QOi&y ^$3*2323 to Bowman Livingston had been back from India only a week, yet the fellows at the Colonial Club, among whom he used to bask in an atmosphere of high regard. were already commencing to lock uneasy when he began?no; not began; resumed his interminable stories about tiger hunting. It is not given to every man who carries big guns to India to bringdown three fine tigers, and everybody felt that Livingston should be allowed a little pardonable swagger, but it is wearisome to have to follow through dinner after dinner an enthusiast's long tale about howdahs and shikaris and dai: bungalows and all the Hindustanee rest of it. So it was with gratitude that we all listened to the interruption of Lieutenant de la Roche when he told a tale that stopped poor Livingston's tiger j reminiscences forever. Our buoyant friend was laying down the law that the tiger takes to man eating only when he is too aged and decrepit to hunt wild animals. De la Roche, a dry, brown little fellow late of the French army in Tonquin, begged his i pardon most elaborately, and said: j "I know you will believe that I am cot animated by a spirit of captious -?-'^?contradiction when I tell you of my experience to the contrary. The inci- j dent was so awful that I am reluctant to speak cf it. I assure you that every time I hear cr read the word tiger the air about me seems to vibrate with the shrieks that I shall never forget. "I was leading a surveying expedition last year over the Pou Cha Kong Mountains., on the way into China, when we suddenly found our, selves menaced by a horde of tigers. Nothing I had ever heard prepared me for such a siege as this. In the daytime we could see the huge, si- ! lent, black-and-yellow beasts slinking through the bush not far from our column. They never came near enough to attack us in force, but they trotted and walked watchfully along i a course parallel with ours, and | seemed 10 be always waiting for a j chance to pounce upon any strag-! gler. Yen may believe that we ad- j vanced with absolutely unbroken j unity. "I -had always beiieved that the tiger is a solitary creature, that hunts , alone, or, at most, in pairs. But here < they were actually stalking us in ^ numbers?we often saw as many as seven or eight at one time. Although they only menaced us at long range j j in the day, the tigers were very dan- . gerous at close range after nightfall. Under the advice of cur tai . pan, or head man, I made the camp very compact, and always ended the day's march at least one hour before ( the brief twilight. Then we built a i ring of camp-fires around our stop- ^ ping place to keep the tigers away. You Americans have heard of the awful temperature in the Philippines. Believe me it is still hotter and mere moist in Tcnquin. Add to that the . warmth from the campfires, and you 1 shall derive from the sum total some * idea cf the awful heat we had to undergo every night. The air was ' stifiing. We slept very little, and j' then only fitfully. "One night, as we were dozing in- j Bide our ring of fire in the Wang !; Hoa Forest, we were aroused by the \ cries of human beings in awful dis- J tress. My friends. I have heard at : the opera and in the theatre sounds 3 which represented the sounds of 3 many souls in agony, but never have 1 listened to such shrieks as those. The number of voices seemed to be myriad. There could he no doubt of the dire extremity of the people. 3n a moment every one in our camp was wide awake. I called the tai pan. ! " Get the beys ready,* I ordered him. 'We must save those people.' " 'My lord,' he replied, 'it is mad- < cess. Do not lead us outside of the ring cf fires. If we go we shall die. j The tigers will devour us. They are J at work now. It is the cries of their 1 victims thai we hear. We can do 2:0 ' 1 good, and if we go we die.' "Gradually the cries diminished in j volume, died into silence. I felt j < rather than heard the rustle cf every j; leaf in the forest. Sleep was 5m- < possible for any of us. We tossed j 1 on our cots, oppressed by the ;1 stifling heat of our pi*otecting f.res, I < and frightened by the screams that j ? till rang in our ears. j i "It was safe to ventwa ost at; < daybreak: so, with my subaltern, the tai pan, and a dozen ma foos, I proceeded in the direction from which the sounds had come. We broke suddenly into a clearing in the forest, around which stood a grove of stout camphor-trecs. "Fastened to the trees by thick ropes were the tattered remnants of vrliat once had been human beings. How savagely they had been mangled j I shall refrain from telling you. I j knew at once the history of that I tragedy. And even as the thought j flashed through my mind the tai pan ! uttered it in words. " 'Tigers,' he whispered. 