Tluer Cub Cauuht Thief,

Out of river bed where it had tumbled when its dam was put to flight some hunters in India fished a tiger cub. In two days 1t was as tame as a, kitten and grew up the playmate of the camp terriers. It was fond of them, and the terriers worshiped the tigress. To allay the fears of a woman visitor the tigress was one night chained up. Next morning the animal was found with a man under her. She had not hurt him. He was thief, and, not know ing of her existence. had come within the area which her length of chain enabled her to command. She sprang upon him, lay on him, and kept him prisoner until guards came to release him.

The suggestion is often made that
 to popularize rifle shooting "so- ciety" must be interested, says
 writer who is interested in the pro-
 motion of rife practice. Those ad- vancing this interesting idea forget that society" interests itself very
 little in sports in which it does not take an active part. It patronizes racing largely because it owns the tracks and some of the stables. It patronizes golf because it plays the game The same is true of automo- piles and with football; it either has friends on the teams or college af- filiations. Rife practice offers none of these attractions, although it is as good exercise as golf and less brutal than football. The interest of "so- ciety," as the term is used, in rife practice, will come when civilian clubs become popular, when the men bring their wives and daughters to see them shoot. The presence of the ladies made the tournaments of the middle ages successful, while the vestal virgins occupied the place of honor in the Roman ampitheater. There was a time when the women of England wanted no better sport than archery. If the ladies take up rife shooting that sport will soon outstrip golf as popular pastime. Of course this is more or less testing, but speaking seriously, the American woman rides to the hounds, outplays men at golf and tennis and has her own basketball teams. Many of them hunt and fish as experts. Of course not many would care to shoot with the heavy Krag or Springfield, but it is safe to say that if the civilian clubs which have shooting galleries were to encourage the ladies to shoot with the .22 Winchester Or the Krag with a .22 barrel, they would soon find the galleries crowded. Both guns are practically without recoil and easy for women and boys to handle.

 Another scheme of regulation is to exclude from interstate commerce the products of industries in which children of tender age are employed. There is serious doubt whether such a law would stand the test of con- stiutionality, but there would be no harm in making the experiment.- Boston Post.
 The pure food law and the free al- cohol law become operative to-mor- row. and both will be of great benefit to the whole people. In the manu- factures and arts the alcohol law will doubtless give great impetus that will be directly felt by industry the coun- try over. Hereafter no person can have cause for complaint that pure food is not to be obtained.-New London Day.
 The south makes much of Christi mas, but unhappily the spirit of the festival there too often takes the form of license to drink liquor, "moonshine" and other brands. Thus there is recorded from Louisiana, AL abama and Mississippi list of twen- ty-six unnatural deaths, due to crimes or casualties, quarrels of drunken men, or the freezing to death of those in that condition. The people of the belated south will in due course master the lesson that is being more and more realized by a very practical world, that liquor is not only the enemy of business and prog ress generally, but mighty poor in vestment in the way of celebrating any event.-Springfield Republican.

Peer-Actress Marriages.

The opening of railway across
 the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is des- tined to be Of great importance to the middle west of the United States. and more especially to the great Mis-
 sissippi valley, says writer in the Engineering Magazine. In his report to the United States government, Ad- miral Shufeldt stated that a canal across Nicaragua or Tehuantepec
 would come to be a natural prolon- gation of the Mississippi river to the
 Pacific ocean: and in the case of Te- huantepec. would bring New Orleans
 i,400 nautical miles nearer to San
 Francisco than a canal via Darien. The distance from the mouth of the Misssssippi to the northern terminal of tAe Tshusntepec railway fs only sIa niles. and the total distance by rAil and watsr from Ch;cago to tbs Pacific ocean by way of the Mexican ssthmus is only ..s75 miles. There will be 10 troublesome and delaying consular invoices. custom house in- spsctions. and the like. to delay freight going over the Tehuantspec railway. In other words, if one ships a carload of (say) cotton from New Orleans to Hong Kong. it will only be necessary SO to manifest and bond 1t; from Coatzacoalcos docks 1t will be transferred direct to Tehuan- tepec freight cars, and at Salina Cruz, several hours later, your cotton will be loaded on to the Chinese steam ship without an hours delay for the taking out of consular invoice-that great nuisance in foreign shipping or inspection by the custom house.

To Be Fat: Drink Chocolate.

