TALE Or A TWO TAILED CALF.

Partner and TricL,s Tnnt s re Win.

Likewise of "a Hand Organ, II Farm err, n
Partner and Tricks That Are Vain.
Justice Joyce had a case between
warning and impecuniOus museum
managers the other morning. Sew
cral months ago John Smith, a Ger
man farmer fOrty-five wears of age,
living near FredOnia, Kan, had a
calf born on his farm that was some
thing of a curiosity. It had two
heads, four eyes, four ears, two tails
and seven legs. This monstrosity
lived only a few minutes, and was of
no great value as part of herd
But John Smith had another idea.
He had always been content to be a
hard working farmer, but with the
birth of the phenomenon he saw Wis
ions of riches pouring in untoiled for.
So he got a Fredonia man to soak his
calf in alcohol for three weeks and
then he started out to show the
American people the most wonderful
animal ever born in Kansas. He
toured the fairs and made right
smart, he says, and finally got into
Kansas City and prOpped his dead
calf up i'll Main street fake show
There he met William Davis, who
is Snowman of the ten cent order,
but who was Just then broke" and
made a living standing at the door of
the Main street show selling tickets
and calling out the attractions. Mr..
Davis could also do a few tricks, and
the two men decided to take the calf
and the tricks and unite them into
one stupendOus, magnificent mu-
scum. They opened ON West Seven
teenth street A friend was sta
toned at the door TO proclaim the
wonders within and accept silver of
ferings from those who entered while
Mr.. Davis performed his tricks and
Mr.. Smith showed the calf
The first day business was pros
porous. The gate receipts were 81. 95,
but the second day visitors were few.
Then the proprietors put their heads
together and decided that the lack of
music was what hindered their show
from rivaling Barnum's. So Mr..
Smith went uptown and bought
hand organ, giving two dollars and
two watches for it. Contracts were
entered into with neighborhood small
boys to turn the crank and the show
proceeded. But it did not flourish.
No one came. Then Mr.. Davis sent
Mr. Smith off to get colored quar-
tet of singers, which rumor said could
be had cheap, and while the Kansas
Snowman was gone Mr. Davis closed
the show and made off with most of
the goods, including the hand organ.
Mr. Smith had his partner arrested
for stealing. Justice Joyce thought
Mr.. Davis showed an unseemly haste
in taking away the organ without
explaining matters to his partner, and
so fined him twenty-five dollars and
costs. Mr.. Smith has shipped his
four eyed, four cared, two tailed,
double headed, seven legged calf
home and will quit the show busi-
ness. Kansas (itV Star

university, reports that the ven
cradle doctor spoke with much anx-
iety about the tone of modern Eng

anxiety by expressing his belief that
at no distant time the English tongue
would be pre-eminently the language

works of English literature were
worthy Of being ever popular. From
a German, this opinion about the
spread of the English tongue was full
of interest. Leisure Hours.
