BOY BEHEAOEo BY A LION.
A Pet Bites the Head on Manager nurd's
Little Son.


At Chilllcothe, Ohio, Eddie Hurl, the two
year-old son Of Manager Hurd, was killed by
lion. Hurd and his wife are in charge of II
part of Hagenbeck's trained menagerie,
which Is exhibiting Mt tho fair grounds near
town during the week OF the Ross County
fair.
As drawing-card they had two-year-
old lion tied 10 stake near the entrance TO
the tent. The lion belongs to Jim" Corbett,
the prize-aghter, and was not regarded Us
ferocious,
At 2 o'clock p. m. Mr. and Mrs. Huri
were ut the tent. taking tickets with big
crowd on the outside. Little Eddie llurd
had been playing around tho tent, and final
ly ventured too near tho lion, which had
been watching him closely. Suddenly the
lion switched his tail, sprang violently ior-
ward, and the next instant the child's entire
head was In the animals mouth. The fero-
cious animal shook the infant as terrier
dog would shake rat.
The mother, reckless OF danger, rushed TO
the rescue OF her babe and might have been
torn to pieces but for the quick presence of
mind OF the father.
People screamed and hed, while Manager
Hurd rushed TO the lion, seized him by the
Jaws, pulled them apart, aud the headless
body Of his boy fell on the ground. 1t re-
quired long time TO club the lion into sub
mission and get him In his cage. The audi
ence WA dismissed and no performance
given.

TIE CHANGED VISION OF COP.


II in the darkness Of the storm or through
fear OF the tempest the sailor coasting along
our rockbound shore seeks harbor, how
stern, how cold how cruel the sharp lodges
washed by the waves look to him. They
seem like the warriors of some stern mon
arch who would doom him to a grave be-
meath the sea. There Is no pity in their
Jagged points-no tenderness in their dark
caverns. Eagerly the mariners eye
searches for some harbor or for some mar
row way between the cliffs. Ah : Ho
catches u glimpse of the beacon light
aashing through the darkness he
guides his ship 10y the light, finds the mar
row channel. sails In safely between tho
rocks and at length casts anchor In the quiet
waters Of the landlocked harbor. How diff
terent now that line of rockbound shore
seems TO the sailor! How different those
Jagged cliffs and crags look to him He
hears the waves dash against their outer side
he feels the shock of thetempest as II beats
against the rocks. and he is thankful that
they rise bctweecn him and the angry sea.
The cliffs and crags which had seemed to
him unfriendly when he was outside them
on the deep. now. that he is within their
enfolding arms, protect him from the
storm. without in the world, wanderers
from home, sailors on the deep, the eternal
laws of God seem hard and stern. Life
seems cruel aud God unkind. The SHINING
soul secs death before 1t and the binding
storm Of its own selhshncss IL driving It
upon the rocks. But within--safe at home
all things become new. There II changed
vision Of God. Tho darkness Is gonc-aud
Christ's truth Ike beacon light reveals the
heavenly shore. We no longer drift In the
storm-but the anchor Of faith holds fast in
the strongest gales. God who seemed cruel
and unkind when we were outside his life,
now. that we are within HIS enfolding arms.
Is seen TO be love and tenderness. Cut Gems.
