THE TIGER.

The tiger Is an animal that equals
the lion IN strength. 1t is never found
in Africa. India and siam are the
countries 1t occupies the most. In
the junSles 1t makes its homo for Its
little ones. The deer is tho chief VIC
tim of the tiger. Some time 1t will
catch the sight OF deer a half q
mile off nibbling the grass 1t will
wait patiently for hours for tho deer
to pass by. But sometimes he gels
disappointed. for the deer will go an
other way Then he has to go and
look for other game. because he knows
his little ones will get hungry. His
mate is very careful with her lnates
Otter the father will come in With a
peccary Anstead OF a deer. Sometimes
a sorrowful night will befall them.

killed while out looking for provisions.
The mother will not let them die Of
starvation. She will go out and get
game for her little cubs. Sometimes
she IL killed herself. Them of course,

The way In which the showmen catch
tigers Is very Interesting I viii tell

a Gl,EEDy noy.

There was once a. very greedy little
boy, His name was Harry Gray. Harry
had a lot of brothers and sisters. One
day he came ~ the kitchen and snid:
Ma, may cave that icly?" There
was a little Jelly IN a glass which
Mrs. Gordon had sent from her big
dinner His mother said. Yes. dear.
If YOU will not be greedy. aud give
the others some" Tn said al will
give them nearly all" Now. he had
no idea OF giving them any. Flo crept
away to the barn and went In the loft
and Began TO eat If. When he heard
his little sister call hin, he said to
himself: "she Just wants some, and K
isn't but o taste
SO he ate It up and played and
hunted for eggs; then went home. His
sister came running to him aud said;
"Where have you been? We have been
calling YOU. You ought to have been
hero. We had party. We had ice
cream, cake. Jelly and lots of fruits
and candy"
His mother asked him II he had d.
vided his jelly and he said, Eyes"
All of the children said they had not
had any. SO the next day no was
punished severely. That taught him
never to be greedy any more. IIc al
ways divides now: j think that taught
him lesson. Composed by

Grace Darling, the daughter OF a
lighthouse keeper, was born In 1910,
and died in 1912, when she was only
twenty seven years OF age. she lived
on a small island one OF the Farne
group. which is off the coast OF North
cumberland, IN the North Sea
ono September night great storm
broke out. and the wind howled. the
waves beat against the rocks and the
night was dark as pitch. for tho moon
had hidden itself. not wanting to see
what was about to happen. In the
midst OF all this ship was unhappily
driven upon the rocks, and worse still,
she was broken In half by the cruel
sea- some of the sailors were inlme-
diatcly washed overheard. others were
wounded by the flying spars. and many
more were clinging helpless to the
masts. The cries of the wounded. the
means OF the dying. and the cries for
help from the others all rose In pitt
full. wailinE. heart-rending cry above
the noise OF the storm
Grace Darling heard those cries. and
her noble heart was touched. She was
resolved to save the unhappy sailors,
AMI she said. Father. let us try to
save thcml"
Her father replied. TITS no use.
Grace dear: we cannot save them. Tho
storm is brewing so hard that our
little boat win be dashed TO pieces
before we reach them"
But wo must try to save them
said Grace. we can't let them perish
before our eyes and we not do a thing
to save them
Her father did not rcply. but he got
his boat ready. aud father and dauGh-
ter set forth on their perilous but
kind mission. They rowcd hard. but
at flrst j, seemed to be of no use The
waves wero huffetting tho small boat
rs - t''sa ~ ~nttea~d with tbs
number Of victims they had and
ware ed more. Al last they reached tho
wreck, and they were III time to save
many lives.
Grace Darling was thanked very
much by the sailors, and also received
medals and visits from many noted
men. and her name viii always be
remembered as ono or the hravest
young women in England, aud perhaps
in the world

showed at a very early age a great
fondness for music. Anna Maria
wanted TO be taught to play OH the

time to give her instruction. for he
had to work hard to get money enough
for the support OF his family.
The clarichord was the ld-fashioned

THE GRAND.

The Frank Rich company playing at the Grand continues to draw and please large audiences. Their bill changed last night the title of the new play being Tn Menuda Land dealing with love, romance and revo- lution in the land of the manana. Fritz Fields is a versatile actor and the manner in which he carried the part of the newspaper correspondent would seem to indicate that he had at some time been up against the many griefs of newspaper work.
 The musical numbers were even bet ter than in the former bills the best of them being "Amo," by Miss Gene vieve De Lacour; If I Had Thou sand Lives to Live" by Nat Went worth and Silver Moon," by Miss Evelyn Constance, assisted by Miss Nellie Sterling and chorus. This lat ter number was particularly interest ing on account of it's beautiful cleo trical efefcts.
 Mir. Rich is sparing no pains to put on high grade performances, which he is well able to do with his company. He is being rewarded by crowded houses every night which proves that Phoenix theater- goers appreciate something good
