the event and her sensations in sim
pie but graphic manner.
IT am the proud slayer Of the largest
tiger ever shot in india" she exclaims
with a girlish enthusiasm, land he fell
at my first shot. He measured 10 feet
inches, has perfect coat, and teeth
two inches long. 1t took sixteen men
to carry him to camp and did 1t all
myself and it was such a difficult shot.
But must settle down and tell you all
about it. I am sort Of big bug IN
camp now. The natives bow down and
kiss the hem of my dress, for am the
first lady who has ever shot In these
great jungles. All, I am a lucky beg
gar. So just listen while I tell you all
about it.
1--WE heard tiger had killed lot of
deer in a piece Of bamboo jungle about
six miles off, so Timmins, my husband,
got about forty beaters together and
we took up our position near an open
space, while the beaters went into the
jungle with drums and horns, driving
six buffalo in front Of them, and made
hideous noises. After about half an
hour, when the beat was nearly up to
my tree, I saw what I first took for a
deer gliding through the high grass
and bamboo, when suddenly an open
ing revealed huge tiger to my aston
ished gaze. He was going full bat, so
I saw it was case Of then or never,
and although it was very blind shot,
I let blaze at the vanishing stripes as
they flashed through the bamboos.
"A roar and rush told me the mon
ster was hit, but could see nothing,
as the jungle was so dense. When the
shikar came up told him where had
fired and got down, and with loaded
rifles we approached the spot where
about ten yards from where I fired lay
the very finest monster ever saw, and
his great striped body did indeed look
like a slain king Of the forest. The
shikar and all but Rugged in our ex-
citement, and when the beaters came
up our hurrahs and jubilant exclama-
tions brought Timmins tumbling down
out of his tree, and his joy and pride
quite touched me. The monster was
indeed glorious with his 10 feet inches
spread out to their full, his gums roll
ed up showing his enormous teeth and
his skin in its prime, and oh, so beau
tifully yellow and black.
II had already shot three bears, two
panthers and tiger, besides all sorts
Of deer and other smaller beasts, and
when I saw that monster lying there
slain by my own hands it was the
proudest and happiest moment Of my
life, and I shall never get over the
feeling Of exultation."-St.P Paul Pion-
eer Press.

extensive loss of life has ever been re-

hear the oldest settlers Of the district

many cows being killed at time.
Fortunately no human life was lost,
and happily for the owners, the cows
were all insured and no difficulty arose
about the payment. The men who re-
moved the hides from the dead cows
remarked that dark streaks could be
seen under the SKINS

A Live Wire Fence.

The Scientific American gives the
following account of an accident which
overlook herd Of COWS during thun-
der storm last fall in Painfield, III.
1T would seem that the unfortunate
creatures had drifted toward wire
fence, when the lightning fell upon
tree standing about thirty feet from
the fence, causing the death Of twen-
ty-eight Of them. AS there were no
signs whatever on the fence of the di-
rect effect Of lightning, it must be
supposed that the cows killed fell vic
tins to the so-called return stroke.
1t is well-known that persons standing
near a conductor occasionally receive
a more or less severe shock when the
lightning strikes some neighboring OBJ
ject. This Is readily explained If we

A REMARKABLE ALIBI.
Shrewd Trick of a Murderer to Prove
Himself Elsewhere.

