A floating paragraph says: “The lion is worth to the animal dealer $1,500; the lioness, $500; the leopard, $300; the panther, $250; bears, SSO to $500; an elk, $200; the camel, $300; and the elephant, $500.” The value of the tiger is not stated. Probably it depends on the variety, and if the variety is the “jungle” tiger its value depends on what it can earn. Wallace's “tiger” of that breed didn’t earn a dollar here and its owners are supposed to have gone away dead sore at Rensselaer in oonsequenoe.

The scheme has deen worked in this vicinity, time and again, but it never fails to find a fresh orop of victims.
