The Discovery

Here is an outline of the story-just enough to make you want it all.
 Two years ago, MT. John N Willys was dealer in automobiles. There came to him one day a remarkable extraordinarily the creation of mechanical genius. The sim plest, sturdiest, smoothest-runnlng car that anyone around there had seen.
 The name of the car was the Overland. And the price-then, $1 ,250-was as amaz- ing as the car itselt
 The sale of this car spread like wildfre. Each car sold brought a call for twenty others like 1t. Old and new motor car owners came by the score to deposit ad- vance money-attracted by the Overland's matchless simplicity.
 But the cars did not come. And when MT. Willys went to the makers he found them on the verge of receivership.
 The genius which had created this mar vicious car could not finance the making in the face of the 1907 panic.

The $1,OOO Overland

This year an Overland-better than last years $1 ,250 car-is being sold for $1 900. That is because the tremendous production has cut the cost 20 per cent
 A 25 horsepower car, capable of so miles an hour, for $1,000, complete with lamps and magneto. Never did a maker give nearly so much for the money.
 There are higher-powered Overlands for $1,250-$1 ,400-$1, 500. They are just as cheap in comparison as the $1,0O0 model.
 The Overlands are unique in simplicity1 They operate by pedal control. A ten-year- old child can master the car in moment.
 They are made in the same factory, and by the same men as made the Pope-Toledo "a $4,250 car. The reason for the price lies in the production of 125 cars per day.

TIGER AT HIS BATH.
Opportunity for Shot That Hunter
 Did Not Neglect.

From the Youths Companion.
 An interesting account of a tiger hunt Is given by one who had a wide experi beats. Mounted upon elephants the writer and his companions had been beat ing the jungle without making a find un- til they were about to give up the search, a sudden disturbance among the ele- phants appeared to betoken a tiger near at hand. Giving directions to the others as to the order of marching their ele- plants, the writer ordered his mahout to turn into the thick feathery foliage to the left in search of pool of water which he remembered to be there.
 There was a slight descent to a long but narrow hollow about 50 or 60 yards wide. This was filled with clear water for an unknown length.
 I was just about to make a remark when instead of speaking I gently grasp ed the mahout by the head as l leaned over the howdah and by this signal stopped the elephant.
 There was a remarkable sight. About 70 yards distant my left the head and neck of large tiger, clean and beautiful. peposed above the surface of the water, while the body was cooling. concealed from view. Here was our friend enjoying
 
 ing away up and down the jungles which he had left.
 Fire at him. whispered the mahout, Cor you will lose him! He will see us and be off
 "Hold your tongue!" I answered. 'He can't see us. for the sun is at our back and is shining in his eyes. See how green they are?"
 At this moment the tiger quietly rose from his bath, and sat up on end, like a 1og. I never saw such sight. His head was beautiful and the eyes shone like two green electric lights as the suns rays re- 0ected from them, but his huge body was Tripping with muddy water. as he had been reclining upon the alluvial bottom

The Pope Toledo Plant

Mr. Willys' next step was to buy the Pope oledo factory-one of the greatest automobile plants in the country. This gave him four well-equipped factories-just 16 months from his start.
 But the Toledo plant wasn't sufficient. So he gave his builders just 40 days to com plete an addition larger than the original factory.
 Then he equipped these buildings with the most modern nachinery-with every conceivable help and convenience-so that cars could be built here for less than any where else
 Now 4,OO0 men work on Overland cars. The output is valued at $14O,OO0 per day. The contracts from dealers for this seasons delivery ca1l for 10000 cars. .SJ Now this man has acquired B acres around his Toledo plant. And his purpose is to see-from this time on-that those who want Overlands get them.

 T took sitting position that afforded me a rght-hand quartering shot at the big fellow and a left-hand quartering shot at the other, and that would enable me to act very quickly after the first shot. For the first 1 intended to take my time. and trust to luck and rapid work for the second. l felt that with one cart ridge in my rifle, three others on the ground and two more between the fingers of my right hand. the old singie-shot could be depended upon.
 When all these things were arranged to my liking l waited for a side shot at the large bear. I did not have long to wait and I never looked through sights more carefully than when drawing that bead. There was only two square inches of bear visible when I pulled the trigger, but that was the spot wanted, ana once the shot was delivered I wasted no time
 in ascertaining the result, but at once turned to the other bear. He acted ex- actly as I had expected. He turned side on to me to see what bedlam had broken loose. I caught him squarely in the snoui-
 der, and he wilted in his tracks, as the other had done. Not yard did either ol them move after being shot.

 Another attractive figure was the Young Lochinvar figure. At the west end of the ballroom two Scottish bag pipers appeared. followed by eight young men in clerical garb Eight girls in bridal ar ray came on with eight bridegrooms in Scotch plaids and kits.

Growth Of Hawaii.

From the Hartford Courant.
 The Kanakas may be a doomed and dwinding race, but the population of Hawaii is growing. Nine years ago the census made it about 140000; this year the official estimate at Washington makes it about 175,co0. Between 40 and 50 nationalities are represented in it. This country and Europe with Portugal omit ted1g contribute about 14,oO0; the number or Portuguese and natives Of the West lnGies in the territory is, approximately, &,0,9. The 56234 Japanese of nine years ago have increased to about 75Oo0 On the other hand, the nearly 22,0o0 Chinese O. that census year have decreased to- approximately, 1s,000.

The Japanese umbrella figure was danced with its accompanying rain. thunder and lightning. In another figure the room suddenly darkened while the orchestra played I'm Afraid to 70 Home in the Dark" and fifty heroic young men danced out and took as many frightened maidens home.
 In the flower figure eight sedan chairs covered with flowers, in each of which was a young woman carrying basket of flowers, were carried in by men with cooked hats and gay colored sashes, and accompanied by men with fans, throwing flowers. and as the figure progressed they all threw flowers.

The New Start

Mir. Willys in some way met the over due pay roll-took over the plant-and con- trived to fill his customers orders. {
 Then the cry came for more cars from every place where an Overland had been sold As the new cars went out the de- mand became overwhelming. The factory capacity was outgrown in short order. Then tents were erected.
 Another factory was acquired, then an- other; but the demand soon outgrew all three.
 During the next fiscal year these factories sent out 4,O75 Overland cars. Yet the de- mand was not half supplied.
