Otilt TIGER.
Now, dear children, do not ex -
peat a terrible story of a wild
animal, for our Tiger was only a
dog.
When Jennie and I were little,
we teased our papa for a dog to
play with, and one night our hearts
were made glad by his bringing
oue home to us. It had been liv-
ing 1n one of the large freight de-
pots in Boston, and had been so
teased by little urchins, that often
lounge about such places, that he
was fast getting to be very cross
and snappish, eo it was thought
best to got rid of Mtn.
Ho never outgrew his dislike for
boys, and would not allow them to
touch him at all, but would often
chase them, and sometimes bite
thein if they came on the premises.
Tliie hatred even to the youngest
children, and from a little baby boy
ho wcald walk away in disgnet,
while he would allow "little girl to
pull him about without a word of
complaint.
At one time we had nn old cat
which was determined to rear her
three kittens in the closet of num-
ma's room. The kmtteus were te-
peatcaly carried back to the seller
and as often Mistress P3108 mvoukl
find some way of briuging them
back to the elo.•et. Tiger 310(1 evi
denlly beau watching the whole
operatiou, and decided to take affairs
into hie own hands, as you will see
when I tell you what happened.
Ono clay, Bridget, the cook, saw
him go through the kitchen with
something in his mouth. She follow.
ed carefully after him, and abet do
you think she found ? You cannot
guese, I know, so I will tell you,
Tiger had brought down tho kittens
one by one, in his mouth, and carri-
ed them roto the back yard, where
having dug a hole for each, they
had been placed, and carefully cov-
ered with dirt. Bridget rushed lute I
the house, and said to us, "Oh 1 do
come out in the yard, Tiger has
made a cats' cemetery." %Ve hurri•
ed out to 850 whet she could mean,
and found her words were true.
There stood Tiger looking at his
work, seeming to feel very proud to
think he had found such nn effect -
nal way of keeping the kittens out
of mamma's closet, `
Tiger was not always as cruel as
thie, but sometimes showed great
fonduets tor other animals. My pa-
pa kept many sheep, and one spring
there were two little lambs born
that were disowned by the mother
sheep. Of course it would not do
to let the little things die for want
of care, so they wore brought to the
woodshed, and put under my mam-
nA'8 protection. They were soon
pained Dicky and Biddy, and being
fed often. with warm milk from a
bottle, they grew rapidly, From
the firet 'Tiger showed a great lik•
ing for the pet lambs, and would
stretch hfineelf out on the floor by
tl:e aide of the basket, where he
would remain for hours at a time,
One day after Dicky and Biddy
had grown quite strong he got them
out of the baeket on the floor. How
this was aecompliehed we could nev
or quite tell, but I am mire they
had some way of making each other
uuderetand, s0 that he coaxed., per.
eteaded, and encouraged them to go
beyond time narrow limits of the
basket, node sec more of the world,
After a while they were not content•
od to roam abort tho shed, but ex•
tended their ,journeys to the yard,
and sometimes away (Jowl) tete
street,
This last habit would have proved
a very troublesome one to Ile, if it
had not beeu fur Tiger's aesietaueo
in bringing them back, Wo had
but to say, "Tiger l Dickey and
Biddy have run away. Go find
them," and nway he would dada
down the street after them, When
he overtook them they would stand
for n few moments as though there
twos an explanation of the case bo-
ing given, and then he would turn
around and run home with both
tombs meekly following hila. I
hare watched hint a great number
of times, and I never knew 111111 fail
to bring them back,
My papa used to go to Boston
every day and return at evening on
the horse -cars, and Tiger would
usually be found at the gate to meat
him. Although these Oars were
constantly passiug the house, Tiger
never made the mistake of going to
meet nn earlier or a later train, but
a few moments before the custom-
ary time for my papa's arrival, Tig-
er could be seen going leisurely
down the walk to bo in 0eadilm030
for the expected greeting.
