MANICURE AT ZOO JUNGLETHRILLER One Fright Per Minute for Crowd Watching Keeper. GETS GASH IN HAND / Manicurists Tackle Lions and Tigers, and the Nail Trimming Was Done Without Mishap Until Big Caesar’s Cage Was Reached. Chicago.—lt is not at all an unpleas ant sensation to walk into a manicure shop, sit down opposite a pretty maid, and let her dally with your fingertips for a half hour or so. But to have a rope lasso thrown about your stom ach, be dragged thirty feet across a cage, and then have about two inches of each finger nail clipped off by a pair of wire nippers—well, that's not exactly an enjoyable toilette. However, that is what happened to two tigers and three lions at Lin coln park the other day. The scene was the new animal house at the park, and Keeper Cy De Vry and seven as sistants were in the role of manicur ists. The manicuring started shortly af ter noon, Rajah, the big Bengal tiger, having been selected as the first sub ject. A stage was placed against the outer part of the cage, and on this Keeper De Vry took his place. In his hands he held a long pole with a rope loop at the end of it. After all was in readiness Rajah was driven from the outer to the inner cage and the door was closed after him. Getting into adjoining cages, two of the assistants, John Scullion and John Hegenmiller, shoved a couple of rub ber covered poles in Rajah's face. Whereupon Rajah murmured. But while Rajah was engaged in this, Keeper De Vry pushed the pole with the rope loop on it into the cage. < After fifteen minutes of strenuous ex ertion, he finally managed to get the loop over Rajah’s head and shoulders. It then took the combined efforts of the seven assistants to drag the tiger to the edge of the cage. Here Rajah was again permitted to vent his regal disgust on fresh poles, while Keeper De Vry trimmed the tiger's claw's with the wire nippers. It was a job which required the Tackled the Tiger. utmost caution, for Rajah attempted to do some manicuring himself, Keep er Ik Vry’s hand being his object. The nail trimming was done with out mishap, however, and the mani cure party proceeded to the next cage, occupied by Kitty, Rajah’s better half. She far from conducted herself like a lady of caste, while her husband stood by and roared encouragement to her in her efforts to make a ban quet of the manicurists. In this she tailed to succeed. The party next tackled the lions, King being the first victim. He was disposed of in about half an hour. Then followed Emma Eames, ouce. the sweetest singer in all India llondom. She was a creature of artistic tem perament, and it required about an hour to get her. The reel trouble came when Caesar 1 was reached. Everyone present looked j like a Brutus to him, but he didn’t ■ need a Mark Antony to get people to ! lend their ears. They held their fin gers over 'em most of the time. And, before the Roman emperor’s toilet was completed, there was a deep gash on Keeper De Vry’s right hand. The cut from Caesar’s claw was more than an inch long, and when Keeper De Vry had jerked his hand from the cage several persons gasped in fright and started for the doors. This started a general exodus along the outskirits of the crowd, more than 200 men, women and children running outside. A panic was prevented only by the coolness of several police offi cers. "1 wouldn’t do it again today for a thousand dollars,” said Keeper De Vry, after it was all over and his hand had been properly bandaged. "Whew!" "It’s a necessary proceeding, though. You see, there is no way that a lion or tiger in captivity can keep Its claws worn down, as happens when they roam in the jungle. So we have to clip them every once in a while. But it’s a mighty tough job.” Dog Rescues Child From Rat. Wilkesbarre, Pa. —Attacked by a big sewer rat, Helen Bond, four years old, fled from play in front of her home, pursued by the rodent.

