BARNUM'S OLD LION.
How tho Great Snowman Turned His
Death to Account.

Death to Account.
Among the features Of the parades
Of the Barnum circus there was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top of one Of the
Wild beast cages lay an enormous lion.
He was not confined in any way, and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and con-
template the terrible possibility Of the
lion springing into the midst Of the
crowd.
But the venera BILE old king Of beasts
had reached the leonine dotage, and
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and in the winter
quarters, where he was allowed TO
roam at will. sometimes had to be pro-
tected from the onslaughts of irrever-
ent and mischievous puppies.
One night he wandered from the
quarters. In the course of his travels
he CHANGED on a barn where a meek
eyed COW was placidly chewing her
cud. A faint flicker Of the slumbering
jungle spirit stirred his pulse, and.
with a crashing blow of the huge fore
paw, the COW was slain; then, lying
down beside his victim, he went to
sleep and dreamed of the time when he
was shaggy little whelp playing with
his brothers under the bright sun Of his
faroff African home.
In the morning the owner of the COW,
a stalwart female with the blood of
Irish kings In her veins entered fha
barn with milk pail in hand. She was
filed with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze. With keen edged ak in her
hand and grim determination in her
eye she fearlessly approached the sleep
ing lion. and when the men sent out to
search for him arrived he lay cold in
death. Barnum promptly paid for the
dead cow and engaged to appear on
exhibition 1.-The woman who in mortal
combat had slain a lion" ~

Why They Don't Desert.

Instances of desertion from the
army in Mexico are very rare and for
the best of reasons said Senior Jose
de Minaldez of Nueva Leon.
The reason lies in the almost sure
capture of the fugitive and the certain
ty that he will get not one but numer
Gus fioggings on his bare back. These
lashings are done In the presence OF
the comrades of the deserter. and when
the men see how great Is the suffering
Of the misera BILE wretch who tried in
vain to quit his military obligations
they are forced to conclude that 1t is
better to stick to the army than to un
dergo such a terrible ordeal."-Balti

STATE SUPERINTENDENT Us.
TRUD has charged up a new auto
mo bile to the state. We would
lik to know Ustrud's line OF
reasoning by which he figures
out that the state should pay for
an automobile. He's got some
theory on it. but the taxpayers
pay the freight. The state sup.
erinte ndent previous to Ustrud
was able to conduct the office for
two years on an ap preparation of
$1,000. The reform legislature
thought that the Office could not
be properly conducted on this
. mount and increased the appro
ton to 81, 200. No wonder Us
trud has been looking around for
some way to get rid Of the
states money. The automobile
is as good as any other.

1T is an unthinkable thing that
the republicans of South Dakota
should place in nomination for
senator a man of the calibre of
Governor Crawford rather than
Senator Kittredge. Mr.. Kilt
redge has attained an enviable
reputation in the senate, and is
recognized as one of the master
minds of that body, entrusted
with some of the most important
work that congress has before
it. AS chairman of the commit.
tee on the Panama canal his abil.
ity and working capacity has
been recognized by the sen.
ate. A man Of clean public and
private life, there is every reas-
on why he should be retained in
the position to which he is bring
ing honor to South Dakota. Mr..
Crawford is perhaps a more bril-
liant platform talker than Mr..
Kittredge, but when you have
said this you have said all. He
is shallower in every respect,
80 far as solid attalnments are
concerned, and the change of
senators would simply be put
ting q small man in large mans
place, or as has been said, replac.
ing a worker by q chatterer.
There are already too many OF
these last in the senate.
