TIGER HUNT IN cOREA.
How JaVanese Guard Against Maneat-
ers-Cave Tiger of Annoy.

THE tiger" said George Robertson,
OF Scotland, who has had many excit-
ingo experiences in hunting tigers in
far Eastern countries, lis usually look
ed on as tropical beast, but as a mat
ter of fact he is found pretty much
throughout the continent of Asia He
is an animal of great power, resource
and intelligence and exerts a great in
fluence on the lives of the people.
I'm Corea, where l have hunted,
there are no forests on the seaboard,
but the inland ridges are heavily tim
bered, and here the tigers are found.
The beasts are numerous and are pur-
sued on foot. After two or three vain
chases l was told by the natives that
no tigers could be found unless sac
rifice we're offered, and accordingly
gave up some coin for the necessary
rice and wine. The sacrifice was &C.
cordingly made, and the next day 1
shot a very handsome specimen. In
every Corean village there is an Off
cial hornblower, whose duty it is to
sound his horn whenever a tiger gets
into a village at night. The natives
are sorely afraid of them, and many a
human life is annually destroyed by
the savage beasts.
'In the province of Annoy 1 ran
across the cave tigers. The land is
bare of woods or brush, and the tigers
live in long tunnels in the rocks. The
Chinese hunt them with torches, car
rying three-pronged spears, and the
boys who go on these dangerous ex-
petitions proceed with as much cool
ness as the average youth in this
country does in rabbit hunt. A tiger,
however, will not charge a light, but
woe to the hunter whose light goes
out
I'm Java there are more tigers than
anywhere l have hunted. In some
places the brutes are so numerous
that the inhabitants slept in houses
built on piles, so as to be protected
from their assaults. The Javanese
hold them in such awe that many Of
the natives abstain even from using
the name of the beast"

Sleep and Old Aqe.

There is no question that the
quantity of sleep required steadily dim
inishes from infancy to old age. This
is rather interesting exception to
the general rule that, as in so many
matters, old age returns to the needs
of infancy. AS regards sleep, says
London Pail Mall Gazette, old age is
more remote in its needs from infancy
than is any other period of life. If
elderly people obtain good sleep dur
ing the first few hours, and If they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had in youth, but which
so many Of us curiously lose, their
case is not to be grieved over. The
special value of the earliest hours of
sleep, by the way, has been proved by
psychological experiment. The popu.
lar phrase beauty sleep" is well war
ranted. 1t is the early (the deepest)
hours of sleep that make for health
and beauty.

HAYWooD's SICKNESS ALARMS
SUSPICIOUS FRIENDS.
TOO I'LL TO APPEAR IN COURT
Toxemia From Eating Too Much and
Not Exercising Enough Is the
Physicians Diagnosis - No Pro-
sress With Jury Since Friday.

Boise, Idaho, June 8. = Friends of
w. D. Haywood, their suspicious Of
Possible poisoning aroused by his
sudden illness this morning, which
resulted in his trial for the alleged
murder of Gov. Steunenberg being
postponed until Monday, consider pc
titioning the county authorities for
permission to personally prepare and
serve all food he eats.
Haywood was restless and i'll most
of the night, ard early this morning
began crying in pain. Two hurriedly
summoned physicians announced al
ter examining him that he was suf-
fering from an acute intestinal toxe-
mia. Measures for the alienation OF
the pain included the administration
of morphine, and dizziness and
nausea caused by the drug rather
than the original trouble were re-
sponsibie for his inability to go to
the court room in the afternoon.
Haywood is a hearty eater, and
since the trial began has stopped
taking exercise. These conditions.
added to the worry and strain of the
trial, are believed to be responsible
for the attack. The earlier suffering
of the prisoner created the impress
sion that he was quite seriously ill,
and it was thought that an extended
interruption of the trial was newt
able.
However, Haywood responded
quickly to treatment, and counsel
informed the court that he would
surely be able to be present on Mon
day, so an adjournment was taken
until II o'clock of that day.
The jury was not brought into
court and the talesmen in attendance
were again warned to refrain from
discussing the case. The case, there
fore, stands where it did at adjourn
ment last evening.
The final moves in jury selection,
coupled with the unexpected inter
ruption of the trial, have given the
case local interest and freer discus
sion than it has heretofore had. Ac-
i've lTleuQS VI the prosecution CA
pressed the belief that the Illness of
Haywood was a convenience to gain
time for a further investigation of
the talesmen of the last venire; 9TH
ers were sure that Haywood had col
lapsed under the strain of the trial,
others talked mysteriously of poison,
and these and a dozen other rumors
went through the town.
Still another report was that the
defense, greatly dissatisfied with
several men in the jury box, would
seek by show of affidavits to get
consent for their denomination.
further report was that the state
was not satisfied with one of the jur-
ors and would seek to have him re-
moved after the defense used its
last peremptory.
Peter Breen. an attorney of Butte,
retained by the miners union of that
city to assist in the defense, arrived
here today. He met the other coun-
sci for the defense. and also the pris
oners, but took no part in the brief
court proceedings. There appeared
to be some question about his entry
into the case. and it was said that he
would not remain here. Some ex-
element on the subject is expected
tonight.

M"OUT THERE IN HANS AS" al
IL THE LAND OF PEACE. PROSPERITY AND PLENTY ~

As for the officers, they live in abb
solute style. with their private rooms
and baths and parlors. The comfort
OF the Kansas is unrivaled in this re-
spect, and makes one feel that In
time of peace Uncle Sans naval Off
Ger Is a pretty lucky man.
The monster engines that drive
this wonderful creation through the
water have the power to send her at
rate of eighteen knots an hour.
The engines are made in duplicate,
so that if in battle one set becomes
disabled another can Immediately be
switched in to take it's place.
In the Kansas an extra effort was
made to get room for coal, for just
as Napoleon once made the immor--
tai remark that an army Travelled on
its belly, so the journeyings of a bat
tleship are limited by the amount of
coal it can carry. The coal space is
found in the bunkers all along the
sides of the Kansas below the water
line.
The air that makes it possible for
500 men to live in comfort on this
huge pile of steel is brought in from
the huge ventilators that stick up in
the air from above the deck. When
forced draught is wanted for the pur-
pose of making speed, pump sends
an extra quantity of air down these
pipes into the boiler rooms and
makes the coal burn so much faster
that the ship gets that much more
power Immediately.
The progress, from stage to stage,
made in the construction of battle
ships, will. of course in time make
the Kansas a back number, but now
in its perfection as the last word in
construction, the new warrior makes
a powerful argument for peace, and
it will live in memory as the warship
that advanced the United States to
second place among the worlds sea
fighters.
