The President has delivered him
self of his first message to Congress,
1t has surprised nobody. What he
said. even what he might have said,
has long ago been discounted by his
actions and his speeches delivered
while swinging around the country
last fall. The President uses the
usual platitudes about being at
peace with the world, prosperity,
being on the eve of a substantial
business expansion, etc. His 1900
words, or whereabouts, might have
been saved. What Speaker Cannon
and Senator Aldrich, the opponents
of Trusts and Subsidies, do and say
is far more weighty.

He Went Back to Bed.

Count Bertrand, who recently died in
Paris, was very eccentric man, and
to one Of his eccentricities he ascribed
his long life. Once a year he would
betake himself to bed and stay there
for three months. On these occasions
he would see no one but his servant,
who brought him his meals. and even
him the count forbade to speak.
Just before the Germans began the
siege of Paris the nobleman went to
bed, and the servant, true to his in
functions, said nothing Of the events
going on around him. One day the
bread proved so bad the count de-
manded an explanation. whereby, of
couse, he learned that Paris was en-.
compassed by the enemy.
Springing out Of bed. the count
paced the floor. repeating, What
should a Bertrand do under such cir.
cumstances?" Suddenly he stopped
exclaiming. HE should go to bed!'
And to bed he went, staying there I'M

1t was in this passageway that Tai
Ion, McField and Rey, trainers, were

men turned a corner and started down

the arena they came face to face with
the Infatuated animal.
The passageway was dark and here
only the green eyes served as marks
at which the trainers struck repeated
ly with their prongs. The width Of
the passageway had been planned for
just such an emergency and the lion,
unable to turn, was forced back while
the prongs were thrust at him.
At moment when the rescuers
were getting decidedly the best of the
encounter the lion made an upward
spring. Like two fire balls the eyes
showed his adversaries the direction
he was taking and, not alone relying
on the prongs, the revolvers were
brought into use.
As the BATHS progressed Bonavita,
held from escape by the closed doors,

to position and as the weapon is
loaded with four blank and two bullet
cartridges, he was compelled to rely
on these for final stand.
