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

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. The thing is
to keep him from starting."—Cleveland

A Noble knight's
.... Adventure.
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

TWO FAMOUS RIDERS
STRIKING FEATS OF ENDURANCE IN
THE PIONEER DAYS OF THE WEST.
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.

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

sition. Thus locked, the two legs strad

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.

An Incident SliovrinK the Milltarj
Courage of the Montenegrin.
In military courage the Montenegrii
probably stands at the head of Euro
pean races. The best wish for a babj
I boy is, "May you not die In your bed!' 1
j and to face death is, toman or boy,
j only a joyous game. Says W. J. Still
man in his "Autobiography:"
I have seen a man under a heavy
Turkish fire deliberately leave the
| trenches and climb the breastwork,
only to expose himself from sheet
| bravado..
While lying at headquarters at Orea
-1 buk, awaiting the opening of the cam
! paign in 18T7, I was walking one day
■ with the prince, when a boy of 10 or IS
approached us, cap in hand,
j "Now," said the prince, "I'll show you
| an interesting thing. This boy is the
last of a good family. His father and
j brothers were all killed in the last bat-
I tie, and 1 ordered him togo home and
| stay with his mother and sisters, that
the family might not become extinct."
The boy drew near and stopped be
fore us, his head down, his cap In hand.
"What do you want?" asked the
prince.
"I want togo back to my battalion."
"But," said the prince, "you are the
last of your line, and I cannot allow a
good family to be lost. You must go
home and take care of your mother."
The boy began to cry bitterly.
"Will you go home quietly and stay
there," said the prince, "or will you
take a flogging and be allowed to
fight?"
The boy thought for a moment. A
flogging, he knew well, is the deepest
disgrace that can befall a Montenegrin.
"Well," he broke out, "since it isn't
for stealing, I'll be flogged."
"No," said the prince, "you must go
ho r
Then the boy broke down utterly.
"But," he cried, "I want to avenge
my father and brothers!"
He went away still crying, and the
prince said: "In spite of all this he
will be In the next battle."
