HUMOR IN THE FOOTNOTE.
Librettist GiIbert's Joke on Prospec
tive Bride.

In the early days of w. S. GiIbert's
success, when Gilbert & Sullivan were
considered by managers as the ''sure
winners" in the comic opera field, Il
young woman who was q member Of
one of the "Pinafore" companies wrote
to Gilbert telling him of her approach
ing marriage with a young man Of
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 sutton.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her judgment and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare.
Tt was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received a third letter
from the same girl, who informed him
that young Lord - had proposed and
that she had accepted him after break
ing her engagement with No. 2.
Gilbert's humor could no longer with
stand the temptation, and he wrote
II desire to congratulate you on your
approaching marriage WITH Here he
placed an asterisk and in a footnote
added:
Here insert the name of the happy
man"
This is probably as characteristic a
piece of humor as any that appears in
his Dab Ballads" or in his works for
the stage.

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 'sUnder the Sun" describes this
beast and tells a strangely interesting
story, which be 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 fimsy 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 a dead city. No man him
dered the tiger, and he glided silently
down the main street Of the town, q
beautiful vision of orange and black
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
little white bag in his hand and was
soon lost to sight il the jungle.
An hour later he returned, barehead-
ed in the sun. At his heels, fawning
and kittenish slouched the tiger, and
round its neck was loosely tied one
end Of Nadaun's white pugree. 1t was
the little white bag that had done it.
"Would your honOrs like to see the
effect of this medicine" Madam put
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 q kitten at play.
Madam very naturally refused to al
low us to look closely at the powder.
1t was his livelihood, he said, and his
secret, if our honors would pardon him.

COLDER WEATHER
 IS ON ITS WAY

Very much colder weather is com ing,'' said Section Director H. F. AL ciatore last night while discussing the weather for the immediate future. The weather for Monday was most strenuous and interesting affair. Over the greater part of the territory east of the Rocky Mountain region an area of high pressure had existed. This has been the case from the Da- kotas to Texas, and this high barom- eter has been accompanied by colder weather. At o'clock Monday morn ing the temperature in Kansas was : above zero In the Panhandle of Texas the reading was IS above zero. There were killing frOsts at Memphis, Tenn, Fort Smith, Ark, and Roswell, N. NJ. When I note a killing frost at Fort Smith l am sure of like cOndi- ton throughout the northern tier of counties. The era of high pressure is moving in an eastward direction, and the eastern part of the state is to have colder weather. With the colder weather to the west, we may expect extremely cold weather here, with a hard freeze in this city Tuesday morn ing."-Little Rock Gazette.

IRON MOUNTAIN TO
 INCREASE FACILITIES
Additional Equipment Ordered to Els tabliSh New Schedules Between
 Points in the Southwest.

Memphis Nov. 12.--That the high officials Of the Missouri Pacific-lro Mountain railway system believe that the present stringent financial condi- tiOns will be shOrt-liyed was evidence cd today. when official announcement was made of increased train facili- ties on those lines. Beginning yes to,tlay two midnight trains were plac- ed i'll operation between St. Louis and Kansas City, one leaving each city promptly on the midnight hour. These trains are models Of the car builder S genius and have just been delivered from the Pullman shops at great cost. Passenger Traffic Manager C. l l. Stone announces that, in addition 1 to these new services, additional equipment has been ordered to es- ! tablish new schedules on the Iron Mountain railway between St. Louis,
 Memphis and Louisiana, Texas and other Southwestern points.
 We believe,' said MT. Stone, that the present financial fury is only temporary. and we are going right ahead, preparing to handle all freight and passenger traffic that will surely be offered. The crops in the South and Southwest are bountiful and we han see no reason why our lines 1 should curtail their transportation fa- cilities. The Gould system extends through large agricultural area To- cated in many states, and we know that the prosperity of this nation is Idependen1 largely upon the products
 of the farm With crops in good con- dition and industries booming in the states traversed by our lines, we are looking confidently to the future"
