A GENTLE LIONESS.
Broke Out of the Menagerie But Showed
None Of Her Native Instincts.

Following is story told of the es-
cape of a Iioness from menagerie at
Chartres the other day, which makes
one think that such a gentle creature
should net be kept a captive behind
bolts and bars, but should be allowed
the same freedom Of action as the
most respectable pug or pussy cat. It
was evening when the lioness left the
menagerie, and for some hours her abb
senee was not noticed. Meanwhile
she met an old lady, who patted her on
the head, thinking her to be a dog.
This kindly treatment evidently won
the heart of the honess, who followed
her meekly for some distance. Then
the hue and cry was raised; women
and children, panie-stricken, shut.
themselves into housesand barricaded
windows and doors while a search was.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
illustrated in Queer Manner During .
Milwaukee Fire.

For years the most yenerated OBJ
ieet in certain household has been
a small tin box that was kept under
the window seat in the family living
room. Interest attached to it, says
the Milwaukee Sentinel, because It
was known to contain valuable papers
and one by one the members Of the
family, duly sworn to secrecy as to
the hiding place of the box, have bee1d
instructed that in case Of fire, what
ever else might be left behind, that
box must be saved. Onsweeping days
it was always carefully removed from
its corner before the room was turned
over to the housemaid, and it was
never replaced in the presence Of q
servant, SO fearful was everyone that
something might happen to it. One
day the gasoline stove in the kitchen
exploded and there was great confu-
sion. The fire department dashed
upon the scene, the children and
servants screamed IN chorus, but the
wife and mother kept her head. At
the first alarm she went to the vim
dow seat, pulled aside the Bagdad rug
that covered it and picked up the box.
All through the excitement that fol-
lowed she went about with the pre-
cious box safe under her arm, direct
ing the frernen, quieting the children
and congratulating herself upon the
presence Of mind she displayed. When
her husband, hurriedly summoned
from his place Of business, arrived to
find the fire out but the house dis
mantled, his wife met him at the
door.
We've had aa fire, dear, and ii
was awful, ," she sobbed. But didn't
forget the tin box. I got it the very
first thing, and / haven't let it out
Of my hands since. It's such relief
TO know that one can be really calm
and collected IN the face Of great dan
ger, and IL then she broke down
completely.
s.But where is the box. asked her
husband.
The woman who had not lost her
presence of mind held it out TO him.
1t was the tin receptacle Of the car
pet sweeper.

him better, but he was SO suaye that
my own courtesies sounded blunt and
stiff. In short, he refused to let me
have the manor"

a flash of girlish petulance, which
gave an added loveliness to her oval
face. There ought to be a law made
to protect such beautiful old houses
from the eccentricities of landlords.
It is falling to pieces swith neglect, and
yet he will not let you have it. How

The man was rejoiced to hear her
speaking SO yehemently, and straight
way took his courage in both hands.
There is just one hope for me, Miss
Melville" said he, leaning forward in
his chair and lowering his voice a lit,
tie, ''but / fear it is rather a forlorn
one. Old Williams objects to me be-
cause [ am bachelor. If / will agree
to marry, and promise to give no noisy

cheeks, and all unconsciously she
gripped the lace that futtered above
her palpitating bosom.

to smooth telltale catch out of her

There was no mistaking his tender
meaning now. Though his words
were hoarse and broken, Cissie could
feel his fingers trembling conclusive
ly as they touched hers, and the color
returned to her face in a joyous
stream.
1t is a beautiful house, Cissie," he
went on, ready at the lightest sign to
clasp her in his arms. Don't lett

WINDOW DISPLAY.
Store Attracted Crowds by It's 'sFlurry'.
In the Money Market.

4
81 have seen a good many Of what
we cali money displays, said pro-
fessional window dresser, talking to
| a New Orleans es-Democrat man
about queer phases of his business,
sbut the majority of them were not
especially successful A mere win
dow full Of money will draw a crowd,
but unless it has some special feature
it won't make people talk, and is hard
" worth the risk and trouble involved
in getting it up. The most striking
and effective money decoration in my
own experience was one I arranged
several years ago for large northern
dry goods house. A good-sized, square
window was placed at my disposal,
and as beginning ] draped the in
terror with cotton cloth, over which
I had lightly glued one-dollar bills
in such way as to cover the entire
surface. By the time I concluded that
part of the work every inch of the in
terror surface was hidden by money,
and the use Of the cloth enabled me
to produce certain effect Of bulk and
mass which could never have accom-
plished if [ had simply attached the
bare bills to the wall. The next thing
+ did was to install four powerful cleo
fric fans, which I located just out of
sight behind the window casing. Two
were at the bottom and two were at
the top, and they were SO adjusted as
to create a series of violent cross cur
rents Of air when they got going to-
gether. All that then remained was
to dump in half bushelo or SO Of bank
notes, shut and lock the rear door and
turn on the current. The moment
the fans began to whirl the window
became the scene of miniature finan-
eial snowstorm and the air was literal
ly thick with money. It sWirled to
and fro like autumnal leaves in gale:
it rose and fell in fantastic eddies; it
pattered Like rain against the big
plate glass in front, and the effect was
indeseribablV curious and fascinating.
You see, there was nothing whatever
to the scheme except a plain, bare
window, lined with money and full
of more money, playing around like
mad, and the simplicity Of the idea
was the very thing that made it SO
strange and striking. We called the
display sA Furry in the Money Mar
ket, and it drew big crowds for two
weeks. I suppose you would natural
y infer that such a spectacle would
be very dangerous and apt to tempt
crooks to raid the window, but as a
matter of fact such was not the case.
I used altogether 81, 800 in one-dollar
bills, and three-fourths of the en-
tire number were attached to the cloth
employed IN the draperies. A thief
making a grab would have obtained
very little for his pains and risk. The
store employed only one extra officer
as a guard, and I doubt very much
whether there was any real need for
him. / have frequently dressed win
doWs that contained twice as much in
rare laees and costly bric-a-brac."
