Hyena lie Is in a ami Escapes From o Clubs Three to Vt Death and Wounds While with the in the jungles and to tho north of Benares we heard of a On two former occasions we had re- like but had given tle attention to them The natives of India have many strange beliefs One of them is that a brother who has murdered a turns into a and roams the jungles one hundred years as a ance While they hold this animal in fear and as well they they reason that if he is an- other relative of the family must take his place and serve out tho remainder of his sentence while they would talk to us of these they were always very careful not to locate them and bring them into danger AVe had long before an ado up our minds that there was so very queer in- finding a wild man in tho jungles of India Children are carried oil by men or by wild animals almost and even the civilized countries have their wild men roaming through the forests Wo willing to pay a round sum for the capture of a believing he would turn out to be only a wild but at the same time a greater curiosity than a gorilla Wo had been our quarters in u village for several baiting our traps for hyenas and ing natives on tho lookout for when ono I got into a hammock slung between two trees on tho of tho village and dropped oil to sloop My two white men were already asleep in hammocks some distance and such of the natives as were not out for were lying by to pass the heat of tho day There wove two or children playing at the door of a hut near but making little or no It was as quiet us if a spell had been placed upon every inhabitant I had not slept over half an hour when a quito bit me on tho cheek and started mo up I lay on my right and through tho meshes of tho hammock could see the edge of the about forty rods away The children were still at and were- a hundred feet nearer tho jungle than I was Almost as soon as -I opened my eyes I saw a dark object leap from the cover of the thicket to the shelter of a single bush on tho cleared Ifc looked to mo in the brief glimpse I had like a gorilla I measured tho leap after- ward with a tape and it was feet I did not start but rubbed my eyes wide open identify tho strange creature It had cowered until I could see nothing but a black and it was two or minutes before it moved again Then it suddenly leaped into bounded for tho children exactly as a monkey and before I could call out it hucl seized a little boy about two and a half yearns and was retreating with him It was on its hind both arms around tho and with great ness The body was naked and but I was convinced that it was that of a human being I yelled and the creature whirled the child on with a shrill scream of dashed it down on tho baked earth with terrible force Then r it shook its fists at tho villagers s ing dropping down on all bounded away into tho jungle We found the child gasping its last That fling had broken almost every bone in its body It was not until the villagers were convinced that I had seen tho creature and was assured of its identity that tho head man edged it to be a and that it had long been a menace to the locality It he his who had killed a brother fifteen years before As the creature had now killed three against whom it to have a particular and as its presence menaced the safety of the he would give his consent for us to seek his capture I helped him to reach this conclusion by a ent twenty and by agreeing not to give the matter away in any village The first thing to be done was to learn the habits of the creature He was known to and almost every thing else that came in his way He but no ld say ae seen prowling around at all hours of Vne day and night He was very and and it was doubted if one of the tiger cages would hold him We decided to tempt his and to this one of our cages was placed in the and the door so arranged as to shut t the creature in if he but entered But he took no notice of the or if he did it was to fight shy of the suspected Twice in three days he was seen on the borders of the evidently bent on further and the natives finally found a path which the used in going and coming from a water hole As soon as they came in with the we started out to set a different trap for him The steel traps to catch wild animals have no and the jaws come together in a way to give one a leverage on the other I have known of a full-grown tiger being caught by the foot and firmly held in a trap ho larger than set for mink and We replaced the chain with a half-inch rope made of native and as soon as a oble spot had been selected we a buried the trap out of and then bent down a sapling and tied the end of the rope to it This sapling was held down by a trigger which a sharp pull would release When the trap had been set no one could detect any thing suspicious around the and we felt certain that creature would get into trouble if he passed that way When we could do no more we retired to the about a mile away It was about sundown when we and we were just in time io see a ful proceeding A large and looking hyena came out of the jungle and sniffed and snuffed and growled at us from a distance of about twenty rods We refrained from for fear the reports would frighten the and while a hundred of us stood gating at the beast another object suddenly appeared It was the same creature I from the mock is the moaned a score of natives in and at least a dozen oC them slunk into their huts But the had not come to dis- turb us lie had evidently been ing the and he was there for He bounded over the ground with great and the hyena did not suspect his approach The last bound was a tremendous curve in the and as the came clown it was full upon the hyena's back He uttered a terrible scream as he and the hyena gave vent to something like a shriek They rolled over and over on tho growling and but the fight did not last over sixty seconds Then the woll sprang shook himself and uttered a yell of and after threatening us for a couple of minutes the jungle We went out to the body of the and its con- dition gave us a or the fighting powers One ear was torn both eyes plucked two legs its tongue bitten nearly off and it had several horrible gashes in the belly It was plain that the creature was a match for lion or and we began to feel very uneasy By tho advice of the head man wo built several extra fires and kept a sharp lookout fellow is evidently very an- explained the old man are white and ho is not pleased at your coming Perhaps he has been told you are hero to capture could have told had a cousin who was turned into a vulture for striking his and another cousin who was turned into a serpent for cursing our faith Either ono may have carried the wolf the Wo placed sentinels on tho watch when ready to turn but everything passed quietly until about midnight Then a succession of shrieks and screams and roars brought every woman and child out of with a bound I had no other thought than that tho