JUNGLE MONARCH "BlG GAME"
Tiger Can Always Be Relied On to
Furnish Sport for the Most Adj
venturous Hunter.

The tiger is one variety of game
which is in no danger of extermina-
ton. Tigers have been hunted for
centuries. They furnished sport to
the ancient Romans, both in the arena
where they faced the gladiators and
in the open field. Before that, they
were the game Of great Egyptian mon
archs. 1t is doubtful whether primi-
tive man was able to kill the tiger at
all.
Today tigers are comparatively easy
game for the wealthy sportsmen who
hunt them with the great double-bar
relied English rifles carrying express
bullets. A great crswd of beaters US
ually assists at the sport, and drives
the tiger into the open. though occa-
siOnally he is killed by watching at the
carcass Of an animal he has killed. Oc-
c2sionally tiger kills hunter, but
not often. In India and aiso La Korea
many unarmed and half-nahed natives
are killed by'users ever year. In the
war betvsa men and tigers 1t is hard
TO say which is Winning.

MODERN DOLL WORK CT ART
Children Of the Long Ago Were Salts.
fed With Very Ordinary Counter
feits of Nature.

It is interesting to contrast the
plump, really truly looking American
doll of today with the crude, legless,
lOng-armed wooden dollies with which
the little Egyptian girls used to play.
These Egyptian dolls had wooden hair
and funny long arms that reached al
most to the knees and they never had
any feet at all, says the Boston Post.
For clothes all there ever was for
them to wear was just a strip of cot
ton cloth wound round and round
their bodies like bandage.
Worse than that, the poor little Mo-
hammedan children had to play with
headless dolls because the queer rul-
ings Of their religion would not allow
Of any imitation of the human figure.
Biblical children, Esther and Ruth,
probably played with wooden dolls
very much like the Egyptian dolls,
never a bit more beautiful.
Queen Elizabeth had a doll made of
tree bark. It was said to be $50
years old before it came into her pos
session and since she died it has
never been located
Dolls began to get better about that
period and Mary Queen of Scots
owned a collection of dolls that would
move their arms and legs they being
operated with springs. AS early as
1413 came dolls with voices that
would squeak. Wigs carse in 1920 and
walking dolls in 1925, but they we're
all queer and unlOvabfe compared to
the delightful "mamma""papa" talk
ing, walking winky-eyed, real curly
haired dolls that the little American
girl can have for her very own chill
dren.
