TAMING Wild) BEASTS THE QUALITIES THAT ARE ESSENTIAL IN A TRAINER. Bib]nftatlnv a Lion Inn Task. That CalU For Something; More Than Mere Courage—The Trainer I'iei a ( hair, but Not to Sit On. The wild beast tamer as generally pictured is a mysterious person who stalks about sternly In high boots and possesses a remarkable power of the eye that makes lions and tigers quail at his look and shrink away. He rules by fear, and the crack of his whip is supposed to bring memories of tortur ing points and redhot Irons. Such is the story book lion tamer, and I may as well say at once that out side of story books he has small exist ence. There is scarcely any truth In this theory of hate for hate and con quest by fear. It Is no more fear that makes a lion walk on a ball than it Is fear that makes a horse pull a wagon. It is habit. The lion is perfectly will ing to walk on the ball, and he has reached that mind, not by cruel treat ment, but by force of his trainer's pa tience and kindness and superior intel ligence. Of course, a wild beast tamer should have a quick eye and delicate sense of hearing, so that he may be warned of a sudden spring at him or a rush from behind, and It Is Important that he be a sober man, for alcohol breaks the nerve or gives a false courage worse than folly, but the quality on which he must chiefly rely and which alone cau make him a great tamer—not a second rate bungler—is a genuine fondness for tils animals. This does uot mean that the animals will necessarily be fond of the tamer; some will be fond of him, some will be Indifferent to him. some will fear and hate hitn. Nor will the trainer's foud uess protect him from fang and claw. We see that there Is danger always, ac cident often, but without the fondness there would be greater dauger and more frequent accident. A fondness for lions and tigers gives sympathy for them, and understanding gives mastery Ui HIT!"!!!, "I" US TTIUCn llltt.Mri J lt?J keep a tninn r w-ltn HIS ani mals, not only in the public show (the easiest part), but In the dens, in the treacherous runaway, in the strange night hours, in the early morning romp.* when no one Is looking, when there is no reason for being with them except the tamer's own joy in it? 1 do not purpose to present in detail the methods of taming wild beasts, rather what happens after they are tamed: but I may say that a lion tamer always begins byspendiug weeks or months in gaining a new animal's oonlidence. Day after day he will stand for a long time outside the cage, merely looking at the lion, talking to him, impressing upon the beast a general familiarity with his voice and person. And each time, as he goes away, lie is careful to toss a piece of meat as a pleasant memento of his visit. Later he ventures inside the bars carrying some simple weapon— a wnip, a rod, perhaps a broom, "which is more formidable than might be supposed, through the Jab of its sharp bristles. One tamer used a common chair with much success against unbroken lions. If the creature came at him, there were the four legs in his face, and soon the chair came to represent boundless power to that ignorant lion. He feared It and bated it, as was seen on one occasion when the tamer left it in the cage and the lion promptly tore it into splinters. Days may pass before the lion will let his tamer do more than merely stay inside the cage at a distance. Very well; the tamer stays there. lie waits hour after hour, week after week, until a time comes when the lion will let him move nearer, will permit the touch of his hand, will come forward for a piece of meat, and at last treat him like a friend, so that finally he may sit there quite at ease and even read his newspaper, as one man did. begins the practice of tricks. The lion must spring to a pedestal and be fed, he must jump from one pedestal to another and be fed, must keep a cer tain pose and be fed. A bit of meat is always the final argument, and the tamer wins (if he wins at all, for he sometimes falls) by patience and kind ness. "There is no use getting aDgry with a lion," said a well known tamer to me, "and there is no use In carrying a re volver. If you shoot a lion or injure him with any weapon, It Is your loss, for you must buy another Hon, and the chances are that he will kill you any way, if he starts to do it.

