
Several people had been lost il

With a yell of terror, l sprang bacl

and remained gazing spelibound at tn
monster, which had now ceased it

Every man arrested for vagrancy
nowadays is not a tramp, says the
Wilkes-Barre NelrSRealer. Some twen-
!y men arrested recently at Reading,
charged with being vagrants, proved
to be workingmen and were discharg-
ed. In some. cities the police are too
offcious and make arrests when they
are uncalled for. The professional
tramp, of course, cannot be watched
too closely, but there is no need of
taking into custody every stranger
who comes into a town, and holding
him up to public view as desparado.

That which the worker produces
by his own exertions, whether physi-

worker, and not one iota of it should
be taken by another person or even
by the government To do so is to
commit robbery, and to call it taxes
or revenue does not lessen the theft.

FAIRLY QUIET ELECTION
One or Two Persons Injured, but
No Serious Shedding of Blood.
Desha Breckinridge's Face Scratched by
an Opponent of -His Father-The
Women's Last Appeal to Voters.

LEXINGTON. KY, Sept. 15.-No elec-
ton or other occasion ever caused such
general suspension OF business and daily
duties as the contest to-day between w. C.
Owens, w. c. p. Breckenridge and e. e.
Settle for the Democratic nomination for
Congress from the Ashland district For
months the district has been agitated in
the most bitter personal agitation 1t was
not a political, not even a, factional fight.
1t was q moral contest for weeks and
months. and during the East few days
1t became intensely personal, so much SO
that the nomination twas not the only
issue. Colonel Breckenridge was fighting
for life. and he never before made such
speeches or displayed such executive abil-
ity in organization. He marshaled every
man he could command. bat he could not
command the women. They had no votes
but they were the controlling element in
the fight
At the Owens headquarters tonight the
claims have run up from 400 at O'Clock
to two. three. four and even five times
that plurality. and they say in their re-
joicing: ''The ladies did It," The. ladies
could not get ward workers to their prayer
meetings or other gatherings, but their or
ganization of committees of one generally
got promises at home out Of voters who
needed no watching on entering the booths
With the saloons closed, the women pray
ing. and the best influences all aroused.
there was quiet election, although excite
ment and bitter feeling was at the high
est pitch.
The greatest surprise of the day was
the good order everywhere. There were
some personal encounters, bat not as many
as usual at closely contested elections.
There was. however. great precautlon to
prevent trouble. Old friends and neigh
bors had been having their inning, and
they wanted only the voting to-day. If the
Breckenridge men had challenged as
strictly as had been expected, there would
have been trouble. So closely had the cam
vassing and polling been done that the
challengers knew how almost all the DEM
ocrats stood. and they could have kept
many from voting. 1t was generally uri-
derstood that the Republican managers
favored Breckenridge, as they thought in
the event of his nomination their candidate
would not be hopeless. Very few Repub-
licans. however. voted. AS many precincts
are long distances from telegraph offices.
the complete returns will not likely be
known before tomorrow. but Owens seems
to be so much in the lead that it will not
require the complete returns to settle the
result.
