The Age at Which People Are More Liable to Dies Finally, a native Child was taken from an. outlying hut: The natives wereexcited and a terrible even- g'eanoe was threatened. One day we heard the mother of the child wailing in the peculiar native way. Mother love is as strong in these na,tive,s as itis among the most civi- lized. persons. In defense of their young they will fight bare-handed time most savage beast. The mother fell at the . feet of Lieutenant Preston, imploring him to save her child. The lieutenant gave us permission to hunt the ani- mal. We were all eager to go, as the natives told of seeing the long, yellow body of a man-eating tiger. just as he vanished in theprickly pear and cactus which grew so thickthat a man could not pene- trate unless on• leands and knees. This growth extended some three miles inland and about one. mile in width. There was a shallow creek flowing through it which emptied into the Buffalo River. It was taking desperate,. chances to follow the beast into this jungle, but if we were to save the child's life, or recover -the body, if dead, we had to act quickly. Lieutenant Preston called for volunteers. Three of us stepped: out: and the. rest were stationed along the out- side. We three, stripped, of all accoutrements except revolvers and cartridges, plunged into the jungle. Every nen took a, different path, and as each one of us has selected a native hunter to trail the animal we could not 'get lost. These na- tives hunt. entirely by, stealth, and. are as keen on the scent as atrain- ed dog. We penetrated to the creek and determined to follow it up etre.ani, as .one of the natives assured me that he could hear the cries of the child. -Although I could hear noth- ing, the stench of the animal • was sickening at times. These animals are not so clean as they are gener- ally supposed to be. Crawling on our hands and knees brought this fact home to us rather forcibly. We continued on up the creek until we gained an open space. The crouching native started around to the right to find where the tiger had entered the 'jungle again. 1 went to the left. He had not gone twenty feet from me when I saw the dirty yellow body rise and poise for an instant, and then leap .straight at the native, .who also saw him in time =to swerve to one side. He had only a hunting spear about four feet long with which to defend himself, .I fired hastily. The native' struck wildly at the beast as he sprang away. The 'spear .penetrated the tiger's jaw, and it was so maddened with pain that ib tore up the ground in a terrible' manner trying to get the spear out of its mouth. I opened fire .on. it, but owing to the strug- gles and gathering darkness I did not strike a vital 'sport. Meanwhile, the native had discov- ered the chill lying on the ground. It was scratched, bruisedand' bleeding, but still alive. Hastily binding the wounds, we started back. The native., led unerringly, back to the open. country, where the child was placed in its mother's arms, Upon arriving I reported what had happened to Lieutenant Preston, who had heard the shoot- ing and had made haste in our di rection. By this time it was so dark we ecoid do nothing more, so we returned to ,camp, where :Lieu- tenant Preston, told our experience. to Colonel Price, The next morning four squadrons of cavalry were ordered out to sur- round the jungle. Natives were sent in to eat paths through the growth of soft prickly pear and cac- tus. Others with tin pans, old ket- tles, horns dr anything to mike a noise were ordered in to beat the bush feom one end to the other. Et is a wolf -known . fact that any wild animal is afraid of a strange noise. All day tong we patrolled the edge of the ,jungle. Two ,slaye we kept this up, forming picket lines and There are certain ages wherein death is very iminine,n,t, and of all these •ages the most perilous is the age of an hour or two,. Yet, it is just after birth that we are in most danger of death; and the next most perilous age to this is 71 years. The age of three is the next most dangerous age. Almost one-fourth of all the babies bocn die during the third year. From three an . to the age of 45 life its comparatively safe; but 45, especially for women, is a trying time, and many are carried off. After passing 45 in safety men and 'women may reasonably hope to reach 71. Here again they are in great danger --the greatest save for the. first few hours after birth.

Several times I .saw his tawny body flash by openings in the jungle, but there was no chance tee shoot with any certainty. Corporal Butts, Bugler Paramo, Private Richards and myself were sitting in our saddles 'about 50 yards from the spot where he ap- peared. He leaped out into the open., stood head up, and lashed his tail for clue instant; than four rifles cracked as one. He gave one mighty leap into the air, then came down on all four feet and slowly sank to the ground. We rode cautiously up to him. Corporal Butte took deliberate aim and sent a bullet .straight through his brain.. Bugler Parana sounded the "fail' in," and we bore the carcass back to camp in triumph.' P.

