The tiger was asleep, and one of the women guests, mistaking It for a rug, gave it a slight dig with her foot Immedi-ately the "tug" gave vent to a roar which froze the marrow of all pres-ent and trotted toward the door.

COLBY America's First Newspaper AMERICA'S first newspaper wm It wns promptly suppressed by the government after the first Issue on the ground that It contained "reflections of a very high nature." The only edition ever Issued was dated Thursday, September 25, MX), and was called Public Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestic. Richard Pierce was the publisher and Benja-min Harris was employed to print It. Boston was the place of publication. Pages were 7 by 11 inches Three pages contained printed matter and the fourth was blunk. Plans were formed to get it out monthly bnt the heavy hand of the government wrecked the project Only one copy of the paper exists and that Is in the Col-onial state paper office of the British government In London, Fourteen years later, on April 24. 1704, the first successful newspaper on the Western hemisphere was launched In Boston. It was printed by one B. Qreen, and the owner was John t'amp-be-l, postmaster. In the beginning It contained only two pages, 8 by 12 inches. In the first number Camphel made a bid for advertising with the follow-In-notice: "This News-Lette- r la to continue Weekly ; and all persons who have any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farms. Ships, Vessels, Goods, Wares or Mer-chandise, etc., to be sold or let ; or Servants Runaway, or Goods Stole or Lost; may have the same Inserted al a Reasonable Rate, from Twelve Pence to Five Shillings and not to ex-ceed. . . . "Who may agree with John Camp-be- l. Postmaster of Boston, all person In Town or Country may have the News-Lette- r every Week, yearly, upon reasonable terms, agreeing with John Campbel, Postmaster for the same." "B. Green," the printer, became own-er of the publication in 1722 and after that his name blossomed into Barthol-omew Green. The News-Lette- r was published continuously In Boston for 72 years and was the only paper printed there during the famous siege. The Massachusetts Historical society has a partial file of the publication. In Its early years It wfs crudely writ-ten with small regard for grammar, spelling or punctuation, and the print-- . Ing was badly done. Its columns re-veal that trading consisted largely of barter and that a condition of semi-slaver-existed. Servants were "bound out" and "In-dentured," Imprisonment for debt was common and there was much poverty. For many years It wus believed that the first American publication was the English Mercurle, presumed to have been published originally In 17488. Finally It was admitted that this pub-lication was a hoax perpetrated by the second Lord Hardwleke. Proof of this came along with evi-dence that the paper upon which It was printed came Into existence long after the supposed time of Its publica-tion. Errors In historical data and mistakes tn the timing of notable events of the period were' otber evi-dences offered to prove It a forgery. (& 129.

The more pilgrims, the more revenue, and. It should be explained, part of this rev-enue ges Into the pockets of the priests and attendants.

Some surprise wns manifested by his American hosts hut the priest explained, quite Innbcently. that his Idea was to build up a great pleasure resort In the vicinity of his temple for the purpose of attracting pilgrims. And Americans marveled at such huppv combining of religious business with pleasure.

On Inquiry, he was told that the dog. his master and mistress, hod all been through the siege of Paris In 1871 and that when famine became acute a painful question arose that vitally concerned the dog. The di-lemma was solved by chopping off the dog's tall, making soup from It nnd giving hlin the bone I Whereby all three were saved. In relating th story In his "Slein-orle- s and Notes." Mr. Hope says he hopes the tale Is true because It Is so picturesque, hut adds that "the lady was vivacious."