had seized one of the but as I leap out of the hut one called to you have caught the beast in your It was a as I have told from tho village to the spot where wo had sot the and yet the screams closed at hand When the news wont round that there was no the village soon quieted but there was no further sleep for any one Whether caught or the creature seemed fastened to one ity for the remainder of the and of all proceedings I ever knew a wild beast to indulge in his were the worst Ho had a voice as strong as a and lie was not quiet for tw minutes at a time He lamented and and the wind brought us every sound He still had a full head of steam on when daylight and after a hasty breakfast a party of twenty of us moved in his direction He probably heard us for his auger was freshly and pretty soon we could hear him tearing at the bushes I am free to say that the first sight of the caught by the hind foot in the and hanging head downward from swaying took the courage out of rac sooner than as if I had met a tiger face to face on the path about three feet from the and as far as he reach in every direction he had pulled up the bushes by the roots He was as supple as a and could ble himself up and reach the strong as he he could not spring tho jaws open and release his foot There was a foot of chain be- fore he could get to the and the way he bit on that chain made us hold our breaths Had it been of soft iron I have no doubt he would cut it in two He had been caught when we first heard him scream and had been suspended for over font hours You would have thought he would be exhausted with pain and but he was not As soon as we came near him he made such tremendous efforts to get or to got at that all the natives fled in terror We could do with the beast until he had lost his strength and and we to the village and left him All that day he yelled but every two or three and all that night we heard from at intervals On the second morning he was still but late in the after- noon hunger and pain mastered him We brought up a got three or four ropes around and finally made him a prisoner His foot and leg were terribly swollen and he made but little We now had opportunity to look him over He was certainly a a native child had been carried off when young and brought up with wild beasts for twenty years or more This creature had a man face and but the body was covered with coarse the teeth were the hands out of and he had learned to go as a four-footed animal He was indeed a horrible looking but the worst feature about him was his eyes No true wild beast ever saw through a more ugly pair There was a squint to them and the balls seemed to be aflame We were con- gratulating ourselves on his easy cap- ture when the head man Wait a bit Wait until his strength returns You will never get him aw ay from We drew the cage to the village and gave the captive food and water He readily accepted and his conduct was as humble as we could desire He was biding his however On the third day he minutely examined the construction of the cage and tested every bar He did this when he thought he was unobserved On the fifth day he to snarl and growl and show his and on the sixth day we started off with the cage being dragged by twelve natives Every thing went well up to when we stopped for a rest and a bite to eat As all were sitting down the suddenly sprang out of a corner where he had been seized a bar in either and with a tremendous effort wrenched them out One ho retained for a weapon as he leaped to the earth It was so sudden no one was prepared He did not seek but and before we could pick up our arms and open fire he had killed three of the natives and severely wounded two others He was still laying about him ing with rage when one of the white men gave him a charge of buckshot and ended his career He had struck only single and yet each ono had been enough to cripple or kill But for our guns he would have killed every man in the

have been many changes and great improvements made And some new fad is continually taking hold of the customers When I first started in the business there was ing like the variety of goods kept on hand in the best establishments that are now seen in the ordinary retail store We use to have plain wintergreen and the lemon nnd mint and then the square sugar kisses with a verse of two or four lines done up in the per were a sort of fancy goods Then there were burnt jujube rock and cocoanut nut sticks and molasses taffy It was pure and wholesome It is a question in my mind whether the change to fancy goods has been any real but the public de- mand change and we have to meet i their desires All the fancy goods used to come from and there was comparatively few sold About twenty years ago butter scotch came into the market and at once had a great run All the girls had to have butter scotch Then put in an caramels came next and chocolate creams and other chocolate goods followed in quick cession The French combinations of sugar and flavoring that melt in the mouth have been imitated in this country until there is scarcely a production from the other side that is not and I think I may safely say made as here The so-called French bon seems to take the but the American manufacturer has improved on his foreign competitor and in- creased the variety of combinations The chocolate creams are made with lemon and a variety of flavors Cream mints made with many flavors and walnut creams seem to be having a special run now In the chocolate goods appear to be taking the lead at the sale of these goods having doubled in the past five years Every season brings out some new chocolate combination There is a great variety of jelly lates and nut chocolates Soft creams which are made of nuts or jellies coated with highly-flavored delicious confections which melt in the are having a great run There used to be an idea that all fine goods were French The truth is that most of the fine goods sold by our con- are American The French are principally to almonds and made more for display than to please the but on real attractive pleasing to the the Americans lead the world Look at

received more attention from music lovers in this country Of course it is sold in the stores and you occasionally hear it in a minstrel but not one man in a hundred knows any thing about it I have heard it played in aud the music from a quartet of the instruments is exquisite Its range is but the quality of its tone when skillfully played is pure and queer It has a pastoral re- minding one of piping and a classical environment The ocarina is very simple In shape it is thing like a pear or a small gourd It is made of baked clay Its range is about twelve notes No instrument can be more easily for it most plays itself when one has tered the and there are no keys nor any elaborate fingering to rass one The North Italian peasants use it constantly in the and when you hear ono of their
