" EXISTENCE OF ANIMAL.

Greensboro, Ind, April 8.-HiSt-
from the Jungle comes the sound or
slowly. stalking animal. 1t moves so
quietly it seldom is heard but fire.
uuently in the moonlight its long
tawny body may be seen at it passes
about from hill to dale. 1t Is belleVed
to he a man eater. Few know OF its
nresence and those who do value it so
highly they will not tell others for
fear some one may steal forth into
the night and dispatch it by we'll
aimed shot or the ak of the prOsecu-
tor. When victim is claimed, there
is no beating Of tom toms and no
clanking of cymbals. Silently and al
WAYS in the darkness Of night, the
body is carried away and deposited TO
its resting place by friends. Even the
secret OF death is hidden for if the
governor at Indianapolis were to hear
or the prosecutor at Richmond, the
militia or county sheriff might be sent
and then the death of the tiger would
be certain Remarkable as it may
seem and the more SO in view OF the
wonderful sagacity this particular
Bengal is said by those who have seen
IT to be blind.
About forty-five years ago there
was real wild eyed tiger. A crusade
was instigated against the man eater
and he was dispatched. There is some
comment now as TO the probable fate
of the sightless specimen.

What the Kidneys Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when unheal-
thy some part of this impure matter
is left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptOmS-paln IN
the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism. govt, gravel,
disorders Of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy. deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
Martin Bulach, tailor, of South 9Th
St, Richmond, Ind, says: a number
