BRAvEsT HUNTERS IN WORLD
Rubber Cutters of Central America
Fight Jaguars with Machetes

kuODer CIIterS OF central america
Fight Jaguars with Machetes.
President Roosevelt, Selous, Cor
don Cumming and other world
famous hunters Of big game must
play second fiddle to the rubber
cutters"ofthe Chiapas forests in Gen.
trail America. 1t is the daily business
and pleasure of these men to fight
jaguars and cheetahs with no better
weapon than the long, heavy knife
called a machete in Latin-Ameriean
countries.
Wandering alone in the jungle in
search Of rubber trees, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, the rubber cutter
lives for months among the fercest
OF all American wild beasts until he
learns to treat them with scorn.
At night he swings his hammock
between a couple of trees, rolls q
cigarette and lies down for a com
Portable smoke before DOING off.
Presently he hears the long, snarling
roar Of the jaguar, the sharp bark Of
the alligator, or the catlike whine of
the cheetah.
"Caramba!" he mutters, discon-
tentedly. II suppose I'd better
make a fire."
Perhaps he is too lazy, and just
drops off to sleep, ready to fight any
wild beast that dares to disturb his
dreams. But if he is a cautious man.
he builds a little hut of branches and
lights a wood fire in the doorway.
Then he sings his hammock inside
the hut, places his machete by his
side, and, with the blazing, cracking
lire on one side and the sheltering
roof on the other, sleeps as TRANQUILITY
as though there were no jaguars or
alllgators nearer than the New York
$500"
Seldom does a rubber cutter return
to the civilized settlements without a
few skins of jaguars, slain in deadly
combat with machete or club. He
often seeks out the wild beasts and
fights them for a dinner when he
run short of food.
.r-.
LUZ Mendoza, a famous hunter
and rubber cutter of Spanish Hon
duras, was once attached by a chez
tab when asleep in his hammock. He
woke up to find the beast onhis chest.
digging its claws into his neck. Seiz-
ing it by the throat, he swung out
OF the hammock into the wood fire
burning a few yards away. Over and
over they rolled among the blazing
sticks, until the cheetah, bowling
with pain, broke away and, fled into
the jungle.
Ihe ordinary msnwould'have been
satisfied with that victory. Not so
Mendoza. Covered with wounds and
burns as he was, he caught up his
machete and followed the trail of
that cheetah for two days until he
caught it and slew it after another
desperate battle.
No wonder the beasts of the for
est have a healthy respect for the
rubber cutters of Chiapas! Taught
by bitter experience, they seldom at
tack them now.
Why cont You carry a gum" one
Of these men was asked.
ut is too heavy, and what need?"
was the reply. Il would like to see
the wild beast that l could not kill
with my machete. Why, 1 have
known men to fight a jaguar with
their bare hands and strangle it.
There Is no sport hunting with agun.
It is child's work" :,

have been in progress for nearly a
week confined today to consideration

struck In sympathy with the train
men. What action the directors took
on this new demand is not known, as
their answer will not be given to the
union until tomorrow morning.
A basis of settlement Of all other
differences in the controversy ii is
said, has been agreed on and unless
the company refuses to accedc 10
these new demands of the union an
amicable adjustment of the whole dis

ferred to the shipping bill. which, he
asserted, failed in the upper house.
for reasons | need not mention"
The senator then referred to the
Ohio campaign which has Just ended.
The senator declared that during the
campaign he made the shipping bill
an issue. and everywhere II was well
received.
Il did this. he said, that the pub
lie might know that the bill was not
dead. | looked upon IL as an educa-
tional campaign. The farmers of the
west do not know their interests In
this measure. have never met a
man who. when his interest in this
measure was explained to him care
fully. did not admit his mistake The
charge was made against me by the
opposition in Ohio that ! supported
this bill. told my constituents that
IL they sent me back to the senate |
would again try to pass this bill. and
that | would keep on trying until
got It through.
"One of the most important things
we need today" he continued, ''is an
auxiliary TO our navy. Those of us
who had experience In the Spanish
war discovered this. Our farmers did
not know or appreciate our need in
this direction. told them that if
there should be war between this
and any other important maritime
country their grain would rot in their
granaries without an auxiliary to our
navy. Mr.. Griscom had been a part
ncr In this crime with me. He has
been with me in trying TO stick our
arms up To the shoulders in the pub
lie treasury. at least so We have been
accused. But public opinion will set
tie questions and public opinion will
settle this one. In conclusion, let me
make a prophecy. gentlemen: In your
educational campaign let me say the
senate is all right. and you should
