THE ROYAL BENGAL TIGER.
AS Described in Living Animals Of the
World.

The hill tigers of India are, or were,
much more given to hunting by day than
g. jung, tigers. In The Nilgiri Itlls of
Southern Irdia the lats General Douglas
hamilton said that before night the uScl s
were already about hunting. and that in
the shade OF evening it was dangerous to
ride on a pony-not because the tiger wish
ed to Kill the rider, but because they might
mistake the pony and its rider for sam
bar deer. He was stalked like this more
than once. Often, when stalking samDIr
deei and bex by day, he saw the tigers
doing the same, or after other prey. My
brother Richard" he writes, was out
after a tiger which the hillmen reported
had killed buffalo, about an hour before.
He saw the tiger on first getting to the
ground, and the tiger had seen him. 1t
was lying out in the open watching the
buffalo, and shuffled into the wood, and
would not come out again. Next morning,
when we got to the ground, the tiger WAS
moving from rock to rock. and had drag
ged the body into a nullah. We were up
on the point of starting home when We
observed a number of vultures coming
down to the carcass. The vultures began
to collect in large numbers on the oppo-
site hill. / soon counted fifty go near the
buffalo when some crows, holder than the
rest, flew down, and made a great row
over their meal. All of a sudden they all
flew up and | made certain 1t was the
tiger Then my brother fired, and there he
was, shot right through the brain, lying
just above the buffalo. lie had been
brought down by the noise the crows We're
making. Upon driving the sholas (small
woods on these hills) tigers were often
put on. Sometimes they awaited themsel-
YES of the drive to secure food for them
selves. A wood was being driven, when a
tremendous grunting was heard, and out
rushed an old boar. bristling and savage
Brother was about to raise his rifle, when
growl like thunder stopped him, and a
great tiger with one spring cleared the
nullah. and alighted on the back of the
old boar Such battle then took place
that, what with the growls of the tiger
and the squeals Of the boar, one might be
lieve oneself in another world. ! thought
OF nothing but of how to kill one or tho
other, or both so, as they were rolling
down over and over, about fifty yards from
me on the open hillside. let fly both bar
rels. For second or so the noise went on
then the tiger jumped Off. and the boar
struggled into the nullah close by. The
tiger pulled up, ana cody stared at us
without moving; but his courage seemed
to fall him, and he sprang into the nullah
and disappeared,

THOMAS REEVES FOR SHERIFF.
To the Editor of The Free Press:
Rotation in office may be good way to
train UP a number of men for the discharge
of official duties but to rotate good man
out Of office just because some other man
covets the place, is. from a practice point
of view. not only a risk. but mistake.
The new incumbent has to learn the duties
and methods of the new office. This means
loss of time and energy, even when the
new man possesses the same moral force
as the retiring officer.
Sheriff Reeves has amply justified his
election to the important Office he now
holds. He has been found faithful. i'm
partial, prompt and every way competent
for the discharge of its duties. He has
shown no sympathy with lawbreakers. His
personal character has placed him above
suspicion Of any connivance to defeat the
ends of justice. He is uniformly modest
and unassuming, acting always as the
agent of the people whose servant ne is. a
change in this office this year might be
nothing less than a calamity. We want
in this post a man who will act cheerfully
and promptly in all cases Of violation of
the laws against liquor selling, gambling,
cruelty to animals and houses of III fame.
Mr.. Reeves has been tested; we know
what he will do. The convention can not
nominate Il better man. G..
