to extend an appropriation to help
in this work, General Mcintyre makes
no criticism of this attitude on the
part of the national legislature but
points out that such financial assist
ance might lead to dependence upon

TIGER PROOF HOMES.

Malay Houses, Frail and FIimsy,
Sometimes Porch In Tree Tops.
The ordinary Malay house is built on
posts from five TO seven feet high, but
one which l came across was perched
high up in tree. 1t was the home of
a man. his wife and family, and they
informed me that it was placed in this
unusual situation so as to be out Of the
way of the numerous tigers which then
infested the neighborhood.
As tigers have been known to Jump
eighteen feet in vertical height some
where about twenty feet is considered
TO be the limit of safety. The Malayan
house is a fral and flimsy structure Of
sticks tied together with rattan thatch-
ed with palm leaves and walled with
plated bamboo or, as in this case, with
the bark of trees.
1t is therefore an easy matter for q
tiger with its great strength to break
into a house and attack the inha bitants-
Many instances Of this have been re-
corded in Malaga. In one well known
case u whole family were killed except
one man. who. climbing up into the
roof and thus escaping the notice OF
the tiger. was a Mortified observer of

PERRY SCOTS TURKEY.
This Wonderful Bird Was Well Fixed
With Legs and Wings.

This Wonderful Bird Was Well Fixed
With Legs and Wings.
The story of Perry Scott's turkey has
come down from Revolutionary days in
Carolina. Colonel Gordon was accus-
toned to tell of the hasty march which
he made before Rudolphs legion. He
WINS just sitting down to dinner when
orders were given to cross the Ashley
river. It was nearly nightfall when he
bivouacked in a valley in which the
cavalry under Wayne had just en-
camped and, with his officers, began to
sup on dry bread and potatoes. The
infantry which he commanded were in
a starving condition, and the commits
sary was without money, but raiding
upon the farmers was sternly made
punishable by death.
Reports of the hungry condition of
the newcomers had circulated among
Waynes men. Just as the colonel be-
gan to eat his musty bread a private
from Wayne's cavalry appeared and
said respectfully: Perry Scott had
some money, colonel, and bought q
turkey. We have unfortunately eaten
all but one leg. / took the liberty Of
bringing that to you The colonel
took the leg gratefully and had scarce
ly finished it when another of Wayne's
men appeared with the same story of
Perry Scott's turkey and another leg.
The colonel congratulated himself on
his luck and, handling the drumstick
over to q fellow officer went ont of the
tent 1t was growing dark. Another
cavalryman came up, whispered the
story Of Perry Scott and cautiously
handed over a third leg. The colonel
continued his walk through the camp
and before his return had been secretly
offered twenty legs and fourteen wings
Of Perry SCOTS turkey.
Wayne's men had raided q poultry
yard the previous night and concocted
the story Of Perry Scott's purchase to
protect themselves in case any turkey
bones should be discovered The hun
ger bitten faces of their new comrades
were more than they could bear, how
ever, and each man, unknown 10 the
others, carried his share into Gordon's
camp at the risk Of detection and
death. It was not until the war was
over and the troops disbanded that