Shrewd Trick of a Murderer to Prove
Himself Elsewhere.
What is to this day one of the most
remarkable cases of Identification In
the history of the law courts, happen
ed nearly 100 years ago in Europe,
says the New York Press. In the year
1903 there arrived in Florence traveller
accompanied by servant They took
quarters in the best hotel. The strang-
er asked the proprietor how he could
amuse himself during the several days
stey in town. The proprietor regretted
exceedingly that there was but little
choice in amusements, the season be-
ing nearly over. But trial for MUIR
der and arson, he said, was going on,
and IL the honorable visitor would but
attend the court doubtless he would be
interested to the same extent as was
the populace for miles around.
The stranger took the advice and
managed to get seat in the front row
of the spectators benches in the court
room. The defendant protested his In
nocence, and asserted that at the time
the crime was committed he was not In,
Florence but in Rome.
Circumstantial evidence piled high
against him, however, and his case
seemed hopeless. Suddenly his eyes
met those Of the stranger.
"Your honor" cried the prisoner, II
have lust found the man who can
prove me innocent" Then he asked
permission to address the stranger
openly and to put several questions to
him.
The permission was granted, but the
stranger said he had never seen the
defendant before.
But" asked the accused, "were you
not in Rome in February year ago"
What Of it?" was the return.
"Do you remember man in a blue
suit who carried your trunk one stormy
night to the Hotel Roma?"
II do" the stranger replied.
"Do you remember that on the way
from the post wagon to the hotel the
man told you he had fought In the
Spanish army, and he showed to you
sabre cut on the forehead which he
received while in that service?"
"That, too, is correct, and I dismiss
ed you with a French coin, not having
changed enough money to the currency
of the country" said the" traveller.
The prisoner brushed his hair back
from his forehead and showed over the
left temple deep scar.
The crime for which he was on trial
had been committed In Florence on
the very day the two men were togeth-
er in Rome. The judge accepted the
alibi and acquitted the prisoner.
Three weeks later three highwaymen
were captured following a robbery Of
the post wagon bound south from Flor
ence. The three prisoners were the
traveller, his servant and the man with
the scar. The traveller" and his SER
want had gone to Florence merely to
get their confederate out of his scrape,
and the trick would have succeeded
had not the three continued their ope-
rations and been caught. All three
were sentenced to death.

MUSIC AND THE GIRLS.
Character as Shown by Ones Liking
for Various Composers.

Character as Shown by Ones Liking
for Various Composers.
An English reader Of character says
that girls nature, can be told from
the music she plays and the composers
she shows most partiality for.
The girl who affects Beethoven is i'm
practical, bound up in dreams and not
apt to make good helpmeet.
The girl who Is devoted to Strauss
is frivolous and light-minded. And she
who processes affinity for Verdi is sem
timental, excitable and shrinkingly
sensitive.
The girl who loves Offenbach will be
giddy and whimsical.
Liszt implies daring and ambition,
Mozart prudishness and overmuch con-
ceit, Gottschalk the affected and super
fetal, Gounod the indolent and lack
adaisical.
A liking for Flotow means that the
girl is commonplace, apt to travel only
well-beaten tracks and without sense
OF numOr.
A liking for Wagner denotes an ex-
aggerated, irrational temperament, not
easily controlled.
Great partiality for ragtime music
marks girl as hare-brained and little
to be depended upon.
The girl who plays 1.-THE Battle Of
Prapue" "Anyil Chorus' and "Mon-
astery Bells will be a good practical
wife, able to keep the larder and nur-
sery in order.
But for all-round capable qualities Of
both an inspiring and practical nature
the girl who dotes on Home, Sweet
Home" can best be counted upon. She
will be affectionate, non-extravegant
and good companion.

s,aes In tho Street Car.

