He said that when the present ; company took hold of the plant It was practically In a worn out condition, that -- the pipes and mains were in many places rotten. Every cent the company had '. rarned during the last five years and all . the money It could obtain elsewhere, he t said, had .been expended iu Improving the f plant by putting in pew and larger mains.

Gladstone tells how he shot an Indian tiger: "We walked for about a mile along an ill-defined track through tblcktsli Junglo. Arrived at a spot where the Jungle waa rather " clearer, we were shown our machans, or seats, tied up at a safe height In the trees. . In this case, charpoys, or native beds, on which we sat cross-legged, or wicker stools, had been securely lashed by all tour corners In trees about thirty feet nigh and about fifty yards one from the other. I had drawn the. lucky number one. Long bamboo ladders had been brought and with the help of these wa climbed up Into our machans. Mine was tied about twenty feoi from the ground, where, with the slighttst breeze and my additional weight, it swayed most alarmingly. The heat, beating down through the bare branches of the trees, was errlflc. Tha first excitement wss caused- iy a mob of monkeys, which cams from be- lind. leaping and bounding over tries and hrough bushes at tha most astonishing need. All around one could hear doves nd pigeons cooing; otherwise the jungle eemed peacefully tranquil. "All of a sudden we heard, about half a nlle in front of us, tbs signal snot fired for the beat to. begin. Instantly there wf an uproar. Every beater shouted and many of thorn had gongs, antiquated firearms (some of them seven feet long) or large rattles. These they beat, fired or whirled with a will, which made the Jungle perfect pandemonium. Excitement ran high and every ear was strained to catoh the Brat snapping of a twig or to hear the footfall of the tiger or the crackling leaves. One of the coolies, flanking In a tree on sny right, suddenly taught my eye. He was clapping his hands gently and throwing pieces of stick Into tha undergrowth below him. As he pointed I could hear s rustling and almost directly after came a double roar. The noise In the distance grew closer Miss Luclle Porteriield of Council Bluffs, Thomas Lacey, Mr. Paul Rlgdon, Mr. and j contralto; Garrett Hedge of Chicago, tenor. SEs-r a.1? llV'r-" rSSZ JeP A.
