•T bad already learned something
about the habits of tbe man cater and
lener/’ just how to go at it. From in
quiry among the natives 1 ascertained
the exact location of the lair of the
tiger, and for a small compensation 1
succeeded in securing the eorvjccs of
a coolie to guide mu to the place.
“Starting late in the afternoon, wo
mode our way slowly through the
jungle, and just ahont dusk reached
the spot. Now, the night is the lest
time to bug a man cater, for iic is then
asleep, and may lie shot before he is
aroused. Knowing this, I had brought
with me a bull’s-eye lantern, llefore
night had set in fully I got everything
in readiness and waited until it grew
pitch dark. Having in the meantime
located the exact position of the lair, I
left my guide, who, by tills time, was
almost terror-stricken, behind me, and
on my hands and knees crept through
the jungle. Ily the cautious use of my
lantern I found the lair. Turning on
the light, I was a little startled to dis
cover the huge beast curled up and
sound asleep. Ilis head was resting
on his' paws and squarely facing me.
As 1 prepared to level my rifle at him
ho stirred uneasily. Turning tlffe light
full upon him, he raised his head, but
before lie was thoroughly aroused I
Cent a ball from my rifle crashing
through his broln. By good fortune I
had struck him sqHarely*bctween the
eyes. There, was a feast of rejoicing
in tbe village when I returned with the
skin, "v'
“Just before I left China on my
present trip I struck a man eater who
proved to be a tough customer. Ho
was an old fellow and had a record of
about twenty victims. They . sent
for mb and I went after him. I had
with me a double-barreled rifle of
large caliber. I found no difficulty in
tracing him to his lair, but he gave me
a narrow call before I succeeded in fin
ishing him. The trouble >vas that
when I found him he was awake and
ferocious, apparently from- the effects
of hunger. I had shot so many that I
thought nothing of it and gave my tiger
one barrel out of my gun. Most unac
countably I missed him clean, and his
eyes fairly blazed. Lashing the ground
with his tail, he sorang toward mo
like a flash. As he was in the air I let
go with the other barrel and struck
him in the left shoulder, the heavy
ball penetrating to his heart He fell
at my feet and so close was he that
before he died X could feel his hot
breath upon me. It was tho most

narrow escape that 1 ever had. When
measured the tiger was found to be al
most twelve feet in length, and His
claWs Were one and three-quarter

inounted and distributed them among
my friends.
“I could tell yon a great many

one afternoon, after a muleback ride to

the ungainly weapons above their heads
or tossing them into the air and grasp
ing them again as they fall. Helter-
skelter, pell-mell, In “devil-catch-the-

LAND POOR.
I'fe had another offer, wife—a twenty acres
rn :ire, .
Of high and dry prairie land, as level as a floor.
I thought I’d wait and »oo you first, as Lawyer
Brady said,
To tell how things will turn out best, a woman
is ahead.
And when this lot is paid for, and e have got
tht 4 deed,
I’ll say that I am satisfied—it's all tho land we
need:
And next we'll see about the yard, and fix the
hoi. tv up some,
And man .'go in tho course of tlmo to have a
better homo.
V/IFK.
There is no use of talking, Charles—you buy
that twenty more,
And we'll go scrimping all our lives, and alw ays
bo land poor.
For thirty years vo’vo tugged and slaved, deny
ing half our needs,
While all wo have to show for it Is tax receipts
and deeds I
I’d sell the land If it were mine, aud have a bet
ter homo,
With broad, light looms to front the street, and
take lii'o as it conies.
If wo could live as otlieru livo, tnd have what
others do,
We'd live enough sight pleasanter, aud have a
plenty, too.
While others have amusements and luxury and
books,
Just think how stingy wc have lived, and how
this old place looks.
That other farm you bought of Wells, that took
so many years w
Of clearing up and fencing In, has cost mo many
tears. .
Yes, Charles, I’ve thought of it a hundred times
or moro
And wondered if It really paid to always be
hind poor,
That had wo built a cozy house* took pleasure
au It came,
Our children, once so dear to us, had never loft
our home.
I grieve to think of wasted weeks and years and
months and days, <
While for it all wo never yet havo had one word
of praise. \
Mon call us rich, but wo are poor—would wo not
freely give
The land and all Its fixtures for a better way to
live?
Don’t think I’m blaming you, Charles—you’re
not a whit to blame,
I've pitied you these many years to see you
ti rad and lame.
It’s Just trie way wo started out, our plans too
fur ahead,
We’ve worn the'cream of life oway, to leave too
much when dead. . ^
’Tis putting off enjoyment long lifter wo enjoy—
And after all too much of wealth seems useless
as a toy—
Although wc’vo learned, alas, too late, what all
must learn at last,
Our brightest earthly happiness Is burled in tho
past
That life Is short and full of care, the end Is al
ways nigh,
We seldom half begin to livo before we’re
doomed to die.
Were I to start my life again, I’d mark each
separate day,
An<| never let a single one pass unenjoyed away.
If there were things to envy, I’d havo them now
and then,
And havo a home that was a homo, and not a
cage or pen.

