ANIMAL COMEDIANS.
Ringing Bros. Create q Sensation
with the Lockhart Elephants.

-
Ringing Bros. Create q Sensation
with the Lockhart Elephants.
The announcement that Lockhart's
famous comedy elephants have been
secured by the noted Ringing Bros.
for their Worlds greatest shows this
season, has created a sensation through.
out b United States. The Lockhart
comedy elephants are universally ac-
knowledged to be the most marvelously
trained animal actors in the world. In
Europe, where they have recently been
delighting vast continental audiences,
they. created a veritable furore and ex.
cited more widespread interest than
any arenic feature ever presented, even
in the far. famed circuses OF Paris,
Berlin and St. Petersburg. These
elephant comedians distinctly depart
from the old familiar order OF elephant
performances. They are not simply
TRAINED animals;" they are veritable
animal actors, displaying as much
good sense and Judgment, as great an
appreciation Of the humor of their sew.
eral roles and as sincere q desire to
please aud entertain the public as any
performer in the great exhibition.
Their work is distinctly unconventional.
They present none of the stereotyped
tricks that constant repetition has
familiarized with the public, but give a
performance that is at once new.
startling and unique. Imagine a
troupe of elephants, each attired in a
costume betting the character it por-
trays, presenting a complete comedy.
The statement seems beyond belief,
and yet is absolutely true. Perhaps
the most amusing comedy presented by
these elephant actors is one portraying
the arrest, trial, conviction and incar-
ceration of an elephant for intoxica.
ton. The spectacle of the clown
elephant, rolling from side to side, ap.
parently in the last stages of drunken
spree, is ludicrous in the extreme. In
the midst of his revelry, the policeman
arrives, armed capa.pie with a huge
official helmet and Yauntily twirling a
club in his trunk. The offending
elephant attempts to escape but the
policeman is too quick for him. The
offender is seized by the ear, marched |
away to the magistrates office, |
solemnly tried and sentenced by an
elephant Judge sitting in his judicial
dignity upon his judicial bench, and
finally hurried away, a condemned
prisoner, to suffer durance in the
elephant Jail. In addition to the sew.
eral comedies presented by the Lock.
hart elephant comedians, these won
derful animal entertainers dance,
march, perform the most difficult and
military m%aneuvers, play
upon musical instruments, present
complete pantomimes, and betray num-
berless other evidences of their mar
velously educated Intelligence, AL
though they can give an entire per.
these wonderful elephant
actors constitute only n of hundreds
OF superb features only to be seen
with Ringing Bros. famous exhibition,
which comes in all its magnificent
completeness to Red Cloud, Thursday,

Odd Varieties of Matches.

Among the odd varieties of matches
now in vogue are the "vestas," of which
the splint is waxed cord; "fusees"
for lighting in wind, with short,
thick stick tipped with large mass of
chlorate of potash composition. and
natural gas" matches, with very long
splint for lighting natural gas fires.
In former days the manufacture of
phosphorus matches was attended with
great danger to the workmen from the
fumes, which caused decay of the
bones of the jaw. Many persons were
poisoned from carelessness in hand
ling them, and numerous confagrations
occurred on account of the ease with
which they were ignited. The "parlor
match had it's origin with the manu-
facture. in 1913, OF Schrotter's amor
phous PHOSPHORUS. This product has
neither odor nor taste. is not poisonous
and does not take fire at ordinary tenn
perAures.
