,LL BOW TO MY LORD TIGER
Natives Of the East Most Willingly
Accord Him Royal Rank-ls
Sacred From Attack.

OF all the animals deified in the East
none is regarded with more awe than
my lord tiger. Especially throughout
Siam and Indo-China, the tiger is king.
Shrnes are built and sacrifices made
to him; he Is as sacred from the at
tack of the natives as is the white ele1
plant of Siam.
If there are fewer tigers in this part
Of the East today, 1t is due largely to
the efforts Of western sportsmen who
occasionally can persuade bribe, or
threaten few natives to aid them in
hunt, Any such lack of respect on
the part of the natives is, however,
looked upon frowningly by their neigh
bors who seem to fear that the tiger
will forget the exact individual who
attacked him and remember only the
community.
Native reverence goes so far as to
allow tiger to prowl undisturbed
about a village night after night at
lacking and sometimes killing those
so unfortunate as to cross his path. In
the day the sacred beast retires to his
mountain domain. where he stays en-
tlrely hidden until nightfall.
1t is obvious that the royal tiger
rules entirely by fear. Awe-inspirng
he is himself, and his supremacy Is
helped along by the attitude of the
natives. To the tiger are attributed
all manner of supernatural powers 1t
is held that he always knows and
tracks down those who offend him; he
can even turn himself into a human
being, the better to seek out his enc
mics.

BERKSHIRE TROLLEY
TROUBLE DISCUSSED
(eeIuL esd moI1 penupuoo)

The labor demands as recently
made will involve the expense of APP
proxlmately $500 day. There is
no fight with the employees, who
undoubtedly should have the in
crease, but the company will have
to get more money from some source
to pay it, he said. In the opinion
of the witness the Berkshire street
railway company is beyond help un
der present conditions. So long as
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad will make up the
amount OF the deficit the trolley com
pany can operate.
The requirement of the Hoosac
Valley road for 100000 and the
Pittsfield system for 100000 was al
fair value, but the 100000 paid
for the original Berkshire system was
different matter in the opinion OF
the witness. The New Haven rail
road is carrying $4OOO,0OO in stock
Of the company, he said.
The company has paid only one
dividend since the New Haven took
control, said the witness, and the
deficit has grown steadily during the
five years Of that control. The
peop'e of the small towns depend
upon the trolleys and under the
present conditions are experiencing
great difficulty in getting to their
places of employment Mr.. Hib-
bard said his stenographer, who
ives in Lee. is obliged 10 nav 81 per
day for ride in an automobile to
get to her work. People living In
the outskirts of Pittsfeld, he said
have to walk long distances to fac
tories and stores. The streets are
damned with jitneys and buses,
some of which have come from points
as far distant as New Jersey to do
business, High rates of fare are
charged generally.
Mr.. Hubbard was of the opinion
that the only remedy for the stu
alton in Berkshie county is to make
the county transportation area
whereby the deficit should be made
up by taxation. II can see no pros
pect for starting car in motion UNI
less some method of that kind is put
in operation" he said. 1.-The PEG.
pie do not like to be taxed, but this
is a pubic necessity and some rem
edy must be devised Each town
served directly or indirectly should
pay proporticnate share of the
cost. The people of Berkshire
county realize fully the critical con
dition they are in and are willing to
do their share"
The witness was of the opinion
that the Berkshire street railway
company could not get credit for $50
in Pittsiield, and stated that he cited
this not to injure the company, but
as explaining the conditions There
are at the present time, he said
judgments against the company for
$4,000 held by the Boston G. AL
bany railroad on account of coal
The trolley company was recently
unable to secure repairs on broken
part of a machine at its plant unless
the money were advanced.
