TIGER HUNTING.
Turing the Fierce Animals by Imi.
tatinE Monkey.

Turing the FIERCE Animals by kmfs
tating Monkey.
To call tiger the proceeding was as
Fellows: The mikir, having first ascer-
tanned that tiger was in the neighbor
hood, would climb into well branch
ed, leafy tree situated near where he
supposed the tiger to be, and after hid
Ing himself among the branches as best
he could would commence TO initiate
the chattering of a monkey ana break
and drop twigs in the way that mon
keys do.
Then he would let fall 10 the ground
bundle of rags weighted so that the
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as if baby monkey had tum-
bled down from the tree, and at the
same time would initiate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be the
supreme moment, for if tiger were
near it would often spring out in the
hope of swapping up such Il dainty
morsel as young monkey, and then g
bullet from the gun Of the hidden mikir
might find its billet in the tigers body.
BY this means the mikir was said to
have killed considerable number Of
tigers, and certainly the mans power
Of mimicry was wonderfully good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
different nature, the sound initiated be-
ing the cry of a fawn, and as this cry
sometimes attracted tigers, too, it had
to be adoy~ed with caution, because 1t
was used only in open grass land, from
which the caller would not have had
much chance to escape were tiger
suddenly to put in an appearance

The Mortgage Tax.

b r. g d.
THE Richmond Times Dispatch"
says the Roanoke Evening World, has
at intervals for several years been ar
guing most forcibly that the mortgage
tax is double taxation. There is not
the slightest room to doubt the truth
of its contention, and it has demon
strated it time and again with mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy"
But our contemporary has not quite
made up its mind as to what is the
true solution Of the problem. IT." it
says in conclusion, ''the abolition Of the
tax on mortgages would reduce the
rate Of interest 10 the extent Of the
tax, the nominal owner would have no
right to complain; but there is no
guarantee that such would be the
case"
Experience teaches that the abolition
Of the mortgage tax would reduce the
Interest rate, and common sense teaches
it. If the mortgage tax in Roanoke
were abolished does not our contem-
rorary believe that the interest rate
would come down? Ask the real estate
dealers and hear what they say
But whether so or not, the mortgage
tax is a double tax, and double taxa
ton cannot be successfully defended
or justified.

The Death Penalty.

Some of our contemporaries arc
claiming that there would be fewer
murders il capital punishment should
demolished. Their argument is that
murdcrers frequently escape punish
mcnt because Of the reluctance OF most
jurics to inflict the death penalty, but
that punishment would be sure If the
penalty for murder In the first degree
were a term in the penitentiary; tho
greater its efficacy as a preventive
Of crime.
There is something in the argument,
but it Is by no means conclusive, and
there is one important phase of the ques-
ton which Southerners must never
overlook. If capital punishment
should be abolished. lynching for a
certain brutal crime would be the in
variable rule in our section of the
country.

And wore n coat of tan.
Don't greet this With sarcastic filings:
Or course, he wore some other things!

To go upon the job
And hen he shook his weary head
Ana suhbed u dolcf,i sob.

"1 rs ed i Of the foreman first,

Thnt IMPLEMENTS could be disburseu
But by the overseer.

They gave mo then mammoth blank
Io write my name and age.
MY favoritc book, my trusted bank,
MY savings and my WnEc,
AND on tho three lines underneath
The data of my eyes and tcoth,

And now It's final fate VIII be
Made known in Washington. y. c.,
"Alas! Alas! look about
On all these busy scenes
And must possess my soul With doubt
TIL Congress next convencs:

Until get that needed spade" tte
IIe bowed his head upon his hands
And wept and wept and wept,
And softly to the ocean sands
We crcpt and crept and crept,
Ana when his spade hal como we'll drapt
It's handle with some bright red tape.
