Sitting before the burning embers
of lne fire last evening, thinking over

people. There APPEARS to be some OBJ
ipct hat excitcs lheirattrnti0n. Yes,
the picture grows brighter now.
There is a pla form and IN it are tig-
ureS OF men and there appears 10 be
two crowds, one on he north and the
other on the south side Of the plat
form. As the light grows brighter,
there are two figures on the nlatlOrm.
One # them carries a banner and ap-

the light, till l can see the religious
zeal and inSpiral ion that shines forth
from the face If the standard bearer
The wind lifts the fluids If his banner
and as 1t floats out upon the breeze, |
can read the words pmhlaZOned upon
its ample folds: Down with the

closer. There appears tn he two
crowds on the north side close to the
stand. The light shines hrght'r

figures on the platform. ALI how

at the other figure On The platform!
What mOnslrnsity is this? Can he b.

nothing human was born of woman
like unto it. And yet there il stands.
apparently a double man, with a face
to the north and one to the south.
The mau with the standard appears
tD be talking to the crowd On the
north side. How l wish could hear
him palmer. | seem to press nearer
and now | catch his vuice. How plain
and familiar it sounds as | catch the
opening sentences.
Ladies and Gentlemen, have the
honor of presenting to you not only
the greatest curiosity of the age but
also Of all the ages that are past and
gone. Talk to me ladies an1 gentle
men of the miracles Of Ulden times,
of Daniel in the lions den, of Samp-
son pulling dOwn the walls Ct The
temple. Ladies and gentlemen, they
were undoubtedly great men 10 their
day and age, but strictly speaking
they are not in it compared with
what We now have the pleasure of ex-
hibiting before you. We have here
the only double faced man the world
has ever produced. He has two per-
tectly formed faces with eyes. mouth
and ears. He has also, ladies and
gentlemen, two distinct and separate
brain cells, two distinct voices; in
fact, all the bodily functions of two
men joined iu one. He has also two
distinct and separate characters.
This side of him that | now present
you, has always shrwn great love
for cold water. You VIII observe
that his bump Of morality and sobriety
are very prominent. l have been at
great expense and trouble to procure
this subject but the emergency of the
occasion demanded it.
While he will now talk to you on
tho north side l wish to devote few
minutes to my friends on the south
side Of the platform: Gentlemen, l
have now the pleasure of introducing
to you the only man who could stand
on the platform l have built for the