At last Tiger began to get old,
and did not like the active sports
of his youthful days, but.muoh pre-
ferred to stay in the house and lie.
by the fire, Being fond of the coin -
pony of the family, he would often
creep into the sitting room, and
quietly settle himeelf un the hearth -
rug, when mamma would sometimes
say, "There is 80100 one Sere whose
MOM is better than his company."
-Without another word Tiger would
get up, and, with tail down, and a
sidelong glance at mamma, he
would sneak, in a crestfallen man-
ner, to the door to be let out. Fin-
ally when he got to be quite old he
was sick and died, and it was one
of my childhood days when we bur-
ied him under the apple tree in the
orchard.

L00013 THE WHIRLPOOL.
Baby Carriages,
Robert \Y1lliam ;I—ark—Attempts to rasa
the ItaPills in n. larebonl. ..
At Niagara Fails, Ont., on the
Iafternoon of July 4t11 Robert Wil-
liam eflack, of Syracuse, N. Y., with
1 his life-saving boat, Phantom, l0
tempted to shoot the Whirlpool
Rapids. At 2:50 he 0ammenced to
turn the oraulc, and tho Phantom
started to move out into the river
under the Cantilever bridge. l3y
the time he roaohod the Cantilever
bridge the Craft was in the center of
the river in the swift current, and
moved. faster and faster, Flack
throwing kisses to the spectators.
When it reached the railway sus•
pension bridge it darted ander it
like an arrow from a bow, Fleets
doing hie utmost to steer it towards
the Canadian sidle, and when it
reached the first rapids ono struck
it broadside and turned it in a com-
plete somersault, afser wheel' she
righted herself, and Flaok wee seen
working the paddle, and the little
craft soon righted herself and rode
tho other large rapids gracefully un-
til it reached the Whirlpool Rapids
Elevator Observation Pavillion,
where the nater rolls monnteine
high in its madness to force itself
down through the narrow channel,
A large wave struck and swelled over
the boat, completely submergtpg it
and its occupant for fully 80 seconds.
When she emerged from the
brealtere Flack was aeon to shake
his head and waoo both his hands.
The Phantom then rode all right
until it reached the center of the
whirlpool at the place known as
Capt. Webb'e Point, named after
him as the place where bo was last
seen in making hie fatal swim of the
rapids on the 24th July, 1888. At
this point the same fate met Flack.
His little craft was attack broadside
by a large breaker and turned up•
side down, and remained that way,
sailing into the whirlpool, and uu•
doubtedly Flack was unable to right
it and the weight of his body keep•
ing it in that position drowned him.
The exoitemeut was iutenee, people
running towards the whirlpool, there
being a largo number of exonrsiou•
este present. Tho Phantom made
five trips around the pool upside
down before anyone could reach het.
It took about ono hour for her to
make these eirelee. Allele Percy,
the young man who successfully
navigated the rapids last slimmer by
meaue of his air tight boat, and
was to race Flack through the rapids
provided he twee successful Wednes-
day afternoon, was present ae a
spectator at the American side of
the whirlpool, and knowing there
would be no opportunity to secure
Flack and his boat from the pool
before passing out of the whirlpool
and down the lower rapids, he en-
gaged a hack, drove over across the
bridge and down to the Canadian
side of the whirlpool, and when
Flack and his boat were making the
usual circle round the pool he jump
ed into the river, swam out and
towed the boat to the shore. When
the Phantom was turned over there
was Flack, dead, and the pin in the
buckle of the belt out. Undoubted-
ly Flack, seeing he was unable to
right the boat, attempted 'to oxtri•
Date himself from the fastenings and
failed.
His body was brought up to the
top of the river bank and to the
bridge, where the doronor viewed it
and allowed his friends to take it
across to the American side of the
river. His sister and brother-in-law,
Mr, and Mrs. Stephenson, and his
10-yoar•old son, W. F. Flack, were
present 'and witnessed the whole
trip. His son is .completely pros-
trated with grief at the tragic end
of ens father. Flack has a wife and
five young children at Syracuse,
where hie remains were taken that
night. The Phantom; it was claim•
ed by Flack, was so constructed
that it would float with the bottom
knocked out.
