ZION AGAINST TIGER.
Greater Bravery Shown By the
Smaller Animal.

The owner of a one-ring circus trav-
cling through the West this summer
found himself in sore straits through
the death of much advertised lion
which was the star attraction of the
show. With a fertility born of ne
cessity he advertised in the nearby
papers for brave man." A good,
strapping Irisnman applied for the po-
sition.
"My pet lion has just died" said the
Snowman, "and | will give you 80

skin and go through his tricks. All

cash money" The Irishman readily
assented to the proposition and being
of bright wit and intelligence soon
learned all that was required of him,
The first afternoon of the show he
went through the PAGES well, enclosed
in a large iron cage and occasionally
emitting roar to startle the guilelesS
countrymen. In the evening the man
ager thought he would cap the climax
bv announcing to the audience that lie
would place the lion in the tigers
cage. On hearing this the son of Erin
was terrified beyond comprehension.
However, with trembling steps he went
into the tigers cage. but at once crept
up into a corner, praying to hlmset.

the postmaster, an Irishman and
bachelor, who kept the toll house be-
tween Idaho City and the adjoining
mountain towns.
MY cabin was about two miles
to the East, directly among the
mountains. The snow which had
been falling at intervals for several
months, lay about 10 feet on a level
around my cabin, and my only
method of travel was by snow shoes.
Il had made my tri-weekly run to
see if the stage had brought any let
tcrs to the toll house for me; and
while adjusting my snow shoes, pre-
paratory to starting back, l heard

steer, which had separated himself
from the herd which had lately
passed toward the town, was angrily
shaking his head at me about 100
feet distant He had run past the
house from the road up the little
shaight path which Pat had kept
open to his spring, and after drink
ing and turning around, had become
bewildered, the snow being at least
eight feet deep on either side Of the

This was my direct route home, and

snow, he could not have pursued me,

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
II You Have an Axe, You May Not

To get lost in the woods Is not an
uncommon occurrence. and what to do
under the circumstances is so well told
by Horace Kephart in "Field and
Stream that readers fond of camping
and woodcraft will be interested:

when he realizes that he has lost his
bearings in Il wild country is to stop
and sit down. Don't take one more
step until YOU have recovered your wits

since leaving the camp, and mark on it
the estimated location of such water
courses and other landmarks as you
have passed. Then make up your mind
that if You must stay out all night,
alone in the woods. it is no killing
matter. but likely an interesting ad-
venture. Having recovered your men

have good reason to return to it.

this will be difficult. IF you can risk

Americans Going to Mexico.

During the last two years over 1,5OO
immigrants from Okla homa and other
parts Of the Southwest have located
in the single State of Tamaulipas,
Mexico. They have made a settlement
known as the Raylock Colony, just
west of Escandon on the Gulf Rail
way, and have buAt churches, school
houses and stores, and enjoy the
fullest liberty of action. SO it seems
that Americans are crossing the
southern boundary as they are the

'CIGARETS, OR WE
PERISH, GOVERNOR
Orientals and Indians In Circus
Touring Indiana Appeal from
Anti Cigaret Law.
New York Sun Special Service.

Shelbyville, Ind, Aug. 18.-There was
CONSERVATION in the camp of the for
eigners and Indians with a circus here
yesterday over the order of the owner
that the men and women should comply
with the Indiana cigaret law and cease
smoking while in the state. Many of
the men are under contract to remain
with the circus until the close Of the
season.
So desperate are some of them for
their -cigarets that they threaten to
Jump their contracts and go to other
states where they can be free to smoke
anything they please.
A meeting was held and speeches
were made protesting against the law.
Finally twas decided to make a direct
appeal to Governor Hanly, ard the fol
lowing message was sent:
"Governor J. Frank Hanly, 1ndianap-
oils: The Turks, Egyptians, Japanese,
Hindoos and Indians with a circus
here have been deprived of cigarets.
What shall we do9 We ask projection.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon they
were standing around in groups await
ing the governors answer. Last night
another meeting was held and as the
owner Of the show insists that the laws
of Indiana shall not be violated the
foreigners served formal notice on him
thru their interpreter, Iron Bird, that
unless they are permitted to smoke
cigarets, they would quit the show so
long as it remains in Indiana.
Governor Hanly has made no reply to
their request for protection in their pur-
suit of happiness.
