CARE USED IN FEEDING.

Ii is the careful feeding that gives the
animal to understand that the trainer is
his best friend. No other person is al
lowed to feed. water or in any way look
after the pupil" lion, which is not long in
finding that the trainer is it's benefactor
and that ii need not fear any harm from
him.
As the first pan of water is pushed into
the cage, the animal leaps at it and before
the trainer has time to draw it away the
water is upset. After this has been re-
ated several times the pan is secured to
the cage so that the lion can no longer
upset il.
Then the animal becomes accustomed to
the presence of the pan with water. and
after days OF such treatment it entirely
ignores the presence of the trainer. COM

HUNTING IN MOTOR CARS.

Automobiles are revolutioniZing methods
of hunting wild game in Western Kansas
A wolf hunt under the new plan is most
exciting. one man runs the automobile
and another does the shooting. A machine
can run miles and miles on the open prairie
of the West without coming in contact with
a fence a creek When a wolf or coyote
is scared up the automobile takes after
him. A wolf runs in an easy circle. He
doesn't dodge back and forth. So it is com
paratively easy for the driver to keep right
behind him. But the automobile must have
great speed.
A coyote can run thirty miles an hour
with ease. A few days ago some Garden
City hunters ran down a coyote and killed
him with the wheels. That was considered
a great hunting feat. When hunters used
to chase coyotes on horses and with dogs
there was never a record of where they
drove the coyotes to their dens But it is
different with automobiles
Coyotes run until they are about 10 be
taken in and then make for their dens. In
order to smoke them out the driver at
taches a rubber tube TO the gas tank OF
his car and the other end down in
the hole. That soon brings the coyote out
and the race is resumed until the animal
is bagged.-Chicago News.

Plans for the erection this year of new

Church, in Irving Place. near Gates ave-

structure will begin in the spring. The
building will be in the Romanesque style of
architecture, in conformity with that of the
recently completed parish house, which was
opened on New Years Day. These build
ings. the cost of which has been placed at
s509o0. were planned three years ago. Ethan
Allen Dennison, an architect. with offices

POLE AND REVOLVER.

Alert for any move that the animal NAV
make, the trainer advances on the pupil
guarding himself with the pole and a re-
volver loaded with blank cartridges The lion
is not slow in showing it's displeasure and
attacks, but a well-directed stab with the
POLE gives it to understand that II Is safer
to retreat. Slowly the trainer fights the
beast until he has driven it near enough TO
the arena bars to give his assistants a
chance to grasp the chain, which is drawn
between the bars until the animal has not
more than fifteen feet of freedom.
With the lion pulling and tugging at the
chain. the trainer urges II toward IL pedes-
tai, and uses the pole the minute the beast
begins TO attack him. 1t is in carrying out
this part OF the act that the most danger
IS experienced and not few trainers have
been severely if not fatally wounded
through the carelessness of attendants in
not holding the chain securely.
If the animal shows any intelligence IL
will learn 10 take it's place on the pedestal
after three or four weeks of this work at
the end of which time II is safe TO lead it
into the arena without the chain, using
only the pole for protection.
After one animal thoroughly understands
mounting the pedestal the trainer. who
usually breaks from five to eight ami
beast into the big arena. The same process
is carried our, with the exception of having
the first animal chained to it's pedestal while
its turn is taught the new animal. This
is done TO prevent any fight for supremacy
of the cage.
Having broken" both animals for the
exhibition arena, third lion is taken into
the cage in much the same way. and others
are added TO the group until the five lions
are herded together. Each time the chains
prevent q general fight, and by degrees the
animals become accustomed to their
places on the pedestals that they will pick
them at once. To prevent fight while the
animals are being driven into the arena a
number of attendants stand outside and at
the first sign of an attack use the blank
cartridge revolvers, which soon separate the
fighters
Numerous battles are obstacles that must
be overcome before group of four or five
lions can be worked by the trainer. and
even then The animals continue their fights
to choose the boss of the arena. After the
pedestal act has been taught so thoroughly
that the animals know what is expected
of them, the trainer starts the pyramid act.
which is more advanced. and then the beasts
are taught to jump through fire hoops.
which makes up the prelmin Iry education
of the average arenic performer.
As the training continues the trainer
learns every popularity of his charges 10
such an extent that he a a moment
tell what IS about 10 happen. If the animal
assumes a cunning, roguish disposition the
trainer Is on his guard. as he knows that the

DELIGHTFUL WINTER SPORTS.

The residents of Saratoga Springs. y. Y.
have recently organized and incorporated
the Saratoga Springs Winter Club, for the
promotion OF winter sports. and have built
a toboggan slide nearly three-quarters of a
mile long in the famous Woodlawn Park
They have also built a commodious club
house. with every requisite for the comfort
of members and guests, and visitors at
Saratoga may arrange for daily or weekly
privileges, including the use of toboggans
at an extremely moderate cost.
The hills and woods surrounding Sara
toga, the foothills of the Adirondacks,
afford splendid facilities for the enjoyment
of snow shoeing, skiing, coasting and all
outdoor winter sports, and the fine roads
which radiate in every direction give ample
opportunity for sleigh riding under the
most perfect conditions. The hospitality
of Saratoga Springs people IS prOverbial
and winter visitors receive the same cordial
welcome that is extended during the sum

the collars which slip over the necks Of
horses in a fire house. is brought into use.
watching his opportunity the trainer ar
ranges the collar that il can be slipped
over the lions neck. Then the clasp Is
fastened 10 hold the beast I'm firm man
ner. At first the animal shows It's anger
at having the collar on it's neck by making
desperate attempts to rid itself of the In
cunIbrance.
A few days experience with the collar
is ruffcient to make the animal accus-
toned TO II. The trainer then brings out
a strong chain. which is fastened on the
collar After the lion has dragged the
chain about for a few DAYS. the trainer
watches his chance and fastens one end
of the chain 10 the bars.
Enough leeway is given the animal TO
walk about but not to move the entire
length of the cage. The excitement of
having the chain fastened again makes the
animal dangerous. and for at least few
days the trainer is compelled to wait be
fore beginning the most dangerous work
of breaking wild animal.
The subject is now transferred to "A lar
ger den and secured to the bars by the
chain as before. Then the trainer pre-
pares TO enter the cage fer the first time
AS he slowly opens the door the trainer
is met by an outburst of fury from the
beast 1t is only the chain that prevents
the animal from tearing the trainer, who
carefully watches the beast as II makes
its futile charges. The man must be
dOuby careful now and withdraw in time,
for the maddened animal in its struggle IS
in danger of strangling itself.
The excursions into the cage are re-
peated at regular intervals by the trainer
until they no longer arouse the lions fury.
The trainer next introduces an ordinary
kitchen chair. which is the first utensil
used in actual training.
The chair is no less surprise than the
collar was. and before the trainer can ap-
TToach the beast. 1t is up and ready for an
