Where Tigers Fear Men.

A cheerful place is Soraponjee. in In
dia. The rainfall there often is as
great in one afternoon in the rainy
season as it is in New York state in IL
whole year, and tigers and leopards
are as plentiful as dogs are on New
York's east side. On account of the
tremendous dampncss the cattle have
to be driven to the top of the hills, so
that they shall not get their feet too
wet, and the tigers and leopards climb
to these high attitudes also. because
they are imbued with the kindly desire
to save those cattle from pneumonia
and other ills by eating them carefully
and with due enjoyment.
AS there are no forests on the hills
the tigers prowl about all night in the
open. lying concealed during the day
in the limestone caves. the coal pits
and between the crevices of the rocks.
The residents come upon them in all
manner OF odd hooks and corners so
unexpectedly that the beasts are as
much alarmed as themselves and usu-
ally scamper off in one direction, their
disturbers flying in the opposite one.
No one stirs out at nighttime without 4
powerful lantern or torch, for, as q
rule, wild beasts will not come near n
light. though this rule does not hold
good in all cases.-New York Herald.

him to bring witnesses" who were

outlook retains most of the encOurag-

Favorable reports as to retail distribu-

southern. western and northwestern
markets. due to better weather. Con-
tinued good railroad returns. record
breaking merchandise exports from
New York. and good wheat and fruit
crop reports, except from the central
west. are also features.
Foreign demand seems likely to play
a most important part in the iron ami
steel industries judging from the. re-
ports of advancing foreign markets
and of increasing inquiries upon man
ufacturers. Bessemer pig is firmer than
ever. at almost the top reached in the

products note little if any change.
Flour is in active export demand and

He GOT IN OUT OF THE WET
Councilman StOrCk Makes a Fast Run Be-
tween Fire Department and Barn.

An amusing story Is being circulated
at the expense of George Storck, the
we'll known Councilman from the
Fifth ward.
On Thursday afternoon the old fire
engine which Is kept at the West Side
fire department and which was but
lately put in repair, was taken from
the shed and connected with the water
main. During the consequent jubila-
tions oyer the fine workings of the en-
gine some one thought it would be
good plan to give ]. L. Toller proof
of the strength with which the water
was forced from the engine. No SOON
er said than done, and Mr.. Toller was
as wet as though he had fallen into
river. In revenge, Fire Chief Earl
Davis was also treated to a demon
stration Of how fire is put out.
BY this time the. fun had become
fast and furious and the two victims
were looking for others to share their
plight. Councilman Storck. and this
is where the fun begins, was an. inter
ested and amused spectator of the pro-
leeedings, but when the crowd started
for him, he laughed on the other side
of his mouth and took to fight. BY.
ISLANDERS say it was revelation to see
the honorable City Fathers coattails
cut the air. They say he never stop
| ped running until he had reached the
Kirby Packing House. Finding a
convenient barn he is said to have
crawled under the floor, where in fear
and trepidation he was found about an
! hour later.
And Councilman Toller and Chief
Davis are mean enough to laugh a;
Brother Storck and consider the joke
as being all on him. Meanwhile Mr..
Storck is propounding to himself
Frank Stockton's question, "The Lady
or the Tiger?"
