A Tigsr n Wales f
Some years mo It was reported that
n tJjjir hud csftjKd from a traveling
menagerie at Itrecon in Wales Man j
glod sheep were said to mark Its
course across country to Llaudriiulod1
Wells some farmers lost their dos
and mi market days at Iniltli Brecon I
Pcnybont and IJaumarrach the wild
beast was the center cfr rumor Coun
try schools were closed because par
ents feared to let heir children o
alonjr the roads and hands of armed
men sought to hunt the tijer down
This state of terror lasted a week
though uo person was found who had
actually seen the tfcer Iut only people
who -had heard that some one else
and so tonh Then the truth was
hunted down ami the origin of the
whole affair discovered at the remote
hamlet of Khereilw One night the
schoolmaster there In dismissing the
children playfully had warned them
not to loiter in going home lest a tiger
should get them
hi- viliMil tui iici iiiiu I lit
warning as real and hastened home
with stories of a savage beast lurking
behind hedges or growling in ravines
And so the story grew as stories do
under the culture of imagination
As Clear as Crystal
An English tirm whose shipment of
goods was delayed in reaching Japan
received the following communication
from its newly appointed Japanese
agent With regard to the matter of
escaping the penalty for nondelivery
of this there is only ohs way to creep
round same by diplomat We must
make a stir or strike occurring in our
factory Of course big untrue I place
my presence on inclosed form of letter
and believe this will avoid the trouble
of penalty of same As Mr Is most
religious and competent man also
heavily upright and godly it fears me
that useless to apply for his signature
Please therefore attach same at Yoko
hama oflice making forge But no
cause for fear of prison happenings
as this often happens by merchants of
high integrity But if this involves that
your honor look mean and excessive
awkward for business purpose I think
more better a little serpentlike wisdom
of polite manhood and thus found
good business edifice The tirm knows
as much now about the delay as it did
before
Not Complete
Sir says the sleek looking agent
approaching the desk of the meek
meachiug looking man and opening
one of those folding thingumajigs
showing styles of binding 1 believe
I can interest you in this massive set
of books containing the speeches of
the worlds great orators Seventy
volumes 1 down and 1 a mouth until
the price GS0 lias been paid This
set of books gives you the most cele
brated speeches of the greatest talk
ers the world has ever known and
Let me see the index says the
meek man The agent hands it to
him and he looks through it carefully
and methodically running his finger
along the list of names Reachi the
end he hands the index back to the
agent and says
It isnt what you claim it is I hap
pen to know the greatest talker in the

The Turtles Cunning
Although not credited with any high
degree of intelligence the turtle when
about to deposit its eggs exhibits con
siderable cunning It scoops out a
hole as if to prepare a repository for
its eggs but in order to delude the
birds and other enemies the turtle
throws the sand again into the hole
leaving the surface rough and wad
dles off to another spot where it re
peats the process Sometimes this is
done three times and eventually the
eggs are laid in an excavation within
a few yards of the sham nest the sur
face being smoothed and flattened
down When huuting for the eggs the
Queensland blacks probe the sand in
the vicinity of one of the sham nests
and are usually successful London

Sereno E Payne
Republican House Leader
and the phraseology greatly changed
in the hope of preventing reductions

tion of the Dingley law during latter

intended to be imposed by the Ding

per cent higher upon an average than
those collected on cotton last year

senate won the only change made in
the entire schedule being one slight
reduction
