A WOMAN LION TAMER.
Young and Handsome Girl, with
Plenty of Money, Chooses to Tame


New York, Jan. st is not often that
the tanning and training of ferocious
beasts is adopted as a pastime. Least
of all does it seem likely that such On
occupation would appeal to a woman as
means Of diversion Yet one of the
most successful lion tanners in Germany is
Miss Cora Benoit of Leipzig, who adopted
this unique occupation as a source of en-
tertainment rather than of income
Miss Benoit is handsome young woman

English extraction and being the daugh-
ter of well-to-do parents, she was care
fully and thoroughly educated. Her par

teens and after their deaths she resided

In this situation she had many oppor-
tunites to study the animals in the Leip-

danger of such an undertaking which re-
quires the strength and nerve of the brav-
est men to be carried out successfully.
Fraulein Benoit was convinced, however,
that she had as much courage as any
man and moreover that she understood
the nature of lions as well as most per-

INGRATITUDE OF THE RESCUED.
Those Rescued From Violent Death
Almost Invariably Hate md Avoid
Their SaViOrs.


New York. Jan SIT is a common belief
that persons saved from drowning are for
ever grateful to their rescuers There is
little II any foundation or justification for
this belief, for persons rescued from wa
terry graves invariably detest and ignore
those who have risked life or limb to
save them.
The same may be said of those who have
been saved from accidental death of any
kind, but the ingratitude of the ones res
cued from drowning seems 20 be most pro-
nounced. Every one who has saved life
in the water has had some experience with
this seemingly unnatural phase of human
nature.
1t is true that there has been Instances
when the rescuer has been rewarded but
among 10000 persons saved it is barely
possible to pick out five who proved that
they were grateful
Psychologists and others who have made
a study of this ingratitude account for n
from the fact that persons saved from a
violent death have such a horror of the
incident that they hate everything identi
fed with 1t.
Another reason, and a logical one too
is that the rescued one feels he owes MOI
only his being, but all he possesses to his
rescuer and can reward him only bv offer
ing his ALL even though he possess mil
lions. The selfishness of nature then as
serts itself and he concludes to offer
nothing. As with the man who borrows

not even after an extension of time. he

best known on the Pacific SLOPE saved up
wards of fifty persons from drowning and
experienced the ingratitude of the rescued
on several occasions.
Once when in a tight place, he wanted
to borrow $50 from a millionaire, Mr.. M,
whom he had saved from drowning in 1881
at great peril, but NJ told him that his
money was all locked up in real estate
and he couldn't oblige him.
A other rich man who was assessed for
real estate in San Francisco for $780, 900,
was rescued by Capt. Daily after hard
struggle and di int even return thanks
A resident of Vine Hill, Cal, wealthy
man saved from drowning by the brave
Daily, would not sign the certificate prov
ing the rescue which was TO be forwarded
10 Washington and through which he was
70 obtain the national medal for bravery
in saving life.
A railroad lawyer. who was rated a mil
lionaire, would have lost three members Of
his family but for the prompt and daring
action of the heroic Daily, but when it
was suggested TO him to reward the self
sacrificing Daily. he shrugged his shout
ders and remarked He only did that
which any brave man would do" He was
q coward and q cur himself, according 10
his own statement, for he was a good
swimmer yet dared not take risk even
for his own children Later when Daily
went to him, as he was a notary pubic,
10 have four affidavits sworn TO which
would accompany the certificate afore-
mentioned, he charged Daily so cents on
each. the notary's fee amounting to 81. al
though Daily needed the money at the
time for room rent. When chided for his
meanness he said ut was a matter OF
business with me-"

PICTURESQUE SOUTH SEA ISLAND
VILLAGE OVER At kAkAAKO POINT
GuBERTEsE a RESULT OF THE PLACE HAVE GATI
TOGETEHER AND CREATED A VILLAGE

