Ci T T O said Tom Moran
tures dont seem to come my
-- way My experiences in that
line would hardly be worthy of men
tion but somehow Brother Bob has a
genuine talent for tumbling into all
manner of adventures Brother Bob
has had quite a number of pretty close
calls in the wild regions in which we
have traveled but he has plenty of grit
and has always been able to pull
through
Tom Moran is a miner who was grad
uated in the Comstoek school of mining
years ago and who has since had much
-experience in Mexico Australia India
and other gold producing countries
It is singular that you should have
been able to travel through so many
strange countries without a few hair
breadth escapes or some other experi
ences worthy of being related said one
of the old Comstoek friends who were
questioning Tom in regard to his trav
els in foreign lands Did you never
run against a tiger while in India
Tiger said Tom with a laugh
Well ytcs Ive run against the tigers
of nearly every country on the two
sides of the globe
I am speaking now of the real roar
in ir ramping Bengal tiger the striped
boast of the jangle said the Com
stocker
I saw quite a number
while in India and went
animals on regular hunts
of tigers
after the
I killed a
few while I was there in order to get
some good skins
Never got into close quarters with
one
Well not vory but Brother Bob had
rather a bad bout with a big hill tiger
up in Xepaul
Did Bob get away with the tiger
Yes 1 rot her Bob is true grit the
tiger was killed
As you had no adventures of your
own during your travels Tom said a
Conustocker suppose you give us the
story of Bobs tiger fight
I am sorry Brother Bob is not here
to tell you about his battle with Mad-
hunting at that season business was
very slack with him lie offered for a
very reasonable price to bring out his
people and beat through a piece of jun
gle which he knew to be alive with all
kinds of game As a part of the bargain
Brother Bob and I were to kill as many
wild hogs deer and the like as Ave could
knock over the shekarry saying his
people v ere all very hungry for meat
The particular piece of jungle se
lected by the old game expert to be
beaten through lay between the forks
of two large streams with high and
steep banks A more favorably situ
ated jungle for sport could not have
been found As Bob and I would sta
tion ourselves near the junction of the
two streams nothing could pass Unit
way without being seen We took sta
tions about fifty yards apart at a point
where the jungle became somewhat
thin and open each thrusting into the
ground a leafy branch of parass to
serve as a screen or blind After a long
wait we heard Jaintly in the distance
the sound of the torn toins and the
shouts of the beaters as they advanced
into 4he jungle
Presently we heard a rustling upon
the stray leaves in front and a troop
of monkeys loudly chattering their
qlarm came hopping out of the dense
jungle
As yet we had seen no deer or other
desirable game but the beaters were
still far away Taking a peep froin be
hind my screen I Avas somewhat sur
prised to see a large female tiger come
gliding out of the thick jungle crouch
ing clo e to the ground as she passed
into the open She was on Brother
Bobs side of the jungle and Aas
straight toward him apparently
more concerned about the commotion
behind her than afraid of danger in
front Bob had also seen the tiger and
had dropped to one knee behind his
screen and leveled his rifie EA cry mo
ment I expected to hear the report of
Bobs gun as the tiger avs Avithin ten
yards of his blind and was moving
slowly
TJIE TIGER SPRANG UPOX BROTHER BOB
nine Stripes but as he is not with us
this evening I Avill give you a little
sketch of the affair as I saAV it
Brother Bob and I Avere up on the
Xepaul frontier headed for the loAver
slopes of the Himalayas
In place of the ducks cranes coots
and pelicans of the lagoons along the
lowland course of the Koosee Ave now
began to see quail partridges pea foAVl
llorican and other upland birds In
places hidden in patches of dense jungle
and overgrown Avith Aines and creepers
Avere dilapidated temples indicating
that the Avhole country had at some
time been inhabited though in the pres
ent age only a feAV scattered villages
are to be found Outside of the Aillages
there are here and there huts inhabited
by the gwalla or cowherd caste and
these huts of the men of the cattle sta
tions are often in the heart of almost
impenetrable stretches of jungle
While in this beautiful region our