awanna valley
coal mine, is a
great friend of
rate. Deis four
teen years of
_ age, and he can
handle the biggest and most vicious
mine rats just os he pleases without
being bitten. No ono else in the mine
can do it, and the miners and mule
drivers assert that Johnny has a mys
terious power over the four-legged
pests of the mine. Johnny never hurts
or kills a rat, although every other
laborer in the mine slays every rat he
gets a chance to, and tbe foreman of
the mule barn sets all sorts of traps
for the rats, and keeps an army of cats
to prey on them. It is impossible to
exterminate tho mine rats, and Johnny
Roche says he is glad of it, because be
would bo lonesome if all the rats were
killed. The rats get Into the mine in
bales of hay for the mules and by
backing down the Umbers of the shaft.
They arrive and breed faster than the
men and cats can kill them, and
Johnny is cheerful whenever a new
hatch comos,
A man fond of oddities found out the
other day when he was lowered into
the mine that Johnny Roche’s way of
catching rats with his bare hands was
very interesting. As soon as there
was nn interval between trips Johnny
placed his lamp on a chunk of coal at
the side of the gangway and crawled
on ids hands and knees into q chamber
a few feet away. In a minute or so a
big grar rat hopped along the top of
the gob, between Johnny and the
light, and the next instant Johnny's
right hand shot out and caught the rat
by the back of the neck. He brought
the rat out to tho lamp to lot tbe
visitor see It and then ho looked In its
mouth, smoothed its fur and held it up
by the talk A trip of oars was com
ing, and Johnny slipped the rat into
his coat pocket, unhooked the link,
hooked another, took the rat out, tied
a strand of lamp wick loosely around
Its neck and drove It back and forth in
the dim light When the lad heard
tho next trip rambling through the
mine toward him ho fastened the wick
to a prop and attended to his duties.
The rot didn’t offer tq yank away or
to bite tho wick in two, but it hopped
about a little and then it sat jipon its
hind quarters, gazed at Johnny and
squealed as though it wanted him to
came and fondle it
“I'll <&tok another rat now and
harness it with this one," said the boy,
and again he crept into the recess and
faced the lamp. The rat danced
around the prop, bnt didn’t break
loose, and just before the next trip
came Johnny nabbed another big rat
snd put it in his pocket As soon as
ho trip was gone Johnny sot down <>i
u tlo und lot the second rat runovor lib
lap without touching it. Tho v.it might
have jumped oway, but it seemed to he
under a spell, and when it had caperee
across the boy’s legs a few tiroes it
crawled Into his coat and snuggled up
us .f it was going to take u nop. Pretty
•ioou Johnny took tho rat out and
stroked it and showed its teeth to the
visitor. Then he held it up by the tail,

was making them perform a large
black and white tom cat appeared and
wont to eyeing the lively rats. Johnny
tied his little team to the prop when he
heard the cars, and tha tom cat sat on
a tic with his tail across the rail,
worked his smellers and glared at the
rats. While he was watching the hop
ping animals the wheel of a car cut off
Ids tail two inches from his body, and
he instantly went yowling and spitting
toward the mule barn. The cat's an
tics made Johnny roar. "Bet he won't
watch my rats again very soon,” he
said. Boon the trips stopped coming.
It was the quilting hour, end Johnny
turned the four rats loose, and said to
tho visitor:
"Como with mo to the barn, mister,
if you want to see some fun."
Eleven well-fed cats and a lot of
kittens were purring around tho mule
foreman near tho feed box. Several
dead rats lay on the floor, and Johnny
said that the cats always lugged tho
rats to tho feed box, no matter how far
away in the mine they caught them.
All tho mules were In the stalls, and tn
the flickering light from tho smoking
oil lamps the foreman dumped the
provender into their mangers. Present
ly you could hear tho rats climbing
up and tumbling into the mangers, and
at that the mules struck at the feed
robbers with their noses and grunted.
The bob-tailed tom cat bounded out of
a stall with a mammoth rat in his
mouth, and Johnny seized the cat and
took it away. But the rat had re-
cclved.a fatal bile, and' the boy gave it
back to the cat,
The next thing Johnny did was to
reach in a manger and bring out a
kicking rat in c&eh hand. Ho gave
ih*vm free swing over his lap, put them
in his pockets, let them crawl over bis
shoulders and then tossed them into
the hay. Ho caught two more present
ly, held them up by the tails in front
of the cats and stack them in his
pockets when the cats sprang at them,
afterward placing them in the one of
the mangers
“I don’t know why the rata never
bite me," said Johnny, “unless it is
because they know I won't hurt 'em.
I like rats better tban 1 do cats or
dogs, and I don’t think I ever killed
one. I’ve caught and played with rats
ever since I was a little boy. They are
so bright-eyed and slick that I Uko to
handle ’em and harness ’em up, and I
guess they all tell one another that 1
never hurt’em when I catch ’em.”—