'Tigers.' "Snrr.A nf tht? mn fnna wprp mpr.i. WV,""V v ~ * W" v i hers of the Black Brotherhood, but they all shuddered at the frightful sight that confronted us. I put them all to work burying the dead, and j while they were at this task I counted j the bodies. There were fifty-eight, of them. "The* tai pan came running across the clearing. " "Master,' he cried, 'one of them i is still living.' "Impossible as this seemed, I hastened to where a group of the men were gathered around a wretched creature on the ground. I gave the poor torn one a big drink of rice cordial (samshu), and within a few moments he revived enough to talk. " 'There were one hundred of us in rebellion against the Prince Wai Ko Ling.' he said, "and he defeated us in a great battle, and made fiftyeight prisoners. He gave an order, and we were led into this forest and tied to the trees. That was at the tenth hour of yesterday. All day long we stood still, lashed to the strong trees, our bodies bruised by the ropes as we struggled to get free, our throats parched by thirst. " 'At nightfall the tigers came. Many tigers. We could see them ^"ar off at first, walking about and lashing their tails, and always coming a little nearer. When it was quite dark_ we could see their yelloweyes moving in the darkness, always creeping a little nearer. Some of our men went mad. They cried out like tigers?as much like tigers as they could. " 'For a time the beasts were frightened by the cries, for they feared a trap. But at last one tiger plunged boldly through our circle and into the open space. Then another and another. The place was full of tigers. We could not see them clearly, but their eyes were blazing like torches, and we could make out a great mass of bodies twisting and leaping over one another. They purred like cats. " 'One tiger suddenly charged out cf the mass and leaped upon my brother. My lord, he was dead at the first blow. Then another and another leaped and struck. What could we do but cry out? We are ! only men. I saw a great beast leap- J ing at me. and I knew no more until ! you. my lord, gave me life out of a i cup.' "My friends, that man died as he ! was speaking to us. I suppose the j tiger that struck him left him to ! prey upon a larger man with more j flesh, and that is why he survived I so long. We buried all the victims, i and hurried away. The tigers con- ! Linued to follow us until we crossed ! a great river. I hope never to look i upon a tiger again."?From Harper's Weekly. * s I 15 H17V GS , Russia's regular army ?s 1,100,- ! 300; her war footing, 4,000,000.

Household Matters. i Washing Lace. I Lacs may be easily washed and I made white again if put to soak in i a basin of warm water in which soap I powder has been worked into a I lather. Two or three of these warm I lathers in twenty-four hours will be ' found to cleanse very dirty lace without rubbing. For Kettles. The inside of Irettles should either be dried whenever the contents have been emptied, or they should be hung up or stood upside down in a dry place. A few drops of water if allowed to collect at the bottom of a bet tie, scon cause spots or rust, and these in time generate into holes. The Ice Chest. To keep an ice chest in good condition wash thoroughly once a week with cold or lukewarm water in which washing soda has been dissolved. If by chance anything is still in the ice chest it should be wiped off at once. Milk and butter very quickly absorb odor and if in ice chest with other foods should be kept closely covered.

Iron pots, kctt'es, skittles?in fact, any iron pieces, can be cleaned if the pieces are placed on a clear coal fire which has died down to red coals. This prevents smoking the articles, ! Cnly one piece at a time should be placed on the coal fire and burned | until it is almost red hot. Remove | with coal tongs and allow to cool, after which scrape with pot rings j and sandpaper; then wash with soap ' : sues. ! A Stove Duster. To wipe dust from a stove without! soiling the hands take an old stock-1 ing, which has been discarded, place j your hand in the foot and draw the : stocking over your arm.- Then turn I it back until you have folded it over to half its length, thus having "two thicknesses over the hand. The stocking will clean every par tide of dust and dirt from the stove and your hand will be as clean after' the operation as it was before. The' stocking will, of course, need 10 be replaced from time to time. Shabby Carpets. To clean and brighten a shabby j carpet, cut an ounce of yellow soap , into small squares and make into a j lather with a pint of boling water. ; Add to this a quart of water and one! ounce of borax. Place the mixture 011 the range, and bring it to a boil; j then remove it, and when quite cold : add an ounce each of alcohol and j ammonia and half an ounce of; glycerine. Wipe over a small portion i of the carpet at a time, and rub i vigorously with a clean flannel j (which should be repeatedly turned i as it gets soiled) dipped in the mix-! ture, until all the spots are removed ! and the color revived.

