PULLING A LIONS TOOTH

cause to do so would mean the intimate
death of the animal.
The operation on the lion was a per-
feet success. Every preeaution was taken
10 prevent the breaking of the jawbone,
which would have been disastrous be-
cause of the inability to treat it, 1t is
also necessary to cleanse the jaw prop
erly after such an operation, and TO do
this a elbow pipe" is used. The medi-
cine is placed in the pipe and aimed at
the place to be treated; the operator
blows into the pipe and the medicine is
shot into the mouth of the animal
Recently DR.. Rectenwald had narrow
escape from serious injury when treating,
the eye of one of the bears in this man
ner. When the bear was caught in the
right position, and the medicine blown
into his eye, the animal used his good
eye to guide him and made a lunge for
the doctor, which only fell short a frac-
ton of an inch in reaching his arm.
Comparatively little sickness occurs
among the animals at the zoo, and tooth
ache is almost unknown. After expert
menting for several weeks to ascertain
and lion, it was determined to make =
thorough examination, and it was only
when the jaws of the animal were wide
open, emitting terrible growls and rosss,
that the doctor was able to see the
swollen and inhamed gums
In the case of the lion, a fistula had
already started, and portion of the
gum had soughed away This was at
once healed by applying medicine with
the blow pipe but it broke out again
and then it was that the diseased condi-
ton of the tooth was discovered.
Then came the question: How will we
hold him while we take that tooth out?o
This finally was answered by Keeper
Tretow, who has been in charge of ami
mails and trained hundreds of them dur
ing the past % years. He spent many
years with Hagenback as trainer and
keeper, and has been at the Highland
Park zoo for II years as head keeper
Speaking of the animals at the zoo, Dr.
Rectenwald said that consumption among
the monkeys was one of the worst dis
eases with which he had to contend He
says the monkey is hard to treat and
when asked If the open-air treatment as
applied to human beings would not prove
of benefit to these animals, he expressed
the belief that it would, but in the same
breath depored the lack of funds with
which an open-air monkey house could be
built

REALLY No WINES.

From the Birmingham LedgerO
There still seems to be some doubt as
to whether wines can be made In the
homes. There has been no law against IT
until now. The proposed amendment to
the constitution forbids the making of any
stimulant There can be no more wine
made in Alabama after the amendment Is
adopted. The wording is plain.
The wines already In the homes can be
legally kept and drank, but no more can
be made Wines can be ordered from out
side the state and kept In the homes and
used or served to guests.
This is the plain letter Of the law. as 1t
will be, and there should be no misunder-
standing for person is liable to years
Imprisonment for making any wine after
November 80, or az soon as the amend
ment is adopted and proclaimed. The
amendment has been published in all the
papers, and it plainly forbids homemade
wines or any other wines to be made in
Alabama Keen the law.

From the Boston Globe

IRON the Boston Globe.
N IsITORs to England. and especial
w ~ those interested in military
affairs, have always noticed the
Kings Nearest Guard" and have been
told many curious stories concerning their
social status, but few know the real his
tory of this famous body Many facts
concerning these gentlemen-at-arms have
just found their way into a book pub
lished by Maj. Henry Brackenbury
1t appears that when King Henry VIII
assembled the throne of England, 400 years
ago, one of his first acts was to form a
new bodyguard. The yeomen of the guard
"a corps of 50 arehers under a captain
had been instituted by Henry VII upon his
accession "a years before, but the young
King wanted something rather like the
bodyguard of his cousin of France, whose
sacred person was shielded by band of
mobiles, which contained at one time or
another the representative of every family
of distinction in the country.
So the honorable corps of Gentlemen-at-
Arms came into being, called sometimes
the 'King's Spears of Honor" but more
generally the Pensioners" 1t was COM
posed of so gentlemen EXTRACTS of Noble
Blood" under the command of a captain
and lieutenant. and every one of them
had three attendants, IAN archer, a demo-
launce and a custrell,s beside three
create horses to be attendant on his
persone."
And SO gallant and splendid were the
early members of this ancient bodyguard,
with their apparel and trappings OF silver
and gold, that the first officers endured
but WHILE" not being able to stand
the expense they were put to in protect
ing their monarch.
They must have formed a fine spectacle
when they attended the King on any great
occasion The whole force accompanied
him to Shooters hill when he went to re-
ceive Anne of Cloves and Holinshed wrote
of them:
''Whosoever had well viewed them
might have said that they, for tall and
comedy personages and clean of limb
and body, were able to give the greatest
prince in Christendom a mortal break
fast if he had been the Kings enemy"
In the reign of Queen Mary the Cen
tlemen Pensioners had actually to defend
their monarch in the royal palace. Sir

