English Sentiment Backs the Peo-
pie of the United

StutcS.
London, March 29.-British senti-
ment is now almost unanimously in
favor of vigorous action by the United
States to end the war in Cuba.
The sudden outburst OF sy mpathy in
the London press simply reflects what
one hears in private everywhere. Nc
Kinley will have the full moral APP
prevail of the British government to
put n stop to Spanish savagery in the
island.
1t is believed by the officials of the
British foreign Office that, in spite Of
her passionate declarations, Spain will
yield to the inevitable and surrender
Cuba, if Mckinley will aid her in doing
so with some appearance of dignity.
The Journals Madrid correspondent
indicates that if Europe declines to
support Spain against the United
States, she will retire from Cuba. 1t
is believed that Mckinley is already
aware of this aspect of the situation.

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

The practice of our ~forefathers in
rolling up "a piece Of paper to be used
as "a lighter has been utilized by an
inventor for the manufacture of
matches. The paper takes the place
Of the wooden stick, and is not only
lighter, but cheaper. Long strips Of
strong porous paper an inch wide are
immersed in n solution of wax, stear-
inc and other substances, which
causes it to stick together and to burn
with a bright, smokeless, odorless
flame. The strips then pass to a ma
chine which winds them into long,
thin tubes and cuts them into strips
of the ordinary length. The strips are
then dipped into the PHOSPHORUS
preparation to form the head, which

just n Tiger story.

Cornhill Magazine: The shikari was
. little stunned by the tigers on
slaught; he recovered consciousness,
however, in q few minutes, when he
found himself lying on the tigers back
and in full gail toward the heart of the
Jungle.
Fortunately, he was o seriously
hurt, as the tiger had grabbed him by
the arm just above the elbow. There
he lay quite helpless; what was he to
doP Any movement on his part might
have made his condition far worse; so
he lay perfectly quiet, and shut his
eyes as IL he were dead. Soon the tiger
arrived at his den, which was no more
than a hollow scooped in the sand at
the foot Of q large tree. There the
tiger deposited him and covered him
over loosely with some sand. Luckily
for him his face was uppermost when
he fell, otherwise he would have had
no other alternative between death by
suffocation and death from the tiger
IL he had dared to move. As it was, he
could manage to breathe gently, and
even TO have an occasional glimpse un-
der his eyelids.
After this operation of partial burial
the tiger ran ahead n few yards, but
returned instantly, as IL he had some
misgivings in his mind. Seeing, how
ever, oil safe, he bounded forth, but
again returned to make assurance
doubly sure. He kept up this method
Of self persuasion for n few times, till,
feeling quite certain about the matter,
he finally went away OF his mission.
After waiting a few minutes to see
that the tiger had really gone, our
shikari sprang up and climbed the
tree just over the den, and hid himself
well among the leaves. He had not
long to wait for the denouement, for
the tiger soon returned, accompanied
by n tigress and n couple OF cubs like
. generous and exemplary husband
and father, the tiger evidently scorned
20 eat on the sly).
They came along with many n joyful
catlike gambol in anticipation Of the
great feast, and found the den
empty! Such n lamentation over the
1ost dinner then arose as was never
heard before in the whole animal
kingdom; In fact, the tigers persisted
10 long in their piteous cries hat our
,hikari began to have some doubts
as to the righteousness of d~efrauding |
The poor creatures of their hard
earned wages; but he was prevented
rom offering himself to them in n mo-
nent of misguided m~agnanimity by
the thought Of his own wife and chill
iren, whose claim upon him was OBJ
hously higher.
