erie two months ago, with the elephant,
the boa constrictor and the antelope.
The circus often sends such animals
to the park for the winter. The ele-
phant and the boa constrictor thrived
and grew fat: the antelope languished;
the lion pined away. His eyes were
lull and sad. and the keepers saw he
was suffering, but lie did not roar or
cry.
About two weeks ago he began to
stagger up and down his cage, as if
his legs were too weak for his body.
Then, instead of walking on the un
Jer part of his toes, he doubled them
and walked on his talons. When Felix
McDonald, the superintendent of the
circus menagerie. called at the park,
attention was called to the lion's con-
iition. He decided that the lion's
brain was affected, and that he must
be killed.
Chloroform was chosen at first, but
after more deliberation it was decided
to shoot him. At 2 o'clock one
afternoon the execution took place
The keeper's gathered in front of the
cages and stood there with grave faces.
The lion had stretched himself out to
his full length, four feet from nose to
tail tip, and his eyes were turned full
upon the men. He was as motionless
as a bronze figure. One of the keep-
ers raised a rifle and held the muzzle
within a few feet of the lion s ear.
There was a flash and a loud report.
The lion's head fell an <1 remained mo-
