When you see the animals In the
park menageries pacing back and forth
restiessly In their cages. do not take 1t
for granted that the creatures are un-
happy or even DISCONTINUED. 1t may be
that the lion or the tiger or the polar
bear that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking bis
daily exercise, without which he would
pine end die soon. When the wild
creatures are in their native tungles
they are kept pretty busy bunting food.
Thus each day they walk many miles
perhaps. In their narrow cages In the
parks they are plentifully supplied
with food but their hraWny bodies still
demand a great amount Of exercise.
Mile after mile is paced OFF daily by
the uneasy creatures Usually they
move with hng swinging stride. but
when meafttms comes around then the
step Quickens until when the keeper
appears with hts baskets OF meat the
tigers and lions and other animals heap
against their bars and growi and whine
and lash their tails. In face, they act

1t was very different spirit from