Views Of An Outsider.

"a nonresident like myself, in looking
on here in this good state of Alabama, so
favored by nature, wonders If the men
who are advocating constitutional prohi-
bition are blind to facts or blind to the
mischief they are doing" said ]. J.
Frazier of ST. Louis.
IT can testify to the fact that constitu-
tional prohibition is openly violated and on
a wide scale In the larger towns of Kan
sas; and every one who keeps informed
about the state of Maine knows that con-
stitutional prohibition is failure. But
what surprises me is that any consider
able number of men of common sense or
state pride would wish to have Alabama
initiate those commemorative whose in
dustrial conditions are wholly unlike
those found here. Kansas is only an
agricultural state. The largest town has
a population of less than 10000 and no one
is predicting that inside of 80 years Kan
sas will have a city in the 100000 class.
Maine has no large cities Portland's
population is less than $1,000. And Maine.
all things considered, is very backward
state. It's population is less than 100000
and within the past 10 years, according
to census reports, it has materially de-
clined in the table of literacy.
Alabama was rising rapidly in the
estimation of the business world and was
regarded as a state that set an example
of progress to the whole south. until 1907,
when legislation antagonistic to capital
came in evidence. But the detrimental
tendency which seemd to characterize the
state administration prior to 1903 was
mild compared to the wild and vicious
policy sought to be imposed on the state
by the legislative session recently ad-
journed.
I'm all the south there is no state with
the future of Alabama. But what 1t
needs to aid in it's development is an in
crease in its agricultural population and
a much wider range of industries in the
Birmingham district. The large iron and
steel companies are here and will continue
to expand. They are the backbone of this
district, but by encouraging small indus
tries the growth of Birmingham and the
enhanced values of this section would
be much more marked. Certain it is that
extreme prohibition laws, such as have
Just gone itno effect, deter capital and
tend to drive off skilled labor. And Biz
mingham needs both. additional capital
and more men and more payrolls. Con-
stitutional prohibition would show to the
outside world that Alabama had deliber-
ately put herself in the list of demagogue
| or fanatic-ridden states. l am only an
occasionally visitor to Alabama, but as I
have material interests here I hope to
see the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution defeated. Outside Of any question

President Taft's Set Speeches

Mr.. Taft left Beverly, it appears,
loaded up with eight carefully pre-
pared speeches, and these have been
delivered. Hereafter he will speak
extemporaneously, recalling from city

happier when speaking extempora-

ON HEARING sAMARoFF PLAY,

BY William Watson, in the Century.
What hopes and fears, what tragical de-
light,
What lonely rapture. what immortal
pain,
Through those two hands have flowed,
nor thrilled in vain
The listening spirit and all it's depth
and height!
Lovelier and sweeter from those hands of
might
The great, strange soul of Schumann
breathes again:
Through those two hands the over
peorled brain
or CHOPIN floods with dreams the impas-
stoned night.
Yea. and he, too, Beethoven the divine,
Still shakes mems bosoms with his
bosoms throes,
o fair Enchantress, through those hands
OF thine;
And yet perchance, forgets at last his
woes.
Happy at last to think that hands like
those
Have poured out to the world his hearts

FLOATING A VOICE.

From the London Chronicle.
Floating a young ladys voice as a
limited liability company sounds some
what Gilbertian, yet it has actually been
done in Australia. A syndicate with a

formed to send a young lady with a re-
markable voice to be trained by Nine.

an engagement to give on her return
