BUILD TIGER PROOF HOUSES
Malay Natives Perch Their Houses
High Up in Trees to Escape
Beasts.

The ordinary Malay house is built on
posts from five to seven feet high;
but one which | came across was
perched high up in tree. 1t was
the home of a man, his wife and fam
lily, 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 neigh
borhood
AS tigers have been known to jump
Is feet in vertical height somewhere
above 20 feet is considered to be the
limit of safety. The Malayan house
is frail and fiimsy structure Of sticks
tied together with rattan matched with
palm leaves and walled with plated
bamboo, or, as in this case, with the
bark of tree.
1t is therefore an easy matter for a
tiger with its great strength to break
into a house and attack the inhabit-
ants. Many instances of this have
been recorded in Malaga. In one well
known case whole family were kill
ed except one man, who climbed up
into the roof, and thus escaping the
notice of the tiger, was Mortified OBJ
server of the cruel mauling and ulti-
mate slaughter and devouring Of his
elatives.-Strand.

WHEN IRVING PLAYED ROMEO
Silence, Light and Actors, the Three
Things Necessary for Artistic Eff

Wendell Phillips Dodge relates an
incident growing out of the first meet
ing of Robert Mantell with Sir Henry
Irving, back in 1882, when both We're
playing Romeo in London There We're
reviewers who found Irving too old
for the youthful Romeo, and one adj
vised that he should make way for
'the young fellow over at the Olym-
pic" Irving prepared a special aft
ernoon performance in the Lyceum, to
which all the players in London were
invited After it was over, Mantell
went back of the stage, and Irving ask
ed him how he liked the performance.
1T has been like an afternoon at
school with congenial lessons" replied
Mantell. How do you do it? How
do you manage effects? How do you
get such atmosphere, such realiza-
ton of the glory OF the tragedy, with
such little effort? Is there no recipes"
There is; indeed there is" answer
ed Irving. simple, too; only three
things to remember The first Is ST.
lence, and plenty of it behind the
scenes, so that the actor may be at
ease, with nothing to distract when
striving for his shadings. The second
is light, regulated as far as possible so
that nature is counterfeited-and that,
young man, is the recipe"
But" protested Mantel, ''you said
there were three things to remember;
you have mentioned but two. Is there
a third?'
did l say a third?" asked Irving.
"Um, perhaps I did, perhaps did;
but what could / have had in mind?
Let me see. All, yes, silence, light,
and-um, shall I say-actors? Re-
member that, my boy, actors. Silence,

At Los Angeles, Cal, Clarence
S. barrow of Chicago was acquit-

in the trial of James B. Mcnamara.
The jury was out only few minutes.
The courtroom scene which fol-

one that has had no parallel in this

Jurors embraced the acquitted man
and with tears streaming down their
cheeks declared it was the happiest
day of their lives Court officials, in

dozen bailiffs, joined in the congratu.

stood speechlessly happily with one
hand in her husbands and the other

CAMPAIGN PLANNED
BY REPUBLICANS
cAsS COUNTY REPUBLICANS
HELD HARMONIOUS GATHER
ING AT COURTHOUSE LAST
NIGHT-ENooRsED STATE AND
COUNTY TICKETS. ". .

A perfectly harmonious political
meeting is indeed a rare thing these
days, and for that reason alone the
session of the Cass county republican
executive committee and the county
republican candidates held at the
courthouse last night was quite note
worthy in the political annals of 1912.
Perfect harmony prevailed at the
meeting called by County Chairman
Callahan and Secretary Shure. All
he candidates on the county repub-
liCan ticket for office this year were
present and took an active part in
the planning of the campaign this fall.
The entire state ticket. from the
republican nominee for governor
down to the railroad commissioners,
was heartily endorsed, as well as the
Cass county republican ticket. Many
expressions of confidence in the men
who are on the ticket this year were
heard from prominent county repub-
licans who were present at the meet
ing.
1t is planned that a personal cam
paign by the candidates themselves
shall be followed this year, which will
probably be concluded with several
automobile trips and one big trip over
the entire county. Both County Chair
mar Callahan and Secretary Shure,
as we'll as all the members of the ex-
ecutive committee, are very optimistic
over the outlook his year and feel
sure the whole ticket will carry on
Nov. 5.
The members of the county repub-
lican county executive committee who
were present and took an active part
in the meeting last night were: w.
