she set off on three legs, weakly to fol-

something.
Besides tracking him by scent. it
was easy for the tigress TO follow the
tiger. because of the peculiar howl
which was at times uttered Wailingly
by a jackal, himself following the
great striped one. This howl is only
given by a jackal when in the vicinity
of a tiger that is out to kill
For about an hour the track led
steadily uphill till it came to a park
like land OF teak tree clumps, and
here suddenly, for only the third time
in her life, I think, she heard the deep
reyerberating roar of her spouse 1t
followed on a low, wailing sort OF
snarl which she knew well as his, too,
and it was followed by a succession of
terrific snorts which came from some
thing much bigger than he
1t caused her to crouch flat and
creep carefully closer, till she came to
the edge of a moOnlit glade. Peering
out she saw standing in the center of

black, old bull Indian bison, kind of
buffalo known also as a gaur. He was
a giant with sweep of horns not
less than three feet. His eyes smoul-
dered red under the helmet OF his
massive horns and his breath came in
clouds. In front Of him crOuched her
mate Then she realized how scarce
game must have become under their
rule, and how pressed her mate was to
get her food. Those two seemed to
have been fighting there for some
time, too, for both bore slight wounds.
Suddenly the tiger did strange
thing; he deliberately rolled over in
the face of his foe. 1t was indeed a
risky thing to do, fer bison and tigers
are nearly equally matched. OF course,
the bison instantly charged, thinking
his enemy was done for; and this was

Then, spinning even as he did so, he
delivered a long, slashing blow with
his paw at the passing bison. 1t was
a clever act and a daring, for in one

turned the balance of battle and made
success certain. He had hamstrung
the foe
Then the tigress came out and to-

slew the stately old bull

Ranks Fifth In Industries.
Since the laundry business has re-
Gently developed to the rank of fifth
country, it has called into action an
army of, workers which have hereto
fore been unrecognized among the
wage earners of the nation. \ few
years ago, the census department m
cluded laundry workers with personal
and domestic servants, but it now lists
them separately. There are about
10000 people employed in the 5,lS6
power laundries of the country in ad-
edition to those working in the small
er establishments. About IS percent OF
these are women The capital invest
ed in these industries amounts TO $685.
936, 900, besides the utilization Of
large amount of rented property
tanned to $4,000, 600 annually. The VAL
ne of the laundry work done last year
by public laundries amounted to about
sos, 900, 900. The wages paid in the
laundries are as yet below that OF
many other industries. but there are
increases being made in most Of the
large cities
The great cost Of laundry machinery
and the Improvements constantly be-
ing made is partially responsible for
the low pay of the workers, most OF
whom are not qualified for any other
work Considering the comparatively
recent development Of the industry, It
is reasonable to suppose that within
a few years the hardships now exist
ing viii have been largely overcome.
Laundry Machinery.
The manufacture of laundry machin-
cry in the United States amounts to
millions of dollars annually and It is
being exported to every civilized coun-
try, Russia. having been one of the last
to call IL into service. In addition to
the machinery. there are other supplies
required in the equipment of a mod
ern laundry calling for large expendi-
lures. An item of no small cost is the
wrappings for sending out the goods
The best firms now have special en-
veIcpe made for each shirt and the
shirt is folded in such a manner as to
be readily put on This is a great i'm
provement over fastening It together
with pins. as was done until recently
to the irritation Of every man who
wanted to dress hurriedly.
Most of the better laundries also
have dispensed with the small buttons
formerly used to fasten the neck bands
and collars in place There are long.
slender envelopes that are designed
for the collars which are ironed flat,
while for those which are rolled, suit
able boxes are provided Many laun-
dries send all of their wark home
in boxes instead Of paper packag es and
this involves considerable expense.

" HE torchlight procession is now as
extinct as the dodo, but 20 years
ago it was the most influential
political argument in the United States,
ranking above the straight ticket. the
grand old flag and 'our glorious republic
as vote getter.
The torchhght procession consisted of
from 200 to 10000 patriots, each one
bearing a tin torch stuck in long
wooden handle. As the living serpent of
flame. wound down the street at night,
emitting frantic whoops at intervals,
strong men on the side lines wept with
remorse and vowed never to vote for the
opposition again. This was particularly
true if the opposition had only been able
to scare up half as many patriots who
were strong enough IN the faith to take
new fall suit under a leaky torch and
annoint it in the sacred cause of liberty.
The tOrehlight procession was simple
at first but like everything else in
American life it soon became eompli-
Gated. In 1884 the Democrats introduced
painted and elaborate torches and in
fiicted a crushing defeat on the Repub-
hcans. However, the latter appeared in
1888 wearing oil cloth capes and helmets.
This enabled Republican to 60 through
the entire campaign in the same suit of
clothes and the common people who had
no clothes to spare rushed into the ranks
in droves. In 1892 the tin and kerosene
trusts raised prices and the wave of in
dignation swept the Democrats back into
power but in 1896 the Republicans en-
ployed the fambeau or eruptive torch
which with tongue of flame 10 feet
long could be shot into the whisllers of
the enemy and perfected themselves in
the art of carrying torch in one hand
and shooting a roman candle in the
other. No human could withstand these