GIRL’S FAITHFUL DOG PUTS HOBO TO ROUT Puppy in Role of Hero When His Mistress Is Attacked by a Tramp. Canal Dover, O. —Rebekah Root is the comely seventeen-year-old daugh ter of Jonathan Root, a farmer whc lives north of town. Her consianl companion in her farm duties is a young bull pup she calls Raleigh. The other day she went early to the wood land near the edge of her father’s farm to pick blackberries. The ripest and juciest picking was along a fence skirting the roadway, and here she bobbed in and out, sometimes in sight, often concealed entirely by the bushes. Raleigh was with her, ol course, but as she seemed to his dog mind to loiter, he amused himself by He Could Not Be Shaken Off. chasing birds and butterflies in the undergrowth back of the fence. While busily engaged in filling her bucket with luscious black beauties, she suddenly popped out in the road way, where she was surprised at be ing confronted by a man. He was young, roughly dressed and of the tramp species. Seeing she was alone he accosted her roughly, asking w'hat she had in her bucket. She pleasant ly told him berries and offered him some, but he grasped her in his arms and began dragging her backward to ward the bushes. She had just time to scream “Raleigh” before his rude hand closed over her mouth, but her cry was enough. The faithful pup, alive with instinct of his kind, abandoned his merry chase of winged playmates, and re sponded almost instantly. As the dog reached the open, and saw his mis tress grappling with a hobo, he knew just what to do. Leaping for the man’s throat he all but landed, but the tramp threw him off, at the same tim< letting go his hold upon the girl Then the flustered and disconcerted young woman witnessed a pretty fight With her berry bucket the fellow sue cesssfully combatted his dogship foi a time, but finally the dog’s teeth be came set in the slack of the man’s trousers, and he could not be shaker off. The girl saved the situation by helping her assailant to get free, anc he ran as fast as he could while sh held her faithful Raleigh and alter nat.ely laughed and cried. LIFTS A TUG OUT OF WATER Huge Whale Tries to Wreck Vessel, Then Chases It for Half >a Mile. Baltimore, Md. —To have their ves sel lifted three feet out of the water and to be later chased over half a mile by an 80-foot whale was the ex perience of Capt. L. M. Smith ana crew of the seagoing tug Defiance, which reached port the other day from the Virginia capes. Captain Smith says the incident oc curred at one o’clock in the afternoon, while the tug was cruising between Cape Henry and False cape, off the Virginia seacoast. “I was lying in my berth at the time and Mate Jack Reese was at the wheel,” said Captain Smith, “when all of a eudden the bow of the tug rose in the air and dropped with a plunge and a terrific roll. When I reached the deck Mate Reese was trying to steady the vessel, which was still roll ing, an& when he recovered his voice, said that he had ran over a whale. "Standing in the pilot house, we watched the whale, which turned around and followed the tug for at least half a mile, then headed toward the beach as if fatally hurt. While the whale was following the tug it lifted about two-thirds of its body out of the water. The fin, huge flukes and almost the entire head were in plain view.” Shark Attacks Tug.

I : RUN OFF THEIR FEET , i ■ Work of “Breaking” Them Immediate -1 ly Begun—A Few Have Proved Too Vicious, But Most of Them Will Be Serviceable to Ride. , Stamford, Mont. —The last herd of , wild horses knotvn to be at large in ! Fergus county have been rounded up. Riders for the "TJ. S.” and “2” outfit, accompanied by State Stock Inspector Kennon, succeeding in subduing the band that has ranged in the lower Ju dith river breaks for ten or twelve years. The band consisted, all told, of about fifty head, but only sixteen of that number could be classified as genuine wild horees. The horses are practically all of thoroughbred origin, being the off spring of Hambletonian and Morgan mares left on the range about twelve years ago by a certain roundup. While inbreeding had left its mark, the ani mals were splendid specimens of their type. Every summer attempts have been made to round them up by am bitious horse hunters, the long chases and the constantly increasing vigilance and timidity of the band tending to keep them hardy and in running trim. When finally captured the horses proved to be smaller than supposed, but every one was reduced to racing flesh, and in the chase none of the cow ponies could match them in speed. The capture was effected by run ning the band off its feet, this being done by relays of cow ponies. After the run had been arranged and the point of approach determined upon, the chase was commenced, and some idea as to the desperation with which the band attempted to evade capture may be gathered from the fact that a 1 distance of 50 miles was traversed in exactly three hours. A few of the less hardy animals dropped out, but not until they were exhausted. The ground over which the chase was made consisted of the breaks and bad lands incident to the merging of Arrow and Flat creeks at the point where they enter the Missouri river, and with the precarious footing thus af- The Chase Was Commenced. | forded many falls by the riders result ed. Throughout the entire distance the band followed a practice of racing from one hilltop to another, evidently endeavoring to secure an advantageous viewpoint. Always in the lead was a black stallion, and it is a matter of re . gret that he did not survive the chase. L He became entangled In a wire fence and had to be shot. , Although the band has been running ( over ten years, few if any of the ani , mals were over seven years of age, the explanation being that the older ones were killed in the hunts of previous years. One taken bore two big scars ’ from bullet wounds. The chase was brought to a close at ! a corral!, into which all of the horses were driven and roped. Ten seasoned ! riders were employed in the hunt. Sev ! eral of the cow ponies were made prac ' tically worthless from overexertion in ! the run. ! Immediately after the corralling had’ 1 been accomplished the task of £reak ’ ing the wild horses was begun. While a few proved too vicious to be con • quered entirely, the majority will make serviceable riding stock. ! ’ ! TOO MUCH FOR THIS GOAT [ Pennsylvania Senator's Pet Dies After . Eating Record of Investigating Committee Proceedings. I , Wilkesbarre, Pa. —Senator Sterling R. Gatlin several months ago received a goat from his friend, Dr. C. F. Church. The senator, who is a lover of animals, took the goat to his home ’ and made a pet of it. The other day l Mr. 'Catlin was called away from his ’ stock room to answer the telephone. I and when he returned, he found the goat had devoured a lot of valuable papers which were being kept on re cord. In the lot were the Philadel phia proceedings of the senatorial in vestigating committee, of which Sen ? ator Catlin was the chairman. The Luzerne county lawmaker was 5 much put out, but he did not get an -5 gry with the goat, which showed signs of sickness. Instead, he sent for a veterinary doctor, but before the latter arrived the goat died. Mr s Catlin thinks the animal was poi ' soned by ink on the paper. > Lightning’s Freak.

