THE BARRE DAILY TIMES, SEPT. 1, 1001.
The Times' Daily Short Story. I
l Siesta In
The Junglt
ICowright. 1001. by T. C. MeClure
Major I'iidan of tin Twelfth nativt
cavalry, India, was hunting in lien
gal with a small party, nud one after
,uoon lie wandered away from euuij,
ia short distance ami Ktretchod out un
dor a tree for a imp. lie hud not
slept above a quarter of an hour whei
.lie was aroused, by what seemed U
be the purring of a cat, only tht
nouU was much louder. , lie had
never heard the purr of a tiger ot
panther, but realized Ju on instant that
one or the other had come creeping
upon him as he slept He was lying
on hi left side and facing the west
and the beast had come up behind him
The major opened his eyes, hut did
not move a finger. The beast's Uoxe
touched the man's shoulder and Mmff
ed at his face, and the long whiskers
ou his muzzle tickled the man's cheek,
but be did not move. Had he raised
band or foot the boast would have
seized him by the neck at oitce.
The tiger, as was afterward ascer
tained, had his lair within a few hun
dred feet of where the soldier was ly
Ing. After a minute or two a paw
was placed on the olllccr's shoulder
and he was turned over on the broad
of bis back. Through his eye winker
be caught sight cf the paw and then
realised that he was In tho clutch of
a full frown tiKer. Tor the moment

good nature of a tiger and is also more
treacherous. A tiger will starve be
fore he will feed on anything that he
has not killed with his own paws,
while a panther will grab at anything
that comes ia his war. Itetween the
two the choice, was with the tiger, and
the major felt almost elated over his
luck.
When the man had been turned on
lils back, the tiger sat up like a dog
and purred like the great cat he was.
The man had on a hunting jacket with
silver rations. They seemed to be
objects of curiosity to the beast, and
lie touched the six of them In succes
sion and slightly pulled at them with
his paw. ,
The soldier's hat was lying on the
grass near his head. The tiger reached
for it and 'began to play with it as you
have seen a puppy with a glove or rag.
He etruek it to the right and then to
the left and then jumped after it' and
seized it In his teeth and gave it a toss
Into the air. He played with the hat
for at least ten minutes and then sat
nn and t-awned and returned to bis
victim.
Pretty Boon a spur on tho major's
riaht boot heel attracted his attention.
It wis of brass and quite new and re

down through the foliife. He licked
at the metal and hurt his tongue on
the rowel.

The market appears weii supplied with
practically everything, and even the
low prices which have prevailed for
some time past have failed to stimu
late business. Most dealers look for
home improvement i" trade after La
bor day, when many people close up
their summer residences and return to
the city.
Such price changes as took place in
vegetables during the week were most
ly tlecliues. There have been heavy
receipts of potatoes, and as the demand
has beeu very moderate, much lower
prices now obtain. Onions and cab
bages are in full supply, and beets,
corn, cucumbers and eggplants are
coming in freely. Marrow squash are
dull and easy under plentiful offerings.
Tomatoes arc very cheap, owing to ex
tremely large arrivals. There is little
call for turnips except choice stock.

he legan licking at and biting the
strap, which wus also new nti.l full of
oil, and In a minute or two be had the
spur off the boot. lie then lay down
and chewed at the strap as if he liked
the taste, but after a time flung it
aside and rolled oxer ou bis back and
worked his body about ou tiie grass
as if bothered with fleas.
The beast was rolling and purring
when one of the horses in camp ut-ten-d
a neij.li. The major was watch
big through halt' closed lids, and the
move the tiger made astonished birn.
lie turned like a Hash and bounded
Bis feet into the air, to whirl again and
stand bend to cum p. Tor five minutes
he stood watching and BiilSlug and
growling. His tail was held straight
out, hris ears lay back, and one paw
was held about six inches from the
ground as if ready to strike. As the
nciL'li was not rerouted the tiger re
turned to the major.
The major was rolled over at least
a dozen times by the t!gorvuud the
beast leaped over him back and forth
like a' dog at pli:y, and he seemed to
get a good deal of amusement out
of it and to preserve bis good nature.
He filially fastened his teeth in the
man's bunting belt and lifted him
clear of the ground as easily as a man
might lil t a kitten. If the soldier had
not b-cn Uld over and over again
that a tiger eats only what be kills,
he would have made sure that he was
to be carried off.
He had u revolver lu bis belt, aud

