the tiger hunters comfort and pro-
lection. This latest modern tiger hunt,
under the auspices and management of
a big East Indian official, had all the
features 10 familiar to US al school
boys but it was so different in other
respects. First the invited guests rode
on q railroad to within fifty miles of
the wilderness. the home Of the big
cat. At the depot were q number of
automobiles to take these invited
guests right into the jungle. When the
hills were too steep for the machine,
elephants with ropes hauled them to
the top. Roads were made so the ma
chimes could travel into the very home
OF the tiger. On their arrival cottages
of the bungalow type were ready for
them, even flower beds were there full
OF the choicest kinds in bud and
blossom. Every day fresh meat, ice
and fresh vegetables came to them
from ninety miles away. Champagne
literally flowed like water. Now listen,
telephones were in operation every
mile or so, SO that when the natives
drove up the tigers for them to shoot
messages We're sent and received Civ

the tiger. Even Roosevelt didn't hunt
the tiger with all of these modern
conveniences.
