The Story of Androclus.

Androclus, the slave Of Roman Con-
sui in Africa, was treated so badly by his
master, that he ran away, taking shelter
in cave from the heat ofthe sun. Alion
entered, which seemed to be in great
pain. The animal, seeing Androclus, in
stead of attacking him, went up to him
and held out its paw, which had been
pierced by large thorn. The poSr fugi-
tive extracted the thorn; and when the
injured paw was healed, the slave and
his strange companion lived together in
the same cave some time. The lion
brought home game enough for both, but
Androclus got tired of such savage life,
and left the cave and his shaggy friend.
By and by he was captured by some SOL
diers and sent prisoner TO Rome, where
he was condemned to be thrown to the
lions in the amphitheater, as a runaway
slave. New, when criminals were con-
demned 'to the lions" they were not al
lowed any weapon whatever, but were
exposed, unarmed and quite defenseless,
to the fury of the ferocious beasts, to be
torn to pieces for the amusement OF the
scarcely less ferocious spectators. Poor
Androclus was standing alone in the vast
amphitheater, ,withouthope ofhuman help,
and the lion was let loose on him; but
what was the wonder OF the spectators
when the lion, instead of springing on the
slave, went gently up to him and began
to lick him. II was the lion from whose
paw Androclus had distracted the thorn,
and who recognized his benefactor and
companion Of the African cave. And
when AndrocIus had told his story the
people were struck with admiration, and
he received his pardon.

CURTISS MAKES
THREE FLIGHTS
knabenShue, Beachey and
Baldwin Also Thrill St.
Louis Spectators.

st. Louis, Oct. Glenn H. Curtiss,
who won the International honors in
aviation at Rheims, France, made three
aeroplane flights here today. One was
more than a quarter of d mile, and the
shortest of the three was 220 yards.
Curtiss last performance of the day
was cut short by his engine failing
from the ground. The machine glided
to an irregular landing place and a rud-
der guy SNAP ped. The aviator said the
machine would be ready for service to-
morrow. CUTtiss used a biplane with a
twenty e-hOTsepOWeT motor.
George Francois Osmont, who is here
with the FaTman biplane which won the
endurance prize at Rheims, attempted
three times at dusk to satisfy the
crowd that he could fly. He circled the
field several times. but not fast enough
to enable him to leave the ground.
Roy Knabenshue. Lincoln Beachey
and Thomas Baldwin made flights in
dirigibles. Baldwin made an extended
flight, when motor trouble overcame
him and he was forced to land in the
crowd. His second fight, after repairs
had been made, was successful.
Knabenshue and Beachey thrilled the
spectators by mounting simultaneously
and flying about two miles side by side.
Knabenshue left Beachey's airship in
the rear when the latters motor be-
came Overheated. Knabenshue then
swept out over the park in a great
circle.

HELD Up At THE
CUSTOMS HOUSE
Works of Art Not Getting Into
the United States Free
of Duty.

New York, Oct. 7.-Old paintings worth
about 100000 have been held up recent
~ by the customs officials here, it was
learned today, despite the fact that the
new tariff law provides for the free en-
try of works of art more than twenty
years old.
Fifth avenue art dealers say that al
though these paintings are well over the
age limit, they have been unable for this
very reason to answer completely the
customs officers searching questions re-
garding the exact origin and date. A
committee Of dealers tonight issued this
statement:
The law has been practically made in
operative as it stands at present. Tire
government demands not only the name
of the artist and the subject but place
where the picture was painted, the date
of production and the month, even, which
is simply ridiculous. 1t is impossible TO
give the month, and in many cases even
the year, when Sir Joshua Reynolds, for
instance, painted his pictures"

In order to secure the nomination Of j.
S. BTansfOTd for mayor, his supporters,
naturally were forced TO make some
concessions. According to the arrange
ment, so it is understood. the three men
most Objectionable to the Lippman and
Mcmillan men-Kelsey, Raleigh and Fow-
ler-were to go. II was also agreed that
they were to go quietly. With these men
out of the way it was figured the handi-
cap on Bransford would be decreased
and his chances for election would be
vastly increased.
However, 1t Is understood that in con-
nectiOn with the Kelsey resignation al
ready in the hands Of the mayor, and the
other two prospective designations, there
is considerable of "A bluff. The Tesigna-
lions, it is said, are not to take effect
until Jan. 1, although, of course, this fact
has not been publicly announced. The
Americans, or that branch that faVOrs

terms of office expire Jan. l in any event.
and that if the Republicans are elected
the three men will necessarily be out, and
that if the Americans are reelected there
is nothing to prevent the reappOlntment
of the three by Mayor BTansfOTd.
In connection with the talked-Of resig-
nations an interesting story is told. On
Wednesday afternoon, so the story goes,
MAYOR BranSfOrd called at the headQuaT-
ters Of the Americans and insisted that
Kelsey and Raleigh be kept out Of the
headquarters, telling Chairman Darmer
that these two men We're hurting him
through their support. He told the chair
man that Sandy" Fowler would repre-
sent him at headquarters DaTmeT and
Fowler are none too friendly, and Oar
mer suggested that all three be kept out
of headquarters, and that none of them
have anything to do with the city cam
paign or with the city administration.
Finally. il is said, a compromise was
agreed upon whereby all three would re-
sign from their positions and that none of
them would be actively connected with
the fall campaign. Kelseys resignation
came yesterday and the Americans are
waiting for Fowler and Raleigh to follow
