The lion kitten captured by Ram
sey Patterson over a month ago is
still at his residence in this city and
is rapidly acquiring domestic habits
evidently appreciating what it is to
have "happy home" The little crea-
ture has docile nature and is losing
it's "call of the Wild" sticking close
to the yard during the daytime, and
at night crawling into its bed in
little tent.
1t also enters rooms of the house
and is making himself perfectly at
home.
Patterson said yesterday the lion
will undoubtedly be of huge size, it's
feet now being about fully developed,
and these members are about as large
as the grown. Dogs of that
neighborhood, as we'll as tame cats,
are leaving the Patterson premises
alone, as the lion seems to be the
monarch of It's possessions.
The government has advised Pat
terson to rear the beast to maturity
and later he can dispose of it to any
menagerie desired. He said: "Foch
is it's name, and I am afraid that in
a few months if its playful mood
continues to develop, it will have a
very stiff kick like the famed French
general; it is already getting to be a
rough customer and does not seem
to know what steam it has behind
those two front paws"
