THE TIGER WAS PLEASED.
tanned Jungle Monarch Lets
Ignorant Cossack Escape.

A Cossack, ignorant of the French
language and equally ignorant of
fear, was recently hired at Moscow
by the lion tanner Pezon to clean the
cages of his wild beasts. Their I'M
derstanding, or misunderstanding
was arranged by means of gestures
and dumb show, and Pezon thought
that the man thoroughly understood
what he had to do, relates a London
paper. The net morning the Tartar
began his new duties by entering
with bucket, sponge and broom, not
the cage of a tame beast, as his mas
ter had done, but of a splendid I'M
tanned tiger, which lay asleep on the
floor. The fierce animal awoke and
fixed its eyes upon the man, VINO
calmly proceeded to wet his large
sponge, and, unterrified, to rub down
the tiger as if it had been a horse or
a dog; while the tiger, apparently
delighted by the application of cold
water, rolled over On it's back,
stretched out its paws, and purring,
offered every part of its body to tine
Cossack, who washed it as cor .pla-
Gently as a mother bathes her in FAINT.
Then he left the cage, and could
have repeated the hazardous EXPERT
ment upon another savag beast
from the desert had not Pez6 drawn
him off with difficulty.

SAT DOWN, ANYHOW.

The dignity of the supreme court was

port.
1t was during the argument on the
Northern Securities suit, aE0 the interest
in the case h< brought so many law
yers into court that it became necessary
to provide additional seats within the
rallied space reserved Tor members of
the supreme court bar. Chairs were
brought from the marshal's Office and
the clerks Office, and to accommodate
a late arrival chair used by one of the
pages who sit in tbs space behind the
justices seats was tahen during the
temporary absence of the yCungster on
an errand.
Now, this page is of particularly
chunky and solid build, and when he re-
turned to his station, and without To-
ticing the absence of the chair, pumped
himself down in the place it should have
been. there was d sound that might fifty
be described as a dull, sickenirg thud.
1t was sufficiently startling to bring one
of the dignified justices to his feet anC
to cause another to rise partly from his
chair. while even the attorney general
paused for a moment in the delivery Of
his argument

Fer DEyorEEs CT DRESS
Pretty Combinations In Winter Goa
tunes for Home and Out
door Wear.

For dreSSy afternoon wear, nothing
IS in such good taste as gown Of what
S known as. luStrous faced cloth,
which, If for walking, would better be
of rich dark color or some of the
tan shades or even violet, and made
rich by furs either in sets" or trim
mings- Besides, an almost unlimited
amount of lace is used upon some OF
these cloth gowns
Combinations of the long haired.
silky zibelines and plain broadcioth are
novel features on some of the smartest
winter models. The effect is like a
fur trimmed gown, as the new zibelines
bear striking resemblance to fur,
says the New York Tribune.
The latest fad is to wear a short
Elton jacket of fur that will either
match or contrast with the cloth, vel
vet or velveteen gown. With all the
shades of brown, which are many and
rich looking, jackets OF mink Tin the
darkest shades) are worn. With gray
and black gowns, sable, mole and
squirrel jackets are worn, unless the
wearer prefers all black, and then
baby lamb is most attractive.
While there is a great run on violet
shades (and they are so rich in vel
vets), there is a pronounced prefer
ence for reception gowns of green the
exact shade Of emerald. 1t lights
up" beautifully by gas or electric light,
the rays playing among the soft half
shades and high lights of the draped
velvet with wonderful effect; and
white flowers, pearls, emeraldS or dia-
monds are appropriately worn with
such gown.
For house dresses, yellow, in all
shades from cream to rich orange, is
fad of the season. It is becoming to
blond or brunette, looks we'll by gas
light or day, and is wonderfully effect
I've with soft meshed laces, either in
white, cream or butter color.
The fichu finish for gowns or the
bertha, either, is much favored for
iemitoilette, as it leaves the corsage
slightly decollete, thus rendering it
suitable for the house or for theater
wear with hat and wrap.
A new idea, or rather an old one re-
vived, is that the hat must match the
gown, thus necessitating the posses
sion of as many hats as gowns. 1t Is
artistic and effective, and can be man
aged with little extra cost, if one has
taste and skill for managing one or
two black and white hats with differ
ent trimmings, which can be adjusted
| by def fingers in few moments.
But, whatev.r the style or shape OF
the hat, to be :lodish it must be worn
lifted rather high from the head. that
is, if the wearer's face will admit o.
it. This effect may be obtained by a
| ''barette'' of velvet inside the crown,
| if the hair is not worn high.

The MAN BEHIND THE BABY.


