But 90 it'll

that a very large proportion of the
women we be here are handsome.
have been wondering Why this il
so, and ! think l have solved it,
Pretty wo1en generally have 9
much easiet time than their less
favored si&ers. A handsome
woman generally knows the power
she wields; dictates terms on all
occasions, and has her own way

Nevertheless, there are some yer
good things. There is little gir
who does some wonderful shootin
at glass balls from a trap. Th
exhibit of craftsmanship which sh

| Buffalo Bill and others also do th
shooting act. The acrobasic pei
formance is the finest have eve

horscmanship by cowboys ridin
bucking ponies, is decidedly inter

building has floor area OF littl
over three acres and cost one hnr

wonderful things 20 be seen here
One thing that attracted my a
