FATIGUE That Follows Monotony OF

II is said that for horses the hardest |
road out of London is the most lever
one. There are no hills to climb ana
descend, and the tired horse mas no
chance to rest one set OF muscles
while another works. Monotony pro-
duces fatigue, and because this par
ticular road is one dead, monotonous
level more horses die on 1t than Oh
any other leading out of London.

PeriIs That Come With Managing
Those Vicious Animals.
I asked Captain Bonavita once what
he considered his most dangerous mo-
ment when he performed with MS
twenty-seven lions. He said that ne
thought it was when he first entered
the arena. The moment before, when
he had to drive this great herd of lions
in. was almost as bad, but the hrst
few minutes when the crowd of lions
entered were terribly uncertain ana
undoubtedly the most dangerous.
In the first place, with such crowd
there was the danger of being pushed
or knocked down. Then there was the
danger of tripping among them or OF
stepping on their tails. for many OF
them would lie down and roll over ano
over as a preliminary to the perform
ance, and if he were not struck by
their feet he was just as likely to Dt

Grinned Into Matrimony.

That grinning matches were an ac-
eepted form of sport in early English
days is shown by an advertisement
announcing a gold, ring to be grinned
for by men on Oct. 9 at the Swan
Coleshill heath, Warwickshire, which
appea ced in the Post-Boy of Sept. H.
I'LL. Addison gives detailed ac-
count of one of these Controversies OF
faces" telling us that the audience
unanimously bestowed the ring on a
cobbler who produced several new
grins of his own invention, having
been used to cut faces for many years
together over his last"
His performance was something 1k'
this: "At the very first grin he cas-
every human feature out Of his coun
tenance, at the second he simulated
the face Of spout, ct the third tina
of baboon, at the fourth the head O.
a bass viol and at the fifth a pair o
nut crackers" Addison adds that
comely wench whom he had wooed Il
vain for more than five years was s.
charmed with his grins that she maj
ried him the following week, the cob
bier using the prize as his weddin
ring.

that Stokes was willy old man who
knew better than to get himself into
a breach Of promise suit. There was
not an element of love in me whole
affair. It was lust on Stokes part
and on Miss Graham's part 1t was
lucre."
The girls plea was extnrtion, pure
and simple, he declared, with Ethel
Conrad, "a wildcat and kitten" as the
prime mover. He said the whole cpl