THE FROSTBURG SPIRIT, FROSTBURG, MD. 15 MEDIEVAL CITY Architecture in Danzig Is of the Middle Ages. West Prussian Town Is a Perfect Architectural Type of Ancient Period and Its Newest Buildings Conform to This Character. Berlin. —Danzig, West Prussia, is the perfect architectural type of a me dieval city, showing a historic integrity with which the stormy fates of many centuries have dealt most kindly. Even its newest buildings are made to con form to this character so as not to dis turb the impression of unity. One feels the pride which these energetic and prosperous burghers of the thirteenth and fourteenth century had in all the appointments and arrangements of their famous town. We hear-of it first in 997, when a jjplf? jpkjjliji n §p| jji I? Medieval Architecture. Bohemian archbishop sailed from here to preach to the heathen Prussians farther east, a long time before the more direct evangelistic methods of the Teutonic order were applied. Its political allegiance was often shifted, and one feels sure that no merely ideal considerations of loyalty were ever al lowed to stand in the way of the inter ests of its trade. After the rise of the Teutonic order Danzig became a part of its great ter iltory, though reserving a large share of self-government; it was at the same time an independent member of the powerful Hansa league—that supreme example of civic and commercial pow er. It joined its sister cities of the league very effectively in fighting for eign nations and pirates against its commerce. When it tired of subjec tion to the waning Teutonic order, it entered into a sort of protectorate un der the kings of Poland, who annexed j it in 1569. Only as late as 1793 was it I taken into ip is now the j capital of the west Prussian region. The town is very compact and prac ! tical in its plan, making an almost per fect oval fretted by many waterways, so as to have distinctly Venetian fea tures. It reaches to the Vistula and is traversed by several branches of the River Motilau, while the little stream Radaune makes a useful canal in a long half circle through the city. One large island is given up entirely to grain elevators, affectionately named ‘‘Vesta,” “The Red One” and so on. Opposite this island is the swarming ’Long bridge”—not a bridge at, all, but a dock, where freights are landed, and from which the smartest of steam ers are leaving at all hours for adja cent points on the Baltic, particularly for the popular bathing beaches of Zoppot and Hela. In the moving panorama of this water front one gets the best epitome of the life of the city. All around its edge, Danzig is a citadel rather than a town. Mountain ous grass covered modern forts rise on the west, and on the east the oval is continuously fringed by radiating bastions, completely bordered by deep double moats filled from the waters of the Mottlau. Each of these bastions has its own personal name—“the brown horse,” "the unicorn,” “Ger trude,” “the rabbit,” “jumpout.” LAND THAT WONT STAY PUT -l Queer Freaks of Formation Noted by a Forester In the State of Washington. Olympia, Wash. —State Forester E. W. Ferris, who has just returned from Skamanta county, reports peculiar geologic changes in the country around Stevenson. “In this piece of state land alternate risings and depressions have made the trees all crisscross until they look like they were trying to do a split,” said the forester. “But in the country in the vicinity there are even more peculiar conditions. “In one case a watercourse has been raised suddenly so that one end of the stream bed was left twenty feet in the air In another a piece of a mountain, trees and all, apparently has dropped flat into the ground leaving a bare cliff where there was a gradual slope. There are deep cracks appearing in the bedrock and in some cases of these depressions boulders and trees are split right through the middle, the two parts being feet apart. “A Mr. Bowles connected his house with a water tank and in two years' the house and tank “hunched” togeth er so that it was necessary, three times, to remove a length of pipe. J. W. Shaw of Vancouver told me he owned a lake in the neighborhood and that on driving out to it one day he scarcely recognized it because a big island had appeared in the center. Meantime an altogether new lake had appeared a few miles aw r ay where there never had been water before.” The changes noticed have all oc curred within the last two years. As a Man Eats, So Is He.
