in the Locust street den that would be far
more Interesting to the public than the ones
they are permitted 10 see.
Every day Manager D'Osta, his wife.
known as Princess Delawa.r. and Train
ers Lawrence and Briggs enter the iron
inc'osed arena: or the cages. and endanger
their lives in an attempt to teach or
break the lions.
The Princess is just now engaged in train
ing a cageful of South American jasuars,
Very ferocious little beasts that have been
known to kill lions when placed in the same
cage with them.
D'Osta is himself training seven lions in
a new act of balancing and see-sawing.
This is a difficult job. as only four of the
beasts he is using are trained.
The act was formerly done by five ami
male, but SultIna has been reieGated on ac-
count of her trouble-making propensities.
Three lions must be taught to work with
the experienced four.
Every time he enters this arena D'Osta
is in danger Of losing his life, as the work
must be done with the animals perfectly
free from leash or muzzle.
ONE OF THE FIERCEST
ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY.
Among the BoStock-Ferar animals is one
of the flercest lions in Ca ptivity.
So vicious is he that male trainers have
given him up as impossible.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-01-04

Princess Delaware took nvru of him five
years ago and now. while no one else dares
enter the cage with him. he will follow her
about like e dog. licking her hand and
showing other signs of affection.
But even as this fierce beast has learned
to love the woman who has subjugated him,
so he learned jealousy at the same time.
When she is in his cage. he will lie down
at her feet and purr away contentedly like
a great cat.
But when she is IN another cage. he PAGES
his; own. lashes his sides angrily with his
tail. and emits low. rumbiing growfs,
Princess Delawarr admits that she is
somewhat afraid of him and has to watch
him closely all the time she is with him.
She is in the peculiar position of being
loved by a lion, and she says that she would
rather not be the object of this strange az
fection. The animal is physically a perfect
lion That he feels his superiority is plain
ly evident.
Much of the time, he Is kept apart from
the other lions. but on some occasions it is
necessary to place them all in one arena
for exhibition purposes.
1t is here that Princes jealousy manifests
itself in its worst form.
Should his trainer pay the least atten-
ton TO any of the other lions in the way
of a caress, he makes threatening moves
and growls in an ugly manner.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-01-04

The entrance to the den is through a
small, narrow door.
The cages are ranged about in a circle,
with the iror-bound arena in the farther
side. and Il great etove in the center.
This stove is constantly kept roaring in
order TO keep the air at summer heat and
prevent moisture.
From the ceiling hangs a single electric
light that dimly illuminates the place.
In this quiet. ou;-of-the-way place, with
nobody but their keepers about, the lions
enjoy a vacation.
They are mostly content to lie on their
comfortable beds of straw, without max
ing any noisy demonstrations. but when
they do begin to roar the noise is deafen-
inS.
And the big beasts have amusements of
| their own. declare the Keepers. that they
enjoy almost as much as human beings.
The mascot of the menagerie is a small
| white billy goat that is allowed to roam at
| will about the den.
His name is Don Quixote.'' which cogno-
! men was given to him on account of his
heroism in tackling anything that annoys
| him.
The erratic Spanish knight of whom Ger
! vantes wrote so enter tainingly never at
tackled a windmill with greater honesty Of
| purpose or with stronger determination than
does this goat go after imaginary foes.
1t seems that Don has taken a particular
dislike to the stove, and spends a great deal
Of his time in trying to butt it over with
his horns.
HE whiskers and his forehead have been
badly scorched in this red-hot crusade.
Yet he does not despair of some day put

TRAINER D'OSTA SAYS
THE BEASTS ARE COWARDLY.
Manager D'osta presides over the den.
He is now engaged in training seven OF
the big fellows for a new act.
He has studied lions for a quarter Of a
century.

Notwithstanding his great strength, he
is weak in many ways.
The least change of diet from fresh raw
meat will make him ill, and the slightest
draft of cold air will give him a cold that
often proves fatal.
His lungs are very weak as regards eX-
posture. and he gets sick very quickly, l
can assure you.
, He is q nervous beast.
"A big fellow like Prince here is more
nervous than a woman.
Lions are nearly always pacing up and
! down their cages.
That is a proof of their fright.
THE nobility of the lion lies in his cour-
! age, but to say that he fears nothing is
story-book talk.
"He fears man. and if he did not one
would never enter his cage and leave 1t
alive.
But a lion will not attack you without

THESE COLLEGE GIRLS
SELL HEALTH BREAD.

