Some Of the leading papers of Miss.
iSsippi are Q tspoken in tie opinion
that the prospective visit of President
RooSeV welt to that state, in accepta-
ton Of an invitation by Governor Lon
gino to shoe, bears, will be diStaSteful
to the people. If that is the case it
were better that the President take a
few Rough Riders along with him and
shoot lne people instead Of the bears.
A.4erica has no use for that sort of
Americans. The President of the
United States is entitled to respect,
whether a certain class Of people agree
with his views or not. Should the
representatives OF the President be
accorded that sort Of a reception at
the hands OF a foreign power serious
international difficulties won d imme.
diately follow. That SUCH an outrage
should occur within our own borders
is ten times more reprehensible.

THEY CALLED THE BIRDS.

But the Sportsmen Discovered They
Were Answering Each Other.
A well-known sportsman who has
recently been trying his luck with a
gun in neighboring state in which,
the "open season" has begun, tells a.,
story which illustrates the skill some
gunners acquire in the use Of the bird
whistle On this particular day in fall
the birds had not been flying we'll and
early morning were one by one leaving:
for their homes. On his way home over
the marshes one of them was on the
lookout for grass birds and when he
beheld flock about to alight he att
once crouched down in the tall grass
by the edge of creek and began call
ing. It happened that another gunner
who was about to give up his days
work heard the sharp and repeated
whistling of what he supposed were
grass birds, and, quickly raising his
gun, he, too, picked up his whistle and
began to call. First the man in the
tall grass would whistle, then the man
in the adjoining stand would answer,
and this was kept up for c long time,
until it got so dark that had the birds
flown. past either gunner. they could not
have seen them. Presently the gunner
who was crouching in the tall grass
ventured to rise and scan the Marshes
when to his surprise and chagrin b.

that he had been deceived by the oth<

COST OF A DOOR HANDLE.
Likely to lie High When One Wants


Something Unique.
The aesthetic person who desires q
unique door ;: handle for his favorite
room must pay for the privilege. For
ty, fifty, even seventy-tive dollars may
be- the cost of the first door handle
made after a new pattern. The metal
is worth perhaps only a few cents, but
the labor comes high. First, the ar
chitect draws the design, and submits
1t to the manufacturer that is to finish
the handle. He turns 1t over to his
modeler, who makes an exact pattern
OF the handle and lock in clay or p1as-
ter. Every line that is fiat in the de-
sign is raised in this pattern, and the
more elaborate and intricate the dec
Grafton the more difficult his work. The
pattern is then given to the man who
makes the mold or oftener several
molds Joined together, known as gates.
These are usually of plaster, and the
molten metal is poured Into them with
out in any way affecting the plaster.
When the metal is cool the handle is
taken out, "a thing of beauty and ex-
'pense for the architect, the pattern
maker, the matchmaker and the man
who pours in the metal must all be
paid for their work. The first door
handle only is thus costly. When the
mold is once made the price Of door

Savo.l from q Tlper.

Lopez, the trainer of the wild ami.
mails, was also an acrobat, and he had.
for some time, been teaching a bright
boy named Petro to perform with him
on the flying trapeze. One day, when
the circus was at little town In tho
interior of France, Lopez concluded to
let Petro appear for the first time in
public, and an hour or so before the
doors of the tent were to be opened,
ne took his pupil into the ring to give
him a little practice, so that he might
have the greater confidence. Petro had
gone through part of his work, and
was resting on the lower bar. Lopez

Lopez started, for he had seen the
tiger, loose and entering the tent: it

from its cage, and was creeping in,

angry. e"Petro!" cried Lopez, climb

for a moment. Then, however, he
came to himself, and scram biedT up the
rope just as the tiger sprung for him.
He reached Lopez above, but the tiger
struck the bar that he had just left.
and got entangled in the ropes. There
it swung to and fro for a moment.
when its attention was attracted: by a
cry from another part of the tent. This
cry was uttered by young girl, who
had seen the danger that threatened
the trainer and his pupil, and with
rare self-possession, had made up her
mind how to save them.
So she called to the tiger, and the
beast, seeing new prey, dropped from
the bar, and crept towards the girl.
She waited until it seemed about to
spring, and then she ran down one of
the passages, and entered a little cage
that had two compartments. The
tiger followed her, but before it could
get into the second compartment where
she was, she had closed the communi-
eating door, while one of the attend
ants closed the one by: which the tiger
had entered. The girl was Lopez's 12-
