Giving Medicine to . Sick Tiger.

In q certain ZOO is a very beautiful
tiger, said to be the largest one in cap
tivity. But If he would only move
about as If he felt at home, and not be
80 dignifed, we should be better
pleased with him. Yet the poor crea-
ture is %excusable. because he has dys-
pepsia, and his sufferings make him
cross.
One day the keeper decided to adj
minister a dose of medicine, so with the
bottle and Il whip he climbed to the top
Of the cage. Was that tiger cross? You
would have thought so if you had seer
him throw back his great head and
snap at the whip. The keeper, after
engaging him, poured a little medicine
down the lash. which he gradually
withdrew, until in its place there was
a tiny medicinal stream, at which the
tiger kept biting and swapping. too
much surprised, it seemed, to distin-
guish between whip and liquid. When
he turned away his head, the medicine
was poured over his paws. and when
he had licked them clean that days
treatment was ccmpleted.-St. Mich

A Valiant Woman.

Among the many acts of devotion for
which many women, Russian and Jap
anese, will be called upon before the
war comes to a close few will be more
noteworthy than that displayed by
Countess Catherine Ignatieff, who has
left everything to act as a simple nurs-
ing sister at the front. This admirable
lady acted in d like manner during the
international occupation of China in
1900. when she accompanied the Rus
sian regiments on all their marches,
even washing for the wounded and
sick. During the Greco-Turkish war
of 1S96-97 she acted as a nursing sister
for the Greek wounded and at the bed
side Of her patients learned to speak
Greek.

once on a train when a stalwart man
entered the compartment and began to
smoke. This is not a smoking COM

"All right, old chap. III just finish my

became angry and taking out his card
handed 1t to his companion, saying he
would report him when the train
stopped. The smoker took the card,
put it into his pocket without looking
at 1t and went on with his cigar. at
the next station he got out and went
into another carriage. Justice Gran
than called the guard and demanded
that the mans name and address
should be taken and that he should be

delinquent and shortly after returned

The business in children's tin sol.
diers has increased about 90 per cent
In the last three months. This in
al was expected. The manufac-
turers had prepared for it. The sup,

1T is the war that has caused the
jump in the tin soldier trade" said q
toy dealer. whenever a war arises
the martial spirit beats high in chill
dren's breasts, and they must have tin
soldiers to fight mimic battles with.
During the Spanish-American war
there was an increase of 800 per cent
in this trade. and the factories had to
run night and day for two months.
My foreman, an octogenarian, says he
saw the same thing during the civil

the tumult that beat there. Here was
the very center and core of the mas
ter's life, old Jerry knew it, and yet
His a changed suddenly as though
an evil cloud had passed before the
suns brightness. His very body seem
ed to become gnarled and twisted,
while the hands closed and Enclosed
suggestively at his sides, driving the
nails into the hard palms. Every
breath he drew vas an unspoken male
diction upon the nan who came
through the gates to meet his mistress.
You're there, are We, ye black heart
ed sarpant!!" he painted.
His heart seemed to die within him
as he measured his strength against
his opponents. With a sense Of help
less i%nadequacy his old figure collapsed
tremblingly. But the habit Of a
in extremity was strong upon him.
His head fell forward reverently on his
breast.
God Almighty" he breathed, "this
makes the third time this week. an
I dunno-I dunno where's Mr.. Aleckr'
The man he hated was walking bare
headed beside the mistress. Their
steps turned to a tall s%hrubbery ut the
other end of the grounds. Jerry made
a hobblins detour by the back Of the
house and reached It first. He was
on bis knees again, trowel in hand,
but hidden by the dense growth when
they passed.
"Why do you submit to this neg
lect" the even, insidious tone was
urging. believe me, l have not told
you one-half Of what has come unbid-
den to my knowledge. Constance, the
way of escape is always open!"
Old Jerry's breath came in hard. dry
pufs as he listened. His fingers dug
themselves into the ground, tearing
up handfuls of sod. 1t had come to
this then!
BLAST him! Blast his lying tongue"
The force of the words rent him from
head to foot as he shook his trembling
fist after the man he would gladly
have strangled. Then he got slowly on
hfs feet. seeming to grow younger and
stronger as he did SC. The blood of
the fighting race still beat in his veins
In spite of his seventy years. 1t blazed
IN the blue eyes under their shaggy
brows. promising war to the death be-
fore those he loved and served were in
jured.
All that day he watched the house
and grounds untiringly. His mistress
had hidden her visitor goodby at the
gate and walked slowly back to the
house as though all life and hope were
gone from her. and he saw her no more.
At midnight he installed Johnny, Mr..
Alexis favorite groom, in his place.
Don't We make no sound nor word"

