The Power Of His Eye

When Delmonioo, the negro lion tamer, was asked what influence the human eye had on wild beasts, he replied: "I should say about the same influence the eye of one man has on another," and proceeded to Ilústrate this by a story told of Van Amburgh, the great lion tamer. The latter, on one occasion, while in an American bar room, was asked how he got his wonderful power over animáis. He replied: "It is by my showing theni that I am not in the least afraid of them, by keeping my eyes steadily on theirs. Til give you an exaruple of the power of my eye." Pointing to a loutish fellow who was sitting opposite, Van Amburgh said: "You see that fellow? He's a regular clown. I'U make him come across the room to me, and I won't say a word to him." Sitting down Van Amburgh fixèd his keen, steady eye on the man. Presently the fellow straightened himself, gradually got up, and came across. When he got close enough, he drew back his arm, and struck the tamer a tremendous blow under the chin, knocking him clear over the chair, with the remark: "You stare at me like that again won't you?" - Iron. - Saving the pennies makes million aires, but a little Somerville boy says that he has given up all idea of being a millionaire himself so long as his father keeps up his habit of shaking the bank whenever he wants a tinal cignr.
