THE ORIGINAL LION Tanner
Continued from page II

the person of the lecturer" who is still to
be found in wild animal shows of the present
day He is the brass buttoned, brass lunged
parsonage who describes the different exhibits
to spectators with a great deal of truth inter
woven with great deal of romance, and much
noise. His speech usually begins lover this
way Over this wayl Hip, hip!' and he rattles
his cane against the bars of a cage to excite the
animals. Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you
will kindly give me your eyes and ears tor
moment, | will take great pleasure in directing
your attention to one of the most remarkable
ferocious, and untamable carnivora in the UNI
verse. This animal has killed two trainers,
manned three keepers for life, and attacked his
present intrepid master, whose marvellous
bravery and control over this savage denizen
of the trackless forests will shortly be evidenced
in yonder iron barred arena during the regular
evening exhibition etc, dd infnttnm
Wombwell's lecturer split up public atten-
ton with the Brobdignagian Brass Band. The
show began with a musical number. after
which an exhibit was described. This pro-
gram continued alternately until the piece of
resistance, which was Wombwell in the lion 5
cage, came as the climax of the performance. OF
course this was the lecturers supreme moment,
for which he reserved his biggest adJectiveS
and best rounded sentences. BY frequent repe-
tition he learned the most fitting words and
the most startling ClimaCteric phrases until
finally. when Wombwell was prepared to enter
London The Only Lion Tanner in the
World" his lecturer had at the tongues tip a
melodramatic address which really gave de-
cided dramatic value to the act.
Wombwell stayed in London for full year.
and made the proverbial barrel of money In
deed, he cleared so important fortune that
when he next took to the road his wagons were
twenty feet long, seven feet high, and seven
feet wide He himself travelled in caravel the
interior of which was rough forerunner of the
present private car. His wagons formed an
impressive procession. and to this day his
descendants are touring Great Britain with a
wild animal show which still follows the general
plans conceived by the only original lion tanner.

no affection for men, so he determined to
effect by main force what kindness failed to
accomplish.
Catching the brute's legs in rope nooses. he
made the animal fast to the bars. Then he
entered the cage with chair and sat just in
side the door, through which he could beat
lightning retreat in case of necessity In one
hand he carried an iron bar and a revolver
loaded with blank cartridges; in the other he
held a short handled whip with a singing
lash Whenever the beast made a hostile
attempt, Wombwe would snap him on the
point of the nose, which is the most vulnerable
part OF a lions anatomy, and, if this proved
Ineffective, he would give him a dose of the
iron bar or fire the singing powder from the
cartridges into the brute's nostrils. After a
month of heroic treatment the lion appre-
ciated the superiority of man and was properly
cowed.
When Wombwell realized that he had con-
quered the animal, he released him by degrees,
leg at a time, until finally he entered the cage
one day, chair in hand, with the beast abso-
lutey free. He stood at the door for five min
utes, speaking alternately in sharp and ca joling
tones. Then he sat down carefully with gun
and iron bar pointed to the animals noSe-and
nothing happened. The brute was mastered
palpably afraid, and skunk against side of
the cage. while Wombwell reached over and
gently scratched the rough coat of fur with his
whip stock. The man remained in the cage for
fifteen minutes, and then backed out slammine
the door behind him. AS the bolt shot into
place, the brute seemed to regain his courage,
regret that he had not overcome his tanner, and
leaping against the locked door roared with
furious anger. This made splendid finish for
Wombwell's act. supplying the exciting touch
and psychological shiver necessary to a sensa-
tional climax.
The trial had occurred in private 1t was
satisfactory to Wombwell, and he was now
ready to make good in public. Beginning in
the suburbs of London, he advertised himself

him. That same night poor Brendon was

The Rev. E: s. Roberts, master of Con

cellor of Cambridge. said
There has been no united effort OF the
pulpit to break down the spirit of the
people who are led TO believe that war at
times is justifiable. The demon of war
must be exercised in time of peace.
Common effort on the part of all min
listers should be turned to this subject. and
one day at least once year should be
set aside for this effort"
DR.. Felix Adler, head of the New York

In the curriculum of nations; that 1t was
the one thing more than any other which
kept back the advance of civilization.
Miss Jane Adams of Hull House Chica-
go, said 1t was ignorance that originally
caused war. and it was in the spread Of
knowledge and the acquaintance between
countries that would end war.
Edwin d. Mead of Boston, director of the
Old South historical work, spoke briefly.
Labor Meeting.
James Duncan. first vice president Of the
American Federation OF Labor who was to
have presided at the meeting In Cooper
Union, was unable to be present. and Jo-
seph r. Buchanan introduced the speakers
who included Terence V. Powderly. The
meeting, which had for its general topic
organized Labor in Relation TO the Peace
Movement, was enthusiastic, Mr.. Powder
ly, among other things said:
1T is fitting that labor's voice should be
raised for peace. l think labor and capital
nave provided the way. 1t was not
dreamed a few years ago that labor and
capital would shake hands. Today we may
meet, clasp hands and be friends and this
has come through the leadership of Samuel
Gompers."
Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, said, In part:
To-day the white flag no longer indicates
a yellow streak, and II requires courage for
a man to say Peace instead of War Now
1t Is written down that the man who fights

the American conscience will demand that