over at Kakaako Point which but for
the sea wall would be an island is locat-
ed one of the most curious and interest
ing settlements in the Islands. The
scattered members of the South Sea
race have gradually reunited after
years of separation, and taken up their
abode on the little patch of ground out
by the channel. The people are nearly
all from Gilbert Island, and they still
retain the leading characteristics Of
their native land. BY what right they
came to their residence on the point is
not clear. Probably some of them in
their wandering about the bay saw the
isolated place free from close commu-
nication to the more advanced civiliza-
ton of Honolulu and forthwith proceed
ed to trek from Relief Camp num-
Der / on Punchbowl street to their new
found land.
1t has been within only the last two
or three months that the point has
served for a place of general habitation.
Up to that time perhaps one or two
houses were the only living places there.
Now the settlement has grown so rapid
ly that it resembles a small sized vii
lage with fully thirty huts of various
description, jumbled together on the
shore side of the place. The people live
mainly by fishing. Some of the old
ones, and they are not very numerous,
contribute toward the maintenance of
their homes by weaving those wonder
full tall crowned wide brimmed native
hats that the foreigner regards as a
curiosity, and the native considers a
highly serviceable article.
Viewed from the outside the houses
have most startling appearance, and
the wonder grows how such an extern
sive variety of materials could ever
have been secured in so short a time.
The dwellings seem to have been con-
structed from about every article dis
carded by Honolulu. Drift wood has
been used to a gerat extent in building
the huts, while the always useful coal
oil can has been utilized to almost as
great an extent. The tallest hut is not
over fifteen feet high, and this is one
of the few of the two stories of the VIII
lage. For the most part the people live
in very low one story houses, and judg
ing from the small size of the huts,
the ground must have been the highest
article in the possession of the Island
ers. In many places the caves are not
more than three feet in height while
the ridge pole runs probably four feet
higher The dimensions of such a house
are probably eight by ten and if the
family happens to be more than usually
prosperous there are two rooms of pos
sible larger size. Inside, the places are
clean enough for there is no floor eX-
cept the sand, covered in the majority
of cases with mats. Some times there
are tiny windows closed by a piece of
board or a bit of tin. To most of the
entrances is a covering of a mat sup
ported by a couple of sticks, in order
that the tenant can come out and pro-
tected from the hot sun enjoy the
breeze from the water.
Cooking is done with few implements.

The needs of the Islander are very few
i'm the way of diet and there is natur-
ally a corresponding shortage of YES
sells i'm which to prepare his food Fish
and poi constitute the average bill of
fare. Some of the women have their
cooking places in separate little sheds
close to the door of their residences
while others cook in the open.
on the mauka side of the Point the
water runs around the Sea Wall and
makes an excellent harbor for the small
surf boats There is probably not more
than half a dozen such boats owned
by the natives but the South Sea ISL
ander is energetic in his fishing and
generally manages to bring home more
than enough fish to supply the demands
of home consumption. The balance he
takes to the public market. 1t is in
this harbor that the native women do
their washing. But on the other side
of the village is the sea wall and the
deeper water and here it is that the
people, young and old enjoy their bath
ing. 1t was probably couple of hun
dred yards from where the children
battle that the huge shark with a por-
ton of the remains of the unfortunate
Uhlbrecht in it's stomach was caught by
one of the Islanders. With an utter
disregard of the possibilities of the
monster as a source of revenue from
curious public, the natives proceeded to
cut Jne shark 10 pieces LOT IOOu Saving
only the liver for oil and the terrible
jaws and teeth for curiosities to be sold
possibly to some collector of curios.
The children lead a happy easy life
like the balance of their kind, for
the South Sea Islander has the most in
dolent tired-feeling look about his
dwelling that can be imagined. The
youngsters some times gather the pref
ty tiny shells which are cast up along
the shores of their home, and il the
visitors be numerous there is a chance
of selling the trinkets for a small sum-
Some of the children go to school. Few
if any of the people on the Point can
speak the English language even in the
toughest way, and conversation with
them is conducted at a disadvantage.
There are a few Hawaians living in
the settlement but they are dominated
by the environment rather than add
local color to the village.
The first people from Gilbert Island
came here about fifteen years ago.
They say that they came on the repre-
sentaton that they would have an easy
existence with plenty of money and lit
tie work Subsequently others came
until. with the natural growth of the
human family, the South Sea popula-
ton of Honolulu has grown to be close
onto seventy-five or a hundred souls.
For a while the people lived about the
Islands but at the time of the plague
they had gathered themselves into a
little house on Queen street. The place
was burned down and the crowd was
removed to the relief camp on Punch
bowl street. About last April or May
they moved down to Kakaako Point
where they We're Joined by others of
their race until now this distinctive
South Sea settlement has grown up.
