LION MEAN-SPIRITED.
Circus Proprietor Says He Is As
Easy Tempered As Dog.
BY M'LEON FRENCH.

John B. Doris, former circus pro-
prietor of some thirty years expert
ence. once stated that there is no ami
NAL so easily handled and so safe for a
performer as a lion. Besides being in
telligent they are about as easy tenn
pered as an overgrown dog, and once
broken in any one with whom they are
familiar can put them through their
tricks.
People are generally awed. by the ap-
pearance of the lion and his dreadful
roar, but in reality there is no occa-
sion for fear. In fact, the lion roars
when he feels in a particularly happy
mood, and he can no more restrain
himself than dog can keep from bark
ing. The sound is perhaps not pleasant,
and the sight of the great open jaws
far from reassuring, but then he really
means nothing. 1t is only his little
way.
Mr. Doris was once making ready for
the road in the exposition building at
Indianapolis. There were some 300 men
at work in the building, when through
the carelessness of an attendant two
of the lions slipped out of their cage
and made straight for a couple of bar
rels of fat saved from the animals
food. In less than fifteen minutes the
300 men had disappeared through doors
and windows, but the attendant coolly
seized first one lion and then the other
by the scuff of the neck and in turn
fairly booted them back to their cage.
In regard to the spectacular effect of
a tanner in a lions den there is always
a deal of humbug. While the half
terrified public looks on, both man and
beast are performing a part that has
been we'll rehearsed beforehand, and
the animals are thoroughly proficient
in their respective casts. Separately
and together they are put through
their tricks leaping over poles and
through hoops of flame. With appar-
entity reckless regard for life. but know

manded, great preparations had been
made for the day.
The post was a large eight company
one, with four troops of cavalry and
battalion of infantry. Besides these
there was a company of Indian scouts
in camp nearby, and an Indian reser-
walton only a mile or two away. The
programme for the day included the
usual athletic sports with a baseball
game between cavalry and infantry
teams, and a shooting match between
teams of the same at the target ranges.
! These were for the morning, but, in the
afternoon, came the events which were
| to the majority the most exciting. There
were several prizes for cavalry races,
a prize for a cowboy race, and a prize
! for the widest, most dashing race of
all, that between the Indians on their
ponies.
! 1t is not usual for white boys, and
! especially commanding officers boys,
to make close friends of the children
on the reservation-the dirty Indian
children. but Charlie Allen when II
! years old would have been drowned in

ing we'll what he is about the keeper
thrusts his head between the lions
jaws. When he discharges a pistol
several times the animals scamper
round in apparent paroxysms of rage
and fear and when finally he dashes
out-all a very clever little stage per-
Torrance.
If any proof were needed to prove
that the lion is not to be. feared, one
has but to watch an ordinary attend
ant enter the cage to clean it. He
sweeps the dirt right and left without
the least attention to his majesty, who,
unless he keeps out of the way, is as
likely as not to get broomful of dust
in the face.

A LITTLE MISTAKE.
But It Caused nm Upronr In Nine
Rooms In the Hotel,

Tile other evening just before we
changed watch" said .he clerk at one of
the hotels, "a fat drummer came up and
began figuring out his expense account
for the day. He took the first piece OF
paper he could lay his hands on and
didn't notice that it was the blank we,
use for keeping memoranda of morning
calls. The blank is arranged in columns,
headed by figures representing the hours
and half hours, and he began his pencil
ing in the $3.50 row.
First he jotted down s15O for buggy
hire, then 10 cents for stamps, 80 cents
for car fare, SLIGO for express package,
$1.10 for kilograms, so cents for trunk
strap, 5 cents for a paper and % cents
for messenger service. Down at the
bottom, as an afterthought, he put 40
and wrote beer after it, thinking to
work it in somehow, suppose.
well, at $3.50 o'clock next morning
there was trouble and plenty Of it The
night clerk supposed, of course, that the
calls had been left in the ordinary way,
and, while he was little surprised at
so many people wanting to get up at
such an unearthly hour, he told the boys
to wake Nos $50, 10, SO, 100. 10, 80,

the people up, and everybody was as

about that time the boy with the
beer got to 40. There was a preacher
from north Georgia in the room, and he
called out to- know what was wanted.

a QUEER INDUSTRY.
Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go to
Waste.

A singular and but little known in
dustry is carried on in New York city in
the sale of oyster and clam shells. The
dealers in this commodity pursue their
calling in so transformations a way that
it attracts no attention. From the eating
houses where oysters and clans are con-
sumed the year round the shells are coll
lected by persons who either carry on
that business for themselves or are III
the employ of the wholesale dealers. 1t
seems incredible how large an area of
ground can be covered many feet deep
with the congiomerate of shells and for
eign matter that is unavoidably collected
with it and apparently amalgamates
without destroying the characteristics of
the harder material.
Seeing number of carts loaded with
shells moving toward the same point
would induce the supposition that more
reclaimed land was being filed in with
material that would exclude the posi-
bility of such land ever being used as
market garden, or it might be taken for
granted that another dump heap was al
lowed in some of the still unoccupied
upper west side lots. But if curiosity
should lead to investigation it would be
found that the carts We're bound for a
big yard at Fifty fourth street aud the
North river, where they deposited their
loads.
Every autumn the yard is so filed up
that considerable hill of shell is formed.
This being eNcayated from the bottom
as loads are again carried away leaves
the mass with the appearance of having
been geologically formed and offers a
curious sight TO the uninitiated. How
