F~orgetful of herself she leaned eagerly
toward Adrian, and her dark eye:

COLLAPSE OF PLATFORM
AT EASTERN STAR MEET

Kansas City, Mo, Oct 3.-Scores
of women. most of them delegates
to the fortieth annual session of the
Missouri grand chapter Order of the
Eastern Star, were injured Thursday
by the collapse of platform on the
lawn of the Shriners' Temple. Four
hundred persons were thrown to the
ground. Twenty We're severely hurt,
All will recover
The platform had been erected to
group the delegates for a photograph.
At the request of the photographer
the persons on the stand rose to
their feet. This strain caused the
structure to give way. Those who
fell last scrambled over entangled
bodies and enmeshed regalia to the
ends of the platform.
Most of the injured were residents
of Kansas City.

SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS
AND BUFFALO BILL

1t was yarn-spinning time in the
pad room" of the Sells-Floto circus
and Buffalo Bill (himself), which is
coming here October 6, and Capt.
Dutch Recardo, wild animal trainer,
was taking his turn at the wheel,
He barred an arm and pointed to the
scars thereon, Then he smiled.
Just one of the reasons | would
rather perform twenty cages full Of
lions than one group of leopards," !"
he announced "And I'll include til
gers in the list of more desirable,
too"
A clown looked up.
Whats the reason?" he asked
Just this" came the answer of the
trainer, "the leopard is the meanest
the most spiteful, the most vengeful
animal there is. That's all.
"A lion, you know" he continued,
will get mad enough to bite your
head off-and then a half hour later
he will have forgotten he was ever
peevish in his life. A tiger is the
same way-and a bear, too for that
matter. But you never can tell what
a leopard will do. You'll never know
when you've angered him and more
when he does become your enemy,
he'll wait months to get his re-
venge.
81 remember about five years ago,
we got a new group of leopards on
the show and, naturally, one morning
| took them out in the arena to teach
them few tricks. One of them
seemed sullen and l tapped him a
little with my whip. He snarled
a little and leaped to his ball-but
there was no protest. In fact he
seemed the most willing animal |
had.
"a month went by. Two, three
and that leopard did everything in
its power to show me what a friend
it was to me. 1t seemed anxious
to practice, it seemed most happy
when it was out there in the arena

MOTHER! IS CH|LD'S
STOMACH SOUR, S|CK2
II tongue is coated or If cross, fever
ish, constipated, give "CaIi-
fornia Syrup of Figs"

Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this
is sure sign its little stomach, liver
and bowels are clogged with sour
waste.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally,
has a stomach-ache, Indigestion, diar-
rhoea, give a teaspoonful of Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs" and in a few
hours all the foul waste, the sour
bile and fermenting food passes out
of the bowels and you have a well
and playful child again. Children
love this harmless fruit laxative"
and mothers can rest easy after CIV
ing it, because it never fails to
make their little '1nsides" clean and
sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother, A little
given today saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-u ups plainly
on the bottle. Remember there are
counterfeits sold here, so surely look
and see that yours is made by the
California Fig Syrup Company"
Hand back with contempt any other
fig syrup.

going through its tricks. 1t fawned
against me-whenever | went near its
cage, it would come forward and
rub its sides against the bars like
a great comfortable house cat. And,
naturally, grew careless when train
ing it.
"One day-it was one morning
when | was practicing the animals
stopped for a moment near that
leopard. A leap-it was on me-
tearing into my breast with its
claws, its sharp-toothed jaws wide
spread and swapping at my throat.
1t snarled-it's eyes grew as green
as the waves of an angry ocean.
| screamed-.but it did no good.
j whirled, l twisted-and finally
managed to get one arm loose.
and with that one free hand"
Captain Ricardo finished, beat that
leopard behind the ear until l knock
ed it clear from me. | stumbled
from the arena, my breast torn, my
arms clawed and scratched and bleed
ing-they took twenty eight stitches
in this arm alone.
"And that is why" the trainer fin
ished. 81 say that would rather
work any number of lions or tigers
than a leopard. They hold their
anger too long"
