THE LION-TAMER'S JOB.
One Who Has Been Bitten Forty
Seven Times During His DAN
ReRous Career.

External vigilance is the price of i'm

recently to a New York Telegraph man.
Although my lions do not often catch
me, they do with a frequency sufficient
for all practical purposes. Within
three months 1 have been bitten twice
on the leg and once on my right arm.
Altogether in my career l have been
bitten something like AZ times. But
lion tanners get used to such little
things.

perienced was when was bitten almost
through the right thigh. With good
treatment soon recovered. There il
no better remedy for an animal bite
than lukewarm water and plenty OF

II have found the Asiatic lion the

tame than are the females, aud cubs are

COOL AND TELLING NERVE.
- Knowing GeoloGist Made Use Of
an Opportunity to Overavve
HIS Help.

For sheer. cool nerve and absolute,
inspired genius in dealing with men,
commend me to Clarence King, the pe-
ologist. ii the story that is telling about
town be .true. Mr.. King, the tale runs,
was in the field all one summer-last
summer, ! think-with a government
expedition. The field happened to be in
the Tar west, and the men he was COM
PEELED to employ as assistants were a
band Of cheerful rutiaps, halt-breed
desperadoes and 'greaser" scamps, SAYS
the Washington Post. Bad as they
were, they worked well, and they were
indispensable. One night one of them
deserted. Mr.. King knew what that
meant. 1t meant a stampede and an
empty camp if the deserter were al
lowed to go UNPUBLISHED. He chose a
companion on whose silence he could
depend, mounted and took the trail.
On the third day the deserter was over
taken, captured. and landed in a con-
yenient fort.
The runaway had subsisted for three
days OF his liberty on such game and
birds as he could KILL His horse was
white, and as he rode often with prev
w ShS Tic animal was
streaked and stained with blood. The
man being in safe keeping, Mr.. King
and his companion rode back to camp
leading the crimson-streaked horse,
with all the deserter's belongings
strapped to his back. They spoke no
word Of the missing man to his former
companions, but dismounted in grim si-
lence. The men endured the panps of
curiosity as long as they could. Then
they sent a committee to Mr.. King to
make inquiries about the fugitive. Mr..
King gave a meaning glance at the
blood-stained horse and made answer
briefly:
"He is gone" he said, impressively.
He is gone where anybody else who
tries to desert will go, too"
Half-breeds and "greasers" easped
and crossed themselves, and from that
day on no one Of them ever tried to de.

The question of the forcible annex
alton OF the Philippines is ably dis
cussed by William j. Bryan in an ar
ticle in the New York Independent.
He Gays in part:
@The Declaration of Independence
asserts that the governments derive
their just power from the consent of
the governed, and this is the doctrine
that we have adhered to for moro
than q century.
@It the doctrine set forth in the
Declaration of Independence is sound
how can we rightly acquire sovereign
ty over the Filipinos by war of con-
quest? II the doctrine set forth In
tho Declaration of independence is
sound how can we rightly purchase
sovereignty from Spanish sovereign
whose title we disputed in Cuba and
whose rebellious subjects we armed
in the PhilppinesF
ain the beginning of the Spanish
war Congress denied that we had any
thought of securing by conquest
new territory in the Western Henis.
phere. Why should we now think of
securing in the Eartern Hemisphere
new races for subjugat1on.
ut is surprising that any believer
In self government should favor for
chile annexation, but still more sur
prising that any one who believes in
the Christian religion and substitution
OF force for reason in the extension of
our Nations influence.
IF we adopt the gunshot policy in
the Philippines, how long will it be
before that principle win be trans
planted In American soil? So long
as our arguments are addressed to
the reason and the heart, our progress
is sure. but can we, without danger
to Christianity, desert to the ancient
plan of injecting religion into the
body through bullet holes?
"The question is frequently asked
what can we dor Nearly two months
elapsed between the signing of the
treaty and the beginning of hostii-
ties in the Philippines. During that
time Congress might have given the
Fiipinos the same assurance of inde-
pendence that was given to the Gu
bans. Such assurance would have
prevented bloodshed.
III the President ls not willing to
take the responsibility of enforcing
the doctrine set forth in the Declare
ton OF Independence, he can call

responsibility.

pensive than war, not to speak of

MAYOR KIEFER is POSITIVE.
Says Laws Regarding Gambling and
Wine Rooms Are Not Violated

Says Laws Regarding Gambling and
Wine Rooms Are Not Violated.
When shown Judge Kelly's charge
to the grand jury, Mayor Kiefer yes
terday expressed surprise at that por-
ton of the judges communication re-
lating to the existence Of gambling,
the existence of wine rooms and the
practice Of selling liquor to minors.
The mayor said he had particularly
instructed the police as to the sup
preston Of these particular offenses,
and declared that he was positive that
there was no gambling going on. He
said there might be an occasional polk
er game about town, where a few
congenial spirits got together for a
friendly game OF draw, but was en-
phatic in denying the existence of
public gaming.
Il have investigated this gambling
matter personality said Mayor Kiefer,
and [ know what 1 am talking about.
There is no gambling house running in
this city, I am quite certain. I have
no knowledge of such being the case,
and I think I should know it if public
gambling was going On. AS to pri-
waite games Of poker, there may be
such, the same as a person might play
With a party in ones own house, If
there are these games, 1 do not know
it, but, even if they do run, I cannot
see that such games can be stopped
There may be some wine rooms
running. They are hard to suppress.
L have, however, had the police par
t1cularly instructed as to watching
for such places, and, where suspicion
has rested, the places have been I'M
der surveillance for days and nights
at time. The course Of the police in
the Lynch case is evidence of nv DO
slt1on in regard to wine rooms They
will not be tolerated The trouble is
that offenders charged with conduct
ing wine rooms are too leniently dealt
with in the municipal court No con-
sideration should be shown any one
found guilty Of conducting a wine
room. They deserve the maximum
penalty.
''The sale of liquors to minors I
think is general. The police are in
structed not to allow children in sa-
looms or to purchase liquors. If some
saloonl1eepers violate the law, they
should be punished. If there is anv
gambling in st. Paul, or if wine rooms
are running and liquor being sold to
minors, then 1 would only be thankful
to the grand jury for anything that
might be done to stop these things"

Lcech Lake Indians and Other Of
tenders Given CIemency.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The presi-
dent has pardoned the five Leech lake
Indians sentenced to various terms Of
imprisonment and fined at the late
term of the United States district
court for Minnesota for resisting the
United States marshal in making an
arrest. In his recommendation of par
DON, the attorney general says:
The law has now been INDICATED
and the power of the government es-
tabllshed by the stern and severe les
son administered. In my Judgment
no further punishment is necessary to
enforce the respect Of the Indians for
the authority of the federal court, and
l believe that executive clemency
shown at this time should be bene-
fetal" sgF .
The secretary of the interior con-
Cured in these views. The president
has also pardoned William c. Sorter
who is now undergoing life sentence
for the murder of Albert Lang, in the
Indian territory, in 1883. The circum-
stances connected with the killing
were such as to excite great sympathy
for Sorter among all classes of citi-
zens, and it is the opinion with per-
sons conversant with all the facts that
the killing under the law was man
slaughter, and not murder Having
now served ten years, the usual term
for manslaughter the punishment is
deemed adequate to the crime
pardon also has been granted in
the case of Francis Brown, convicted
in Connecticut in 1895 for making
counterfeit coin, and Nathan Johns,
convicted in the Indian territory of
stealing a horse.
