is in the same position as sporting dogs
which play much with children; they are
soon spoiled for work. Pezon possesses
five or six lions which he has brought up
by hand. As a rule, they live with the
staff Of the menagerie on terms of perfect
familiarity, but this frequently leads to
tragic accidents. Lions, even lions il

the hope that some day perhaps we may
