An incident occurred in connection
with the Midwinter International Expo
sition a few days ago which furnished an
interesting commentary on its interna
tional character, and whloh established
in an unmistakable manner the fact that
this great fair follows, in many respects,
the lines laid down by it* illustrious
predecessor on the shores o f Lake Michi
gan, and that at the same time, it pós
eseos an individuality which will give it
a prominent place in the future history
of the expositions of the world.
One of the most prominent concess
ional features of the exposition ha* lieen
the W ild Animal Arena where Colonel
E. Daniel Boone has lieen givin g per
formance« with lions and other animals,
which is said by those who have seen
both to surpass the famous show given
by Hngenbeck on the Midway in Chi
cago. Boone had an assistant in this
work in the person of Carlo Thieman, a
| brave, bold tamer of lions, who was
only less fam iliar and less foolhardy, if
jone may use that word, than Boone
! himself, in his associations with these
big beasts. But, one night last week,
j Thieman entered the den o f the lions to
prepare them for their nsual appearanee
in the Arena, when suddenly the lights
went out. Parnell, the biggest of the
lions, fearful perhaps o f some danger
which he could not see, made a savage
j attack on the keeper. The other lions
fell to with him and poor Thieman waa
at their mercy in a moment. Boone, the
master of the tleasts, forced his way into
the cage with a crowbar and lieat the
j angry lions back, but not until Thieman
had sustained such injuries that his
death followed on the morrow.
It was Thieman’s funeral that fnr-
j niahed the commentary at the opening
o f this letter.
It was certainly a most
impressive scene.
Poor Thieman did
j not have a relative in ail this great
America, but his employer, Boone, was
fiis warm personal friend, and all who
worked with him admired his courage
and his personality. Tims it came about
| that the funeral o f the lion tamer was
I so notable. It took place in the animal

must infer that a great part of the seed

plant. W ith a possible yield of several

American farmers that they go along
year after year contentedly reaping a
tenfold or twelvefold crop of 75-cent
wheat. In some sections of the North
west certain advanced »lie a t gro»-ers
have reduced the amount of seed sown,
