A Lion Tanners Secret.

The boarhound growled, and the
great yellow lion leaped back in fear.
'The lion could kill the hound the
trainer said. "but he doesn't think so.
He thinks the hound could easily kill
him"
"WhyT
"When the lion was a cub this boar
hound, full grown, lived in the cage
with him. The big dog could, Of
course, lick the little cub, and the cub
therefore feared and respected him.
Now the cub is grown up, but he still
thinks the hound is the better. We
rear cub with a full grown hound ia
this way for a reason Tie houndds a
protection TO us trainers afterward
when the cub Is grown, for then should
he become ramhunctl0us one look from
the dog will send him, subdued and
ashamed, sinking off to the cages far
