"That's pretty hard to tell," said the barber. "Of course it is. Eut you've been in the business how long?" "Fifteen years." "Yon ought to know by this time bout how many etrokes of the razor it requires to shave a man, supposing that you go over his face a seoond time." "I might make a guess at it."

X once bad a trainer, an old Irish man, who had served in a British regi ment In India and who knew the ways of tigers in every detail. He taught three of them to do more work in the show arena than I have ever seen done by tigers. I have seen him sitting down between two of them at rest times during rehearsals and examining their claws to see If any of them were sore or split. Any oue who has ever tried that with evn a house cat knows that It strikes the feline nature as an unwarrantable familiarity, , but they never did more than show helr teeth and whine, and that in half playful ness. One day he got very drunk. I had never known him to transgress before. Before he was noticed on his return to the cage he had gone in with bis tl gera and fallen In a heap on the floor. The other keepers tried to take him out of the cage, but to have done so would have meant a bitter and bloody light with the three striped ones. They guarded him all night in his drunken slumber. The next time he put them to work, however, they balked, and he could neither persuade nor drive them They bad ceased to trust him, or some thing of that sort, and bis usefulness with them was at an end completely.
