All who have followed through the newspapers the career of Billy Sny der, head keeper in tne uentrai rara menagerie, at New York, probably were not surprised to read that the famous trainer had gone to the Presbyterian hospital to be treated for a severe case of blood poisoning. Neither were they surprised to learn that Billy has declared his intentions of remaining at work while his malady is receiving medical treatment, says the New York Sun. Although Billy himself says he woiild like to take a rest, he cannot do so at this time because of a coming event in the" zebra family. Billy wishes to be on hand when the baby, arrives so that he will be able to give it the right start in the world and to count its stripes. During his long service in the menagerie Snyder has been chewed, clawed and even tossed around by an enraged elephant. Yet in spite of; all attacks by the animals he was; feeding, cleaning and manicuring, he never got discouraged and usually succeeded in winning his point. Snyder has been charged by an en i J i? raged rninoceros, ciawea uy au miurikted lion, struck down by a treacherous elephant and cuffed and pawed by the big bears, but none of these 'assaults has prevented him from going right back for more if by so doing he was performing his duty. Luck is probably not the only ele-v ment that has helped Billy to face the attacks of so many infuriated animals. His own skill, acquired through years of experience and atter careful study of the nature and movements of practically every wild animal, has come in handy more than once. Many times he knew intuitiveiiiof whan q 1ir?n nr a tisrer WUh i.V JUOV, " WVU U. AAVM going to spring, and being forewarned he was able to throw himself to one side. Another element that has widelv figured in his remarkable escapes is Billy's ability to keep a clear head when danger threatens. An inexperiencedv person in the cage1 would undoubtedly lose his sense of direction if the wild occupant were to attack hin\ suddenly. The stranger would forget the location of the exit; but not so with Snyder. In "his devotion to duty Snyder has! been attacked many times. One in- j stance in particular occurred in Oc-j tober, 1912. Snyder went into me, f V v * ) " j/'' J & ; ' fe - : .... & When You We strive to furnisl issary to complete a ing at Hooton's, a ouble and money. ind Suit Department 1 tilled with many new things, t of last week, and the first of show you our line of suits. ;es' 14 to the Ladies' 44, a line f styles and materials, stvles * / / anyone, it matter's not how 1 w difficult to fit, we alter any } you to come and let us show > to please you.

Sworn to this 4th day of October, 1 stall of Old Smiles, the ill-tempered rhinoceros, to give the beast a coating of oil and lampback to keep her skin from cracking. After a rope had been put around the animal's neck and fastened to an iron bar Billy went down a ladder into the stall. Tlie rerractory animai Kepi tugging at the rope. Suddenly it slipped and the angry rhino charged on the keeper. Snyder's coolness came to his aid, for he ran and dodged around the cage with the rhino in pursuit. The animal tried hard to impale him, and despite the fact that another keeper, Bob Horton, grabbed an iron bar and vigorously whacked the rhino every time it came within reaching distance, Old Smiles continued to chase Snyder. Watching his chance, Billy sprang up the ladder, but Old Smiles smashed into it just as Snyder neared the top. With a thud Billy came tumbling on the rhino's broad back, but| I fortunately for him the ladder also toppled down, hitting the animal a resounding whack. This so disconcerted the rhino that she retreated : to the further side of the cage, al-j lowing Billy his chance to squeeze; through the bars to safety. Between that time and the pres-j ent year Snyder has had many nar-! row escapes from the teeth and claws | of the animals. Last April, however, j he received an especially bad scarej when he went to the local zoo to su-^ t i . . \ ' - . .V ..

He went into the den % of a young lion named Bismarck 1 armed with a canvass bag which he intended to throw over the head of the king of the forest. The lion was not disposed to have his head covered, however, for he jumped about the cage and ducked at each throw. Snyder had his mind made up that he would carry out his part of the ' > " rii 1- c x 1 iraae or msmarcK lor iwu uear t-uus an elk and 300 pounds of sheep's fleece which the Brooklyn authori- / ' J ties promised to give lor the lion, so he made one more desperate attempt to get the bag over the animal's head. He advanced closer and made a throw at the Hon, which cunningly ducked. In doing so he bumped into Billy and his claws struck the ' i' 'J keeper on the right leg, tearing off the overalls and trousers and scraping some of the skin. Even this did not daunt Billy, for on the next throw he succeeded in getting the bag over Bismarck's head. When this was accomplished it was an easy matter to remove tire lion from his cage, and in a short time he was on his way to the menagerie in Prospect park. It must not be presumed, however, that Billy spends most of his time escaping from wild animals. He is a good animal trainer, and has taught some of the wild animals . . tricks which are bound to prove interesting and amusing to spectators. v-smb % x M
