were in the vase were harmless, but 1 am

Where Tigers Fear Men.

A cheerful place is SOraponjee, in In
da. 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 dampneSS the cattle have
to be driven 10 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 prPwl 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
dsturbers flying in the opposite one
No one stirs out at nighttime without
powerful lantern or torch, for, as a
rule, wild beasts will not come near
light, though this rule does not hold
good in all cases.-New York Herald.

Will Call Democracy Together.

The ARDMOREITE is Informed
that Mr.. S. T. Bledsoe, president
of the Bryan and Sewall demo-
cratic club, will call meeting of
that club in few days for the pur-
pose of recognizing it and to con-
slider matters of interest affecting
the present presidential campaign.
This club was organized in 1894,
as successor to the Allen G. Thur
man club. 1t has kept its organi-
zation intact and has had an
honorable and harmonious career.
There have never been any dissen-
sions in the club and its members
have been practically a unit on all
party questions. 1t was one of the
first clubs in the Territory to have
recognition as a member of the
National Association of democratic
clubs.
1t is important for the democrats
to organize, not only in ArdmOre,
but throughout the Indian Terri
tory, in order to make their
alignment for representation in the
National democratic convention,
which will meet in Kansas City on
July 4. The Aldmore democrats
cannot afford to be behind in their
club organizations and it behoOves
every democrat to work for har-
mony and success of the party.
