PRESERVING A SKIN.
IT WAS STILL ON THE TIGER, AND
THE TIGER WASN'T DEAD.
A Sportsman's Mistake Nearly Resulted lu
the Lose of Human Life—After This an
Extra Hole In the Hide Will Not Be
» Sucli an Important Conslderatimi.
Arriving at the village of Deypoora,
Ihree miles from Ruttenghur fort, we were
here told of a tiger that had lately, killed
very many bullocks, so wo started with sev
eral men to look liim'up. We were taken
to a ravjme ip the plains named Iloonce ’
and had taken up our position on a rooky
ledge when we; were-recalled ;l>y a nmn
who lia4 s^pn tho tiger. He directing Us
to the *l«)t, Wo camfi^vly odvauood. And
lookinggner tho steepf-t^k uT'lhb' Irtvine
saw thoitigor stretched Tit at full length
just tiMee yards or loss below u». Ho
lookod up and grluuod liorrlbly. Wo in
stantly gave him a bullet each, whereupon
ho sprang Into tho cover below and was
out of sight even before wo could get a
second shot. On going down tlmdjtmk wo
soon found drops of blood and easily car
ried these on for some distance down tho
ravine, when all at onco they qiitircly,
ceased. The ground Was bare shoot rock,
or largo slabs of flat' stones; so no-foot
prints oould bo discovered. After going
on somo little dislAnco wo met a man
tending a herd of goats who denied hav
ing seen the tiger pass, and indued it was
hut too evident from tho unconcornod
manner in whlch'tho goats browsed and
cropped the bushes around that they had
seen no such formidable animal lately. So
wo retraced out steps to again search for ■
tho blood, when suddenly a man by signs
pointed to a ouvo formed by a large ledgo
of rock that had fallen from above. Wo
knew liia meaning, though it much sur
prised us, for wo hid only juBt passed
close by this veryvplice, looking for the
tiger’s prints.
All the men, as usual, were at once or
dered to a safe distance in tho rear, while,
placing our spare guns botore us, we knelt
down to polish off this tiger at an unpleas
antly close distance, for wo were prevented
by a steep bank behind us from going
farther back, and a viow could not bo ob
tained from any other point. As it was,
nil wo could make out wore the tiger’s
eyes shining very clearly In the dark oavo
with an indistinct outlino of his faro. Wo
eiloutly agreed to tiro togothor on the
word, “One, two, three,” being given by
one of us. On tho smoko clearing away,
wo woro delighted to sco our foo stretched
out still on his book, tho white of his holly
tiring uppermost, and very vlsiblo. On go
ing nearor, two small holes, one over each
eyebrow, from which streams of blood
flowed, oaused us to congratulate each
other on our good aim. Wo now walked
close up and saw that the oavo in which
this tiger had tried to hide himself, al
though it liad but a small entrance, vras
large enough inside.
While talking over our luoky shots wo
observed one of the tiger's arms slowly
move, but as if from more muscular ac
tion, oaused by Its woight and the posi
tion tho beast was lying in. On noticing
tills I suggested that another shot should
be given to make sure, hut Little slightly
objocted, on tho ground tliut it was only
uselessly making holes and so spoiling tho
skin. On this I agreed to fire whore our
knlvos would first bo used in taking oft
the victim’s jacket, so at onoo, while we
woro looking into tho cave, without put
ting my gun to iny shoulder, I placed its
muz7,Je opposite tho tiger’s chest and fired
tho remaining loaded burred. All this time
the men, who from a distance had seen us
so near the tiger’s don, come running up
toward us In a great state of delight ut
their enemy being killed, for so they and
we both thought was Indeed tho case. In
stead of which, no sooner had 1 fired than,
with a frightfnl roar, up jumped the tiger,
as lively as ever. With ono bound Little,
who Is remarkably strong and active,
gained the top of tho high lodge of rock
that formed tho tiger's cave. Here he
kept guard with his spate loaded barrel
pointed over tho mouth of tho don; our
other guns wo had left on tho ground on
walking up to first look at the tiger. For
my part, in the most dreadful stale of
alarm, I nt onoo rushed through tho men
who had now come up and were crowding
around us, upsetting tlireo or four and
myself iu so doing.
