AMUSEMENT NOTES.
ESCAPED WITH LEoPARDs.
Animal Trainer Had Difficult Time in
Getting Out of Paris.

The courageous exploit of Mile Mathilde
lIira, the daring animal trainer with the
Cook & Wilson circus, which this town will
see Tuesday, July f. in escaping from
Paris the day after the declaration of war
with her troupe of educated forest-born
leopards, Is one of the many thrilling cpl
sodes for which the great European strug-
gle has been the occasion.
Mile Zira and her leopards were the
topliners of the small but popular Cirque
Medrano, in the Batignolles district of the
French metropolis. The imminence of
the war was not realized by the public,
and no one thought of escaping from the
city. The day after war was declared the
government issued an order laying under
requisition for military use all the auto
mobiles, horses, dogs and other animals
of whatsoever description" in the city.
While there could be no possible public
use for Mile. Zira's leopards, except for
food in case of a siege, the little trainer
was notified that the animals could not
| be removed and must remain at the dis
position of the project OF police
As the circus was Immediately closed
instead of sending the leopards to an ami

conveyed to her apartment on the. Rue

were bored in the sides and bottoms o
the trunks; the leopards fed until they

tie Girls can eat all tney want, for as
long as the seeds are brown they can
never do any harm. And, you Apples,
you must be very sure that you turn
around and have the sun warm you
and make you bright and red
LAS the old Apple Tree was talking,
I noticed that the Apples just grew a
little bit bigger, and redder and fatter,
and looked as though-oh-they were
so juicy and wonderful inside. 1 was
certain, too, that the little seeds were
growing browner every minute.
But still the Apple Tree didn't seem
satisfied. For he began to wave about
and scold a little bit more
"'You see,' he continued, it's such
an honor for US. You know that on
the day we're ripe the Fairy Queen
brings all the little Fairies to admire
US. and they sit on the boughs and
wave about with us, And more that
that-you know the Apple that is ripe
first goes to the Fairy Queen and then
some more go to the little Fairies .
But" said Nancy, 81 should think
that if the Fairies ate all the apples
there would be none left for Grownups
and Boys and Girls"
NO" said Daddy. that doesn't hap
pen. It's a special scheme they have.
You see the old Apple Tree has a lot
of Apples that the grown-ups can't see
that are for the Fairies-and the Fairy
Queen is given one of the real Apples

It is claimed by high authorities in
England that tobacco is beneficial to
the soldier, who ''inds that his cigar
or pipe enables him to sustain fatigue
with comparative equanimity.' Ac-
cording to this, smoking may be one of
the means of preparedness in this
country, though the youngest beginner
or the oldest puffer has not yet offered
this as an explanation of his indul-
gcnce.
