"Is your lifo Insured ? " asked a Republican publican reporter of George Oonklin , the lion tamer and elephant broakoi of the circus now In winter quarton &t the fair grounds , "No , I have not got a dollar on it , I'm not a good risk , and the com. puniea won't write me. " "How do yon fool when yon entei the den of the lions and tigers ? " "I try not to think of anything , bnl Boon fcol the excitement , which gradually becomes a delirium. Some time ago I was putting a family ol looparciu through their performance , and , whllo working ono of them , an other fastened her fanga In the rear part of my thigh , und yet , through the oxoltomont , I never felt the pain. Indeed , it was only when I turned round to engage ono of the other ani mals that I found the brute had me fast , but I cowed her down. This , however , cannot always bo done , and as an instance of this I recall the death of my friend florr Longol , oi Philadelphia. I received this ex. tract from ono of my Australian cor respondents : " 'Mr. G. A. Courtney , proprietor and manager of the zoological circus boariug his name , wrote from San Domingo , W. L , September 10 , ae under : List night at 10 o'clock the well known lion tamer , Herr Elijah Longol , of Philadelphia , Pa.j entered the don of the Brazilian tigers attach ed to the circus , and had nearly con cluded his performance with them when ho made a false stop , and one ol the tigers caught him by the head and nock , and in loss than five seconds he was torn , to pieces. His jugular vein was out , his oar on the right side completely oaten off , and his bodj was a mass of mangled flesh and bone , The tent was densely packed wltl people , and the ncono that followed 11 is Impossible to describe. The guard and also a few private Individuate commenced firing with revolvers and rifles at the tiger , and soon killed It , thereby enabling the attaches to drag the body of Longol through the com partment. The remaining living tlgoi at once fell upon the dead animal ii of the audience and tore i ito fragments. ' " "Do you go armed into the oagot ? ' "No , sir. Three years ago In St Louli during the night the llom dragged a performing leopard throng ! the ban and devoured It. When ' . went to the cage next morning ( Sun day ) all that remained of the creaton was its head and ono leg. Thn leopard was a pot and good performer which drew the people , and when . ' told Mr. Oolo ho said , 'Well , George can yon do anything with tha ottio leopards ? ' I told him I'd try , am that afternoon I took a green aulma and worked with her for some time nnoas I tired her out , for she cami . . blood . toHl11 h ' was Hobson's choice. How did > , kill her ? " "I struck her on vhead with th butt of my whip. I can km my tine or leopard that way. Did yul Ovo hoar ol an elephant freezing to deal In May ? " "I have never hoard of an elophat dying. " "Well , four years ago wo were g < ing to Denver by way of Pike's Peal and the weather was warm enough fc your shirt alcoves , but two days late it was so cold thatono of my olophanl got frost-bitten , and It was all I coul do to got her to Denver , where st died on May 3 , belfig literally froze to death. " Mr. Oonklin has boon a wild boai trainer for fourteen years , and h body is covered with terrible soar the result of the carouoa more or lei demonstrative of his animals. A though ho hw performed his Hoi thirteen years , ho Bays that the sllgh cat hesitation or f oar displayed by hi would result In a foroclotu attack upc him. Ho rules by fear. "Then I am to nudorttbnd that lion which you have performed f < yearn never haa ur.y aifcition for you "Never or rather Pln&foro , Th < know mo very well and fear mo , bn if they got the bulge on ino , I hardly prceont enough material f the coroner to work on.

So used to their traits and moods have 1 become that I can walk Into a strange don of lions who never saw or smelt mo before. Joe. Whittle , whom I trained up to the business , came to grief and made a meal for 'Frank/ Into whoso month I put my head. " "How was II ? " "Joe was performing Frank and George In rehearsal , and when ho put his head into Frank's month the brute cloeod on him. Instead of keeping still Joe palled his head out tearing all the flesh off his nock and , fnso. Wo called to him to como out , but Jin roi fused , and said ho'd uonquo'r htm 'or die right there. ' Ho then whipped the brute through the drill , and waa about to leave the cage by the trap door , nhon Frank pounced on hla leg and tore most of It off. Ho died , and [ have performed the lions over since. In Pottsvlllp , Pa. , lioness took me by the calf , and I kept still , turned around and beat her with my whip nntll she lot go. Another time I had all the moat clawed off my chest and my shirt bosom .dislocated ; but then eno gets used to those slight inconven iences. " It takes four months to train an elephant , and their breakers give them tfo letaons a day. Two hundred pounds of hay and four bushels of oats , together with a moss of broad and pt > . tatoos , are consumed dally by oaot elephant , A lion takes six months in' coseant labor to bring it Into anbjoc tlon and teach it tricks ; and over then only about ono lion In ton is eno cessfally trained for exhibition. Tc place one's head In the mouth of i lion , tiger , loopird or elephant requires quires reckless and danutlens courage ana even Mr. Conklln admits that th < process is accompanied by docidedlj unpleasant sensations. "Aro lions or tigers ( strongest ? " "Whon about the same size they an equal in strength , and when ono at tacks the other it all depends on ihlcl gets the first grip on his foe's throat they are like bulldogs. I give a lloi fifteen pounds of boot once a day ai his allowance. " "I pick up stray facts once In i while , and the average ages of anl mala might Interest you , " said Conk lin. "A bear lives about 20 years , i dog 10 , a fox 14 , lions from 50 to V ( years , cats 15 years , elephants ' 704 years , nigs 30 years , rhinoceroses 20 horses 30 years , although ono lived t < bo over GO ; camels llvn ICO years whales 1,000 , cows 15 , sheep 10 , rav ona 10G , swana have boon known tc live 800 yeara , and an eagle died a Vienna at the age of 104 years. I you want to get at the height of n elephant phant , all yon have to do Is to take i string and measure twice around Iti foot , whloh gives that animal's altitude tudo tea nicety. " "Have you over any forebodlngi that yon will die in a cage ! " "I never allow myself to think o that. I jnat go in and do my tricl and take my chances , but I take can to keep my eyes upon the eyes of thi animals. There's ono kind of anima I will not perform with , and that is i croBB-eyed ono bo's like the cross eyed woman you moot on the street you can't toll whether she's fllrtinj with you or the man on the other sldi of the street.