For tho moment there was a torrible
pauio, and, tho ground boiug very upoven
and stony, everybody seemed to fall ovor
and trip up everybody else. Some climbed
small trees like moukeys, while others in
their fright ran clean out of sight without
stopping to look bohind. All this time tho
tigor was roaring awfully. I fully be
hoved that he wus outside the cave, killing
euch man as he caught him, instead of
which, being much confused, ho luckily
remained in tho dun, arouud aud around
which he kept walking, seemingly with
out being able to find Ills wuy out. At
last, gaining my legs, I snatched up a gun
aud climbed up a small thin tree Just In
front of tho den. There wore two men al
ready in this slight tree, so its brunches
bent down unpleasantly close to the
ground with our weight. From this point
I fired 1 a* more shots, at only ns many
yards’ distance, into this tigor before he
was quiet. Only his fore arm and lower
part of his holly could be hit every time he
appoared at the mouth of tho cuvo. All
new being still, we came down from our
high posts and this time found the boast
really dead, riddled with balls. The ap
pearanoo of the ground -was very laugh
able. Guns, drums, hows, spoors, shoos,
turbans, were scattered all ovor tlio place.
Some poor fellows were sadly bruised. It
appeared that our shots hod merely for the
time stunned this tiger, missing his brain,
which lies In a long narrow cell directly
between tho eves and on the extreme top
of tho forehead. Tho shot In his chest
most eneptually revived mm.
This wasamostextraordinary and lucky
escape for all of us, for, supposing him
quite (lend, we should have begun to haul
him out of the oovo and at once proceeded
to skin him on the spot, during which
operation the boaters usually all crowd
around and discuss the brute's death and
recall the losses ho has occasioned in his
day. Taking off his skin would, no doubt,
have revived the tiger, when the conse
quences that might have ensued arc terri
ble to conceive. Doubtless more than ono
life would have been lost. This little ad
venture served as a good caution to us
sever to fear making holes in a beast’s
jkin to fully ascertain whether he was
dead or not. At this time wo were but
young hands at tiger killing, but have
since learned by experience many such
valuable lessbns. This tiger was a very
large old ono.—“Tiger Hunting I u India,"

THINGS DRAMATIC.
Birmingham theater-goers last night
'had the flrst opportunity of the season of
enjoying a tragedy, and to show their
appreciation of high class plays turned
out in very good numbers to witness the
production, f>£ ‘ “Othello” at O'Brien's
opera house. by Louis James and his
superb company of actors, of whom the
following is the cast:
Othello.Mr, Louis James
Iago.f,..Guy Lindsley
Cassio _J.William Harris
The Duke.:.James Harrison
Brabantine.Harry Langdon
Gratiano.William Hunt
Up(lrrTgji,.\uT.Thomas C. Co$k
Montano .Wilsford North
Lodovlco...TUehard Wafte
Antonio..,, t.t..... ..I, ... .George Powell
Messenger..,, .,,, ..Charles Penley
Gt'Sdepiona , / .. . rMisfc Alfha' Kruger
KtMlfi : Miss Ajihle Hendrlcjts
Of magnificent physique and command
ing apimaranoe Mr. James is just the
Moorish general one would fancy from
reading "Shakespeare’s ‘'Othello." There
Is probably no actor at the present time
who outranks Mr. James as an interpre
ter of Shakespearian plays. In “Othello”
he is given wide range to display his
great versatility, which he does most
cleverly.
His leading lady, Miss Alma Kruger, a
young woman of rare personal beauty, is
a clever little actress, who pleased the
audience as Desdemonla.
Mr. Guy IJndsley, who appears in the
role of Iago, the villain who feigns devo
tion to Othello while plotting his ruin, is
a southerner who has made for himself
considerable reputation on the stage. He
is an actor (if no mean ability, and as
Iago gives able support to Mr. James.
Cassio, Othello's lieutenant, who,
■ through the villainy and treachery of
Iago, was condemned to death, but wlio
Instead succeeded Othello as general,
■was well portrayed by William Harris.
Tonight Mr. James and his company
will appear at O’Brien's in “Vlrglnius.”
“The Span of Life.”
The play that conies to O'Brien's opera
house Monday and Tuesday nights of
next week is famous for its scene where
three wiry athletes form a human bridge,
over which the heroine safely passes.
"The Arabs are upon us; we are lost!”
