TIES RIBBON ON LIONS TAIL
Woman in Park Makes King of
Beasts Angry.

1t is easier to tie a ribbon on lions
tail than to put salt on the tail OF a
bird. That was the conclusion yester-
day of George Sichert. keeper Of the
lion house in the Central Park menag
erie. when a woman fastened a piece
Of ribbon on the brush-like end Of the
lion Akbar's tail. He is one OF the
lions named by Commissioner Slower.
Akbar and Miss Fulton. lions born In
the park. were asleep and had their
tails hanging outside their cages yes
terday afternoon. Seeing a crowd gath
cring in front OF the Enclosure, Sichert
expected to find some one hitting the
lions with an umbrella again. AS he
edged into the crowd, though, there was
a sudden roar from Akbar which nearly
stampeded the crowd.
The keeper saw the lion whisk his
tail and a piece Of ribbon fiutter to the
ground. In the excitement he could
not find who had fastened the r"ht
blue ribbon on the tail of the lion.
But Akbar did not let his tail hang
outside the next time he dozed.

MISSOURI LEAD MINERS GO
BACK TO WORK TODAY
Pennington, Mo-, Aug. 27.-Five
thousand lead miners will return to
work following the settling of their
grievances by the state board of arbi-
tratiOn and mediation.
The men are jubilant over the re-
suit Of the settlement. They. receive
a 25-cent increase. And even though
they asked so cents they are well
satisfied.
Under the terms of the peace con-
tract, the union is not recognized
but as the operators signed an agree
ment with William Davidson, member
Of the executive board of the West
ern Federation of Miners, that or
ganizatiOn regards it as a triumph.
All future differences will be left
to the state board of arbitration and
mediation. b..
NJ. J. Riley, representative of the
Western Federation of Miners, who
is in Chicago in the interests of the
striking miners of Calumet, Mich,
expressed himself as being well pleas
ed with the outcome of the Farming
ton strike.
81 consider it a complete victory
for union labor" said Mr. Riley. For
years the lead belt of Missouri has
been one of the worst scab districts
in the United States. And even
though the union is not recognized,
the fact that the mine owners sign
ed an agreement with William David
son of the Western Federation of
Miners is significant of the changing
attitude.

Calumet strike cannot be estimated"
