TRAINER TORN IN
FIGHT WITH LION
THREE ASSISTANTS BATTLE DES-
PERATELY TO RESCUE ONE
ARMED VICTIM.
PISTOL BROUGHT INTO USE
Men Armed with Iron Prongs Finally
Force Animal Back Into Cage
After Long Contest In
Narrow Passage.

New York.-Penned in a dark, mar
row passageway of an animal show
arena, at Coney Island, three men
fought desperately for more than half
an hour the other morning with
full-grown African lion to save the
life of Capt. Jack" Bonavita, a one
armed lion trainer. The remains OF
Capt. Bonavita's one arm was badly
torn, and the rescuers themselves
were injured
The lion, which was shipped to
Coney Island from M6mbasa several
weeks before Col. Roosevelt started
for that port, has been known as
Roosevelt" since he was taken into
the arena.
The animals are generally fed at the
close of the show, but owing to the
hard work of breaking" the lion
Roosevelt. Bonavita has been taking
the animal in the arena late at night
and orders have been given not to
feed unless he has finished rehears-
ing.
AS Bonavita stepped into the cage
and snapped a whip the big beast
sprang upon him. Missing the trainer,
the lion crashed into a pedestal and
then turned his attention to the de-
struction of chair Then the whip
was brought on the animals eyes and
it turned to retreat.
Bonavita quietly called to Talon,
another trainer, that the animal was
bad" At the same time he took
refuge behind a second pedestal, in
tending to meet the attack which the
lion had already begun.
When the beast, with flying leap.
came in contact with the barrier Bon
avita quickly stepped behind the

Time to Change Subject.

The Courier-Journal tells of this
embarrassing statement made by a
well-known Louisville woman who Is
known as saying things without
thinking" Her daughter was enter
tanning a young man on the front
porch and the mother was standing
at the fence talking to the neighbors
next door. In the yard of the latter
was a baby little over year old,
and it was trying to walk. You
shouldn't let it walk so young" adj
vised the thoughtless matron. Wait
until it's a little older. / let my
daughter walk when she was about
that age, and it made her bow-legged."
The young man began to talk ener-
getically about the weather.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
&im along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity Of the brain
and nervous system, making IL a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
Of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory IL is served instantly with
cream.
The signature OF the brain worker
spoken of, G. w. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package OF Grape-Nuts.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, "Tbe Road to MELVILLE"
There's a reason"

THE MEDIATOR
By Clinton DanGerfield
Copyright. by ]. b. Lippincott Coz


William Wallace was worthy of his
name. Worthy too of the astoundingly
hard skull granted by Fate, which en-
abled him to wipe up the ground with
every other goat he met. He spent
his time wandering around the K
locomotive plant, in which his owner
was a superintendent.
Aside from his master, William Wal
lace liked Finnegan and McDougal
best. 1t was a grief to him that his
two friends hated each other. Nc
Dougal was a direct importation from
the Scottish Highlands, and, far from
possessing the cautiousness attributed
to the canny Scot, he was belligerent
as any Irishman, though he concealed
this under a brow of contemptuous
scorn.
Finnegan had a red head and plenty
OF ready wit, which last he exercised
80 freely on McDougal that 1t was a
matter OF conjecture among the men
as to how long it would be before the
two came to blows.
rlnueSdu iAsI glue was tnS plo-
verbal straw, for when asked by an
injudicious youth as to why he had
not pounded" the scornful Scot, Fin
negan, remarking McDougal within
ear-shot, observed pityingly:
Sure, an it's not meself would be
fightin wild a poor crathure, jist a
wake or 80 out of petticuts!"
McDougal approached.
Herself will be finding out" he
said significantly, that the Highland

Next Best.

A certain young minister in Phila-
delphia, recently ordained, is still very
nervous and sometimes his remarks
10 not convey exactly the meaning he
intended. A few Sundays ago he rose,
fumbled with the papers on his desk,
blushed, and then said:

thing, therefore. and read a few chap

He knew she was light sleeper
Frequently she had awakened after
having slept only three weeks merely
at the sound of the icebergs crushing
some intrepid explorers ship in the
foes. He remembered this as his
none too steady footballs crunched
through the snow. She heard him as
he was trying to get in through the
servants entrance in the areaway, and
stuck her head out of the upper win
dow. "Is that you Ojib," she de.
manded.
Mr.. Ojibiwosky was forced to admit
that il was.
This Is fine time to be getting

Making Good.

Thsre is no way OF making lasting
friends like vMaking Good;" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines we'll exemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades OF popularity, are numbered By
the hundreds OF thousands. They have
'made good" and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest, sQuare-deal medicine Of
known composition is DR.. Picrce'S Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most OF the prepara-
tons that have come into prominence in
tho earlier period of its popularity have
sgone by the board and are never more
heard Of. There must be some reason for
this long time popularity and that Is 70
be found in its superior merits. when
once given fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative Qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritorlous
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for a brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness. foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste. loss OF appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility. nothing is so good as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It't
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept substitute that
Che dealer may possibly make a little big
ger profit. Insist on your right TO have
what you call for.
Don't buy DR.. Pierce's Favorite preScrip-
tiOn expecting it 10 prove 'cure-all." 1t
Is only advised for woman's special all
ments 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women well. Less advertised than
some preparations sold for like purposes,
its sterling curative virtues still maintain
its position in the front ranks, where IL
stood over two decades ago. AS an in
vigorating tonic and Strengthening nerv-
ine il is unequaled. 1t won't satisfy those
who want BOOZE" for there is not drop
OF alcohol in It.

EPIGRAMS ON LOVE.

Matrimonial mishsps and how to
avoid them was the text Of sn address
delivered Tuesday night before The Kilc
Association, a woman's club, of Ohi'
ccsgo, by Rev. D. D. Vaughan. 3
About 200 young woman listened lt
the discourse and went to their homes
with some of the following epigrsms 81
ponder over:
Marriage is the normal slate, but 1t Is
no louger q necessary state. 8
Women often marry for home, for
money, or because they wish to show
some other woman that they can marry
that particular man.
Learn to understand your husband
men are transparent.
Pretty women are not in demand;
neat girls are.
To hold the love Of your husbands
keep fooling them. Make them believe
you are the angel they supposed you be-
fore the wedding ceremony.
Womau should love their husbands
more than their children or parents;
otherwise they will not be ideally happy.
