that there was little doubt as to the
result.

fNllNlN NNolAN OAhNl fNAuaNAtuNo Dah1 Alul1
Will Be Exhibited,
Have you ever seen and fondled a
baby lion? Well, probably not for
in their native forest the savage moth
er instantly kills anyone who comes
near her young, and is willing and
ready at all times to defend them with
her life.
In the great trained wild animal
show of the Gaskill-Mundy-Levitt
Carnival company, which comes to the
Burlington Fall Festival the week OF
August 81 TO September ;, there is a
pair of the prettiest, fuzziest little
cubs you ever saw, which are the or
spring of Spitfre, the untamable lion
ess. There we're three, but she killed
one and would have likewise slain the
other two had not Capt Dyer, who has
charge of the show, taken them away
from her in the nick of time. The lit
tie lions have been reared on milk
from a nursing bottle since, and are
the cutest of little pets.
They are just like fat, overgrown
kittens and as playful as can be. OF
course, they are wonderfully strong
for their size and sometimes, young as
they are, they snarl just like big lions
when handled roughly. They please
the ladies and delight the children
wherever they are seen, and will no
doubt prove the center of attraction
when the show reaches Burlington.

"EBEN HOLDEN"
An Attraction Booked for the Opera House in
the Near Future.

the Near Future.
One day somebody told Irving Bach
eller he had book-making talent con-
cealed about him. He dug down into
his old trunk and fished out his thirty
thousand word story, which, by the
way, was then called "Uncle Eb, :" and
after reading it agreed with his friend.
Then he added sixty thousand words to
the story thathad so unanimously been
sat upon, sneered at, and returned
with thanks" and sent it to Boston
publisher.
Since then ''Eben Holden" has been
selling like hot cakes. The book has
been too widely read to need the de-
failing of its plot, which deals partic-
ularly with the quaint sweet character
of Uncle Eb, and his attachment for
his adopted boy, William, and his in
terest in Williams love for the pretty
Hope Brewer.
1t is a story that has charmed every
reader, and little does one think, when
reading the now popular novel, how
narrowly he escaped never having sIch
delightful story in print
