DON'T FEAR LIONS.
Circus Man Says They Are Not
Nearly SO Fierce as the Most
of People Think

John B. Doris, who owned a circus for
80 years, once said that there is no
animal so easily handled and SO safe for
a performer as a lion. Besides being
intelligent they are about as easy tenn
pered as an overgrown dog and once
broken in anyone with whom they are
familiar can put them through their
tricks.
People are generally awed by the
appearance of the lion and his dreadful
roar, but in reality there is no occasion
for fear. In fact, the lion roars when he
feels in particularly happy mood, and
he can no more restrain himself than
a dog can keep from barking. The
sound is perhaps not pleasant and the
sight of the great open jaws ''scary,"
but then he really means nothing. 1t is
only his little way.
Mr.. Doris was once making ready TOR
the road in the exposition building at
Indianapolis. There were some 300
men at work in the building when,
through the carelessness of an attend
ant, two of the lions slipped out of their
cage and made straight for couple Of
barrels of fat saved from the animals
food. In less than Is 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 to their cage.
In regard to the thrilling effect of a
tanner in lions den there is always a
deal of humbug. While the half terri
fed public looks on both man and beast
are performing a part that has been
well rehearsed beforehand and the
animals know Just what to do. Separ-
ately and together they are put through
the tricks of leaping over poles and
through hoops of fame. With appar-
ertly reckless regard for life, but know
ing well what he is about, the keeper
thrusts his head between the lions
jaws. When he discharges pistol
several times the animals scamper
round in apparent paroXysms of rage
and fear and then finally he dashes out

ance.
If any proof were needed TO prove
that the lion is not to be feared one has
but to watch an ordinary attendant
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 his face
The only animals that are really

are the elephant and the leopard, the

Exposed Himself by Trimming His
Finger Nails in Hotel
Corridor.

II was sitting in one of the hotels at
the opening of carnival week, several
years ago." said veteran detective,
when l happened to notice a we'll
dressed man engaged in trimming his
finger nails. He used a peculiar, small
steel instrument, something like pair
of nippers, and one would have said at
a glance that it was some new kind of
manicure tool [ took second look

that evening L saw him sauntering
down st. Charles street to a point where
the crowd was pretty dense, and | made
it my business to follow on behind. He
glided into the crowd, stopped and
seemed to be examining the tops of the
buildings on the opposite side of Canal
street. At his elbow was portly gen
tleman of prosperous appearance, and
all around the people were as thick as
sardines in a box. In a moment my

the watch itself was in his pocket all

crowd was like finding money in the
street, and if l hadn't stopped him

JEWELRY BURIED IN GRAVES.
1t Consists Chiefly of Rings and Sell
dom includes Articles of
Great Value.

AS rule not much jewelry of value
is buried with the dead. In the case
of women, the jewehy buried with
them is likely to be confined to a plain
gold ring, which in the case of a wife
would be her wedding ring. 1t might
easily happen that this would be the
only ring worn at the time of death;
other rings having been taken from
the fingers because the wearing of
them might have been source of dis
comfort to the wearer. On the other
hand, it might happen that the rings
could not be easily removed. In such
case the rings would be left on the
fingers and buried with the body.
The wedding ring is not always bur-
led Sometimes the husband desires
TO keep it; in some instances, if there
are children in the family, it is given
to the oldest grown-up daughter. 9th
er rings buried with the dead would be
most commonly some plain bands val
ued as gift or keepsake or for some
dear association. Sometimes a dia-
mond ring might be buried for a sim
liar reason, perhaps with the diamond
turned inward, showing only plain
band upon the finger as the hand lay
across the body in the casket.
But while such is the prevailing prac-
tice, with constantly increasing OBJ
servance, it is not invariably followed.
There have been cases in which the
bodies of women have been buried with
earrings, and all the rings commonly
worn in life, including perhaps val
liable diamonds, relatives permitting
nothing to be taken away. Such cases
are unusual and are becoming rarer.
substantially the same practice pre-
walls with regard to the burying of
Watches and chains of value have
been buried with the dead, but not
often. Costly jewelry has been thus
buried, but this is seldom done; com
monty such jewelry as may be buried
is simple and comparatively ineNpen-
sive. There might be left upon the
finger some ring that had been spe-
cially dear to the dead, and that he
had wished to keep always.
Besides the rings there might be
buried various other articles of more
or less value, for which special at
tachment had been formed, or that
the dead had requested should be bur-
led with them. Still, not very much
jewelry of value is buried after all,
and the tendency is to bury less and
less.-N. Y. Sun.

Heroic Escape from Trap.

a rat got caught by the leg in store
and squealed loudly for mercy. The
proprietor of the store watched the rat,
which continued to squeal. Finally an
other rat crept cautiously out and
walked up to his unfortunate com
panion and evidently took the situation
in, for they seemed to talk with each
other and arrived at the conclusion
that the captured rats chances were
desperate, for the second one began to
enaw the unfortunate rats leg off, al
lowing it to escape, which it did, limp
ing away on three legs, the other leg
remaining in the trap. 1t almost
seemed as if they had deliberated over
the case and had reached the only pos
sible means of escape.-Bangor News.