tins kept us Avell supplied AAith all
kinds of game and Ave first and last
killed many Avolves jackals leopards
and about a dozen tigers great and
small The British and Avealthy na
tives almost always use elephants in
hunting tigers sometimes having lifty
or more of the huge beasts in line but
as Ave were not in a position to com
mand a supply of elephants Ave did our
work on foot hiring a score or more of
coolies Avith torn toms firecrackers and
horns to beat through small patches of
jungle At first Ave mounted ourselves
on mychans bamboo platforms at the
point Avhere Ave expected the game to
appear but after AAe had learned some
thing of the nature and ways of the
tiger Ave did not bother Avith platforms
but took our chances on the ground
The gAAallas of the region Avere al
Avays ready to bring us iicavs of a tiger
having killed one of their cattle and
Avhen Ave got iicavs of a kill Ave Avere
soon out after the killer Often the
gAallas would be able to point out the
patch of jungle to Avhich the tiger had
retired after making the kill and feast
ing his fill
It Avas here in this foothill region
that Brother Bob had his adventure
with a big hill tiger - shekarry a
native expert hunter avIio keeps him
self Avell posted in regard to the move
ments of game and manages hunts for
both British and rich natives one day
came to our camp and proposed to give
us some sport lie said that as neither
the English nor the native princes Avere
Some noise in the jungle frightened
the skulking beast and after a quick
backward glance it blindly bounded
forward At the second bound the
tiger landed almost on top of Bob as he
crouched behind hiis fragile screen In
stantly he fired thrusting his rifle at
the beast without aim Wounded by the
shot the tiger uttered a 1ioaa1 of rage
clashed aside the screen and struck Bob
a blow with a fore paAv that sent his
gun flying and left him stretched sense
less on his back
I rushed forward at once to Bobs
assistance As I ran the infuriated
beast threAV herself upon Bob and be
gan tearing at him Avith her teeth
Hearing a sound as of cracking bones
I thought every rib in poor Bobs body
Avas being crushed As I feared to use
my rifie I threw it dowii and droAV my
revolver My yells as I rushed on the
tiger caused her to cease tearing at
Bob and fix her eyes upon me But she
still retained her position across Bobs
breast Avhile shoAving her teeth and
snarling at me
I thought it probable that she Avas so
badly wounded as not to be able to rise
upon her legs and so decided to take tier
at close quarters and make sure of her
With my pistol in my right hand and in
my left a long bladed knife sharp as a
razor I crept forwa I advanced
crouched almost upon my knees as the
tigers position across poor Bob was
such that I feared to lire Avith a dowii
Avard range
I had got up Avithin ten feet of the
tiger Avhen she suddenly left Bob and
leaped at me The charge of the beast
Avas a surprise but by a luckAvard
move I avoided her leap and as she
passed fired my pistol into her neck at
the same moment plunging the knife
into her side up to the hilt She fell
and did not move from where she land
ed the pistol shot having broken her
neck
Seeing the tiger Avas in Its death
struggles I turned my attention to
Brother Bob who was still stretched
uueonscious upon the ground The
beaters Avere fast approaching through
the jungle with great uproar and
thumping of torn tome Avild hogs in
droves both black and grav were
rushing by spotted deer were charging
past and the Avhole jungle seemed aliAv
Avith game of all kinds some droves of
wiki pigs almost running over me
I was just stooping over Bob when
a huge male tiger bounded out o the
jungle and halted within tn reet or
Avhere I stood I had my pistol upon
him in an ins taut and as his hpad Avas
so held that a bullet Avould not glance
from his skull I took good aim and gave
him a shot between the vyo i that
brought him down as dead as though
he had been a sheep or an ox Seeing
that the shot had killed the tiger I ran
down to the river filled my hat Avith
water and went to Avork to try to re
store Bobs senses He had been badly
stunned and Avas breathing heavily but
I saw he had no bad wounds and soon
had the satisfaction to see hiin open his
eyes Avhen it Avas not long before his
Avits returned and he Avas able to sit up
The paAV of the tiger had struck him on
the side of the head and knocked him
senseless but had only slightly wound
ed his scalp The Aveight of the tiger on
