WORK Of LION tanner.
Trainers Risk Their Lives in Teaching
Animals to Perform.

The lion trainer who risks his life
in some trick does not receive the APP
plause to which his work entities him.
The public has become so accustomed
to witnessing these daring exploits
that the danger to the trainer is dis
counted by the frequency with which
these performances are given. The
trainer is in peril every time he un-
dertakes to make the lions perform
How often trainer has been injured
or MANNED teaching lions to under
stand and perform some especially
difficult trick the public never knows.
There is scarcely one trainer who is
not SCARED in a dozen places. 1t is
the satisfaction of having succeeded
in some difficult task which is recon-
pense for the trainer-the same kind
of satisfaction that sculptor or paint
er finds after months of efforts in
completing a work of art admired by
connoisseurs, life's effort, as it were
The man who never missed a certain
lion act because, he said, some day the
trainer would be eaten alive and he
was going to be on hand when the
feast of the lions took place would
have another opportunity to indulge
his craving were he to witness the
performance of Major Crawford of Col.
Mundy's White City Wild Animal
Arena, especially that feature of his
act where he feeds lion with piece
of meat which he holds between his
teeth-a tug-of-war between the man
and beast for the coveted titbit. The
trainer permits the lion to take hold
OF one end of a strip of tough meat
and he places the other end in his
mouth. They pull against each other,
swaying backward and forward. Each
time the trainer moves forward the
lion takes firmer and shorter hold.

Orchard Ends Cory Tale.
Boise, Idaho. Harry Orchard
crowned his admissions of grave
crimes Thursday when, continuing his
testimony against William d. Hay
wood, he made an explicitly detailed
confession of the murder of Frank
Steunenberg by an Internal machine
that directly opens the way for his
own conviction and execution.
He swore that the assassination OF
Steunenberg was first suggested by
Haywood, was jointly plotted by Hay
wood, Meyer, Pettibone and himself,
was financed by Haywood and was ex-
ecuted by himself after the failure OF
an attempt in which Jack Simpkins
had participated.
Orchard lifted the total of his own
murdered victims to IS, and detailed
the circumstances under which he
tried to murder former Gov. Peabody,
Judge Goddard, Judge Gabbert, Gen.
Sherman Bell, Dave Moffat and Frank
Herne. Incidentally, he confessed to
a plan to kidnap the child of one of
his former associates.
Under cross-examination by the de-
tense Orchard confessed guilt of the
sordid social crimes of deserving his

DIVERSITY IN SLEEVES.
As In the Case of Skirts, There Are
All Sorts and Con-
ditions.

There is wide diversity in the treat
ment of fashionable sleeves; in fact,
1T is a question whether or not they
are more varied than skirts, for the
best models among the latter are linn
tied to six or seven styles. Not so
with sleeves, however, which are as
numerous in shape and design almost
as the patterns Of lace which adorn
them. The open bell sleeve is a
favorite model for dressy tailored
suits, especially as designed for fore
noon wear The opening is usually
bound with embroidery, lace or braid
and underneath appears the sleeve of
the blouse or guimpe.
One of thevery smartest Of the new

the outer sleeve being formed of rows

of many Of the new sleeves on French
frocks and makes a charmingly chic
effect.

tailor-mades are so designed that they

are sufficiently cool and dust-resisting
to make them a reliable fabric for
spring and summer, while their cost Is
by no means eXtravagant. A gown in
black and white striped panama ex-

week was sufficiently striking to be

models for especial admiration. The

Around the bottom of the skirt in

INTERESTING POINTS OF

up of the (Vindicator) mine was
a fine piece of work. Meyer
gave me $500 and Haywood paid
me $500 for blowing up the
mine.
Haywood and Meyer both told

think of-to get some of the
soldiers If possible.
Meyer and Pettibone wanted
to know If l could not work up
some scheme to assassinate
Governor Peabody of Colorado.
Haywood thought Steve
Adams was the best man for
the work. Pettibone gave us
some sawed-off shotguns and
shells loaded with buckshot.
We kept after Peabody for three
weeks, when Haywood told me
to lay off for awhile.
Haywood, Pettibone and Simp-
kins then wanted something
pulled off at Cripple Creek. We
planned to- blow up the Inde-
pendence depot. The depot was
wrecked and twelve or fourteen
men killed. The next day Pet
tibone gave me $500. Adams
told me he got 5000.

amusement when Attorney Richardson
began his onslaught and brought out
Orchards domestic crimes.

Orchards Story Unshaken.
Boise, Idaho.-Counsel for William
ID. Haywood continued their attack on
the testimony of Harry Orchard at
both sessions of the trial Friday, and
conferred their strongest assault on the
events beginning with the explosion
in the indicator mine and ending
with the earlier meetings between
the witness and the leaders of the
Federation Of Miners in Denver. To
the extent that traffic with the other
side" in the war of labor and capital
in Colorado was discreditable they
succeeded in discrediting the witness.
Orchard stood the test and strain
very we'll and held tenaciously to the
story he related Wednesday and
Thursday.
More crimes, great and small. were
added to Orchards record Friday. The
Cripple Creek woman with whom he
committed bigamy had three sons;

Clings to His Story.
The defense endeavored in various
ways to throw the shadow of doubt
and improbability around the whole
indicator story and the alleged con-
nection of w. F. Davis and William
Easterly with this affair and the cir
cumstances under which Orchard tes-
titled he met Meyer and Haywood and
was paid for the commission of the
crime, and to discredit Orchards story
that he was sent back to Cripple
Creek with unlimited credit and orders
to commit any act Of violence that he
cared to. They confronted Orchard
with Easterly and Owney Barnes and
paved the way for the contradiction
by them of the story told by Orchard,
and several times during the day paved
the way for the controverting of his
testimony on material points.

To teach in the schools something of
the life histories of weedy plants is as
necessary to a practical education, in
this country, as to teach the beauty OF
the rose and carnation for aesthetic
culture and artistic discrimination.
One advantage of making a school
study of weeds, especially in early au-
tumn, is that the laboratory material
for this purpose may be had for moth
ing, in abundance, and usually in bet
ter condition than the material of any
collections preserved indoors.
The outdoors laboratory is superior
for the purposes of nature work to any
other supplies that mere money and
effo.t can procure.
" gc out anC use this material so
freely proffered by nature herself is
more conducive to the health and good
spirits of both teachers and pupils
than to remain always indoors during
the fine autumn weather.

making trips afield is really gained
through the zest which they impart to
school lessons.
