Man-Eatinu iuers.

Man Eaters begin their scourge of
villages in India only when age begins
to stiffen their muscles and when hui
man flesh is once tasted they crave for
nothing else, according to Paul Drevy,
in the World Wide Magazine.
Increasing difficulty in selling the
small and agile denizens of the jungle,
writes Drevy. leads the tiger to attack
persons as means of gaining his food
The success with which the man eat
ers have been able to secure human
flesh has led them to throw off the
old instinct of terror Of man.
Ineursions of man eaters in India
often die down for ten or fifteen years.
says Drevy. and then some eommun-
ity finds within few days that any
number of its members have disap-
peared and a search is made for the
animal. In one district of the CEN
tral provinces. 30 persons disappeared
in 40 days. The beast WAS finally kill
ed by an English officer
In another section II villages were
the scene of invasions for more than
three months. Finally. more than o.
900 armed men set out to find the man
eater, but without result. The animal,
on one of its incursions bounded over
garden fence and impaled itself on
a stake.
In India few animals under fifteen
years of age have been known to at
tack persons. It is generally after
that age that they begin their attacks
on human lives.

DESERVED TO SAVE PUPPIES
shrewd old Mother Coyote Wasted
Mo Time Trying to Get Them
Out of the Sack.

The coyote is unpopular both among
human beings and among its fellow
animals; but the coyote is very intel
ligent as well as unpopular. evidently
sharing these peculiarities with the
fox.
Two young men who lived near Gar
field, in the state of Washington
Mathews and Babcock by name-were
piowing one spring when they came
upon family of three young coyotes.
They took possession of the little crea-
lures; and meantime The old coyotes.
the little ones parents. kept lowering
about in an unpleasant way.
BY and by. 20 get rid Of them.
Mathews went to his house. got his
brother Henry. gun and gunny-
sack. The little coyotes were put in
to the sack. which was then securely
tied al the mouth. The old coyotes
now disappeared. but in the hope of
turing them so near that he could get
a shot at them Mathews went to fol-
lowing the plowmen about the field,
leaving at the end the bag with the
little ones. Two or three times the
party went around the field but al
though the old coyotes were seen
they kept at a safe distance.
But soon as the plowmen and the
gunner came around toward the place
where they had left the sack they
saw strange sight; it was the old
mother coyote. with the sack in her
mouth. making off over the hill at
full speed.
Henry fred at her. but without eff
feet. She made good her escape with
her puppies tied up in the sack, and
doubtless she had no difficulty In rip
ping the bag open and liberating the
young ones as soon as she reached
safe place.
If she had been so foolish as to at
tempt to open the sack before picking
up the puppies she would certainly
have lost the young ones and her life

were to be married had white cloth
tackled down over the carpet and an
altar arranged at one side.
Just before the wedding party en-

room and jumped about on the white

some one drove it out Some said 1t
was a sign of bad luck, but the others
laughed at their superstition.
The couple travelled to Chicago on
their honeymoon. The night they ar
