TEMPERANCE ADVOCATES.
Lions and Tigers Resent the Use OF
lntoxicants.

Most persons would scarcely class
lions, tigers, jaguars, and the rest CT
the largest and fiercest members of
the cat family as temperance advocates
or reformers,'' observed the man who
had spent years as an animal trainer.
yet these animals seem to have a
strong ard inherent feeling against the
use of liquor. aid they make this feel
ing manifest in a curious way.
"Ot course the life which the trainer
of Wild animals lives is a good deal of
a strain on a mans nerves, and he is
often tempted to take little stimu-
liant. But suppose he takes a little too
much and then comes near his fierce
charges? Every lion and tiger instant
ly is aware of the mans condition.
They stare at him in a manner which
indicates curiosity, and contempt rath-
err than curiosity. Instinctively they APP
pear to know that the man, the being of
higher order than themselves, has de-
graded himself below their level.
mo matter how well trained they
may be, the big cats will refuse obedi-
ence to a trainer who is in the leafs
degree under the influence of liquor.
In fact, il is not necessary for him. to
be in an actual state Of intoxication;
the animals will appreciate that he is
not in a normal condition when ii is
scarcely perceptible TO human 0bserv-
ers.
ut isn't often that an animal train
er will make a mistake of this sort;
he knows too we'll the risk he is run
ming. But when one does, there is only
one thing to be done-that is, to get
him away from the animals as quickly
as possible Otherwise a bad accident,
perhaps a fatal one, is certain. And
tire is another curious feature in
cases of this sort. The animals seem
to remember, sometimes for years,
that they have seen their trainer, the
man whom they were accustomed to
respect and obey, in a degraded con-
dition. The result is that they will
often refuse to obey him any longer. 1
have known cases where it was neces-
sary for a trainer to leave a show be-
cause his lions or tigers had once seen
him under the influence of liquor. His
usefulness as a trainer with those an
imals was gone forever"

reasonable fortitude. In time of wa.
Hobson proved himself to be brave to
the point of rashness. In time of
peace. he exploited his bravery until
he made the people sorry. For the
people really greatly preferred to like
selfishness of human nature in that
preference. When one has constructed
an idol and has burnt incense before
the same, it is a highly unwelcome dis
covery to find that the idol is of very
common clay.
When Hobson wrote a long winded
account of his Santiago adventure for
one of the magazines. and spread the
story out so thin that it ran through
several numbers-and was withal so
ready to admit his own heroism-peo-
pie began to yawn. When he started
on his grand kissing tour of the coun-
try, he made people tired. "Hobson

worthy ambition to give the young man
a further chance to recover his lost
position in the public estimation, sent
him to Santiago to figure on raising
some of the sunken Spanish warships,
and thereafter he was sent to Manila
to supervise the raising of the more
valuable ships sunk by Dewey, He did
good service as always, but seemed to

on the ground of failing oversight.
The retiring board decided that his
ailment did not warrant his retirement,
and he pettishly resigned.
His pleasing popularity, which had
been borne in upon him in his tours of
the country, doubtless seemed to open
to him great and honorable career
in politics. Pending a chance to get
into the political game, he went On
the lecture platform, and he talked
here in Phoenix. He was generally
voted failure. He was so extravagant
in advocating huge navy, the greatest
navy the world ever saw-was it
navy costing two billions and half?
that some people were inclined to
vote him an ass.
But Hobson is not an ass. He Is,
simply, a young man who had great
future in the navy and permitted him.

Another Hero of the Missouri.

So many heroic acts We're performed
Immediately after the explosion on the
battIeship Missouri that it may be diff
cult, finally, to determine who of the
survivors is entitled to greatest honor.
But for at least one of the dead there
will be a place in history. When the
first explosion occurred, and there was
mad rush of the gunners from the
fatal turret, Lieutenant Davidson, com
mander of the turret stood aside to let

death that others may live, is the hero

VIII Hearst and Bryan Bolt ?

considerable proportions from the ma
! tional democratic convention. The
nomination of Alton B. Parker of New
York appears at this time to be so
nearly a certainty that it has become
an interesting thing, all at once, TO
know what Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Hearst and
their followers will do when Parker IS
nominated. And certainly it seems
safe to prophesy a bolt by the extreme
! Bryan Hearst wing.
| For some time Mr.. Bryan has been
ominously silent when asked whether
he would support Parker after Par
ker's nomination, and what Mr.. Hearst
will do can be best arrived at by not
ing what he is doing now. And M
Hearst is organizing a bolt wherever
he can make a showing. Take New
Jersey, for example. In the New Jer-
sey state convention there were l.
100 delegates, and of this number a
scant hundred were for Hearst. And
yet this hundred, as soon as the ice
wagon had passed, marched out of the
hall, organized a second convention
although not more than half the coun-
ties were represented by anybody
and proceeded to elect a contesting
delegation to st. Louis. 1t is report
ed to be the intention of the Hearst.
managers to follow these tactics ev-
erywhere. Then, if the nomination
cannot be controlled, there will be a
bolt from the national convention, a
great cutlery that numerous Hearst
delegations have been excluded by the
bosses of the democratic party, Mr..
Hearst will be nominated by the radi-
icals, and his platform will set up that
he was deprived of the nomination and
resentation, by the big convention. 1t
will be urged that the main tent holds
an aggregation of takers, and that the
real thing is to be seen in the side
show.
The closest observers Of Mr.. Bry-
ans movements and sayings long ago
reached the conclusion that he would
never support for president any man
whose nomination he could not dictate
and that he would view with alarm the
possibility of any other democrat
reaching the White House Immediate
ly after he had failed twice in success
sion to gain the goal. Therefore, it is
argued the nomination of Hearst by
boiling conv ention would satisfy and
gratify Mr.. Bryan in two important
respects: He would be one of the CEN
traI figures in another presidential
campaign, and his vanity would get
nourishing food; he would make i'm
possible the election of any other
democrat, and would thereby get his
revenge on the democracy fer it's ready
turning from his leadership.

rant the expectation that democratic
politics this summer will be funnier