In an obscure but picturesque lit. tie village of far of Germany there is a place called Chocolate Cure" where thin people go to become stout. The patients eat and drink cocoa and chocolate all the time while they rest admire the scenery, gossip and grow fatter every day. The true secret of the great success of this treatment is the happy way chocolate has of fattening just the right places. settling in the hands. the arms. the neck and the shoulders, making the fair patient prettier and plumper all the time. The really effective part os this cure may be tried at home by any persevering woman. and the med. icine Is as palatable and the method so simple that there is actually, it seems no reason why all should not be just the desired weight.

Perhaps the most thrilling episod

Perhaps the most thrilling episode in the late Sam Jones' career as an evangelist was or the occasion of his visit to disreputahle town on the gulf coast. On Sam's arrival in town he announced his purpose to clean 1t out or up. Thereupon he was waited upon by committee of citi- zens. headed by the mayor, who told the evangelist that he had better not try, enforcing their advice by swing ing a big stick. When the dust had subsided Sam had the stick and the field for evangelistic work was clear. Sam's Christianity was muscular.

small fold known as the Henry Fork
coal field. located west of Green River
and at the northern base of the Uinta
range.
Another little-known coal field ex.
tends southeastward from Grand
Junction 10 the vicinity of Crest ed
Butte, in GuDnison county. This
field is on the southern limb of the
Great Ulnta syncline and is supposed
to carry valuable coal beds It is.
however, capped by an enormous lava
flow, which forms high plateau
and makes the coal almost mac
cessible. According 90 the plans, a
party under the direction of Willis
7. Lee Will begin work al Grand
Junction and follow the outcrop of
the coal beds eastward as far as time
and money will permit.
For number of years coal of high
grade has been mined in and about
Durango, in the southern part of the
State. The rocks at Durango dip
southwark into an enormous basin
having length north and south of
and west Of about 100 miles. The
main body of this field terminates near
Gallup. on the Santa Fe railroad. but
a point extends southwark beyond the
Zuni Indian reservation. Through
out most of this field the coal is of
sub-bItuminouS quality. but along Its
northern border, in the vicinity Of
Durango. it is high grade steam
and coking coal. A party under the
direction of James FL. Gardner will
begin work at Durango and follow the
outcrop of the coal.bearing rocks east
ward and southwark, giving particular
attention TO the location Of the coal
beds Of Colorado aud then tracing
their extension southwark into New
| Mexico. If time permits, Mr., Gardner
will traverse the entire eastern border
of the field. closing his work in the
vicinity of the Santa Fe railroad.
For number of years high grade
bituminous and anthracite Goals have
been reported from Iron county, in
| the southwestern part of Utah. Previ-
Gus TO the construction of the San
I Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
! railroad there was little hope Of com
mcreial development OF this field, but
since this road has been built the
! field can be reached by short branch
| line, and it seems probable that in
! the near future it will be developed
/ The field will be examined by party
under the direction Of George 3.
Richardson. who will begin work in
the anthracite field near Cedar City
and carry At eastward into the btumin-
GUS field along the Colob plateau as
far as the season will permit.

PHILIPPINE MINING.
Enough Shown to Justify Further Elk
animation of Resources,

From the time that the Philippine
Islands were first acquired by the United
States there have been reports of great
mineral resources in them The little
work that had been done under Spanish
rule. it was said had revealed promising
the possible existence of other deposits In
tho large uneXplored areas OF the islands
was pointed out. says the Engineering
and Mining journal. Under American
rule q mining department was organized
and began systematic work on as large a.
scale as the limited means assigned 10 it
permitted. Necessarily Its work has been
slow. II possible to employ only a
'small force; though far as II has gone
the results have been credtable 10 those
in charge, So far it has revealed the eX-
istence OF coal and iron ore in consider
able quantities. but the copper deposits OF
Luzon have not vet been reached. Some
work has been done in the districts where
gold was said TO exist, and this work has
been supplemented In Masbate and else
where, by a number of American pros
pcctors, who have engaged In the search
for the precious metals.
IT, cannot bc said. as vet, that the indi-
cations point 10 the Philippines as a great
mining country OF the future. Enough
has been found, however, TO show that
further explorations are warranted and
that il Is quite possible that mining In
dustry OF respectable proportions may
grow up In the future. For this pupoge
capital and Intelligent direction viii be
needed. The former supplied, the latter
can be found without difficulty. So far
however American capital has been very
slow In finding Its way 10 the East and
little has been done To overcome the GEN
