BRILLIANT FEATURE
OF BOST0CK MIDWAY
Thousands Have Been Astonished
at the Feats of the "Queen of
the Jaguars."

The science OF wild animal subjugation
and instruction is personified in Its de-
gree of perfection in Director General
Frank G. Bostock, the animal king, and
his wonder-inspiring trained wild animal
arena, where, in a great sixty foot cir
cular steel cage. the widest and most
ferocious OF beasts are put through the
most astounding performances. Sub
servient to the wills of the worlds
premier trainers these fierce forest
denjzens are made to perform the most
difficult OF feats and illustrate animal in
teiligence and education in its highest
element.
At the great Worlds Fair in Chicago,
the Hagenback trained animals were the
star feature of the world.famous Midway
Plaisance, and since then every trained
wild animal exhibit of all the great eX-
positions have been exclusively owned
and controlled by Director General
Frank c. Bostock. The superative en-
terprise and indefatigabe managerial
ability of whom the world has never had
an equal. Ferocious forest bred African
lions, fierce, bloodthirsty Bengal tigers,
treacherous, snar!ing India leopards,
venomous and deadly serpents and rep
tiles, all thirsting for the blood OF the
daring trainers ready to slay at the
slightest opportunity, but subdued by
the master human mind and fearless
heart, are shown in performances which
thrill ones very soul and almost cause
the heart to stand still as one witnesses
these world famous, oweinspiring acts,
magnificent daring.
Madam Louise Morelli, petite little
French woman, with her troupe of per-
forming leopards, pumas, jaguars and
panthers, will be seen for the first time
in this city since her recent narrow
escape from death at Newark, n. j. She
was attacked by bloodthirstv leopard
in the arena and frightfully bitten and
torn, but with courage indomnitable,
and daring unprecedented, wounded as
she was, she lash9d into submission her
f4rocious would-be SLAYER, and drove
him into his den. Her performance is
the most thrilling and wonderful mortal
eye has ever witnessed, and truly does
she merit the title of "Queen OF the
Jaguars."
OF all the animal kingdom, her sub
jects are the most ferocious and blood
thirsty, treachery in its lowest and most
cowardly degree is their strongest trait,
and at any moment they will tear and
MAIN the hand that feeds them. Unlike
the lordy lion, who has at least some
degree Of nobility III his character, the
panther Tribe are absolutely devoid oil
affection or gratitude. The kindest
treatment has no effect upon them, and
only by an absolute exeltion Of force
to COW them into submission can they bt
subjugated. They do not kill their prey
for food or in self defense, but slay from
pu:e malice and bloodthirstiness. Theil
sole delight is in destroying life, thei
greatest relish is in tapping human blood
Among these sneaking, snarling
swapping beasts, the intrepid littl,
French woman moves calmly abou
without fear, putting them through
performance which holds the vas
audiences spellLound. 1t is not until i
is over, until the ferocious performer
have been driven from the arena int,
their dens, and earth's pluckiest womal
is bowing and smiling her exit, that re
action occurs and thunderous applaus
and widest cheers and bravos fill tn
great canvas ampitheatre.
