No said the lion tanner to Pats ,
Flanagan, you can't have a job to
look after the animals: but or pc.
lion died last week. and we've kept
the skin. SO I'll give YOU two pounds
a week to dress I'D as tie lion"
Two pounds a week. echoed Elan
nigan. Coco gracious, is there SO
much old in the world Right, soor!''
So Patsy dressed up as the lion and
lay down in the cage. The menage
RE doors were opened and the per-
formance commenced. says London
Answers.
Ladies and Gentlemen" said the
keeper. to show the wonderful dociI-
ity of these animals, we will now
place the lion in the cage with the
tiger"
Man. are ye mad" said Patsy.
Think Of me wife and childreni"
&c in" said the keeper, "or I'll
run this pitchfork through you"
Patsy thought he might as well die
n way as another, So he crawled
into the tigers cage. and when he saw
the animals big. ~ferocious eyes fixed
on him he uttered a doIefuI wall and
commenced praying in Irish. The
tiger walked over TO him.
What's the mater wild ye?" said
he. "Shure man. We needn't be afraid

IN CAMPAIGN.
David Ii. Hill md Governor OdeiI
HurI Warm shots AT Each Other.

New York. October 22.-The state po-
litical campaign assumed a bitter as
spect today, through the endorsement
given by ex-senator Hill, OF allegations
published in a Schectady paper that
Governor Odell was interested In busl-
ness concerns that were profiting by
state contracts. The allegations were
repeated tonight by Senator Hill in his
speech at the Tammany Hail ratifica-
ton meeting.
Mr.. Hill said:
ut now appears that the raid upon
the charitable institutions of the state
made last winter by the OdelI admin
~istration was not only political. but
mercenary in its character. It's real
purpose was not merely to secure COM
plete control OF all the official positions
to be had in the various charitabl Die in
stftutions, but to control the purchase
of supplies therein"
Governor OGell. speaking tonight st
Syracuse, devoted considerable time 10
a denial and ~refutation OF the charges
He said that when he was elected Gov
ernor. he severed relations with on
Germs that might be even remotely ben
Gifted by the state contracts, and that
he had console ntiously refrained from
saying or DOR anything that might
be construed a tending TO help his for
mer business associates. The govern
or also reviewe and denounced the DO
htical career OF Mr.. Hill and concludA
with a bitter PERSONAL attack upon the
ex-senator, TO gghom he alluded as "a
man who has never known the love OF
woman. who has never heard the prattie
of innocent children In his home. and
who would sacrifice his best friends to-
his ambitions"

a aagnap. He opened the switch after
two trains a passed and then the
third train dashed into it. When the
