ing characteristic story concerning
him. Il was having tiffin with His
Highness one day." he said, when
news was brought to us that tiger
lad been seen about a mile out of
Iohore. The Sultan asked me if l
would pardon him while he went and
changed, and left me to myself for
a little while Within a couple of
hours he reappeared, looking as un-
concerned as though he had done no
more than go out to have a look at
a favorite horse. l was not little
surprised to hear from him that he
had been out and shot the tigerl
Sure enough, the big striped brute
was brought up on the lawn for our
inspection not many minutes after.
That was, it seemed to me, most
remarkable interruption to our tiffin,
but ii was looked upon as a most
trifiing matter by my host"
Knowing that the subject of sport
is over dear to the heart of the aver
age man, and that big game hunters
the world over are always eager to
game, His Highness kindly granted
me an interview on the subject of his
own experiences in tiger and elephant
shooting.
Il consiler tiger-shooting the best
sport in the world if done on foot"
said the Sultan. Il do all my shoot
ing on foot, whether | am after tiger
or elephant. Elephant shooting is
good sport, but it is not up to tiger
shooting i'll any particular.
'Jn July, 1898, l shot my first ele-
phant at a place not more than ten
miles out of Johore. A shot from my
12-bore struck him in the forehead,
and with scream of anger he
charged down upon us. BY the time
he reached the spot where he had
sighted us, however. we were else
where. and had temporarily escaped
his fury. A second shot struck the
big brute near the eye, and caused
him to stand still for a moment In
stantly l let go two charges from my
.577 Express, both taking effect near
the ear. AS these did not seem
enough to settle him, treated him to
an explosive bullet from a Lee-Met-
ford sporting rifle, making the fifth
charge which he had received Even
that was not sufficient. and five more

Perfumed Writing Paper.

l have just learned a most clever
way of perfuming ones writing paper,
which every fashionable woman
wants to have suggest delicate frag-
rance. The same method, l find, is
excellent for handkerchiefs and wells,
and even gloves, at the same time
preserving them admirably. A thick
blotting pad is all that is required, all

carefully moistened with ones favor

kerchiefs, and gloves are slipped in
between the pages, from which is
transmitted a most delicate odor. 1t
is not necessary to have a large pad,
as to preserve the fragrance it should
be kept in an air tight box, and one
may even use several of the small
square pads, one for each article, and
wnich fit in any box.

keen power of seenting his enemy
Capt. Syers of Selangor, who was
a noted sportsman and perhaps the
best known great game shot of the
native states. met his DEATH after
twenty-six years of experience in the
jungles, while hunting sladang in Pa
hang, the native state north of Johore.
The captain shot at a great sladang,
which charged him and, striking him,
tossed him against the bough of a
tree, catching him on its horns as he
came down again. He died while en-
route to point where medical attend
ance could be procured. When the
sladang which cost Capt. Syers his
life was finally killed. he was found
to be marked with no fewer than
eighteen bullet wounds. An immense
slaeSng head which adorns the top
of tAe staircase of the Singapore club,
gives the casual globe-trotter some
idea of the enormous size of the beast.
"Yes," continued his highness,
there is still plenty of big game in
Johore, and l am sure big-game hunt
ers will always find cordial Welcome
awaiting them there"
do the tigers bother the natives
much?" l asked.
We'll, they keep pretty well away

Stances answered the sultan. "Of
course, they get a native now and
then who has been unlucky enough to
run across a tiger in the jungle, and
they trouble the people a great deal
by continually carrying off cattle and
pigs. l allow my subjects to trap
tigers and they frequently catch one
in that way, but have forbidden the
use of spring guns on account of the
danger to the people"
Where do l shoot a tiger?" The
sultan laughed heartily at the ques-
tion. why, anywhere so as to get
him. AS soon as he is wounded he
will either wait for you to come to