(This from one side of the King chasm,
through which leaps the seething torrent,
and then) "No, no, not so,” (from the oth
er)., a linking together df three human
frames, logs in arms, arms in legs, a fall
across the precipice, a Catch, a slight
sway, and the heroine, child in arms,
scrambles across the human bridge. And
there you have the "Span of Life.” It
is excellent scene, the novelty of
which is above the ordinary drama. The
act is over in a moment ana at course
constitutes the climax to a stirring scene
of escape. The scene just described is
the most famous feature of the melodra
ma that comes to O’Brien’s opera house
next Monday and Tuesday nights.
“The Span of Life" was produced orig
inally in London and is named among the
successful plays of recent date. To make
the play the resources of the scenic art
ist and stage carpenter have been taxed
to their utmost. The result is that thrill
ing situations follow each other In quick
succession, and the Interest of the audi
ence is kept at high tension in anticipa
tion of what is coming next. The play is
handsomely staged. "The Span of Life”
scene is of course the crowning one, bttt
excellent in its way is also the scene out
side the lighthouse, where the hero, with
one arm useless climbs the lighthouse to
ring the fog hell just as a big steamer
looms up through the mist, and a boat
eomes with help from the shore to light
the hitherto unllghted lamps. Every
thing at last ends happily, for the hero
escapes from the Arabs and returns to
England to confound his enemy' and res
cue his wife and child from further evil.
A Good-Natured Imp.
That imp of good natured, harmless
deviltry, “Peck’s Bad Boy," will appear
at O'Brien's on Wedneslay night next to
gether with his pa. his ma, his chum, and
last, but by no means least, his girl. Dur
ing his stay here he will bother his pa,
make love to his girl, get his chum into
scrapes, make the policeman’s life a bur
den to him and play tricks upon the Ger
man groceryman until that gentleman
bedtimes frantic. All lovers of fun should
see him, and all people who have a fit of
tha blues should see him,-too, for with his
able assistants (hat boy can knock any
blues higher than the figuration kite.
The bad boy is under the charge of
George W. Heath, this gentleman being
his sole guardian, so appointed by the
boy’s original boss. Mr. George W. Peck,
governor of Wisconsin. If you want to
have a good time go and see “Peck’s Bad
Boy,” but If you like melodrama and po
etic agony stay away, the boy won’t.suit
yon at nil. He lives for laughing pur
poses only, and he fills his sphere with
unbounded success.
A DAKOTA PRAIRIE IN JUNE.
Tho Landscape Is Fairly Ablaev With
Brilliant Floral Colors.
In duo Uino wo woro driving over tho
prairies, which are always mugnifloent,
but wliicli on this day were lnuguiflcently
beautiful, literally covered as they were
with the prairie roses. Think o®t ! Acres
upon acres thickly dotted with red, pink
and white roses, end tho air laden with an
aroma of the fresh blown blossoms. Other
flowers of no mean appearance helped to
make those wide prairies one vast flower
garden. There were the spider wort of
brightest blue, the waxy anemone of pur
est wbito, the evening primrose, with its
larger but less beautiful blossoms, and tho
purplo wild pens or vetches, with un occa
sional richly colorod yellow flowor whose
botanical name I have forgotten. Nothing,
however, could compare with tho roses in
beauty or quantity.
Some one lias said that the flowers out
of reach of mnn are dedicated to God. No
where In this wide world, if this ho true,
can there bo such a supreme floral dedica
tion as on these North Dakota prairies.
They touch everybody's heart. Ou the
train the conductor or the brakemau would
jump off at each station ami in a moment
gather a beautiful bouquet and bring it
into tho car for tho women and children.
I was on a traijj. a week or two before
this trip, when suddenly the train stopped
between stations. “What’s tho matter?”
cried several voices. “Nothing," was the
reply. “The boys want somo roses.” And
whun a moment later the express messen
ger, with whom I was acquainted, brought
me u dainty bouquet of buds aud blossoms
I suspoct there was in my prosy soul some
tiling of the same sentiments to which
Lucy Larcom, with her poetical nature,
gave expression in the words:
The world we live in wholly is redeemed,
Not man alone, l at. all that man holds dear—
Bis orchard and his maize, forgetmenot
And heartsease in hi* garden and the wild
Aerial blossoms of the untamed wood
That make his savagery so homelike. All
Hava felt Christ's sweet love watering their
roots.
Bis sacrifice has won both earth and heaven.
Does familiarity with tiju Bowel's bring
contempt? Little lvnif Strachan, 4 years
old, cried when the wagon wheels crushed
one. Mr. Carter quaintly Informed us
that he was trying the cesthetlo on hla^igs
this year. Why should they not share in
tho floral bounties? ‘When we reached the
