He Dips His Pen In Gall and Admonishes
 The Tribune.

What did the Hon. Whitelaw Reid mean by his exhortation to Melville E. Stone, head devil Of the Chicago Asso- ciated Press, to leave nothing undOne to cripple The Sun? How could he sit in the warm sunshine of April beneath the beautiful live oaks of San Mateo county, which should inspire nothing but truth and goodness, and indite that winged messenger of malefic import, Cripple The Sun?"
 What does he want to cripple TEe Sun for? Is 1t because he was once The Suns partner i'll fast bound compact which he did not keep? Is 1t because The Sun continued to pay and to meet its cash obligations while he fell by the wayside, ard because we kept on pay ing when he, Wbitelaw, had defaulted: Or is he of that altruistic bent that, crippled himself, and his unhappy Trib- une tenfold crippled and cast down, he would have all his neighbors crippled, too, and most of all that nearest and dearest of Geighbors, The Sun?
 It is fun, Whitelaw, crippling The Sun. It beats all hollow being embassa- dor extraordinary to St. James, with three secretaries, but without the con- firmation of the senate. New York Sun.

 "When the old Shekarry came up with his crowd of beaters he was at first much disappointed that we had killed no deer or wild pigs. Alas. sahibs, cried he, no meat-no meat? He, how. ever, soon cheered up and took great credit to himself for having said there were tigers in the jungle. After the tigers were skinned we went down to the river and killed for the old fellow quite a lot of pigs. We were well sstis. fled with our prizes. the skins of tha TWO tigers. The male measured.

ton ourselves near the junction of the two streams nothing could pass that way without being seen. We LOOK sta' tions about fifty yards apart at point where the jungle became someWnat thin and open, each thrusting into the ground a leafy branch of paraSS to serve as a screen or blind. After long wait we heard faintly in the distance the sound of the tom toms and the shouts of the beaters as they advanced into the jungle.
 Presently we heard a rustling upon the stray leaves in front, and a troop of monkeys, loudly chattering their alarm, came hopping out of the dense jungle.
 "As yet we had seen no deer or other Fes'f1f,Te game, bat the beateIS were still far away. Taking 2 peep from be hind ny screen. was somewhat sur prised 70 see Q large female rigar come gliding cut of the thick jungle, crouch ing close to the ground as she passed Into the open. She was on Brother Bob's side of the jungle and was nov ing straight toward him, apparently more concerned about the commoion behind her than afraid of danger in front. Bob had also seen the tiger and had dropped to one knee behind his screen and leveled his rifle. Every mo- ment I expected to hear the report of Bob's gun, as the tiger was within ten yards of his blind and was moving slowly.
 "Some noise in the jungle frightened the skulking beast and, after a quick backward glance, 1t blindly bounded forward. At the second bound the tiger landed almost on top of Bob, as he crouched behind his fragile screen. h. stantly he fired, thrusting his rifle at the beast without aim. Wounded by the shot, the tiger uttered a howl of rage, dashed aside the screen and struck Bob blow with a fore paw that sent his gun flying and left him stretched sense less on his back.
 "I rushed forward at once to BOb's assistance. As I ran the infuriated beast threw herself upon Bob and be- gan tearing at him with her teeth. Hearing a sound as of cracking bones,
