Tigers Refuge In Tree.

News of a tiger being brought in
from a village about three miles from
the capital, the chief of the state
went out with party. The guns were
placed in trees and the tiger being
driven out, the maharaia wounded him
in the jaw.
The tiger thereupon sprang into a
chila tree and, grasping the trunk with
his fore paws and resting his hind legs
on branch, remained hidden in the
foliage for FIVE minutes Then the dogs
were let loose after the tiger. But he
stuck to his seat and would not come
down till the dogs, getting a scent of
him, jumped up to catch bis tail, which
was Just dangling over thu, heads.
Down sprang the tiger on one of the
faithful dogs, breaking his spinal cord
and wounding another at the glands.
But his onslaught brought on his
own ruin through deadly bullet Of

A Stunning Surprise.

Hard times are bound to be full OF
unpleasant shocks and stunning sur.
prises," he said Il remember the last
panic and a sermon that a Mobile pas.

'sThe pastor, in a powerful discourse
urged economy and retrenchment on
his congregation. In view of the hard
times there should be no extrava-
gance, no useless expenditure, he said,
but every outgo ought to be pared
down.
His strong sermon had a swift and
unexpected effect. The congregation
before dispensing, held church meet
ing and unanimously reduced the
mans salary from $4,000 to 81, 500"