his chest had almost stopped his breath
and he felt some internal soreness We
found that his life had been saved by a
lucky chance In a game bag he had
slung to his side Avere some quail and a
pea fowl or two and it Avas these the
tiger had seized upon and crunched in
her blind rage not Bobs ribs
Bob Avas much astonished and bc
Avildered Avhen he saAV tAvo dead tigers
stretched out alongside of him I told
him that he had gone into a sort of de
lirium of rage and killed them both and
far a time he believed my story He
said he had an indistinct recollection
of haAing done a good deal of fighting
We found that his shot had ploAved
through the muscles of the female tig
ers left shoulder only slightly avouiuI
ing her but probably paralyzing her
left fore leg
When the old shekarry came up Avith
his croAvd of beaters he Avas at first
much disappointed that Ave had killed
no deer or wild pigs Alas sahibs
cried he no meat no meat He
soon cheered up and took great
credit to himseU for having said there
Avere tigers in the jungle After the
tigers Avere skinned Ave Avent down to
the river and killed for the old f el low
quite a loc of pigs We Avere Avell satis
fied Avith our prizes the skins of the
two tigers The male measured as he
lay on the ground eleven feet two
inches from tip to tip and the female
ten feet four inches
They Avere unusually large hill tig
ers Avhich are of heavier build than
the tigers of the valleys but aAerage
less in length To kill tigers Avith a pis
tol Avas a feat before unheard of on the
frontier and obtained for us great
credit for nerve but give a tiger a
square shot in the head and he -will go
doAA n like a bullock Many tigers are
killed by single shots from rifles but
the man avIio goes after tigers on foot
must have a considerable amount of
nerve 1 could always bet on the nerve
of Brother Bob
Nervousness of Hlotornieii
Xouvologists are Avatcliing with
grear interest a new expression of
nervous malady AAhich has appeared
since tilie i introduction of the Broad
Avay cable cars and the Brooklyn
trolley system With the exception
of Chicago there are no other cities
haivinig so much street traffic as- Xcav
York and Avhere thee mctihods ot
tran -port aVian are in operation A
nervous state unlike that which is
excited by great noise or sudden
danger has developed in several grip
imcn employed on the Broadway road
and among the motornien of tho
Brooklyn trolley lines
The constant looko ut for collisions
in the overcrowded district belOAV
Canal street in BroadAvay keeps the
gripman in a state of extreme ner
vous tensiion from the time he goes
on his car till he goes off Besides
keeping an eye open for visible trouble
diis mind dwells on possibilities that
are under his feet lie does not
lcnoAV where there is to be a pool
ing of interests between the grip
and a broken strand in the cable
which - ill Avhisk him along the street
crashing into trucks smashing
wagons frightening people and exas
perating the city fathers TMs nervous
strain results first in wakefulness
then in loss of appetite and extreme
ilrritabilhy after this a tremor in the
facial muscles At the end of a veek
says tihe medical examiner all thes
symptoms disappear and do not come
for ten days but afterward the in
tervals are regular about a week a
ptJTt sca en days In a state of ner
Aous terror and seven days in a
healthy state apparently These

Daily Occupation
It is not unusual to banish from this
portion of life any idea or lippe of
peace That is kept for the evening
Avhen labor is over and the comforts
of home and rest takes its place or it is
reserved for the evening of life Avhen
exertion ceases and energy droops or
it is relegated to some time in the fu
ture Avhen sufficient means have been
secured to make work appear unneces
sary It stands for the realization in
some AA ay of ease com fore leisure lux
ury opportunity On the other hand
toil effort hardship struggle are all
put in opposition to it Thus men will
often live lives of labor and sacrifice
hoping by this means to obtain peace
and tranquility Avhen the toil is over
But to unite the two to enjoy peace in
toil in effort
tranquility seldom oc
curs to them Tet no peace worth
exists Avithout power and power
must have its outlet in aetivirv
Uniformity of 7ize
An evidence of the striking uniform
ity of size among the Japanese is found
in the fact that ivcent measurements
taken of an infantry regiment showed
no variations exceeding tAA o Inches in
height or twenty pounds in AAejght
