Horn, the Popular LOyr$Priced
Tailor, VIII Move soon.

The carpenters. decorators. painters,
and furnishers are rapidly finishing their
task Of Transforming the old building in
Eleventh street, which will soon be &C.
cupied by Horn the Tailor into one of
the finest gentlemen's tailoring establish
ments south of New York.
For many years Horn has occupied
the store in street, until now. with
his increased business, it has proven
inadequate for the large trade he has
built I'D from a small store only a few
short years ago.
Mr. Horn is all smiles these days, and
whenever an acquaintance gets within
reach he takes him right around to
show those big plate-glass windows and
a big, wide, roomy door, where he hopes
that all his old patrons and many new
ones will enter and find just what they
want in the mammoth new stock of
woolens which he will display upon the
opening of the new store in a week
or so.
Mr.. Horn says that every stitch OF
cloth will be absolutely new, and that
he doesn't propose to move a single
bolt Of the old stock into the new
store.

The word bungalow is an Anglo-In

which primarily means Bengal. oi
Of Bengal. and is also applied TO q
thatched hut. says Country Life In
America. II may be worth while tC
explain how this trivial and merely To-
cal name came to be fixed on the Eng
lishman's house in India.
Early residents there engaged In mil
itary. administrative or trading duties
lived a nOmadic life for the greater
part Of the year In tents. And since
there was nothing 10 the indigenous
buildings OF Bengal suited to their re-
quirements their first dwelling houses,

ned on the model Of the Indian serv-
ice tents to which they we're accus-
tomed-that is. a large and lofty room
surrounded by double walls OF canvas
inclOsing space between them. with
partitions at two or more corners for
bath or store rooms.
II is probably. indeed. that in the
beginning the tent itself was occasion
ally covered with the sun proof thatch
or bangla The name and the fhatrh
were all that were taken. and now
the origin Of the name Is forgotten
even by most Indians. who accept the
resonant. trisyllahic bungalow as the

In this way three crocodlles once
found their way to Talplng lake. IN
the Malay peninsula. So long as they
confined their attention to the tish and
an occasional duck no one objected to
their presence. but when one Of them
( began to take sheep OF the bank as
they came down to drink It was felt
that the saurians ought to be exter-
minated. and an Englishman and his
servant made the attempt.
Obtaining a dugout. they padded
into deep water. The servant was
already barefoot. and the Englishman
himself took Of shoes and stockings.
so that his bare feet might have as
good a hold as possible on the smooth
bottom Of the canoe. A bait was at
tached to a heavy rattan. and soon
tug and a plunge indicated that the
crocodile was fast to one end. In
mediately the canoe begOn to move
through the water. After a protracted
struggle the Englishman managed to
get the crocodile within a few yards
Of the canoe. At one moment the open
jaws would surge out Of the broken
water and snap together In unpleasant
proximity to the mems legs; the next
moment the heavy tail would swing
free OF the water and with the weight
Of a falling pole would hit the side OF
the canoe a blow that made 1t shiver.
As the crocodile surged close TO the
canoe and the open mouth appeared
above the water the servant slipped a
moose Of stout cord over the upper jaw

hind the point OF its nostrils. Then.
with a quick turn OF his wrist, be slip

tight. and the teeth Of each jaw press

The servant now grasped the point OF
the long. narrow head with one hand
and with the other rapidly wound the
cord round the clinched mouth.
Another moose was slipped over a
fore leg. Il pulled the leg up to the
side. The servant slipped the
line over the creatures back and
caught up the other fore leg. Then he
noosed and tied together the hind legs.
The effect he had achieved was won
