They lined up at the bar. and the
tall young man ordered three cent

he laid down 10 cents on the bar. at
which the German proprietor remark
ed, "Nein; fifdeen." The tall young

TRAINING OF ANIMALS.
Only Accomplished 1t Is Said. by the
Use of the Whip.

The popular theory that animals cain
be taught tricks by tirmness and kind
ness Is Il grim error, according to a vet
eran circus man who has sent forth
the dctum that no animal was ever
trained to do anything unnatural ex-
cept by punishment. If it knows hun
ger or pain will follow disoDedience, it
will obey.
1t takes the whip to break the colt to
harness or saddle. but the end justities
the means. aud the animals intelli-
gence' when once it has learned it's les
son does away with further use of the
whip. But if horse is taught tricks,
such as one sees in a circus, the con-
slant use of the whip is necessary,
and the little pat on the neck the train
err gives the animal in public is not be-
slowed in private. There is never any
let up in their training.
Trained dogs always appeal to wom-
en- and children, for the little animals
appear to thoroughly enjoy their work.
But the barking and frisking are only
the natural JOY of the poor beasts at
being let out Of the cramped quarters
where they stay when they are not In
the ring. Moreover, they know the
trainer does not whip them in public.
There is scarcely trick a trained dog
does that lie likes or that he will do at
order unless punished. Willis Cobb
was the first dog trainer to make a
| reputation, and when he was middle
aged he abandoned his profession be-
| cause, he said, he had not the heart to
go on making living by whipping
| dogs.-Cleveland World.