In the new frivols of fashion there
may be noted these things:
Street coats with three little capes.
The little lace cap, very close on
the shoulders.
Lace dresses with silk Innings an
silk underslips of all colors.
The beef eater hat with straps of
stitched cloth on the crown.
The Cleopatra hat brim, turned up
and embroidered on the outside.
Street sleeves with capes at the
shoulder and capes at the hand.
The very low necked evening
gown with three caps for the sleeves.
Wide scarfs that come from the
sides of the hat and tie under the
chin.
The skirt trimmed with three
founces, each a third a depth of the
skirt.
The gowns of point d'esprit with de-
lightful ruffies trimmed with narrow
blue velvet.
Flounces of black insertion with
bands of green ribbon trimming on
the upper part.
The military hat turned up at the
sides and back, but pulled down to a
sharp point in front, either trimmed
or untrimmed.
Hats made very elegant with droop.

Raspberry Red.

One of the new fancies are rasp-
berry reds in pale tones, in dotted
swiss and bati5te and are considered
extremely smart for forenoon wear.
They are almost invariably trimmed
with black laces marked over with
white floss and just a little gold
thread, and are transparently inset
in long lines upon the skirt and bod
ice. The effect over white silk under
drapery is most delightful. Black
lace hats and roses to match, or, a
wreath of raspberries with foliage,
are a charming harmony. and as this
color has not been ht.ckneyed it car
ries a decided eclat. Geranium red
hats and parasols add great possibili-
ties to the pongee, biscuit and white
Casino gowns, making them more
sought after than ever.

can never tell how close one may have
to get to the beasts"
The sultan, as has been recounted,
bagged his first tiger in January, 1898.
Before the close of the year he had
killed his second, and in March, 1899,
he added the skin of a third to his
collection of trophies.
my third tiger" said the sultan, in
answer to a question, 81 shot not far
from the water works at Johore. He
was driven in such a way that he
emerged from the jungle at a point
not thirty yards from the spot where
l was waiting for him. l fired and
struck him in the back, breaking his
spine. Firing again, hit the brute in
the head, the bullet entering the skull
and rolling him over on the grass. AS
he was full-grown animal and very
large one, another shot was neces-
sary to finally finish him"
His hignness killed still another
tiger in 1899, and two in 1900. In 1901
he killed two more, which brought the
list up to ten. The sultan kindly fur
nished me with photographs of nine
of the dead tigers, and one which was
shot by Mrs George Pauling, an ex-
perienced African lion shot, who was
guest of his highness in 1901.-Fred-

Steaks in Rubber Pockets.

Walters at fashionable summer re-
sort hotel were recently found to have
supplied their working jacket with in
side rubber pockets. Into these they
would slip choice yiands from the
kitchen, which they would then serve
to customers, and the proceeds went
into their own pockets. Every rubber
pocketed man was of course dis.
charged, and the familiar cry of Rub

The Newest Jewelry.

The newest jewelry is essentially
artistic both in design and in the
exquisite shadings OF gold which are
the most sought-after effects of the
moment. Flowers are popular motifs
and lend their graceful forms and
lovely hues with artistic adaptability
to brooches and buckles. The bios
som itself frequently forms the cen
ter, the stem and leaves being twisted
round to give the outline.
Sometimes the stalk forms the
greater part of the design, with a
cluster of the chosen flowers-lilies
of the valley. sweet pea, hyacinth,
clematis or orget-me-nots-at one
side.
Beautiful heads, or complete female
figures, often strarge and weird de
signs, appear in many of the larger
ornaments.

shooting and horse racing. The fact
that the Sultan, although but little
more than four years has elapsed

which he has killed within that time.

The Iowa river is again booming and
the lands in the river bottoms are fast

The present rise is due more to the

is an unprecedented demand in the

that the unusually big market is due to
the fact that the strawberry crop was
short. and that there We're hardly any
cherries to speak of. consequently the
farmers wives have had but little
fruit to can. The merchant says that
he could easily dispose of fifty cases
a day if he could get them, and that

ment from this city. he sold ten cases
