and its tropical fruits; the State of
Texas. with it's horned frogs and great
j~ack-rabbits almost as large as a dog;
the display of wild animals caught in
tho South All his On6 MANY nthn1s
features which would require a circu-
lar much larger than this to describe,
is only a part of what is shown inside
Of Exposition grounds without any
additional charges. The many features
inside Of the shows, under cover, in
side of the grounds, are wonderful.
The woman who turns into a skeleton
before your very eyes. as it were, Is a
marvel to behold. The woman who
can live under water, eating and drink
ing; the Indians in their ~warpaint;
the Chinese japanese, Turks, and
people from every portion and
try on the globe, will be of interest.

without enjoying any of your labor or
allowing your children any pleasure.
Enjoy it while you live. Go, see the
sights, and go in y Il WI conveyance
and save expense.
THOSE DESIRING TO RENT ROOMS.
Those who DO not wish to sleep in
their wagons can secure rooms furn-
ished with berthS and bedding at fifty
cents per day. as buildings are
specially erected on the grounds for
the purpose.
Those who desire to secure camping
accommodations can write before they
start and make all arrangements, or
they can find the camping grounds by
calling at the gate Of the Exposition
grounds. There will be many people
who will have camping lots, but you
should go only to the main grounds,
where your interest will be especially
looked after. Space for each wagon
or team is rOped off, and has a gate to
close it up, and each enclosure is num-
bered, and no one is allowed to go in
side the enclosure without special per
mission from those who are with the
team.
1t will be best to correspond and get
your number of camping lot or plot,
which is 15X30 feet, assigned to you,
so you will know exactly where to go
on your arrival. All should go pre-
pared to stay two weeks.
Address all communications IN re-
gard to camping lot, or securing quar-
