North Carolina probably never pre-

Francis L. Hawkes., who once was
Eastor Of Grace Episcopal church, New
York. Short, thicknset. swarthy., black
eyed and black haired. he was q strik-
ing parsonage. He was not only a
great pulpit orator, but considered the
best reader in the New York episco-
pacy. His rather luxurious family de-
tered him from accepting a bishopric,
which would have otherwise been
rendered. One day delegation from q
Buffalo church waited upon him and
invited him to accept pastorate in
that city.

THE MIGHTY LION.
Il 10 Easy Enough to Scare Him II
You Know Just How.

YOU Know Just How.
If a lion or tiger suddenly appears
before you. just hold chair out In
front of him, and he won't do thing.
Allen Williams, who, in the course Of
his experience with wild animals has
been in that predicament often enough
to know. says: "These creatures have
much more limited intelligence than
is generally supposed. They can take
in only one thing at q. time. and the
four legs of a chair would keep any
lion busy thinking for long time.
THAT is the reason why animal
trainers carry two whips when they
are in the circus ring. One for crack
ing and awning the performers, the 9TH
er for emergencies II one of the lions
tries to attack him the trainer simply
holds the reserve whip in front Of him.
The two objects together are too much
for the lions intelligence, and he is Inn
mediately subdued."
Another proof Of the limited intelli-
gence Of the cat tribe, say trainers. is
the fact that their performances must
always come In the same order Of sue
cession. II by some accident the order
is broken, the animals are completely
lost and the trainers are few who can
kesp them in submission once they be-
come confused. In fact, most trainers
consider themselves lucky IN q case Of
this sort II they can get the Lions
quietly back into their cages.
