The case of the Owner of this vine-
yard of human beings, the people of

NEW WAP TO TRAP ANIMALS.
Tigers Are flow Caught With
th
Sticky Fly Paper.
A new way to catch tigers has
been revealed by Payson Stewart,
who has just returned to England
from India where he learned about
it,
A certain Indian gentleman of
wealth and title has a hobby of
taming and domesticating wild
animals. His last experience, ac.
cording to Mr. Stewart, was with
tigers which he had captured and
brought to his place at great ex-
pense. For a long time they were
kept in a compound until they
seemed to have become as harmless
and tame as house cats. Then they
were let loose to be pets of the
neighborhood. Immediately their
jungle tastes and habits returned,
The first night they cleaned out
a native village and ate up some-
thing like a score of inhabitants.
In spite of all the ensuing exe:te-
ment, the would-be tiger. tamer in-
sisted that the animals must be
captured alive and returned to the
compound; they were too valuable
to be killed and so the hunting
party was disbanded.
No volunteers came' forward,
however, to catch the tigers as you
do sheep, or even by putting salt
on their tails. Then western in-
genuity name to the front. Mr.
Stewart suggested fly paper. Hun-
dreds of •sheets of it were spread
around the lawns. While the anx-
ious people in the houses were
peering out that night the, tigers
prowled up, stepped on the sticky
fly paper, •seemed very much dis-
concerted when it did not drop off
and that the more they rubbed
around to wipe it away they more
they got on.
In a minute or so what might
have been an approaching tragedy
was turned into a burlesque. The
tigers changed from terrors to
clowns in their struggles with the
fly paper... . They reeled on the
ground to rub it off and finally be-
came= wiggling, howling bundles of
paper instead of ferocious wild
animals. They were so stuck up
that they couldn't even see and
hardly move,. and 'were easily cap-
tured.

Gently, through the suit instituted
by Mrs. Annie Margaret • Salmon
for a share in the Church estate,
The septuagenary plaintiff lost her
ease, the jury returning a verdict
for the defendants, who were the
Colonel's widow. and his executors.
Colonel Church died in London
on January $, 1910. According to
the prosecutor's ease the Colonel
met Mrc. Chase and her invalid
husband on the Continent, and
promised -to marry her when the
husband died. When Salmon pas-
sed away, however,, Church mar-
ried another woman. Subsequent-
ly the plaintiff agreed to accept an
annuity in compensation for her
disappointment.
Mrs. Salmon testified that she
received the annuity for eleven
years, but when Church died his
executors refused to recognize the

DICKENS'S' LITERARY GAINS.

his time was so highly paid as Dick-
ens.
It was calculated by one who
knew' all about his affairs that he
made about £10,000 out of each of
the books which he wrote after
1846. The price paid down for "Ed-
win Drood" was £7,500. Author
and publisher were to share equally
in the profit of sales of over 25,000
copies p es and 50,000 were sold of each
of the opening numbers. The pay-
Iments for the early sheets for A 'i -
erica and for the Tauchnitz edition
must have brought the e null
r1, about
£2,000 besides.
Dickens is stated to have died
leaving "earnings that often ac-
crue to a, respectable solicitor."
This is rubbish also. Dickens left
£93,000 in round figures, and this
did not include. a considerable sum
of money that he had settled some
years before his death. His read-
ings (1859-69) had brought in about
£36,000.
It is forgotten that Dickens be-
gan life without one penny and
that every farthing he spent or
gave away or left was earned by
himself, only excepting £2,000 which
was bequeathed .to him by a friend
about two years before his own
death. Dickens lived liberally.
(some people said extravagantly)
for about thirty-four years, he
brought up and started in life a
large and very expensive family and
he gave away, a great deal of money
to needy relatives.
