NEWS THE CITY.
SELLS BROTHERS. BIG CIRCUS.

SOMETHING ABOUT TIE BIG CIRCUS.
In the circus proper there are
200 first-class star performers,gi
ing unequalled performances in
four great circus rings, six acts at
one time, occupying, simultane-
ously, the earth, air and saddle.
Foremost among these artists may
be mentioned VIM. Sells, the
worlds champion bareback rider;
M!le Adelaide Cordona, the fe-
male champion bareback artistic;
Miss Ada Purvis, Miss Mildred
Gardner, Senor Don Jere. Bell,
Mr.. Frank II. Gardner, and sever
eral other bareback celebrities, the
greatest of the great. Mile Ma
retta, the queen of the flying rings;
the Stirk family, Europe's great
est bicyclists, and nearly 200 9TH
er artists of nearly equal note,
from the most celebrated arenas
of Europe and America.
The Sells shows are ten times
larger, ten times greater and ten
times better than any other show
you have ever seen. 1t would re-
quire twelve hours time for one
ring circrs to give the same num-
Der Of acts to be seen at the great
tour-ring show. The big quadru-
pie has more first-class artists
than some shows have people all
told, more elephants than some
shows have horses, more camels
than some shows have horses, and
It's wonderful city of tents is as
large as twenty old-time circuses.
1t is coming on its own great
trains of cars, drawn by its own
powerful locomotives, and the Big
Show will surely unfold it's world
of wonderland at Dawson on
Tuesday, November 18th. Don't
fail to see it.

One of the requisites of good salesman
ss knowing just what TO say, and when to
Say 1t, to customers who are undecided and
hardly know what they want, and to whom
word spoken at the right time is sufficient
very often to effect sale. Sometimes how.
ever, statesmen with the desire of assisting
hesitating customer, says things which have
The opposite effect from that intended, as
the following anecdote will show:
A gentleman who was several years
younger than his wife, and who was besides
small and rather boyish In appearance, en-
tered dry goods store in one of our towns
with his wife and requested to be shown
some carpets. The proprietor himself, to
whom, as it happened, they were unknown,
waited on them. He showed them very pc.
htely his extensive stock Of carpets, and OK
hibited with great pains their beauty and
excellence Of quality. The gentleman and
his wife both seemed somewhat undecided
as to what suited them among the various
patterns displayed, and the proprietor
with the laudnble desire of assisting them
to decide, remarked bhndly to the gen.
tleman, pointing to one Of the carpets, ~
think, sir, this is the carpet your mother
likes"
The gentleman looked little surprised,
bat quickly said, she not my mother, sir,
but my wife,"
The lady said nothing, but il is needless
to add that she did not find any carpet to
suit her, and they left the proprietor, who
felt that he had lost sale by his unfortu-
nate remark, sadder and wiser man. II
there is anything that woman will not
forgive 1t is to be thought older than she is.
