How to Fill Caved-In Chest-Give

A hollow, caved-in chest IS a beauty
woe for which the afflicted one is herself
responsible. If one is in i'll health it is
difficult matter. Disease will cause the
lungs to shrink and contract, and depres-
sion of the chest is then unavoidable.
Full, perfect development of the chest
is as natural as red lips or bright eyes

The Youngest Peace officer.
I'm the Arizona Republican


The youngest peace officer in the United
States lives at Congress. He Is Richard
Boscha, fourteen years old, the son Of
Deputy Sheriff Pete Boscha who has been
deputy sheriff under all administrations
in Yavapai county for twenty years-a
fearless and efficient officer.
Richard Boscha is small for a boy Of
fourteen. He has black hair and eyes and
a look of great intelligence. He came to
Phoenix recently, bringing the sixteen
year-old son Of a county official who had
become infatuated with the "Coontown
400" and ran away with 1t. Young Boscha
was asked If the young man was glad to
go back. NO" he said, he didn't want to
come, but there was no way out of it for
him." Another boy the stepson of we'll
known resident Of Phoenix, also ran away
with the show. He was with it at Con-
boys were to get 81 a day and board. Their
part in the performance was assistant in
the erection Of the tent The next stop
ping place after Congress the boys under
stood was to be Denver. There was to be
five days of nothing to do but eat and draw
salaries. In consequence, they desired to
remain with the show a few days, anyhow.
Young Mr.. BosCha first came into promi-
hence about year ago by the arrest of a
Mexican for whom the officers had been
looking for some time. He and another
deadly, for the favor OF a senorita. One Of
them was wounded and the other left the
country. Some months afterward this lit
tie boy, then only thirteen years old, found
the duelist, and at the point Of gun took
him into camp.

the impact knocked Akers silly, but it
hurt the tiger worse.
THE tiger fell on top Of Akers. but it
seemed to be paralyzed. 1t just crouched
there without moving. i was only ten feet
distant, and / took careful aim at the ami
mails temple and fired. The bullet plowed
its brain and 1t rolled over dead We ex-
amined the animal and found that the
bullet from Akers' gun had passed through
its lungs and had struck its backbone
somewhat back of it's shoulders, and had
followed the backbone down as far as the
loins before exploding. 1t was the stroke
on the backbone that paralyzed the ami
NAL and thereby saved Akers' life. Akers
was pretty badly bruised up. but not Sc
riously injured. Three coolies were killed
and several others injured.
I'VE found that the tiger Donaldson had
shot had been struck squarely in the heart,
Both animals bore numerous scars which
they had received in other hunts. Those
two animals had killed hundreds of China
men.
The Chinese very seldom hunt tigers.
They generally entrap them, and they are
skillful In making traps The favorite de-
vice Is deadfall, made by placing log so
back when the trap is sprung. But when
ever they do hunt tigers they make their
ccnvicts do all the dangerous work. The
tigers kill more coolies than the coolies

My troubles with the tigers were no soon

put them in prison in place of the convicts
who had been killed. / told him that we
would not stand that kind of an arrange
ment that l would have him killed If he
tried to take my coolies. He then refused
to pay me the tiger skins he said he would
give if I would kill the two tigers, and

and claws of my tigers.