He got into a down town car that
was crowded. 1t was late in the after
noon during the rush hours. 1t was eV-
ident that he had hit the flowing bowl
one too many. 1t was difficult mat
ter to tell whether his cravat was his
hat band or his hat band was his era
vat.
And vet, considering the load OF re-
sponsibility, there was certain rem
nant of dignity about him which was
preserved by mastery effort.
Seizing strap in the sardine car ne
oscilliated back and forth unsteadily'
meanwhile gazing thoughtfully into the
upper portion Of the car. The other
sardines in the car were pressing him
rather snugly; this braced him up
some.
Suddenly as he gazed his face bright
ened and he suddenly bawled out:
Conductor! shay, c'nductor-l
wants you!"
whats the trouble?" demanded the
conductor, with some asperity, elbow
ing his way toward the man.
"Where'sh zhe Sears buiring"
Sears building? It's not on TINS
line"
There was pause, during which the
man continued to gaze into the upper
portion Of the car.
"Do you want the Sears buildins!
went on the conductor.
NO." replied the man.
"Oh, you dunno what you want
snapped the conductor, as he turned
away in disgust.
"Yesh, I do" declared the man with
conyiction-"I want spacesh. I want
spaacesh-thash wot want-spacesh!
All the car was listening by now.
The sandwiched jag pointed an un-
steady finger toward the direction OF
his gaze. A great many eyes followed
It. There in the corner OF the car
fianked by an advertisement OF SIX
plates Of soup for 10 cents and by an
other setting forth the merits OF snoe
polish, was this sign standing out IN
bold letters:

SLAUGHTER OF BRITISH TROOPS

London, April 24.-The war Office
yesterday received from Brig. Gen.
Manning, in command of the British
forces in Somaliland, dispatch dated
twenty miles west of Galadi, Somali-
land, April IS, as follows:
Il regret to report that the flying
column under command of Col. Cobbe,
which left Galadi April 10 to recon
noitre the road to Walwal, had a most
serious check April H. In the morn
ing Col. Cobbe was at Gumburru.
forty miles west of Galadi, and had
decided to return to Galadi, owing to
the serious difficulty in finding tho
road to Walwal, and to the shortness
of water. He was about TO leave his
zareba protected camp when firing
was heard in the direction of a small
party, under the command of Can't.
Olivey, which had been sent in a west
erly direction to reconnoitre.
At 9:15 in the morning, Col. Cobte
dispatched Col. Plunkett with 100 men
OF the second battalion of the kings
African Rifles, IS of the Second Sikhs
and two Maxim guns for the extrica.
ton of Capt. Olivey if necessary. AS
a matter of fact. Capt. Olivey had not
been engaged. Col. Plunkett. on Join
ing the detachment, continued to push
on.

also admitted N the same manner G,
u. Hammer, an expert in the employ of
the Mosler Safe company, with whom
she had made an arrangement to
meet her at the department At her
direction, Hammer opened the safe in
the room; and she took therefrom all
the papers, records and articles of
every kind and carried them away
with her.
Immediately upon learning what
had been done, l directed the fourth
assistant postmaster general to send
Two inspectors to your house to de-
mand, in the name of the postmaster
general, the delivery to them of any
papers or documents or other ma
terlals which had been distracted
from the safe. This demand was re-
fused by Mrs Tyner; and she likewise
refused to permit inspectors to see
you or to see and examine papers in
her presence. Mrs. Tyner further
stated to the postoffice inspectors
that she committed this act with YOUR
knowledge and by your decision.
Further comment ON this transaction.
on my part is not necessary.
The facts in the case will be sub
mltted to the attorney general of the
United States for such action in the
premises as he may deem proper"
1t is suspected at the department
that the papers taken from the safe
have some connection with the recent
conduct of the Office Some weeks
ago turf investment concern, whose
affairs were aired in court, alleged its
operations were sanctioned by the as
s1stant attorney general of the post
office department Charges involving
the office OF the assistant attorney gen
eral and lawyer formerly connected
with that office, were ventilated very
generally at that time, and an investi-
CATION was ordered by the postmaster
general. This was really the incep-
ton of the investigation that has
spread into every part of the depart
ment. The complaints crystaIIized
into formal request for Tyner's
resignation, signed by Postmaster
General Payne on March 9. last
Tyner had been in exceedingly bad
health for long time and had visited
the office only at rare intervals He
is suffering from an unusually severe
case of paralysis, and in considera-
ton of this fact, the request for his
resignation was based on his ill
health.
The announcement of Wednesdays
developments were made by post
master General Payne late yesterday
afternoon. In a voice that trembled
