An amusing story comes from Constance. The proprietor of a travelling circus there notified the police that a lion tamer, who is addicted to drink, was < missing. All the cates in the town were' searched in vain. Finally the tamer, whose name is Craber, was found in the cage of a lion and lioness, all three lying together asleep. iStforts by frightened employees to rouse the tamer were met with noisy protests from the trio. Eventually they were permitted to sleep on, while the employees watched the cage nervously, fearing that tbs tamer would be attacked and eaten. After eight hours Graber awoke, patted the lions, walked out of the cage, and went home to his wife for breakfast.
