STRUCK TERROR TO LIONS.

Savage Reasts Were Panic. Stricken at
Sight Of Strange Woman.
More animals are lost to the stage
through fear than through viciousness.
The show people dread timid lion,
tiger or leopard not only because in its
panic it is likely to injure the trainer,
but because it Is unreliable and may
take fright and spoil a performance at
any moment from the slightest causes.
An incident at the Porte st. Martin
Theater in Paris has become part Of the
annals of the show business. The chief
feature Of the exhibition was turn"
consisting Of the casting Of young
woman, securely bound. into cage Of

most bloodthristy Of maneaters.

Some Dav.

You've read in books he never read,
And sometimes flaws are in his speech,
And there Is little In his head
That specialized professors teach,
And for the things he doesn't know
You rather pity him, but oh,
Some day, my boy. you'll realize,
When from your eyes
The scales shall fall!-
Then you will know your father knew
A thing or two,
After all!
His hands are big, his shoulders round,
For drudgery lends little grace;
And art within his breast has found
Alas! but little vacant space!
In toiling, toiling up the hill
Some pleasing founts he passed, but still.
Some day, my boy, you'll realize,
When from your eyes
The scales shall fall!-
Then you will know your father knew
A thing or two,
After all!

The sunlight on the hill. dear,
The black storm ON the plain.
Be these as Fate shall will. dear
For sunlight or for rain.
This thought alone can thrill, dear:
I'VE shall not meet again"
Nay-not by any river
Or Towering field of grain
On heights Of high endeavor-
In wales Of peace or pain:
One grief. dear heart, forever:
I'VE shall not meet again.
No world will pause to wonder:
Needless it drifts amain,
The blue or black skies under,
With all its grace and gain.
And we, dear heart, asunder,
Never to meet again!

from the front of the cabin the old col

women and children. Then laid the

squaw who was riding mustang. The

be overtaken at any moment by the

San Gabriel prairie they circled around

Evolutions Of the Warships.

A whole neet in the days Of Nelson

more than the cost Of single ironclad:
the coal expended on a single cruise
would pay for the re6tting Of his whole
battle line. while the immense shells
required to make any impression on
the modern armor plate cost more than
his whole armament. But the modern

to have commenced with the first appli.

HOME FOR
Movement Started to Establish It ir
Denver.

Denver may have the proposed
home for aged, invalid and crippled
railroad trainmen. This city has been
suggested by the movers in the plan
as a place centrally located in the west
and possessing a climate that is all
that could be desired.
The establishment of a home for
railroad trainmen has been agitated
by railroad men in the west and the
project is beginning to assume some
tangible shape. The Brotherhood of
Locomotive tiremen appropriated 49,
900 towards the home, and other or
CARNATIONS of railway men have been
requested to make appropriations.
Several of the important western lines
have already signified a willingness
to aid the project financially and it is
now thought that there is no question
but what the home will be established
At present there is no such institu-
ton and the need of such a home has
" liloiN thiAN apparent "
cry year to railroad lei and they have
become more and more determined
that such a home should be founded.
1t is proposed to locate it in or near
some western city. easy of access and
at the some time where the climate
would be conducive to the health of it's
inmates. Denver offers all the re-
quisite inducements.
1t is proposed to model the home
after the Masonic home at Springfield,
Ohio, or the Soldiers home at Lafay-
cite, Ind, where the inmates can do
something toward the support of the
institution. The home, too, would
draw from a special fund established
in each of the trainmen's organiza-
tions.-Denver Republican.
