LION UNDER KNIFE;
HAPPY HE'S CURED
Operation Performed on King
at Hippodrome Successful,
but Rather Uproarious.

There is one very happy lion in New
York to-day. His name Is King, and
the cause Of his JOY is that he - free
from the suffering he had undergone
since he left the winter quarters Of the
Wallace Hagenbeck Circus last week.
Just now King is part OF the Hippo
drome. As soon as he arrived on Mon
day the keepers saw he had an abscess
on the head and another near his left
fore paw.
DR.. Martin J. Potter. veterinarian,
decided an operation was necessary.
Accordingly Kings shifting cage was
rolled down TO the operating room
yesterday noon, rope wGs passed
around the lions neck and then around
pipe az one side. and the cage door
was lifted.
Before King could say Jack Robin
son" or growl out its jungleland equiv
alent he was pulled up against the wall,
and second later he found himself on
the floor, with strong ropes and chains
around his legs and body and with only
the injured paw free. A rope on the
end of that kept him from waving II
very violently.
King is only two years old, but in
those two wears he has stored up an
astonishing amount Of strength. Be
fore he was tied down on the operating
table which looked very much like
o. ordinary wooden box. it seemed once
or twice as though his contortions
would wrench him free.
During most Of the proceeding King
was very patient. considering that a
big muzzle kept him from breathing
any too freely and a chain under his
chin rapidly wore away big patch OF
hair and some of the skin under 1t.

Instructor Angry and

Cav Parisians should learn the ways
of New York before they attempt 70

25l West 4sth st. She proceeded TO
demonstrate both her belief and her

Miss Olsen. who is only five feet
three, was in an uptown train, opposite
the Frenchman, who continued to stare
at her. When the women seated next

and tried 70 take her hand. As she left
at 66th st he became even holder and
changed his base OF operations to her
ankle.
What do you mean, you loafer?" she
said But the gay Partisan pretended
he knew her "No, you don't" she re-
piled. "and if you don't leave me I'll
smack your face" But his European
spirit got the better of him, and he fol-
lowed her across the street.
Miss Olsen then gave her little dem
onstraton, sapping his face and
knocking his glasses TO the ground. As
he picked them up a neat uppercut met
his chin. Two men then grabbed the
ardent wooer. and asked the young
woman if they should call the police.

Wool Shortage.

Several new influences in the "oolleh

so actively in operation next summer
that many followers Of styles predle'
that thousands Of men viii take up the
wearing Of suits Of cotton cloth either
in plain white or m plain. solid colors'

Style advocates OF cottons for men
have not been lacking for many years

for daily and business use. I'm southern
cities the men are almost all clothed IN
white during the hot spell. but many
use cotton cloth suits OF blue or trown
or other plain shades. President Will
son is among the many prominent ma
tional characters who have followed
such styles.
The principal reason for a belief that
cotton goods will be in wider use Tor
