Payments. Or to make the case more
plain, he forgets the danger that sur

dangerous callings do; painter, for

ever present, and all the more ter

situation
A trainer must inspire constant
fear In the brutes. What power for
harm there is in the elephant, for in
stance; one swing of that powerful
trunk, and he could crush the life out
OF man. but he is possessed with an
ungovernable fear.
Some animal trainers live to a good
age and never have an accident. They
are absolutely fearless In their work.
and yet they may be no drawer than
you or l when other animals are In
question
There was one trainer who gave
a wonderful performance with a num-
Der OF animals in one cage. He would
take all manner of liberties with the
ferocious beasts. compelling them to do
his bidding. making them form pyra-
mids and lying down on them. When
you consider how cat or dog will
sometimes turn on you If not handled
just so. you must realize what ire
mendous power the trainer must ex-
ert over such huge savage beasts
OF all animals. Mr. Beck says, the
tiger is the worst and most treacher-
ous- 1t is necessary to keep the eye
fixed pretty constantly upon it, or 1t
may revolt at any moment.

HIS OWN PORTRAIT.


How an Artist Paints a Picture of
Himself.
1t has been common practice with
artists of all ages and countries to
paint their own pictures, and at the
Uffizi gallery in Florence can be seen a
magnificent collection Of portraits of
the worlds great painters done by
themselves. 1t is coveted honor to be
invited to contribute ones own portrait
to this collection, for one must be emf
nent before this compliment is paid. AS
may be easily understood, painting
ones own portrait is a somewhat trou-
blesome task, for the painter must do
a good deal from memory, especially
If he puts himself in an attitude which
1t is difficult to reflect in a mirror A
straightforward portrait looking out of
the picture Is obviously the easiest to
manage, for the painter has only to
place the mirror in front of him to see
his model.
Triple and quadruple mirrors must
be employed when the attitude is in
any way removed from full face. A
profile would be more difficult to see
for oneself but a three-quarter face
would be no less so, as in both cases
the artist would be working from re-
Election of a reflection, which, to say
the least of it, is a bothering condition.
The looking at oneself for long
time is one of the strange and trying
conditions of painting ones own por-
trait. for difficulties and complexities
appear to grow the more one tries to
grapple with them. Like the road to
the tired traveller, which seems to
lengthen as he goes, so the difficulties
of painting oneself appear to increase
rather than diminish the more one
looks at oneself.
Apart from painting ones one por-
trait, artists largely draw from them
selves, for a man can more easily as
sumo a particular attitude than get
another person to do so. Then for de-
tails, such as a hand. arm, nose, eye,
the artist and a mirror supply all that
is required. Another Of the many uses
of a mirror is to reverse the work dur
ing it's progress, as reversing a draw
ing will often reveal an awkwardness,
want of balance or faulty drawing,
which might otherwise go undetected.

DOES AL BUT TALK.
The Worlds Most Remarkable Horse In
Peranfiona AZ tha Tvnnaikinu


Receptions at the Exposition.
Philadelphia, Oct a4.-Speech alone
is denied to Jim Key, the most intelli-
gent horse that ever looked through
bride or munched oats, but he makes
himself as clearly understood as the
most accomplished linguist. When 1t
Is said that speech is denied to Jim
Key, audible speech only is meant. The
handsome bay, through whose veins
flow the purest of Arabian and Ham
bletonian blood. can read and spell;
can write his own name and talk poll
tics: can add, subtract, multiply or d.
vide all sums under 30, can count
money and make change; can manipu-
late cash register and a street car
register; can file letters and play a
hand organ, and finally. can hold his
breath while his nose is deep in a jar
OF water, and can pick up from the bot
tom of this jar silver dollar. Jim
does all these things daily for his Wis
ttors at the exposition.
Jim Key Is a Democrat-constant
and answering. Even President Nc
Kinley could not induce him to change
his politics when the president had
chat with him on the grounds of the
Nashville exposition. The horse recog
nized the president, told him his name
and politics, but persisted in remaining
a Democrat.
Why, Jim." said President McKin-
ley, you know that I'm Republican,
yet you tell me that you're Demo-
crat"
When the horse nodded an emphatic
affirmative Mr. Mckinley continued:
We'll. there's one living being in tho
country. at least, who won't change his
politics for an Office"
OF the stories and anecdotes con-
corning this truly wonderful horse
there is no end Efforts have been
made to disconcert him by mixing up
his alphabet and asking him to spell
words from which some of the neces-
sary letters have been removed from
his sight. The mixing up Of the alpha
bet gives him small trouble, and when,
after a careful look, he discovers that
some necessary letter IL missing, he
gives unmistakable notice that he has
discovered the trick played on him.
Some ordinary words he spells upon
pronunciation, but If word or name
is new to him he will so attest, and
only endeayor to spell it after 1t has
been once spelled for him. His owner
insists that no name has ever been
spelled to Jim which he could not re-

