MISSOURI BREEDING LIONS.

Lancaster Now Center For American
Wild Animal Trade.
There is n place in Missouri where
the honk-honk of the motorcar is but
rarely heard and where no such de-
vices are owned. The people of Ian
caster don't take much interest in buzz
wagons. because the horse, the Mis-
souri, mule. the lion and the elephant,
tigers, zebras. monkeys. sacred cows
and the like are their stock in trade.
Lancaster is the headquarters of the
biggest individual horse dealer and
circus outftter in America. Billy Hall
Is his well known name, and his bust
ness brings more money to Lancaster
than half a dozen factories. To turn
a buzz wagon loose on the streets of
Lancaster would be an affront to the
industry which has made the place
noted. because horses and motors don't
travel we'll together.
Mr.. Hal made one season as the pro-
prietor Of a big three ring circus and
menagerie. Since then he has gone

tensive scale. and imported elephants,

Footwear Indication Of Character, As.

Those who have hitherto been inter.
ested in analysing the down at heel
condition of a section Of their fellow
creatures may be pleased to hear that
they have been dabbling in a science
distinguished by the name of scarpol-
ogy, of which DR.. Carrier of Basic,
Switzerland. is the chief exponent. 1t
is the art of knowing men and women
by the examination of their footwear.
Criminal investigators as well as 9TH
ers who wish to read character accu-
rately cannot afford to disregard scar
pology, says the doctor. Given a pair
OF shoes worn by their owner for at
least two months and he can tell the
character, disposition and habits of
the wearer By careful practice you
may in a few minutes gauge a man at
his worth simply by glancing at his
feet.
Roughly speaking, the chief indica-
lions of character lie in the manner
and proportion in which the soles and
the heels are worn out. Beware of the
man who wears out the toe and the
external edge of the sole simultaneous.

invariably turn out a crook. 1t is up
to the crooks now to disguise their feet.