know what yer here for. but if We see

When morning came he relieved
Johnny at 6 O'clock. the latter having
seen no one "comin' or coin'," and again
took up his surveillance of the house.
It vas dusk when at last the figure he
had been looking for came slowly
down the steps. She had almost reached
the gate when Jerry, his old heart beat
ing in his throat, stepped out on the
gravel walk beside her.

C~ohtrnband Tobacco In England.
What becomes of the c%ontraband to-
bacco seized by the customs? The early
practice was to bury it. This senseless
waste was suspended for a time by the
happy idea of distributing the tobacco
among the troop ships.
That did not last long. and next year
we hear of the %contraband being
smoked in the queens pipe" a huge
receptacle which could turn Hundreds
of tons into smoke in a few hours"
Again the misgiving of the waste trou-
bled the authorities. and they took to

been cut off once more, although the
criminal lunatics still enjoy their pipes
and cigars.
One attempt was made to throw the

Sturgeon Rare In Orego Waters.
A sturgeon weighing 375 pounds was
captured by a gill net fisherman near
Astoria a few days ago and sold for
$50.
1t has been less than twenty years
since surgeons of hal size were al
most unstable. and thousands of
pounds of the big fish have been car
ried off the Portland docks for fertili-
ger after the consignees had refused to
pay the steamboat freight on them.
The prodigal waste Of these fish a
few years ago, when their value was
not appreciated. has depleted the sup
ply to such an extent that they are
now almost extinct.
1t requires nearly as much time to
produce a $40 pound sturgeon as it
does to produce a six foot saw log, and
the time is approaching when the big
saw log, like the big sturgeon, will
pass out Of evidence. with nothing
growing up to take its place.-Port-
land O%regonian.

HOW ABOUT THIS, GOV

w. :. Jennings, Governor of FlOri-
da, who is at present in the west
gave an interview to the Omaha Bee
the other day in which he is quoted
as saying:
Il believe that the telegram puT-
porting to have been written and
sent by Judge Parker just before the
adjournment of the st. Louis con
veniion, in which he expressed the
conviction that the gold standard
was irrevocably established and de-
clared that he was in favor of it, was

But in letter written subsc-

written and sent the message. Do
you think that letter was also Il
lakr?' Gov. Jennings was asked.

that letter was from him, but
maintain that the gold telegram
WAS a fake
"Who do you think faxed the
telegram?' he was asked.
"W.hu would have faxed it, he
replied, "but the men who We're
back of Judge Parker?'
"WilI you support Judge Parker W
hr was asked
~ think" he answered. that
Judge 2 rker should have the sup
port of the democratic party, now
that he has been nominated
BY virtue of his exalted office Gov.
Jennings is the present head OF the

II is true that the party has al

rel"gating him t" priyat" life after

As the present leader his expires

He WE GOULD SEE.

Everything in tn" world has its
uses.
The only difficulty with this truth
is our lack Of vision to discern it.
There are some men, for instance,
whY to all intents and purposes seem
absolutely useless. they are COM
mittrd to ii program Of worthless
HESS. They make a policy of prof =
less living lmdDl"mt or vicious Their
vaIurirss lives would appear To br of

But lhrs serve to point IL moral.

The voluntary rags of the imdolent

These objects lessons all say,
Take the other road" They are of
some use. But
Some one says of what use is that
helpless invalid? He cannot re-
cover. He is drag upon the living.
Strange Providence does not take
him away. But Providence knows
its business.
The character of someone who has
the care of that unfortunate needs
stiiiening. Or someone who notes
the cheerful accomplishing of the in
valid needs to be shalned out of his
murmuring. He who looks on the
cripple gives thanks for sound limbs
and he who watches the blind mans
trembling steps is glad for his good
vision.
Everything in this world has
moral value-if only We could see
everything as it is.