Sir Reginald de Cuthbert, returning j from the Holy Land, belated lu a forest sauk 011 the ground to sleep. ITe arose and perceiving a light went toward it. Arriving at a castle gate he ; knocked. No answer was returned, but j he felt an ice cold baud seize him aud pull him on. Presently his guide left him. Horror and a chilly terror shook his whole i frame. The awful stillness which sur- j ! rounded him was still uninterrupted. The knight was tlsed to the ground, J wildly staring through the lmpenetra-1 ble darkness. At length a hollow sound was heard, which seemed at a great ; distance. After a long pause it vibrated i iu hia ear a second time. The idea that ! he had nothing more to lose aud that every means of effecting an escape i from that residence of horror was cut off entirely, subdued his fear and | prompted him to follow that sound. A few paces on brought him to a stone staircase. Having descended five steps, a doleful groan seemed to pro ceed from a room not far distant The knight advanced slowly nnd with the utmost circumspection, musing on his perilous situation, when at once he felt the passage obstructed by a door which opened without difficulty. The room to which It led was also a j residence of darkness and dismal si lence. The knight was resolved to enter it boldly. Fortunately, lie examined the entrance with his foot befor® be pro ceeded, and found with unspeakable horror that it was bottomless. The hollow, dismal sound again struck his ear from a small distance. He shuddered violently and staggered forward. Everything was now lonely and silent all around. At length he came to a second staircase, ascended seven steps aud then descended as I many, when his eyes suddenly beheld a 1 faint glimmer of light which seemed to emerge from below at a great dis tance. Coming nearer, the knight ob served that lie was standing on the brink of a deep abyss, from which the glimmer broke forth. An old half rot ten staircase led down. He, however, resolved to risk everything nnd, pull ing off his shoes to avoid making a sound, began to descend. When he came to the eighth step, the hollow sound was again repeated. The knight stopped a moment and then went on with returning courage. When he had reached the middle, the light suddenly disappeared, and im penetrable darkness surrounded him once more. He stopped to consider what could be done, when a stone got loose beneath his feet and rolled down with a thun dering noise ngainst the door of the vault. | "Who disturbs my rest?" the hollow, well known voice exclaimed. Sir Reginald was riveted to the | ground in dread expectation. Terror sealed his lips. The door of the vault ! opened slowly, and a pale white figure appeared enveloped in a blaze of red light. It advanced two steps, lifted up one hand in a menacing manner and disappeared, ine signt ot tnis oreau- I ful apparition almost petrified Sir Regi ] nald on the spot. Is senses seemed to j forsake him, and the blood congealed within his veins. The knight, having recovered a little the use of his senses, with difficulty re | gained the top of the steps and from thence perceived a passage quite dif ferent from the other, and, following It, he arrived at the foot of a spiral | staircase. forcibly against It with his right hand and shattered a glass pane into a thou sand pieces. "Who is there?" a rough voice ex claimed. At the same time a door opened, and a most alarming discourse filled the knight with dismal apprehen sions. "Have you sharpened the knife?" one of the talkers asked. "Yes; it is bright and sharp," replied the other voice. "Ills blood shall flow abundantly." With these words the door burst open. Horror and despair now winged Sir Reginald's steps. He flew down the staircase, and had scarcely reached the bottom when he was again seized by the icy cold hand which he felt on his entrance in that abode of terror. The knight's senses seemed leaving him when he came to with a start tc find himself drenched to the skin, clutching his sword with both hands, while Ids faithful steed was licking his face, trying to make him get up and continue his journey.

