secure by calling for 1t, but he will; also
be secured. a.
The wheel is Lowell Diamond, and
the man was making good time I'm get
ting along when his front tire collapsed.
Omcers Thomas j. Smith and Isa Bur-
lingame lost the man, who jum-ed

took the machine TO the station. VIC
tor Shepard and Ernest Matthews were
arrested last night. and both left their
wheels at the station as security that
they would appear in court this NOM
ing.

FOLLOWS THE TIGER,

The tigers of Java have no iackals
to follow them about, but instead they
have two or more attendant peacocks.
NJ. Leclercq, the celebrated traveller,
describes splendid trio of peacoclts,
a tigers escort, who walked majestic
ally in advance, trailing their magni-
ficent feather tails on the ground.
The peacock is very greedy for the
intestinal worms of the animals that
form the tigers prey. And to obtain
these it will follow the tiger even into
higher and colder attitudes. when the
latter goes in search of deer, though
by nature he prefers the torrid re-
gions.

smiles. It was strange thing to Wit ness, but it was all in perfect keeplns with the cruel instincts of their race. Even the knowledge that he is nm self to be the next victim does not spoil the fun of a cruel spectacle TOT barbarian thoroughbred. Here IS an instance:
 A number of Siamese, who had been engaged in a bloody revolt, were cap tured red-handed and sentenced to military execution. A platoon of sol diers was drawn up with loaded mus kets. before whom the doomed men were led out in squads of five or six to be shot, while those who were waiting their turn stood by under guard, look | ing on. When the first volley was fired. the victims, torn by the storm of | bullets, leaped into the air with violent contortions and fell dead. And this, to l the poor wretches who were about to
 go through the same experience, seemed so fine show and so excruc1a- | tingly funny that they were fairly con- vulsed with laughter.
 Such is the humor of savages, and such. doubtless, were the beginnings Of 1 mirth the world over. Strange as It
 may seem, there are many hints Of this barbarous origin in the fun of the most highly civilized. We no longer laugh at really tragic occurrences, it is i true, for other and more humane emo- tions are too strongly excited. But if we chance to see @ ridiculously m1shap | which does not quite rise to the digni- | tv of tragedy-an accident by which
 some one is greatly inconvenienced and
 annoyed without being seriously in
 iured-the remnant of the savage
 breaks loose in us and we laugh till the tears come. Why else are we amused when we see a well-dressed
 man thrown sprawling in the mud or | deluged with dirty water from an up- per window or driven up a tree by a
 cross dog or an ugly bull? Instances
 might be multiplied without limit.
 It is noticeable that children often
 laugh at things which do not amuse
 adults, but, on the contrary, shock and 1 pain them. That is because the child's
 finer sensibilities are as yet imperfect 1 ly developed; he is still near the sav-
 age stage. There is a very prevalent sentiment to the contrary, but this is the fact.
 In proportion as men become truly l civilized, however, their sense of hu-
 nor becomes refined, and they revolt
 at any suggestion of brutality. Yet it
 is worthy of remark that the gentlest
 among us are frequently amused at a picture or a story representing things
 the actual occurrence of which would
 shock us greatly.-Boston Post.

vised to take Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He took them and there was slight change. The first thing noted there was some life left in his helpless body. Next came little feeling in his limbs
 This extended, followed by pricking sensa- tons, until at last the blood began to course freely, naturally and vigorously through his body, and the helplessness gave way to re- turning strength, the ability to walk re- turned and he qDas restored to his old time health.
 The above is the substance of the first article published by the Monitor. Now fol-
 low some clippings, taken from the same
 paper two years afterward, and there is not the slightest shadow of doubt, in view of