Two Radcliffe College girls. believing that
college women who want to work should
relieve the overdrugscd market of teachers
by taking up trades. are running a scientific
bakery with success in Cambridge. Mass.
The proprietors of the business are Miss
Stevenson of South Carolina and Miss Elliot
of Toronto. specialists in the chemistry OF
cooking.
They make. bake and sell their scientific
bread in a shop consisting of a kitchen, and
salesroom in the building of the Young
Mems Christian Association. and all Cam
bridge is nockirg there these days FOR the
staff of life.
The idea of perfecting bread and making
the art a business and the business an art
originated with Miss Stevenson. who be-
lieved there was Il demand for a better
quality of bread than can be made at home
or bought at the ordinary bakeries. and
also that there was q field for women III
that line of work.
wondering If she should make the business
venture instead of becoming a teacher of
chemistry as applied to food. as she had
intended. she came to know another young
chemist. Miss Elliot. whom she SO inter-
ested in Ter practical ideas that the two
agreed to open a bakery and make the ex-
pertinent in scientific bread from their own
recipes.
Cambridge was chosen as the field of ac-
ton, because of their extensive acquaint-
ance there, ard the fact that its proximity
to Boston gave them a wide opportunity to
develop their business.
AS Disciples of william Morris these
young women have made their salesroom as
artistic and attractive as possible. and have
adorned the walls with pictures of the
great craftsman and Of Tolstoi. numerous
framed quotations from whose works are
displayed.

and the interest of the visitor is. divided be-

IBID yo, know there was Il den of thirty
two man-eating lions in the heart Of st.
Louis?
Should you happen to he in the neigh
borhood of the old Missouri car sheds, on
the northeast corner of Leonard avenue
and Locust street. do not fear if you hear
the roaring. snarling and crashing Of teeth
of the king of beasts in the wee sma' hours.
The animals are securely Gagged behind
iron bars.
No matter how anxious they are to get at

only dash themselves against the gratiass
that restrain them.

Ed. J. Bobleter, who recently opened
an insurance office and collection
agency in the city, has decided to take
up real estate. Thus far Mr.. Bobleter
has been very successful with his in
surance business and on June 1st, in
conjunction with County Auditor L.
G. Vogel, will inaugurate the new
branch. They purpose handling farm
property in Brown, Nicollet, Blue

and will deal extensively in New Ulm

not be said to be overcrowded in New

Gently ordered by Brigadier General
Joseph Bobleter.
Saturday nights election will be held
in Company AS armory at s o'clock
and General Bobleter will preside in
person. Officers have been ordered to
wear their fatigue uniforms, without
sidearms, and it is expected that near
ly all will be on hand.
Those present will first ballot upon
a colonel, to succeed Gen. Bobleter,
promoted. Major T. W. Wright of
Austin, commanding the first battalion,
is slated for this position and will not
have opposition. Lieut.. Col. G. w.
Mead of Mankato, whose terLI has ex-
pired, aspires to succeed himself, but
he will have an opponent in the person
of Major Geo. S. Whitney of Fari-
bault. The latter is an exceedingly
popular officer and the chances of his
election are bright.
Major F. B. Wood of Austin, will
be advanced to senior major and there
promises to be a warm contest over
filling the two vacancies in battalion
commanders. For these positions there
are a number of candidates, the most
prominent being Capt. John Buschers
of this city; Capt. A. G. Chase, Fari-
bault; Capt. Anton Schatfer, Ovation
ma, and Lieut.. Fl. 7. Bulls, judge ad-
vocate, Winnebago City.
Of all the candidates Capt. Buschers
would seem to be the most entitled to
preferment. He is the ranking line
officer Of the regiment and as such
should be entitled to promotion. Capt.
Buschers' militia record is long and
honorable, he having served in the
state guard continuously for the past
seventeen years. Enlisting as pri-
vate in co. A on June 10, 1886, he
perfected himself in the duties of a
soldier and ON April 20, 1888, was
made corporal.
June 4, 1889, he left the ranks to be-
come second lieutenant and Jan. "A,
1894, was advanced to the next grade.
During the time he was a first lieuten-
ant the war with Spain broke out and
his company was mustered into the
service of the United States with the
Twelfth Minnesota, but upon the reor-
ganization of the regiment early in
1899 he was elected captain, his COM

that time he has comm anded Co. A

FUND IS RESPECTABLE
Public Library Now in Very Fair Condition
~ 4 Financially. a T..
Response From People in Way of Sub
@v scriptions Has Been Liberal. r.
Ladies of Current News Club Present
Board With Sum of $50.

An adjourned meeting of the library
board was held in the office of Hoidale
& Somsen Saturday night for the pur-
pose of listening to the report of the
committee appointed to solicit SUBJ
scriptions to keep the library open,
and it was found when that committee
reported that there was enough money
in sight to warrant the board in say
ing that on the first of the month the
library would again be open to the
public. More than this the interest in
it has SO increased and been SO mani
fest that there is now assurance that
new books will be added to the collec-
tion and the library improved.
While the board was in session the
ladies of the Current News Club tele-
phoned from Mrs. Peterson's that they
would like to see committee from the
library board and accordingly such
committee reported to them and was
agreeably surprised when it was in
formed that the ladies would bepleased
to turn over to the library $50. This
is the second time this club has con-
tributed to the library and this gener-
osity has been the mainstay of the
organization for the past year.
Under the new financial arrangement
the funds of the libra will be in bet
ter shape hereafter and debts will as
far as possible be avoided. It was
decided to ask the city to donate the
light for the library rooms, and as
there is such a small amount con-
sumed it is anticipated that there will
be no trouble in this. ~
Below is given the list of those who
have contributed to the fund and there
are more whom the committee has not
seen. In getting these one-dollar sub
scriptions it is necessa ary to see a
large number of people and the COM
mittee has only about half covered
