have been considered by him YER,
secondary affairs so far as the fight
ing and powerfully defensive crea.
lures were concerned. He demanded
and got together only the best OF
their kind, and his collections con.
stantly had to be added to, for they
were as constantly depleted from
fighting. He was, so far as wild con
tests went, the boss promoter of fights
and he planned every sort of scrap
with odds even and with handicaps, at
times putting n against many. He
would have a hungry lion turned in
to a large Enclosure. constituting the
arena and into which had been prev
iously driven a big and nimble stag,
and then he and his people would
witness and make bets on the length
of time it would take the big cat to
corner and pull down the inotfensive
deer, by which you will recognize
what a nice, kindly sort of guy this
i~ncble Shah wasn't.
He matched his f~iercest and best
lion against the t~iercest and best tiger
for the possession of IA piece of meat,
and the tiger won out. He put the
eiSeI up against d IgnllnS spanish
bull and the bull killed the tiger. He
put a peasang goat against the bull
and the larger creature was very
shortly butted to a standstill. To
clinch the matter he pitted a lion and
later a tiger against the peasang
billy, and the goat came off the victor.
All of which proves pretty conclusive
ly that the lion is far from being the
king of beasts However, it must be
admitted that the named cat is a very
formidable animal and as such has
engaged the earnest attention of
many sportsmen of ability, some of
whom have lost their lives in the eff
fort to kill certain lions. But this is
another Observation-Disclosures Public

OH sHUCKs!

How many times have we read in
printers journals or heard at editorial
conventions that the editor who asks
the support" of the business men of
his community is in effect a beggar?
The high and mighty orator haughtily
insists that all patronage must be
solicited upon a purely business"
basis and that the publisher who ex-
poets anybody to %patronize him "to
help the paper" is a poor weak worm
of the dust and doesn't deserve sup
port.
Maybe that's true of metropolitan
papers, though I'm by no means sure
about that; but it certainly is not
true of the average village newspaper.
Anybody who ever responded to the
invitation of a set of business men to
come to their town and establish a
paper, can tell you how free they are
to promise support. The publisher
is risking the savings of his lifetime
and his only means of gaining a live
lihood. Naturally he rs a little eau
tlOus about v~enturing. But the bust
ness men know their town will never
amount to anything without a news
PdpO1- liSt lIdilllIjOuSlN pIOItilSS "
stand by" it. They'll buy all their
job work at home and not split pen
MES about the price. The depart
ment store" will run lots of big ads.
Every business man in town will use
space regularly, and pay a fair price
for it. "Oh, we'll see you through,
never fear"
Finally, in fear and trembling, the
publisher, against his own better
Judgment, allows himself to be per-
suaded. He starts off fine. Every
b Ody is enthusiastic, and they are all
going to get rich, now that they have
newspaper. But the first of the
month comes, the publisher wants a
check, and the advertisers business
hasn't doubled. Each pay day a few
of them either drop out or cut
Town their space. The department
ad shrinks to about ten inches
Zach issue, for which ten cents an
nch seems a big price to pay.
What can the publisher do about
t? He spent all his savings to move
n and certainly has had no chance
o accumulate a fund to move him
'ut. His family don't wear so good
lotHeS dS Cney ala Wnen tney nrSc
anne. He doesn't make such gener-
us cash donations as every public
pirited man should. Prospects are
ark. Then he gets a nice cherry in
itatiOn to attend an editorial con-
ention. That's it. He doesn't feel
bic to afford it, but he'll go and

hing helpful. He goes, and the

1ows, too, that his paper is actually =

SAYS LION NOT KING OF BEASTS

A hundred years ago very little
was known about the lion, except
that the creature was worthy of great
fear. Later accurate firearms came
into use and the beast was successfully
hunted, but no large animal has been
so little understood nor has had so
many contradictions uttered for or
against it. There have been also many
abSurdltles with regard to the social
ed king of beasts, which by the way,
Is not by any means a just title, as
the rhlnocerous, the elephant and the
tiger have proved themselves masters
OF the lion, and a kadiak pear of
Alaska could probably smash and
knock out about half dozen of the
big cats IN as many minutes. though
such should be expected from the
c%arnlvorous representative of a re-
public, the largest fesh-eating animal
IN the world.
There are stories anent the relative
prOwess of tigers and lions that make
interesting reading, and show, in ey-
cry case of single combat, that the
striped fury from southern Asia is
the more powerful beast of the two.
In eastern Persia and southwestern
Afghanlstan the desert tigers some
times have been overcome and eaten
by hons, but it must be remembered
that the named eats go IN companies
N tigers always singly, and there
can be not the least doubt that it re-
qulred several, yes, Il good many hons
20 entirely defeat even one tiger.
Though two hons could possibly in
met more wounds on one tiger than
the tiger could on them, when the
night was over what would the lions
have felt and looked like? AS a matter
OF tact few creatures. even the most
heroic, care to get hurt in any sort of
deliberate combat; they are more
easily whipped than is generally Sup
posed. Stories about the most savage
of them fighting to the death, even
Well-matched individuals of the same
species. are all absurd f~abrications
written by sensation mongers eager
to shout into the public ear.
A hundred years ago the lion was
hunted only by companies of men,
armed with fintlock guns, imperfect
percussion cap muzzle leaders and
spears, b~ludgeons, nets, traps and
bIrdllme. The creature took toll of
many humans and no wonder that
tellS Leo was called king. Finally,
however, the savage cat was hunted
of or exterminated in southern
Europe, and long before the gun be-
the III weapon of the hunter
were no longer known north or
west of Asia Minor.
About a hundred years ago there

The best thing that could happen to

John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., said at
Brown University reunion:
"The prohibition law is no hardship
to the majority of our most successful
men. AS a class these men have
practically always been total abstain
ers. The reason is, of curse, that
they need all the brains they possess
for work and can't afford to befud-
die themselves with alcohol"
Mr.. Rockefeller smiled.
Il remember dining out once with
a famous financier. and our hostess
seeing that the great man drank
nothing but icewater, exclaimed:
Why, Mr.. Bank; You are drink

FATE HARD on MACMILLAN
Austrian Archduke Really a Man OF
Good Intentions but Consist
emily Unfortunate.