You can hardly read a paper without
being sure to find
5ome sentimental poem on the man who
Is behind.
Hoes. cannon. picks and muskets and
some more are on the list,
But the man behind the baby in its go
cart has been missed
The others may be heroes and quite use
full in their ways,
And more or less deserving of a poets
fervid praise;
But they cannot hold candle to the man
we love to meet
Behind the cunning baby in its Co-cart on
the street.
With all the pride and dignity new papas
will display.
And nerved against the silly jokes his
funny friends essay,
And feeling responsible he pushes ON
its trips
The go-cart and the baby with the bottle
at its lips.
Il Ii an inspiration to a bashfnl single
man
To see this small procession with the
bottle In the van;
And notice how the women who are pass
ing have to stop
And gaze with admiration on the image
of its pop.
shows to baby's cries:
He'll find the pin that's pricking and he'll
keep away the flies,
And he'll adjust the bottle when it tum-
bles from it's place
With true heroic dignity BETTING to the
case.
He'll nicely dry the baby's chin and wipe
its little nose,
And soothe it, oh, so motherly, and
smooth it's rumpled clothes,
And never lose his temper though it puZ-
zles him lot
To know just what's the matter with
the screaming little tot.
He'll talk to 1t the prettiest of baby talk
until
The baby thinks he is fool-as smartest
babies will;
And he will cut up caperS just to make
the darling smile,
Regardless of the people who may won
der at his style.
But when the litsle carriage has a double
load of joy
Two bottles and two babies and-not one
of them a boy
The man behind that trouble may no,
show it in his phiz,
But all the same a hero, and q big one
too, he is.
You may talk about the courage of the
man behind the gun,
Who often is so frightened that he hasn't
strength to run;
But for a finer courage-when his wife
is tired out
The man behind the baby is the man te
brag about.

The storm broke at IL o'clock
The yellow slips distributed by
news agency contained the following
paragraph in double-leaded type:
s'11:05 a. m. Andrus Carmody, Pal
rner j. Morton, r. J. Kent and Simon
Pence cannot be found. They were
Last seen in Mr.. Morton's offices about
four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Their relatives know nothing of
their whereabouts. The police and
detective force have been notified"
A message of similar purport was
recorded on the tape.
Any description of the scenes
which followed ON the floor of the
Stock Exchange would be deemed
exaggeration by those who never
have seen speculative panic sweep
all before it. The tempest was
loosed. Before it's fury the sturdy
financial oaks bent in the blast. The
puny speculative saplings were up
rooted and borne away on the wings
of the cyclone. Staid old men who
had not been seen on the floor of the
exchange for months, rushed hatless
through the Streets and hurled them
selves into the crazy mob.
The 60 acres of the financial dis
trict was Bedlam. Men tore pa
pers from the hands of newsboys
and rushed away without paying
for them. The widest rumors, if
of evil purport, became certainties.
The word went down the street that
great bank had closed its doors.
There was no fragment of truth
| in the statement, but it was accept
ed as an unquestioned fact. Tt was
charged that the great enterprises in
| which Carmody, Pence and Morton
| were concerned were insolvent, and
| that these men were in secret con-
| ference, endeavoring to arrange a
compromise with creditors. Mr..
Kent was regarded as the speculator
who had been intrusted with this
| news, and commissioned to use it to
| recoup some of the losses.
The evening papers were flooding
| the city with extras. The news was
so stupendous as to confound the

There was neither space nor type
sufficient to depict their emotions.

bosom of their families.
At one o'clock Sugar had dropped
25 points, Baltimore & Ohio IS points,
ST. Paul Il points, Metropolitan 30
points, Jersey Central II points and
Steel and Iron 81 points. The stocks
known to be interested withstood
the shock with smaller losses, but
the whole list was muti1ated almost
beyond recognition. The news had
reached London too late to permit
English operators to cover in that
market, and the cables bore the tales
of their dilemma.
Shortly after one o'clock brokers
in the employ of Street e Rogers
jumped into the market as buyers.
In the first hour of the session, be-
fore the break came, it was estimated
that they had sold not less than
100000 shares, and Kent brokers had
sold fully 100000 more. The total
sales for the first hour reached the
unprecedented total of 1,2SO,OOO
shares. From IL until o'clock the
representatives of Street & Rogers
did nothing. They then began to take
some of the stock as it was offered.
They became the center of riots.
Men fought like fiends to sell them
stock. In spite of their support the
offerings were so numerous that
prices still declined They bought
Sugar in 10000 and 10000 share lots.

SOME STRANGE HAPPENINGS.
Mr.. r. j. Kent, the great operator,
paced slowly up and down his room,
but never missed an examination of
the tape as it escaped from the
chattering ticker, by an interval ex-
ceeding half a minute. As the hour
of two approached. the little ne. chine
became furious in it's efforts to keep
pace with the operations of the
sweating, swearing and struggling
brokers, two blocks away. Mr.. Kent
let the tape slide through his fingers

Mr.. Kent stepped to his private
telephone.
''Who is selling that Sugar?' he
asked his broker.
Street & Rogers are selling most
of it now. Brokers for Morris &
Hauser of Boston, and Wright & Fan
ming of Chicago have also been sell
ing it. These houses have been sell

more & Ohio. Metropolitan, Steel and

prompt answer. ST advised the office
of it some time ago.
"Who is the selling for?"
'sNo one seems to know"
'sWhat do Ravens brokers say?"
'"They seem to be up in the air,
They are still buying Sugar"
'All right. Goodbye"
Mr.. Kent called up Mr.. Haven, the
great sugar magnate.
"What in the devil is the matter

''I don't know" was the response
