oughly out Of keeping was his costume
with the conventional evening attire Of

velvet coat that looked exactly like q
smoking jacket, velvet vest to match
and flaming red necktie. Such a
garb was In reality an affront and an
impertinence to that fashionably clad
assemblage. But 1t was overlooked as
an eccentricity Of genius, and much
applause attended the rendition.

An incident at the Porte st. Martin
the annals of the show business. The
chief feature of the exhibition was O
turn" consisting of the casting Of a
young woman securely bound into a
cage of lions heralded as being the
fiercest and most bloodthirsty of man
eaters.
The woman who had the part of the
victim was taken Ill, and a substitute
was found In the wife of one of the
trainers, herself a trainer of some ex-
perience, but without any acquaintance
with these particular six lions. As she
was somewhat nervous she carried Il
small club ready for use should occa-
sion arise.
Amid the breathless silence of the
spectators the ringmaster explained
the ferocious nature of the lions and
the terrible risk of the woman, and
she was thrust In at the cage door.
In the excitement of the occasion the
door was not securely shut after her.
No sooner was she fairly inside than
the six monarchs of the jungle, seeing
that strange person had been forced
upon them, raised a chorus of shudder-
ing terror, bolted for the cage door,
clawed it open and with dragging tails
and cringing tanks fed out through
a rear entrance and found refuge In a
cellar, whence they were dislodged on
ly after great difficulty.
1t was a week before the "ferocious
man eaters" were sufficiently recover
ed from their terrors to reappear In
public -McClure's Magazine.

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fa sal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doctors
and health authorities this season by
its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody it is
proving especially dangerous to middle
aged and elderly persons. In many
cases either fatal onset of pneumonia,
or complete breakdown of health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack of
grip.
The wise course for all it's prevention.
By wearing Benson's Porous Plastsr on
the chest and back you protect the
lungs from cold and chill and with
ordinary care) you are safe from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter
coughs and and colds, Benson's Plastsrs
are q sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.
Only the genuine are effective. Ex