Educated Specimen Who Couli Wriggle Himself Into Letters. "You take it from me, sir," said the old showman, 'ghat the higher education .of animals isa mistake. "I have trained all sorts of beasts: from fleas to elephants. I've taught horses to dance on their hind legs, dogs to act music -hall sketches, elephants to play rho bar- rel organ and do all serfs of triples; butnot one of them showed such in- telligence as my educated eel. I Ticked hirci• out of the water one day, and was attracted by his cute,' brown orbs. He looked at me in a sort of friendly,`knowin' way, as ifto say : `Let's be friends, Guv'- ,nor=-real pals.'

"The first tricks 1 taught hire he took to as xher"e child's play. In a few days he could put this tail in his, mouth anal roll. round the room,. pretending to be a hoop. He would smile when I said `Smile' in the- cutest hecutest way, and what is more, he wduld often amnile on his own with- out being told, as if tickled at the humors of this funny world. "Then I taught him to wriggle himself into the ehape of letters. Soon he could twist himself into every letter of the •alp'h'abet "and spell words as easy as ,you please.

If he had been a peacock I can just imagine him spreading his tail. But . he merely blinked his eyes in the cutest, knowin'est way. "Then all of a sudden the excite- ment began to tell upon him, and. he showed signs of` a nervous break- down. He took trembling fits, which nigh scared me to death.

Bruce: Lingo thought he knew car- penters; anyway,^'he knew the pre- liminaries that some of them are accustomed to observe before they geE; finally to work. But his know- ledge was not quite so complete as he thought it was. Early one'morning Lingo went "o Lem Hicks, who did odd jobs round. town.' "I've._got a littlee piece of work down at the house I want you to do this morning," he said. - Lem finished chewing a bite of his breakfast that he had brought to the :door with him; and looked speculatively past Lingo at nothing in particular. But after mature de- liberation, he replied: "I. reckon I can do it, Mr. Lingo." "You have a saw, I suppose 4" Lingo asked him. e "Why, yes, of course I have," replied the carpenter. "And a hammer Z" "Sure." He looked with some astonishment at Lingo. "I suppose you own a square 4" "Well, I should think so." Lem was growing indignant. "That is all you will need," said Lingo. "I have the lumber already there." Then putting his hand into his pocket, he took out a half -dollar, and offered it to the carpenter. "What is that for Z" asked Hicks. "That is to pay yen for bringing. your tools the first trip. 1 am in a hurry this morning." "Ali: right," said Hicks, and put the half -dollar into his pocket., Promptly at eight o'clock Hicks arrived with his tools. "I see it worked," remarked Liege to his wife, with satisfaction. "I knew I should have to pay him for that wasted hour anyway, and 1 had rather pay it, and get the work done. It always takes a ear- penter an hoer to come, squint his eye at a board, rub his hands on his overalls, and then go back and get his tools." But a half-hour,; even forty-five minutes passed and there was no sound of hammering. Lingo went out to investigate. The hemmer and saw and square were just where' they had been. dropped; but there was no carpen- ter in sight. ' , He was fast getting s,ngry when Hicks came leisurely across the cone nor of the lawn from the street, with a three-eornered paper pack -1 age in his hand.

Said to Go Side by Side in Some Men's I4Yinds. Proficiency in mathematics, pre litical 'economy 'and "dry topics" like that are frequently found side. by side with a fine quality of humor in men's minds. Lewis Carroll, who wrote `:Alice in Wonderland," which is the top-notch of the world's humor up to date, was a profession- al mathematician --a mathematical lecturer at Oxford and author of ".A'°Syllabus of Plane and Algebra- ical Geometry," of the "Element- ary Treatise on Determinants" and of a good many other mathematical works. Another great humorist, w Oliver Wendell Holmes; was net exactly a mathematician, but he was the next thing to it—a. profes- sor of anatomy. His anatomical works :were terribly serious. Edgar Allan Pee long ago established the intimate connection between math- ematics and poetry, or, rather, be- tween the mathematical and thei po- etical mind. The same relation may exist between mathematics and hu- mor. And yet there are some hum- orists who are not altogether" great in mathematics. Biggest in the World.
