WILD BEASTS WORRY
COURT OFFICIALS
Two Lions and Lioness, With Full
Grown APP 0tites, Are Held
in Suit.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. I8-Court Of
icials are in a quandary as TO what to
do for the next twenty days with two
lions and a licness, full grown, and
with big, healthy appetites, which
came into their possession last night
through the suing out of a claim OF
the Reading Railroad Company. against
Madame AGILE, professional lion tanner.
The lions were seized at the million
dollar pier by COnstables, after their
owner had refused to pay the railroads s
5000 freight charges.
Madame Adjte- declares that several OF
the mirrors in her. cages were shat
tered in transit, and until the damage
is paid she refuses to pay.
The authorities are now beginning to
realize that, as the property must be
held twenty days before being sold. and
as each lion must be fed fifty pounds
of meat three times a day, it will take
3100 pounds of meat at 10 cents a
pound, to meet the obligation.

Mr.. Bryan Throws a Boomerang.

All over the country they are having
a good laugh at Mr.. Bryan over the
failure Of his attempt to get Secretary
Taft into trap last week. Mr.. Bryan
has often demonstrated that he is an
extremely clever politician, but this
time he was little too clever and he
has learned to his sorrow that BOOM
erangs come back and hit the man who
throws them. Mr.. Bryan sent a tele-
gram to Secretary Taft in which he
calmly announced himself as the lead
ing candidate of his party and men,
toned Mr.. Taft as the leading candi-
date of the Republicans, and then pro-
ccedeG to set his trap. He suggested
that eve join in asking Congress to
pass a bill requiring publication OF
campaign contributions prior to cleo
ton" Then he sat back and waited
for Mr.. Taft to squirm, for surely, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bryan's idea, a cam
paign publicity law would be exactly
what Mr.. Taft would not want
But Mr.. Taft promptly wired to Mr.
Bryan that as far back as April 80
without making any noise about it
whatever, he had sent a letter to Sem
ator Burrows, chairman of the Senate
committee, urging the passage of the
campaign contributions and eXpendi-
lures publicity bill, in order to dimin-
ish corruption in politics. Only Mr.
81 am anxious to avoid assuming an
attitude in the campaign which it is
right to assume; but 50 far as my per-
sonal influence is concerned, l am anX-
bill" Secretary Taft was eXerting his
influence for the bill, without any ad-
vertising, long before Mr.. Bryan be-
gan cooking up his very bright scheme
to embarrass his probable opponent
and get a great deal of advertising fol
himself as the originator of the idea
The episode leaves Secretary Taft in
a most favorable light before the coun-
try, and Mr.. Bryan's attempt to play
a smart little trick has simply turned
the laugh on himself. There will evil
dent!y be a good deal of fun in the
coming campaign if Mr.. Bryan keeps
on this way.

Portland as a Summer Resort.

Without doubt Portland is the most
uniouc. as well as the best adapted ior
a summer city in the whole country.
Nature has been prolific in bcstoWlns
advantages. Portland has been called
the gateway to Maine" LonglelioW
has immortalized it by his poem, "Ihc
CITY by the Sea" We who live mere
hardly realize its advantages. Here
is a city of over $4,000 population, yet
a ride of ten minutes in any direction
either by steam car, trolley or boat,
and the country in all its beauty ana
grandeur is reached. Of Casco Bay
with its islands, much has been writ
ten. But no pen has yet or ever VIII
be able to tell Of its matchlcS5 scenery,
its islands nesting like gems in sea
of turquoise, with stately ships ana
swift-going yachts, together with the
chugsing of innumerable motor boats,
makes q scene that will lingcr always
in the minds of those who love TO PC
hold the beautiful in nature. Portland
has ample facilities to care for the Wis
itnr and no one is ever turned away
from her hoSnitable door.
