WILD PIGS OF BRAZIL.
Fate of Jaguar That Fell Into Their
MerciIess Clutches.

MerciIcss Clutches.
The wild pigs of Central and South
America have a reputation for ferocity
and indomitable pluck and are exceed
ingly dangerous enemies to meet. Mr..
J. Bigg-Wither. in pioneering In South
Brazil" tells this story of an explorers
experience of them. Elliott, the ex-
plorer. and a Brazilian companion
named Lopez were camping in the for
est between two Brazilian rivers.
Suddenly they heard. close at hand,
n tremendous uproar of grunting and
squeaking.
"'Pigsr exclaimed Elliott. Roast
pork for support
"'Come onr was the only comment
of Lopez, and he led the way in the
bright moonlight toward a little open
space among the pines.
"In few minutes they came to the
edge of the clearing, and there they
saw, not one pig. but drove of fifty
or sixty, all furious with rage and
vainly endeavoring to get at jaguar
that was sitting in fear and trembling
on the top of an ant hill, about FIVE
feet above the ground.
Don't fire. said Elliott. Let's wait
a minute. We haven't got too much
ammunition, and we can't afford to
waste any,
1.-THE jaguar, with his tail well up In
the air, out of reach of the foe. was
tottering about on the top of the ant
hill, with his four feet close together
and turning first in one direction and
then in another to meet successive at
tacks
"Just then the jaguar let his tail
drop. In a second the pigs had laid
hold of the appendage and had pulled
the beast into the midst of them. A
terrible battle ensued. From time to
time the massive yellow body of the
jaguar would rise above the rolling
herd of pigs, and his paws could be
seen dealing out deadly blows on every
side Then he would sink again and be
buried under the bodies of his raging
foes After awhile the noise began to
subside.
where's the jaguarg asked Ell.
lott Il can't see him anywhere
"'Nor I either added Lopez
"One by one the excited pigs moved
Off When they had all departed the
two men descended into the arena.
There were fourteen pigs lying dead or
dying on the ground, but there was no
jaguar. Presently Lopez stopped down.
picked up a fragment of something
yellow and, holding it up, remarked:
"'Here he is
"He had found a bit Of the jaguar's
skin. almost the only fragment of his
body left. He had been torn to pieces
and devoured by his vicious foes, and
nothing was left of him except few
scraps of skin and hair"

Inflated Theatrical Values.

''The show business proper-namely,
the business of securing and producing
plays for the entertainment of the
theater going public-is business OF
false and inflated values" writes q
prominent theatrical manager In the
American Magazine. Preparations.
receipts. salaries, expenditures. costs
of. production. losses on failure and so
on through the hst-everything is in
fated.
1.-The 100000 production probably
cost 100000. out of which. in case Of
failure, there was a salvage Of $4,000
The $4,000 production can easily be
duplicated for $4,000, and many a
dramatic production has been made for
from $4,000 to $4,000 that in the pub
lished figures represented an outlay of
3d., 900 before the curtain rose"