Aubrey's Ki<le Wn« the Greatest Physical Achievement Ever Accom plished lu This Country—Frontier*- ; man Jim Moore's Hard Hide. The greatest physical achievement ever accomplished in this country was the ride of F. X. Aubrey from the plaza of Santa Fe, N. M., to the Pub lic square at Independence, Mo., a dis tance of nearly 800 miles, through a country inhabited by warlike Indians, a large part of which was then a san dy desert. It was about the year 1851 that Aubrey gave his wonderful test of human endurance, before which all other attempts of the kind pale into Insignificance. He was a short, heavy set man, 38 years of age, in the prime of manhood and strength. Ilia business for ten years as a Santa Fe trader had made him perfectly fa miliar with the trail and all the stop ping places. He was a perfect horse man, and, although there were great riders In those days, none of them cared to dispute the palm with Au brey. On a wager of SI,OOO he undertook to ride alone from Santa Fe to Inde pendence Inside of six days. It was without a thought of fear that he un dertook the terrible feat. It was to be the supreme effort of his life, and he sent half a dozen of the swiftest horses ahead, to be stationed at different points for use In the ride. Ho left Santa Fe In a sweeping gallop, and that was the paco kept up during near ly every hour of the time until he fell fainting from his foam covered horse in the square at Independence. No man could keep up with the rider, and he would have killed every horse in the west rather than have failed in the undertaking. It took him just 5 days and 19 hours to perform the feat, and it cost the lives of several of his best horses. After being carried Into a room in the old hotel at Independence Aubrey lay for 48 hours in a dead stupor before he came to his senses. He would never have recovered from the 6hock had it not been for his wonderful constitu tion. The feat was unanimously re garded by western men as the greatest exhibition of strength and endurance ever known on the plains. The ride of Jim Moore, a noted fron tiersman of the pioneer days, is also worthy of mention. Moore was a man of almost perfect physique. In fact, by military standards he was a model. He weighed IGO pounds, stood 5 feet 10 inches, straight as an arrow, with good neck well set on hla shoulders, small waist, but good loins, and had the limbs of a thoroughbred. No finer looking man physically ever rode a broncho than Jim Moore. He could run like an Indian, was as active as a panther, the best natured man in the world, but as courageous as a lion. In the early sixties Moore was a pony express rider. His route was from Midway station, half way between Fort Kearney and Cottonwood Springs, to Julesburg, a distance of 140 miles. Moore rode the round trip of 280 miles once a week. The stations were from 10 to 14 miles apart, and a fresh horse of Spanish blood was obtained at each station. There was little delay In these changes of horses, as the rider gave the "coyote yell" half a mile away, and, day or night, the station men had the pony ready, so that the rider had only to dismount from one horse and mount the other, and with a dig of the spurs he was on a run again. This ride of 140 miles usually was made In 12 hours. easy as it may seem to some for a man to be stride fresh horse after horse for 140 miles, there were few men able to stand up to it. Upon the occasion of which I am to speak Moore's route partner had been ailing, and Moore was anticipating and dreading that he might have to doubl# the route. In this anticipation he real ized that there is a time limit to endur ance, and therefore he gave the bron chos a little more of the steel than usual and made the trip to Julesburg in 11 hours. Arriving at Julesburg, he had his fears confirmed. His partner was In bed. He had hoped that he might have a few hours for rest, but before he had time to dismount and stretch his cramped and tired muscles the "coyote yell" of the east going rid er was heard. He drank some cold coffee, filled his pocket with cold meat and was in the saddle again for another 140 mile ride. In order to be able to live the route out he sent them for all there was In them, with the result that he arrived at Mid way, after having ridden 280 miles, in 22 hours from the time he had left there. Ben Holliday gave him a gold watch and a certificate of his remark able performance. Many of the old frontiersmen now living knew Moore, knew of his 280 mile ride in 22 hours and have seen the watch and certifl j cate.—Spirit of the Times. A NEW CHAIN STOPPER. Rfmple hot I'seful Contrivance la vented by a Wisconsin Man. Michael A. Drees of Feshtlgo, Wis., has invented a simple appliance by which a chain can be easily and effect ively stopped and which can be read ily released notwithstanding the strain to which the chain may be subjected, says The Scientific American. The device comprises a body having oppositely arranged openings. The cor responding openings of the top and bottom lugs are in alignment with each other. These lugs are designed to THE DREES CHAIN STOPPER. receive the unequal legs of a stopper bar. The two legs are connected by an eyepiece, through which a rope Is pass ed, whereby the stopper bar can be withdrawn. The one leg of the stop per bar is about twice as long as the other, so that when the stopper bar is withdrawn to op<'ii position the shorter leg will be moved out of the space be tween the lugs When the stopper bar is