Cow Baby Lions at the Zoo Are Made
to Go to Bed.


Baby lions, as well as baby boys
and girls, need fresh air and sun
shine, so at the Washington Zoo the
baby lions have summer quarters
where they can run and stretch
their limbs in a freedom somewhat
akin to thet of the jungle. So well
do they like their outdoor quarters
that they will not go in at closing
time, although their big, tender
mother urges them by all the ways
of which she is mistress. A novel
method has to be resorted to in
order to get these big babies into
their cage without hurting them,
for gentleness is one of the rules at
the Washington Zoo, and no animal
is punished where humane treat
ment will answer. When the ami
mails are called to their quarters,
che three baby lions poke their
wrinkled noses close to the bars and
settle themselves down as if to pro-
test against going to bed. Then a
Waterman approaches with hose
and shoots a stream of water close
to their small snarling faces. Then
back go the kittens by the great
rocks to the cavern like door Of the
inner cage, followed every step of
the way by the man with the hose,
Finally the three small heads dis
appear and the sliding door hides
three pairs of eyes from glazing out
into the darkness. Baby lions do
not like water at least, not on
their smooth coats-and the animal
keeper, who has noticed kitten
stop and shake protesting foot on
a wet pavement, has turned his OBJ
servation to good account in get
ting these giant pussies to bed.

Geronimo's Sword.

An amusing controversy followed
the recent surrender of General
Licerio Geronimo, the Filipino
leader The federal party of Fill
pinos laid claim to his sword on the
ground that he had willed it to them
as souvenir in recognition Of their
fundamentally in bringing about
his surrender. Colonel Thompson
Of the Forty-second regiment con-
sidered the side arm as his property,
as it had been delivered to him when
Geronimo surrendered. Then it
was found that this particular
sword the chieftain had turned over
was not his own, but one he borrow
ed for the occasion. Finally the
federal party resigned all claim to
the sword, leaving Colonel Thomp-
son in possession of it. It now
comes to light that the real weapon
worn by Geronimo in the war is
actually in the hands of still an
other officer

CONDENSED STORIES.
How Senator Mason Recognized Man
That INTERRUPTED.

That Interrupted.
Senator William E. Mason of Hi
nois is good campaigner and a
great stump speaker, relates the
New York Times. His wit and elo-
quence are not of the most refined
order, but they are just the thing
to catch crowd. Mason is never
at loss for retort and enjoys be-
ing interrupted in a speech.
During one of his campaigns he
was getting his usual share of in
terruptions in a speech he was de-
livering at Springfield, Ills. Mason
was enjoying himself and was max
ing a great hit with the majority of
the crowd. There was one man,
however, who tangled Mason up
somewhat. This man had imbibed
more alcohol than was good for him.
He was on the outskirts of the
crowd, and he was asking Mason
questions in thick voice. The
senator could not catch the ques-
tions, and as he did not at first know
what was the matter with the fell
low he stopped and attempted to
catch the question each time. He
always failed and this led to several
awkward pauses. At last Mason be-
came irritated. The next time an
interruption came from the intoxi-
Gated one Mason asked:
"Who are you?"
Don't you know me, Billy ?''
came the answer in maudlin and
swaying tones.
Mason paused. 'My friend .
said he in measured and metallic
voice, 81 don't recognize your face,
but your breath is familiar"

RUNAWAY AND SMASHED.
Horses Run Away With Four Bind.
ers in Big Wheat Field.

Friday at Obion quite an excit-
ing and dangerous runaway occurr-
ed in the field of John Board, who
lives one mile north of Obion, and
who is is one of the largest farmers
in the county, and who is threshing
crop of 600 or 700 acres of wheat.
Mr.. Board had five binders run
ming in the field in which the run
away occurred, following each other
around in the field. He was hauling
water for the hands in his buggy,
and got out of the buggy, leaving
his horse standing. The horse be-
came frightened and ran, passing
the rear binder and frightening the
team This team and the horse and
buggy started the next and the
next, until four binders, 81 horses
and the drivers were all in the wild,
mad rush. -Four of the binders col1id-
ed and in the wreck were tumbled
and mixed the machinery, horses
and men. The cutter bow ran over
colored boy, who was lying on his
face and cut him from the calf of
his leg up to the hips, but not
dangerously deep. Another colored
man was slightly hurt by bolt
being driven into his hand or arm.
The machinery was smashed up
generally. One fine mare and one
mule had their forelegs cut off above
the knees, and had to be shot to
put them out of misery. Alto
gether it was dangerous and cost
ly affair, and will not soon be for
gotten by those who witnessed it.
Mr.. Board is a prudent, cautious
man, works fine teams, uses the
best machinery and is careful to Sc
lect good drivers.
A telephone message was for
warded Immediately to r. f. Tis-
dale here for two new binders, but
when the wrecked machines were
put together it was found they |
could all be used and the order for
new machines was countermanded.
