to have followed about for 10 years Bidcl,

watched his every performance in the cN-
pcctation of witnessing the inevitable acct

tackled and diSarmcd by his performing
lion Sultan, who 1lycarS ago sigualiHcd his
arrival in Paris by killing man. The
brute stood ovcr his master and proceeded
to get to work with his claws, when BidcI
raised himself, and getting well under Sui
tan, by an effort Of almost supcrhumar
strength, hurled him off through the opcr
door of Il cage, which was promptly closed.
1t was found that the tanner had l. wounds
on his neck and shoulders; but, motwith
standing, lie presented himself before tho
spectators, streaming with blood as h" was
and proposed to continue the exhibition
and show that he and not Sultan WAS really
master. This was, OF course. not per

forty-onc years. Her goosesh,p was
once the property Of Mr.. LaClair's

kept by the family, therefore Mr.. Ia
Clair can vouch for the truth of the

of the family have died out one by
one, leaving Mr.. LaClair a lone but
happy bachelor and enjoying all the
comforts connected with bachelor life.
The goose had been kept by him and
