Lion Escapes
Fro ~ & q s. g
1T M0rTeS0n

A lion running about unmolested in a
throng of thousands Of people was t he
scene of Markesan Tuesday morn ing
Just after the Gollmar parade had
reached the show grounds after their
down town tour.
It appears that in some manner the
door of the lions cage became unfas
tened and as the parade wagon con-
tanning the lion was about to enter the
menagerie tent, the lion meekly walk
ed out Of the open door and his pres
ence among the crowd certainly made
things exciting especially among the
women and children, but it was here
that the trained ability Of the Gollmar
employees showed as the men are
trained for emergencies of this kind and
also for any disturbance or excite
ment.
AS the master of the forest paraded
boldly among the crowds on the show
grounds he appeared to enjoy the sights
as well as the rest but the people did
not approve of his presence and there
was general scattering. The beast
was returned to it's cage and no one was
injured.

The most wonderful thing in the world
is love expressed in the helpless infant.
And among those aiGs and comforts for
expectant mothers is the well known
Mothers Friend
This is an external application to
enable the abdominal muscles to become
more plant, to expand naturally without
undue pain from the strain upon cords
and ligaments.
In almost every settled community are
women who have enjoyed the blessing of
this famous remedial and helpful embro-
cation. Their daughters have grown up
to learn of it's splendid assistance.
Applied as directed upon those muscles
involved it soothes the fine network of
nerves with which al the muscles are
supplied. Thus great share of the pains
so much dreaded may be avoided and the
period of expectancy passed through in
ease and comfort.
Anything that adds so much comfort
must be counted as a blessing indeed.

For over an hour l walked about

A deadfall was impractical, so my
plan was to build a combination pit
and deadfalI. much after the plan OF
the Indian way OF trapping grizzly
bears in the west

l made some progress, scOOping the
earth out with fat shale from lodges.

half or four feet deep.

Marquette, of the Red Star Line, sailing
from Antwerp August 6. Their ship was
chased and stopped by three British cruis-
ers that mistook the identity of the British
steamer. Twice shots were fired across
the bow of the Marquette before the steam
er stopped. During the entire trip across
to Boston the passengers were in a highly
nervous state. fearing a hOld-up by Ger
man warships All portfolios were blank
eted and no lights were allowed on the ship
during the night Mrs. Thomas gave the
following description of the fight of the
party from Trieste. Austria, where they
contemplated taking a steamer for home
Upon arriving at Trieste July % pre-
paratory to sailing on the Kaiser Franz
Joseph the following day, we were in
formed that war had been declared and, in
consequence. the ship would not sail, as her
men had been pressed into service and the
ship was needed as a transport. We APP
pealed to the American Consul, who told
us to leave as quickly ~ we could. We
acted upon his advice id left for Ant

thorities not knowing we were with them.
AT Brussels all other passengers. ex-
cept emigrants, were ordered out but we
kept our lights out and lay down, thereby
escaping detection. We arrived at Ant
