LIONS AT LARGE.
The Tremendous Riflemen of Leipsig.
PATRIOTIC., story from Leipsig. Eight lions escaped from a travelling circus'. Crowd panic-strickenr One lion dashes into an hotel and goes upstairs. Others wander elsewhere. Consternation reigns supreme. All male Leipsig drops its sausage, tightens its Belt, and prepares to go a-hunting. Now let all the people bow down before the prowess of the Leipsig riflemen! The hunt continued all night, and six lions were killed. To kill the six, three hundred shots were fired. • Then the seventh lion was captured in an hotel, and the eighth was-caught on top of a motor-bus.-But other things had nappened. The hunters who fired • the three hundred shots succeeded in destroying property, to the value of £5000. Lion-hunting in Leipsig is a very expensive business.