When Macmillan was placed as
ruler over Lombardy by his brother,
Francis Joseph Of Austria, he was
sent to Venice. Lombardy was, OF
course, entirely italian, and hated
Austria with a deep hatred, although
there was no personal feeling against
Maximilian, q dreamer and altruist
who would have been delighted to
have his subjects like him. The dem
onstrations that followed were aimed
not at the unhappy Macmillan but
entirely at the representative of Aus,
tria.
TO show his good intentions Maxi
milan hired the leading theater and
arranged for a great and very costly
performance for the citizens Of Ven
ice. At the hour the opera was to
begin he drove up to the theater and
dismounted, only to find that besides
himself and his staff there was not
a single soul in the place. Later he
discovered that instead Of Venice be-
ing sparse in population the facts
were that the citizens withdrew from
the streets whenever he appeared
abroad. The climax came when he
gave a series Of balls, dinner parties
and entertainments, at the palace and
not single guest Of the thousands in
vited appeared. Shortly afterward
France and Italy together took LON.
hardy away from Austria, and Maxi
milan went home-to prepare for his
tragic fate In Mexico.

SECOND BIRTH FOR JAPANESE
Burial Of Nails, Teeth and Hair, and
Change Of Name Made Official
Another Person.

The following item from the japan
Advertiser reveals one Of the inter-
esting peculiarities Of national Ideas
and customs which continue to lend
variety and interest to world civiliza'
ton. "Burying themselves to escape
death, and then being born again by
the simple process Of changing their
names, Baron and Baroness Ban held
full funeral services for themselves at
the Gyokurinsai temple In Nagoya
recently, erecting a fully engraved
tombstone over their nails, teeth and
hair. The baron now calls himself
Mr.. Kogogureno Otou.
"When Baron Ban was first born
he was far from healthy, and 40 years
was predicted as the extreme limit OF
his life. However, he recently cele-
brated his sixty-sixth birthday, which
brought to his mind that his father
had died at that age, and that no
could probably best avoid his fate at
an early death by bowling to that date
and officially burying as much OF
himself as possible without interfer-
Ing with any of the vital processes"

The eyes Of the creature might have
held a sinister expression could one
have interpreted 1t rightly. But the
performance proceeded to the utmost
satisfaction Of every one. Eager faces
watched every move. Necks craned
forward after the first impression Of
fear was found groundless.
The air in the room was warm. 1t
must have approached In degree that
of the home OF "Ana," and thus served
to bring back the dormant life Of the
tropics. No longer did the reptile
imagine himself stretching headfrst
from the inanimate limb Of q moss
draped tree above the yellow swamp.
He realized that living, warm body
was within his coils, and just now the
girl was wrapping him around her
bare throat. The instinct Of hunger
welled forward. It had been a long
time since the last feed, and "Ana"
was Just beginning to realize 1t.
"Quickl Get i'm offl" blurted the
girl as she felt the reptile tightening
around her neck.
Dave ran to her aid. he tugged
hard to no purpose; the python tight
ened hts grip and the girls face turned
purple. She could make no articulate
sound. Her arms waved violently,
beating the air.
"Help me, for Gods sakel" shouted
the sailor. "Open the window; help
me get her out into the air; It's the
only way to make i'm let CO."
In q minute the window was open
and the girls body was pressed out
into the cool night air. AS by magic
the python stiffened into its apathetic
state, and in another instant was un-
coiled from the girls neck.
Shortly after daylight the next
morning, twenty.four hours after the
docking Of the South American vessel,
Professor Anderton was passing
through q deserted stretch Of pave
ment In Union square. he noticed
bundle that at first seemed merely
pack Of newspapers. Curiosity caused
him to stop and prod the bundle with
the end Of his cane. The paper tore
and he saw the glittering tip Of the
python's tail. A crowd collected, and
q policeman came. In few minutes
the heavy club had ended the life OF
the denizen Of the tropics
BY right Of discovery the professor
claimed the skin, and today he points
to It hanging upon his wall and says:
"rhat's the mystery. How live
python found It's way from the jungle
Of a tropical country to bench In
Union square-that's what I'd like to
know"

Mic. Made Robbery PossIbIs.

"Church mice" notoriously poverty
stricken, occasionally are able to
throw riches in the way Of others. A
thief entered st. Ignatius church, Bal
timore, Nd, the other night and stole
valuable Jewels from a safe In the
rear Of the altar. Inquiry at the, rec
tory developed that to little band
Of playful Church MICE" now dead
and forgotten by their brethren. may
be traced the existence Of circum-
stances which made 1t possible for the
thief to strip the sacred vessels with
out detection. Many years ago a
burglar alarm system was installed
In st. Ignatius in anticipation Of just
such q visitation as the recent one.
One night some mice established q
contact with a concealed element OF
the alarm system and brought the
priests and the police to the scene.
The burglar alarm was disconnected
to prevent a repetition Of the false
alarm. The view was taken by the
priests that there was in existence
scarcely a thief degraded enough to
tamper with the consecrated vessels.

Greek Rulers Unfortunate.

The modern kindom Of the Hellenes
AS Greece Is officially known-has
had FIVE rulers. Not one has served
until his natural death or voluntary

Prince George of Schleswig-H g-Holstein,
who was then called to the throne,
ruled for ffty-one years, but was as
