Eli PASO HERALD vlS MOTHER TO A LION RAISES CUB ON BOTTLE Miss Mable Stark and Hero.

Barnes Wild Animal circus, which will be here October 3U-3I. Not from necess:ty. but through her love of studying animal psychology. Miss Stark Is a circus wild animal trainer, one of the most remarkable, it is said. In the world. Slight of build, refined and womanly, she possesses what seems to be hypnotic power over the lions ana tigers she handles. The young woman insists, however, that it is merely animal psychology put into practical application. Nero, the cub which vMiss Stark took under her care, is now an immense lion weighing COO pounds, ami he obeys every order his friend and train er gives him. Miss Stark has taught this young lion to ride a horse, jump through hoops of fire, work with domestic animals: in fact, do almost anything his trainer's fancy dictates. The beast knows his trainer well and follows her about. Miss Stark has frequently led him through city streets with a dog chain. The animal has never known any thing hut caresses, never has felt the lash, and is as docile with this slip of a girl as a kitten. BEET BOOSTER COBpiTED "W. B.

The discussion between buyer and seller ran somewhat as follows: "Sbe't. an awfully pood old cow. Our chil dren think the world of her. You'll like her immf-rely." "And how much milk does she give"? "LKm't knou exaiti. but she g a nice coiv first clas " "Well. ou must haw some idea does she give a gallon at a milking"? "Couldn't sy definitely. She's an awfly good. kind, old cow. though.

They are in a class of their own. different from act ors, grand opera singers and other show folks. First of all they are exquisitely in genuous. The frankness with which they tell about themselves and their work is what might be expected from a child, not a grown person. Other artists may love their art. but the circus artist thinks it is absolutely the only thing in the world that is worth while or Is worth talking about. The spirit of youth is in the very at mosphere of the Sells-Floto circus, which is coming in a few days, and Elsie Ryan, a beautiful bareback rider, seems Mke a child in her fluffy skirt and long curls. Really Very Hainan. "Back of the curtain and away from ih gleam and glitter is another world, and we're really very human." says Allies Ryan. "Most of us are born Into ir'us life, and wouldn't leave It for anything in the world, althougn it means constant work. "I know nothing of the requirements for the care of a singer or an actress' a- romplishmei.t. hui 1 do know that a rider, as 1 am, must always be at the height of physical perfection, strength and agility and also must possess youth, beauty and grace, and consequently cannot mix with late suppers and all the alleged joys of the after-play par ties. It is eternal practice with us. "Each day when I am not rehearsing with my horses, I take a certain amount of time for exercises which I have In vented to k'-e? myself at my best. ' Kver bareback rider, every aerial performer, in fact, etery performer in tne arena has ltarned the rudiments of their work when they were children and when their muscles were receptive to training, and as we grow older our muscles must be kept supple by con stant athletic training. And we all know that it is lonvr practice that makes perfect." lint They re Fenilnlne. The women of thf circus are won derful specimens of womanhood. They hae developed the physical being to its highest state and achieved feats of great daring and matrelous sfcilL Y?t tbey are just ab feminine as their sisters of the e eryday world, are these omen whose applause is won by their i ing and arenic accomplishments. In the host of people who live under the canvas of the Sells-Floto circus. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Relieves Chronic Case of Long Standing.