HAYWOOD'S STATEMENT In His Own Defense, in Court at Boise, .Contradicts Story of Orchard at tvery roirn. "William D. Haywood took the oath in the criminal court at Boise, Idaho, Thursday afternoon as a witness in his own defense, and in a lengthy narrative of his life and his work, as a leader of his fellow miners that was interrupted by adjournment, denied guilt cf the murder cf Frank Steunenberg and the manifold crimes charged against him by Harry Orchard. Haywood was pale and trembling with nervousness when he left the table of his counsel, and walked around to the elevated witness stand, where he faced the judge and jury, and raised his right hand to be sworn. When he began to respond to Clarence Darrow's Questions his voice was low and somewhat uncertain, but within ten minutes he had regained his composure. As he told of his boyhood, that began with toil at the age of 9, and gave his family history, his invalid wife, who sat just to the left of the witness stand, began sobbing softly. Her mother-in-law and her nurse soon comforted her, however, and during the rest of the afternoon she and others of Taywood's kinsfolk remained quiet ba; deeply concerned auditors. Kay wood's testimony was chiefly characterized by positive denials of the allegations made against him by the prosecution. He denied that he met Orchard until some time after the Vindicator mine explosion- denied participation in the Lyte Gregory murder and denied suggesting or discussing the Steunenberg murder.

HAYWOOD'S STOW General Denial of Orchard's Incriminating EvidenceHE ADMITS MANY THINGS Regarded Governor Steunenberg as an Enemy to Labor, But Had Net Thought cf Him After kwavi.i^ luciiiw* William D. Haywood, on trial at Boise for the murder of Frank Sleunenberg, left the witness chair Friday afternoon, after he had been under examination six hours in his own defense, the time being equally divided between his own counsel and Senator Borah, who conducted the cross-examination. Haywood's testimony closes the defense, except for one witness, whose examination wil ltake up about fifteen minutes. The state will then begin the rebuttal, unless motions to strike ofit certain parts of the evidence should be brought forward by. the defense. Counsel for the state announces willingness to abide by the instructions to the jury by the court, and will not make arguments on motions to strike out. There is a prospect now that the ? case may be brought to a conclusion within two weeks. Cross-examination of Haywood began Friday morning an hour after the opening of court. Bo ia.li i> ci uas-cAuunucuiuu, aiways rapid, was more than usually precipitate, but from first to last Haywood preserved complete possession and control of himself. At times his replies came as quickly as the ques:ions were slung at him. Again he would hesitate and speak slowly with a marked emphasis. Once when Senator Borah pressed Kay wood as to his sentiment toward former Governor Steunenberg Haywood said quietly and with a smile: "I felt no different towards Steunenberg, senator, than I do towards you or any of these people." Senator Borah looked up quickly, but he did not smile. He said quietly: "Yes, I have been given to understand something of that sort," and did not pursue the subject. Much of Haywood's testimony was a. repetition of what Mover said on the witness stand. Haywood, however,, made no effort to deny his knowledge Df Orchard and his affairs or his connection with Simpkins. When pressed :IoseIy as to the pasasge of telegrams relating to the engagement of counsel :o defend Orchard, Haywood admitted :hat he knew Simpkins had retained counsel, but that there was no record )f any report from Simpkins to the LVestern Fprlprarion T.ikp TVfovPr TTnv vood had never heard Orchard make :hreats against Steunenberg, though. 3e had heard of Orchard's ascertain hat Orchard had lost his interest in lie Hercules mines because of troubles n the Coeur d'Aienes. Haywood explained the draft sent :o Simpkins for $100 on December 21, l905, on the ground that Simpkins lad left the money with him for safekeeping. He had no acknowledgment rom Simpkins since that time. Hayvood said he never told Pettibcne that le had sent any money to Simpkins. n his opening speech, Attorney Darow said it was doubtful whether the lefeuse would attempt to explain the opy of the letter received by Orchard n jail at Caldwell, saying "that it ras sent on December."
