4 young man whose desire 10 be sociable
exceeded bis good judgment visited the W in
ter quarters OF the Great Wallace Shows not
long ago. Ben, one Of the big Bengal tigers OF
the menagerie, was taking his afterdinner
nap. His paw was hanging carelessly out OF
the cage. The visitor, In spirit OF cordiality,
grasped the proffered hand like a candidate
at an old settlers meeting. Ben, who is the
Beau Brommel Of the menagerie. is an exclu'
sive fellow, and he did not appreciate such
unseemly advances. Mr.. Man had not been
introduced and was regarded as a decidedly
presumptuous individual.
Ben rebuked him by reaching out and gath
erng In his back hair; he swat him in the
back OF the neck and delineated thereon q
railroad map. He stabbed holes In h i'm and
did various other pieasantries peculiar to a
tiger. When the man was rescued he remem.
bered that something had happened. He
found himself arrayed In a pair OF shoes, a
necktie and several streaks of gore, but not q
thing else. It took surgeon to sew the rem
nants together. The boys about the menage
rie kept the necktie as a souvenir and hung II
up on Ben's cage.

To see the performance offered by the Great
Wallace Shows is to see the best artists in the
circus profession that money can secure or
long years of experience suggest. is the unl-
versal verdict Of those who have been enabled
to visit this popular place of amusement dur.
ing the past dozen years. And this year, the
fourteenth successful season, the claim is set
up that oil previous records are overshadowed
and program OF high.class novelties is Of
fered that outclasses all competitors. Better
yet this fact seems TO be founded on absolute
facts, as the press notices 10 every city in
cluded in this years tour thus far have been
lavish In their praises. Indeed the universal
verdict has been "the best circus yet seen
here" and when the tremendous strides In
tn Is branch of the amusement business dur
ing recent years is considered, this Is exctp-
tionally strong language. The proof OF the
pudding Is In the eating thereof" is a trIte

Journal-Press, one of the leading Re-
publican papers of Minnesota, hints that
Republicans may also nominate him for
justice of the supreme court. Such a
nomination would be marked tribute
to the worth of Thomas Canty. The ST.
Cloud paper says it is not improbable
that the Republicans will honor Judge
Canty with a place on it's ticket. The
