"A Tigress Loves a Puppy.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
During Capt. Whites travels in
Cochin China, the then viceroy gave
him magnificent tigress five feet long
and three feet high.
! On reaching Saigon, where he found
dogs dirt cheap,he used to give his pet
one of these animals every day. The
dog was thrown alive into her cage.
She would play with it awhile. as a cat
plays with a mouse; then her eyes would
begin to glisten aud her tail TO CULVER;
she seized her prey by the scruff of the
neck, aud IN minute or two it was all
up with poor "boW wow"
One day, however, a puppy, seeming
ly i'll no way different from the COM
| mon herd Of puppies, instead of tamel y
submitting to his fate, showed tight. 1t
snapped at the tigress' nose, and bit it
/ till the blood came. The tigress, far
from resen ting the attack. seemed to
| treat it as joke; and when the spirited
| little dog grew tired of the flu n, the
! tigress patted it as if it had been cub
| OF her own. Then the two lay down
side by side and had comfortable nap.
| Thenceforth, they were the best of
| friends, and TO numor this queer friend
| ship Capt. White had small hole cut
In the tigress cage, that the puppy
| might go and come as 1t pleased. Ii
often took a trot abroad, but it always
J returned to its dog devouring friend.
| TO test the extent of the tigress' af-
lection, strange dog was offered to il
| one day at dinner-time. and was then
hastily snatched from its hungry jaws,
| and the puppy friend thrown into the
cage. But, strange to tell, friendship
triumphed over the pangs of hunger
and that, not on this occasion only, but
whenever the captains crew saw fit to
repeat the experiment.

At Bowers shanty they didn't read Dante,
or mediate on Kant
And intele c,ual pursuits you might admit
were scant,
But down to Bowers the evening hours were
spent in pastimes light.
Each night the men begun with cards and
enoed in a fight
And in q broil like this one night did Bow
ers' four-year Tad,
blue-eyed boy with fiaxen curls. sturdy,
roguish lad
His fathers pistol take, in play, and swing it
round his head
The charge by accident went off, and Hank
Malone dropped dead
'That imp Thad Bowers" cried Hanks old
pard, ''has murdered Hank Malone,
/ see him shoot, the little brute! The crime
he can't diSown.
Now take him out an string him up, and
lift him high an dry.
In cold blood has he killed my pard, the little
wretch mus dle"'
Yes take him out an string him upr yelled
those hali-drunken men.
1--WE II send the imp ut double quick where
he won't shoot again
Sam Flint we We made you sheriff here:
Now show what you can do,
We've got hanging on our hands, we give
the JOB to you.
Come boy" said Sam, 1.-THE time has come
that must stop your fun.
And now. my young Kid, now guess that all
your pranks are DONE
The little lad was wild with fear, and sought
his fathers arm
A refuge that should never fail to guard a
child from harm.
The mnudlin father. crazed with drink, he
coiild not comprehend.
And so the lad was sllatchvd away and told
TO meet his end.
IAN tan say little prayer. my mama
teached TO me-:
Eyes say your foolishness," said Sam-"and

THE STRANGE ADVENTURE S
OF ERAsTUS WEBER.

When Frastus Weber was in the
wilds of Central Africa and he saw a
venomous serpent leaping toward him
he would whisk out pair of dentists
forceps, which he always carried with
him, seize the serpent by the head and
extract his poison fangs before the
snake had any idea of what he was do
ing. He did this repeatedly, ami can
vouch for it as true, because he told me
himself.
He managed tigers very easily. He
had large number Of little mirrors
attached to a spiral spring. When
ever tiger leaped upon him,
which a tiger was very apt to do
every few days, he would adroitly
slip this spring over the tigers
nose. This would bring the mirror
directly in front Of the the tigers eyes,
and he would see his own image re-
Elected in the n.irror, and taking it for
another mad tiger, would chase after it
on the eailop. The tiger would keep up
this chase until he fell down and died
from exhaustion. In the meantime
Erastus Webber would sit down in per-
feet ease and fan himself under palm
tree. This story was also told to me
by Erastus himself. and so can be re-
lied upon in every detail.
When ErautuS was in South America
he said he never had any trouble with

The worse the accident the better it is
