RHODA ROYAL TALKS ABOUT
WILD BEASTS
Many Trained Animals With Big
Show In Tallulah Monday
November Il

"Of all animals that are trained for
show performances, the elephant Is
the most intelligent"
The above statement was made to
q Journal reporter this week by Rhoda
Royal, of Rhoda Royals gigantic
three-ring show, menageries, hippo
drome and trained animal exhibition,
combined with the Old Buffalo Bill
wild West, which will give afternoon
and night performance in Tallulah
Monday, November FL.
Rhoda Royal ought to know, for he
has been an animal trainer ever since
he has been a boy in his teens, and
ranks as the most proficient and ex.
pert trainer of animals in the United
States. Among other interesting
things, Mr.. Royal said:
elephants learn with phenomenal
quickness and they do not show that
aversion to their tricks that the ami
mails of the cat family exhibit. have
seAn elephants practice different
tricks voluntarily-when they didn't
know that anybody was around.
Speaking Of cat animals, Mr.. Roysl
"About seven weeks are required q
teach Q trained lion or bear o trick
while little longer time Is necessary
to teach a leopard or a tiger"
It is the opinion Of Rhoda Roya
that the above named animals have
even more capicity for learning thar
the horse. He said that, while q tigel
can be taught to walk upon its hint
legs in three or four months, it vii
require q much longer period Of tim'
to teach horse to do the same trick
The famous Rhoda Royal herd q
performing elephants will be seen !!
the grand free street parade which
will move over the principal thorough
fares of Tallulah November FL, at II
o'clock in the morning. The parade
will also contain a drove Of camel
and numerous open cages Of lion
and other cat animals, llamas, bear
and other beasts from the wild places
of the four corners Of the earth.
Immediately after the parade Their
will be q free exhibition on the SHOW
grounds. The doors will be throw
open at 1 and z o'clock P. NJ, and tn
performances will begin at 2 and
o'clock P. NJ.

the announcement that the British had taken
the port and that "all was lost" she replied:

Of the Trainer Of this body of laws to make
its provisions so general that they could and
would be engrafted into the statutes of other
European states.
"a Code of Legal Procedure" was part Of
the program of the Constitution Of 1891, but
the Revolutionary Assemblies were not sue
cessful in framing laws and no coherent
scheme for the unifcation of the legislation
of the nation was formulated until the con-
vention, when the material that had been
collected during the Royalist period was
sifted and such part as was deemed desirable
was selected from the mass Of French legal
literature Of the time and adopted. French
Jurisprudence is based upon Roman law; the
Code is in reality linking together of the
ancient French laws with the revolutionary
enactments Collecting the best legal minds
of the day, Napoleon brought together the
varying statutes from the various little po-
Htical regions Of the state-398 arrondisse-
ments, Of which had individual rules and reg
