Baron Hubner went one evening ia

The baron found the door of the house

die a martyr in a cause not his own,
the baron hurriedly explained, 81 am

Worked the Tigers.

Near Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
is prosperous rubber factory run by
long headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture the
bark of the trees. Laborers are scarce
in that district, but there Is an abun-
dance of tigers. There were not
enough men to tap" the trees, but the
Scotch proprietor hit on brilliant
idea. He knew that tigers are fond Of
valerian, so he gave orders that all the
trees should be rubbed with this stuff.
The tigers came up and caressingly
scratched the bark in the most ap-
proved herringbone fashion, after
which all that the coolies had to do
was to walk around once a day and
collect the rubber.
