Great Wealth in Industry , Says
Official Report.
Chickens Supplied to England Exceed
in Amount That Which Comes
From All Other Countries of
Europe Combined.
Dublin , Ireland. The opinions of
experts given at a conference on the
poultry industry , held in Dublin re
cently , confirm the views expressed
on the report of the department of
agriculture and technical instruction
for Ireland. Sir Horace Plunkett , a
former vice-president of the depart
ment , declared that there was a mine
of wealth in the poultry industry
awaiting development The present
vice-president , T. W. Russell , gave
Qgures showing the development of
the Industry In the last five years , and
said that the export of butter alone
almost equaled the export of whisky
and porter combined , and that when
eggs were added to butter the two
combined almost doubled the alcoholic
export ; this in spite of the fact that
the export of whisky and porter Is
commonly believed almost to equal
iinen , which was of course easily
first.
first.The
The poultry supplied by Ireland at
the present time to Great Britain ex
ceeds in amount that which is being
supplied by all the other countries of
Europe. Diagrams and maps exhibited
at the conference showed side by side
the growth of the system of instruc
tion and organization and the growth
of the export of eggs and poultry. The
correspondence between the two sets
of charts was remarkable. The value ,
of the export now amounts to $20,000-
000 a year and a prophecy that in
the near future the amount of money
earned by Ireland from eggs and poul
try would be nearer to $100,000,000
than to $20,000,000 was made by T.
P. Gill , secretary of the department
and formerly the nationalist member

Bangkok Paper Gives Graphic Account
' of Slaying of Ferocious Bengal
Tiger by Three Americans

Minneapolis , Minn. How a Minne
apolis young man , well known socially ,
helped to bring down a Bengal tiger
In Siam , is told in a Bangkok news
paper , a copy of which was received
by John S. Bradstreet Ray Peoples
is the man. The account of the hunt ,
as it appears in the Nan correspond
ence of the Bangkok paper , follows :
"The quiet city of Nan was stirred
up last Saturday by the news that a
large Bengal tiger was in our midst.
He had killed a large bullock in the
morning and was hiding under cover
in an old deserted wat across the river
from Dr. Taylor's compound. The wat
was grown over with dense thorns so
thick that a man had to cut his way
through. It did not seem possible
that a tiger could be so near us , not
a quarter of a mile from Dr. Taylor's
house.
"Siamese dwellings were within 300
yards of the spot where he was hiding.
Word was sent to Dr. Peoples , who had
a good gun. He sent for Captain
Springer , who is at the head of the
gendarmerie force , to assist. Ray Peoples
ples was herm visiting his parents.
Each of these three had guns. The
plan was to station the men with
guns in trees and have beaters drive
the tiger out. He came out once
and was shot at , and returned.
"All efforts by the beaters and men
with guns could not drive him out The
afternoon was spent , darkness came
on and still the tiger held the fort.
After the men left and all was quiet ,
the three men decided to watch for
him. Everything was In their favor.
The tiger would want to finish the
meal he had commenced in the morn
ing. The full moon was shining in all
its tropical brightness across the
rice fields and upon the spot where
the tiger would come out
"They did not have to wait long be
fore the tiger made his appearance ,
cautiously creeping out. After his head
and shoulders were in view , Dr. Peoples
ples fired , striking him in the neck.
The tiger gave a terrible growl and a
spring forward. Ray Peoples shot him
in the chest Captain Springer sent
a well-directed bullet , striking him un

experience.
The little party will sleep In th.e
open , cooking at camp fires and stop
ping occasionally to hunt and fish. It
is also planned to make detours into
the surrounding country along the
California border.
"I have been planning this trip for
a long time , " Miss Vance said , "but
the opportunity to make It was not
offered until my parents decided to
make their future home in Arizona. "

before the close. He stood up in his
place and said : "I was all my life

conference has been conducted may
lead me to alter my views. " A dele
gate from Armagh protested against
this observation , but he was quickly
answered by Mr. O'Conner , a delegate
from Cork , who said : "And as repre
senting Cork , I applaud it. "
The Incident passed off with this
observation. Slight as it was , It

from England and Scotland by show
ing what Irishmen could do to develop
this country if they were permitted to
do so.

ed the battle.
"There was great rejoicing on the
part of all over the fact that there
was one fewer Bengal tiger in Nan.
His body was seven feet long , tall
three feet , height three and one-half
feet , with head , shoulders , teeth , paws
to match. Thousands called to see him
the following day. Great credit Is
due to the three men that stood so
bravely to their post and also to the
beaters who took their share In the

Has Lived in Three Centuries.
Custer County. To Thomas Morris
of Westerville , Custer county , Ne

ing lived in three centuries , the
eighteenth , nineteenth and twentieth.
He was born January 15 , 1794 , and
is still living. He has lived through
the term of every president of the
United States , except Taft. He is a
native of Wales and was 1 year old
when the famous trial of Warren
Hastings closed , 7 years old when
Ireland and England were united , 64
years old when the first Atlantic ca
ble was laid and was 67 years old
when Fort Sumter was fired upon.
This patriarch never attended
school and never married. When a
mere lad he started work as a butch
er , but gave up that to become a cob
bler. He followed that occupation un
til more than 100 years old , during
which time he mended shoes for people
ple of two continents. Just before
his 115th birthday he gave up work
for good and now spends all his leis
ure time when the weather is good ,
in fishing. His sight is remarkable
and he uses glasses only for close
work.
Mr. Morris never had any serious
illness , only suffering a light sun
stroke when he was a mere boy in
his fifties. He has always smoked ,
and used liquor in a moderate amount.
Upon retiring at night he often takes
a quart of strong tea or coffee with
him , which he drinks during the
night.
Forty-four years ago a lad 12 years
old came to live with the old gentle
man , then 73 years old. From that
time he and Charles Mythen have
been inseparable companions. They
left Wales and came to this country
in 1871 , arriving in Chicago the day
after the big fire. They went to Mis

ing on a farm four miles from Wes
terville in Custer county. Later they
moved to an adjoining farm where

The six leading states in the salt
industry are Michigan , New York ,

HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee.
Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
1 This is a serious matter to the hus
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un
expected thing and can be corrected if
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes :
"I was a great coffee drinker for
many years , and was not aware of the
injurious effects of the habit till I
became a practical invalid , suffering
from heart trouble , indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
"I continued to drink coffee , however
ever , not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-health , till on applying
for life insurance I was rejected on ac
count of the trouble with my heart.
Then I became alarmed. I found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly , so
I quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements of
Postum I began its use.
"The change in my condition was re
markable. All my ailments vanished.
My digestion was completely restored ,
my nervousness disappeared , and ,
most important of all , my heart stead
ied down and became normal , and on a ,
second examination I was accepted by
the Life Insurance Co. Quitting coffee
and using Postum worked the change. "
