THE FEAST OF TIGERS i

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.'

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.

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.
To Clean Paintings.
To clean an oil painting that is
covered with dirt and fly specks wipe
I all the dust from the painting with
a soft cloth. Put a little linseed oil

say that in cleaning a painting nothing

To Clean Rusty Iron.
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 '

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. When you i
have finished you will be delighted j

Solomons was taken to Beaufort and t
given a preliminary hearing before t
Magistrate White, which lasted for five j
bears, being conducted on the part of i
the state by Attorney General Lyon. |
After hearing the evidence in the case, | H
Magistrate White decided that it was j
insufficient to warrant his holding j
Solomons for the higher court, and he j T
was therefore discharged. P
The second arrest was that of W. H. ^

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