afterwards. but Jim has never been

Youngest of showmen

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-Decidedly the
youngest barker" on the Exposition
Esplanade, and one of the most sue
cessful in drawing a crowd, is little
Archie Rogers, son of A. R. Rogers, the
owner of Jim Key. Little Archie is
scarcely 5 years old, and whenever he
is permitted to appear in front Of Jim
Keys exhibition hall he takes great de-
light in swinging his arms and calling
to the crowd: Come in and see Jim
Key-only ten cents-knows more than
any horse in the world" When Archie
was but a toddling tot his most en-
joyable pastime was to play Jim
Key" He would hang up the cards
with the different letters, and then 20
and take them off with his mouth, and
bring them to his mother, who turned
his play to the good purpose of teach
ing him the alphabet. Whenever the
little fellow gets his chance at the
crowd he seems to captivate it by his
winsome ways and barker" antics, and
soon hlls the hail.

A man can be measured to the best
advantage, tailors say, away from a
glass. Standing before mirror he is
almost certain to throw out his chest,
II he does not habitually carry it so,
and take an attitude that he would
like to have rather than the one he
commonly holds, whereas the tailor
wants him, as the portrait painter
wants his subject, in his natural pose
and manner. With the man in that at
titude the tailor can bring his art to

SMALLEST BABY IN THE WORLD.

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-It has just

when an animal trainer Is performing
with ferocious beasts one may be quite
right if he imagines the man is a

that there is no danger you are wholly
wrong. A trainer never confronts the

THRILLING SNAKE FIGHT.
Big Tussle Between Clown Bobby Mack
and Big Constructor at the
Hagenhack Shnw

Philadelphia. Oct 24.-This is most
extraordinary story of fight between
man and 10 foot boa constructor.
Bobby Mack, respectable and trust
worthy employe. holding the position
of clown and animal instructor with the
Hagenback wild animal aggregation,
weighs $50 pounds, is as strong as
lion, and can hold man over his head
with one hand. Yet Mack, with a base
ball bat. was unable to finish the
snake. The serpent not only showed
remarkable agility, but showed that it
had genuine courage. and could fight
like a cornered panther. 1t gave Mr..
Mack the prettiest tussle for points
history has probably ever recorded. 1t
Is to be added that after two rounds
the fight ended in draw, with both
contestants thoroughly winded.
Mack had occasion to go into the
show early this morning, when he
heard terrific threshing Recognizing
at once that one of the snakes had es-
capped from its box. he advanced, and
saw the 10 foot boa constructor rear its
ugly head over the top of one of the
animal cages. AIack looked around for
some weapon of defense, but finding
none turned and fed into the Es-
planade. where he secured a bat and
scurriod back TO the show. He thought
1t would be fun to cut the snake into
mince meat with the club.
The snake had not escaped upon the
return OF Mack. but had opinions of its
own in relation to the impending COM
bat. It coiled Itself into a huge mass
and assumed defensive position. Tn
went the club through the air and
caught the snake on the head. For an
instant the snake wavered; then like
a kissing rocket 1t shot forward and
made lunge at Mack Before the
snake recovered Mack had again given
It a terrific blow with the club.
The clown rained blow after blow
upon the crazed creature, and once was
sent sprawling to the ground Before
he could get on his feet the snake had
seized him around the waist and was
endeavoring to crush him. Mack
wriggled loose with the assistancs of
Mathew Johnson and others. At the
nrst opportunity he reversed his bat
and gave the reptile an awful blow In
the neck with the butt end
Down in a heap went the snake. and
Mack was certain he had knocked 1t
completely out. but he was mistaken.
