WILD MAN WORE CORSET
FOR MOSQUITO PROTECTION

KEARNEY, n. j., July 17-(Spe-
ciaD-A wild man." who has been
terrorizing residents of this section
for many months, was captured by
Special Officer Cuthbert on the Kear-
ney meadows last night
Cuthbert's wife and children, with
others, saw the man come from the
meadows yesterday. He made dash
at the party, whose screams drove
the fellow back into the swamp grass.
A posse was organized, and after a
hunt of several hours Cuthbert came
across him in the swamp and he
grappled with him.
The fellow was too powerful for the
officer and was getting the advantage
when another officer arrived with a
club, at the sight of which the wild
man" submitted.
One thousand people followed the
officers and their prisoner to the po-
lice station His clothing was rag
ged and dirty and his hair fell down
on his shoulders, and he wore a
heavy long black beard.
1t was found that he wore corsets.
He told Recorder Kelly that he wore
them to protect him from mosquitoes.
He gave his name as Robert O'Brien,
As years old, and said he formerly
lived in Providence.

TIGER FIERCELY
ATTACKS TRAINER
Blank Cartridges Finally
Subdued Beast.

NEW YORK, July 17.-(SpeciaD-
Prof Heinrich Falkenborth, a Ger
man animal trainer, whose specially
is an act in which four vicious tigers
and six less vicious lions take part,
was badly injured when he was at
tackled by Moki, the fiercest of the
quartet of tigers, in the animal cor
ridor of BOstock's Coney Island, last
night
Falkenborth had just concluded his
act and was driving the animals to
their cages when Rajah, the tiger
nearest to him, turned and glared
menancingly at him. A moment later
a huge form shot through the air. 1t
was Moki, who was standing about
three PAGES in front of Rajah. Moki
struck the trainer a terrific blow, and
before Faikenborth could recover
from the shock the animal had bur
led his fangs into the fleshy part of
his left arm.
The trainer realized his danger, but
kept his head With his still free
right hand he fired two blank car
tridges into the air in an effort to
brighten the tiger away. Moki for
once was not to be tanned by the
leaped again at the trainer, and this
time his fangs penetrated his right
leg clear to the bone. Then the tiger
bit a big hole in the trainers right
arm. Falkenberth still had strength
to shout for help.
His cries were heard by four of the
other trainers, who unlocked the door
leading to the animal corridor and
rushed to his assistance. They found
Falkenberth almost unconscious on
the floor, his body covered with blood
and the crazed tiger snarling over
him. AS the four trainers advanced
on them. They all began firing blank
cartridges into the animals face This
time the volume of smoke was so
great that the tiger beat a retreat,
two of the trainers following him.
firing at him and beating him over
the back and head with their whips.
The tigers mouth was dripping
with blood and his snarling could he
heard all over the place. Finally
Moki was driven growing and snarl
ing into his cage, where in his fury he
beat himself against the iron bars
that kept him prisoner. The other
tigers were also in an ugly humor
but it was an easier matter to control
them and they were gotten into their
cages without much difficulty. The
lions had at no time caused any
trouble.
Falkenberth was terribly injured
He was taken to room in a neigh
boring hotel, where the doctors after
and dressing his wounds
said that the trainer would probably
live.

WOman's Home Companion for August

The August issue of Woman's Home
Companion is full of delightful stor-
ies-just the right sort of mid-sum-
mer reading. Just to pick up the
magazine and look at the little Dutch
boy and the windmill on the cover
makes you feel fool and comfortable.
Then, when you open the magazine,
you come across enough stories and
enhancing illustrations to give you
enjoyment for the entire month.
Some of the authors are Temple
Bailey, Juliet Wilbor Tompkins, Mar
ion Hill, Ruth Wilson Herrick, May
Isabel Fisk, Clinton Dangerfield and
Harvey ]. O'Higgins. And when we
tell you that these stories are illustra-
ted by Orson Lowell Alice Barber
Stephens, Charlotte Weber-Ditzler
and other famous artists, you will
appreciate what treat this summer
magazine has in store for you.
There are serious and practical
things, too. Doctor Hale talks help
fully about "Sleep and Recreation. Z
THE Garden in August" many re-
cipes for summer salads, meats and
substitutes for meats by Bannie Mer-
rift Farmer and Christine Terhune
Herrick. the Summer Fashions by
Grace Margaret Gould, Sam Lloyd s

things that will interest most every
woman who reads the August Wo-
mans Home Companion.