might have drawn it and killed the
beast or a shot might have fright
ened him away, but it was hardly a
chance in a hundred. It may be that
the tiger was holding the man up to
i;ee if there was life in him and was
hoping to feel him make a move
ment. If there had been the stir of a
band, .death would have been swift
oud merciless. After swinging the
man pendulum fashion for a full min
ute the beast laid biiu down as care
fully us yon please, gnawed the belt
in two and pulled it off, and, carry lax
one end in his mouth, he frolicked
way and was hidden by the jungle.
Au hour later the major's party had
formed a cordon around the tiger's
lair and sent in the beaters. At the
first uproar the beast charged out with
a tierce growl and killed a native with
one blow of the paw which .had treat
ed the soldier so gently. Three min
utes later he wheeled and charged iu
the other direction, and, though he
received bullets from two different
rifles, he sprang upon Captain West
of the artillery ami carried him IWO
feet before falling dead. The officer,
who had been seized by the neck, whs
dead long before the tiger gave up
the ghost. .-One of the bullets bad cut
the beast's heart, and yet he had
bouudtvl away with a man weighing
170 pounds In his Jaws and seemed to
have been only scratched. ,

for Anybody to Mis

the Trickery.
Wlieii the Republican party asks
the people of Vermont ti Uul it
with the needed amendments of the
ktL-ul-opt iou-license law, Intelligent
voter will not tail to note and re
member: (1.) That but for KepublleHii bad
faith the law would not le.'ed ir.alerial
amendment at all. that as proposed
from the Democratic caucus if was
free from practically every one of
the defects now needins remedy, tind
if it could have been enacted iu the
shape lJemocrats asked it would have
been the best liquor law anywhere In
existence.
L) That the Republican platform
this year merely to "ive force and
etticiency to its fundamental princi
ple" is adroitly worded, so th.it the
IJatteil bill or any other old thing ca.n
be inflicted on the Mate. ..
(3.) That when asked by Its
chairman for an explicit promise in
favor of the law that, after amend
ment, the tame be further continued
in force, the committee on resolutions
in the Republican Stall! Convention
REFUSED, and the convention rati
fied its action in strikyig out the-e
words, even after they had been
printed as the Republican platform.
4.) That the gross n.-ui rattn oi
the Republican party In this whole
matter two years ago, in attempting
to cheat the state with a bogus refer
endum, with the Hattell blH in place
of wnat the party had promised, and
In mutilations of the license bill, In
tended to be fatal to it, give ample
waiT.tnpr of what to expect now. It
Is ;of INDELIBLE RECORD on the
Legislative Journals that the Repub
lican party OVER AND OVER
AGAIN, hv a VOTE of TWO frnd
THREE TO ONE .shamelessly RE
PUDIATED EVERY PROMISE IT
had made to the people.
(5.) Th.ft the warning Is repeat
ed 1" the correspondence Rev. t'.eorge
W, Morrow has had with every as.
pliant tor Republican nomination to
the LesriiMalure, whom he dared to
annroaetk to nledee him asrainst the
nresent law.
(G.l That between siorrow ana me
silent workings of the machine. Re
publicans who were honestly in favor
of the law have generally found
themselves, in town and county,
neatly and expeditiously "laid out"
often without suspecting . what ailed
them.
(7.) That some county conven
tlons, like that of Orange, have man
fully disclosed their purpose, but
more, like "Washington, have sneaK-
ingly done so by nominating for wen
ators men secretly pledged to prohl
bition.
(8.) That while the House is sure
in any event to be, overwhelmingly
for prohibition. Morrow and the ma
rhine are confident that they have
secured the Senate also, by nominat
ing candidates, who with very few ex
eentions, are life-Ions prohibitionists.
(9.) That the purpose is aisrioseu
by the action in Chittenden county
one of the most high-handed ever
known nnvwhere and so bad that
Judge Rowers has ordered action
reversed refusing Local Op
tionists the right to be represented
ou the official ballot, though they
had filed their nomination papers as
the law requires. The law says nom
tnattons may be made by caucuses or
conventions OR "MAY ALSO be
made by CERTIFICATES OF NOM
I NATION signed by vn'ers residing
etc.. and the clerk SHALL, then
cause such ballots to be printed
The machine's decision In Ohittendei
county is that the Local Optionists
constitute a party casting over one
ppr cent of the votes at the last elec
tior. and therefore their nominations
must be made by caucus or conven
tion. If true ss regards them, it is
also true as regards the Democratic
or Republican party, and it only
needs that, any committee carelessly
or corruptly nesleet to call such can
cus or convention, to exclude its tick
et from the ballot.
(10.) This procedure, of which
even n child can see tne preposterous-
ness, had for Its plain purpose to deny
anv ettisten the chance to vote for lo
cai option without voting the Demo
cratic ticket, which the machine then
tries to prevent- by yelling that
Roosevelt must be saved.
Will these voters, with their eyes
