to Gilbert telling him of her approach

good position and family.
Gilbert congratulated the young
woman and expressed the hope that
her future might be prosperous and
happy.
Only a little more than a month
passed, and another letter from the
same girl reached him, in which she
stated that her engagement with the
young man had been broken and that
she had accepted another suitor.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her judgment and again ex.
pressed his hearty wishes for her wei
fare.
It was almost two months after thai
that Gilbert received a third letter
from the same girl. who Informed him
hat she had accepted him after break

TIGER MEDICINE.
A Secret That Was Guarded by an East
Indian Trainer.

The maharajah Of Jammu had at one
time the distinction of possessing the
finest male tiger kept in captivity any
where in the world. Percival Landon
in Under the Sun" describes this
beast and tells a strangely interesting
story, which he declares is strictly
true, in regard to it.
The tiger, a glorious brute Of white
and orange and black, with steel sin
ews and teeth like Sikh daggers, lay
sulkily In his cage and growled. Ma
daun, the attendant, spoke to the tiger,
and as he did so the beast flung him
self ~furiously against the limsy bars.
The keeper put his slender hand under
his clothing and pulled out a little
white bag.
Some years ago the tiger had found
that the little back door of his den was
open. The assistant Of the little men.
agerie returned to find him loose in
the garden and fed.
In half an hour Jammu's streets were
as those Of ii dead city. No man hin,
dered the tiger. and he glided silently
down the main street of the town. IL

striped death. He reached the jungle
and vanished.
An hour later Madam came back to
his work and heard the news. A few
minutes afterward another solitary fig,
ure made its way down the still empty
street. He had no weapon. He had a
little white bag in his hand and was
soon lost to sight in the jungle.
An hour later he returned. barehead
ed in the sun At his heels. fawning
and kittenish, slouched the tiger. and
round it's neck was loosely tied one

the little white bag that had done it.
would your honors like to see the
effect Of this incidence Madam pu,
his hand into the bag and scattered
few whitish grains inside the bars. In
a moment the tiger was upon them
searching out the tiniest bit of what,
ever it was. In fifteen seconds he was
on his back. beating the air with his
huge paws, like Il kitten at play.
Madam very naturally refused to al.

Is Bryan Still Unsafe"

Minneapolis Journal: If Mr..
Bryan's statement in the Com
moner, that there is no desire
anywhere to make government
ownership of railroads an issue
in 1908 was meant as a bid for
the nomination of a united party,
it appears to have fallen short of
the desired result. The New
York World has taken up the
matter and is asking this ques-
ton: SIS Mr.. Bryan any safer
in 1908 than he was in 1896, when
he consented to the abandonment
of the tariff issue in order to
hold his free silver republican
support; or, in 1900, when he
consented to make Imperialism
the paramount issue to win back
the gold democrats" The Bos-
ton Herald says that Mr.. Bryan
will find it easier to say govern
ment ownership is dropped than
he can say or do. The Herald
belives that his nomination is
improbable and that his election
would be impossible
Another point in regard to Mr..
Bryan recantation is that it re-
gulation is tobe given a thorough
trial. the people are quite apt to
continue in power the party
which has made a start on
the subject. Mr.. Bryan may
believe he has covered this ex-
posed position by saying that
the democrats got it into their
platform first. But the republi-
cans got it into a law first.
Moreover, the democrats had
four years of power when they
did nothing on the subject. Then
out of power, they had two plat
forms, one devoted to free silver
as a paramount issue, another
devoted to imperialism as a
paramount issue, and when these
were both torn TO tatters by a
hostile vote, then Mr.. Bryan dis
covered that he had really been
paramountlng the railroad ques.

That CITY.

BALTIMORE, July 6.-Daniel John
OKeefe, twenty-seven years old, formerly
member of the South African constabu-
larry, ended his life yesterday morning
about o'clock by cutting his throat with a
razor in a ten-foot alley adjoining 800 North
Broadway. near Madison street. When the
body Of the man was found his arms were
folded across his breast which probably in
dicated that he died peacefully. His body
was taken to the morgue in the northeast
ern patrol wagon. and after an investiga-
ton Coroner Caruthers give certificate Of

ly. This became known to the hospital
authorities and he was warned to discon-
tinue the same.
From papers found on O'Keefe, it appears
that he had been honorably discharged at
Krugersdorf, in the Transvaal. on Novem-
Der %, 1906. He had received several med
ais for bravery, and was decorated with the
Queens South African war medal. and