moved to the locked position shown in the gener al perspective view, both of the legs will lie across the space between the lugs. One end of the chain is attached to flu- longer leg of this stopper bar, the other end of the chain being pro vided with a key which can be inserted in an opening in the end of the shorter l<'g. so as to lock the stopper bar in po sition. Thus locked, the two legs strad dle the '•bain. When the stopper bar Is moved to open position, the chain is released. The Panther's ...Revenge. Old Myers, the ranther, was a man of iron constitution, of great power of ' bone and muscle anil an indomitable | courage that knew no mixture of fear. ! lie settled in Illinois when that region [ was inhabited by Indians and soon took ' u leading part among them. One day ' when 011 a hunting excursion with them a river lay in their way which ' must be crossed at a single point. When they arrived at this point, they suddenly came upon a huge panther, which had taken possession of the pass, and like a skillful general, confident of his strong position, seemed determined to hold It. Tho party retreated a little and stood at bay for a while and con sulted what should be done. Myers urged the chief, whose rifle was loaded, to march close to the pan ther and shoot him, promising support if the shot failed, but the chief de clined. All the Indians likewise re fused a duty almost sure to bring death. At last Myers, in a burst of anger and Impatience, called them all a set of cowards and, snatching the loaded rifle from the hands of tho chief, to the amazement of the whole party, march ed deliberately toward the panther. The Indians kept at a cautious distance to watch the result of the fearful bat tle. Myers walked steadily up to with in about two rods of the panther, keep ing his eyes fixed upon him, while the eyes of the panther flashed fire and hia heavy growl betokened nt onco the power and firmness of tho animal. At about two rods' distance Myers leveled his rifle, took deliberate aim and fired. The shot Inflicted a heavy wound, but not a fatal one, and the furious animal, maddened with the pain, made two leaps before he reached his assailant. Myers met him with the butt end of his rifle and staggered him a little with two or three heavy blows, but the rifle broke, and the animal grappled him apparently with his full power. Tho Indians at once gave Myers up for dead and only thought of making a timely retreat for themselves. Fearful was the struggle between Myers and the panther, but the animal had the best of It at first, for they soon came to the ground, Myers under neath, suffering under the joint opera tion of sharp claws and teeth applied by the most powerful muscles. In fall ing, however, Myers, whose right hand was at liberty, had drawn a long knife. As soon as they came to the ground, his right arm being free, he made a desperate plunge at the vitals of the animal and, as good luck would have It, reached his heart. The loud shrieks of the panther showed that it was a death wound. He quivered convulsive ly, shook his victim with a spasmodic leap and plunge, then loosened his hold and fell powerless by his side. Myers, whose wounds were severe, but not mortal, rose to his feet, bleeding and much exhausted, but with life and strength to give a grand whoop which conveyed the news of his victory to his trembling Indian friends. They now came up to him with shout ing and joy and so full of admiration that thev were almost readv to worship him. They dressed and bound up his wounds and were now ready to pursue their journey home without the least Impediment. Before crossing the river, however, Myers cut off the head of tho panther, which he took home with him and fastened It up by the side of his cabin door, where it remained for years, a memorial of a deed that ex cited the admiration of the Indians in all that region. From that time forth »(fmN5S r !'&'!f l <^ a,e an * The Illack Hawk war broke out, and the Indians murdered Myers' brother iu-law, wife and three children. Myers without a word girded on his toma hawk and scalping knife and shoulder ed his loaded rifle and at open mid day silently and alone bent his steps toward the Indian encampment. With a fearless and firm tread he marched directly inio the midst of the assembl elevated his rifle at the head of the principal chief present and shot him dead on the spot. He then deliberately severed the head from the trunk, and holding it up by the hair before the awe stricken multitude, he exclaimed: "You have murdered my brother-in law, his wife and their little oues, and now 1 have murdered your chief. 1 am now even with you. But now mind, every one of you that Is found here to morrow morning at sunrise is a dead Indian." Believing their chief had fallen a vic tim to some unseen power, they were stupefied with terror and looked on without even a thought of resistance. Myers bore off the head in triumph to his cabin, where he was welcomed by his anxious friends almost as one re turning from the dead. Tho next morn ing not an Indian was to be found any where In the vicinity. Their camps were deserted, and they left forever their ancient haunts and their dead, and that part of the state was not mo lested by them afterward. I.emou Juice. An English scientist In writing of lemons says dietetic science tells us that the juice contains acids in con siderable quantities, among which are citric acid, malic acid and sugar, and that the rind affords a volatile oil.
