King of Beasts Perhaps he may
have lived up to his traditional
title Of nobility in the days Of the Bible but
I have always thought of him as sort of

when he thinks he can attack without too

a full-grown lion is interesting Each has a
personality peculiar to himself and ike the

out any warning whatsoever
We had, one season, q remarkably fine
specimen of the African species. He was we'll
formed. well grown with a handsome head
and shoulders covered with q fine daTxish
name. He was much admired and was often
referred TO by nAtuTalists q typical king
Of beasts, by reason Of his haughtiness and
dgniffed bearing. Brt right there you could
Let your praise of him end His disposition
was as uneven as a cross-cut saw and he was
source of constant worry to his trainer.
He had killed one man and wounded sew
eral others so powerful were his paws and SO
quick he became in striking between the bars
an times. Kindness had no effect on him
whatever. Special dainties he took with a
growl watching all the time for an oppor-
tunity to grab and tear the giver. To attempt
any sort of punishment discipline with this
beast would have been fatal The only safe
method of handling Caesar, as he was called,
was TO keep him perfectly quiet, and make him
as comfortable and happy possible with
good food, clean cage and another lion for
company.
THE second lion was at first separated from
the Suriy Caesar by an iron partition, as
just a little anxious as to how he
w0uld be received On opening day we de-
cided TO transfer both lions TO a larger cage
where they would have more space and com
fort, and also have a better opportunity of
beng seen.

Crowds of people had f1ocked to the city and
everything promised a huge success for our
show. We ran one of our big cages on wheels
up TO the one containing Caesar and his mate
placed them door to door, dropped lasso over
the quiet lions neck and by gentle twitches
induced him to enter the big cage. Then we
tried the same tactics with Caesar who soon
demonstrated that he vas made of different

from his tawny body and tore madly up and
down the cage though possessed of the
strength of 60 demons.
We waited until he stopped to roar "a lion.
by the way, never roars while in notion and
once more slipped the moose over his maiestys
neck With a terrific wrench and twist he
gok himself free and sprang into the adjoining
cage so suddenly and fercely that he caused
