Keeper William Blackburn here to
assist in separating a mother tiger

had no desire to be bothered with in
fants and would slap them all over
the place every time she was left alone
with her brood.

blank pistol and loaded pistol, went
into the cage to distract the tigress,

portunity. The tigress looked at Mr.
Livezey in nasty way and he pushed
the chair in her face While she was
getting over this surprise Mr.. Black
burn grabbed the cubs and beat it to
the door. Mad as hops, the tigress
then took jump in Mr.. Lvezey's di-
rection. He fired the blank pistol and
that burned her. enabling Mr.. L. to

Life; Charges Unfair
Policy

]. w. Pate has entirely relin-
pushed his connection with the
Palladium National Life Insurance
Co. of Minneapolis. Mr.. Pate ended
Tuesday a connection with the
firm which lasted for several years.
In that period he insured several
hundred colored pohcyholders.
His activity is considered respon-
sible for the present popularity of
the Palladium National Life In
surance Co. with the people of the
Twin Cities.
Mr.. Pate said his leaving was
due to a change of policy by the
company which he considered def
nitely unfair to the colored policy
holders and prospective policy
holders.
