The most costly and beautiful Of colors
known TO the ancients was Tyrian pur-
pie. II was so expensive that only royalty
could afford the fabrics dyed with it,
hence the expression, the purple of roy
atty" A pound OF wool colored with
Tyrian purple was worth $50. The co.or
was obtained from kind OF sea-snail, the
exact species not being known now. In
the pure state il was cream-colored
fluid. When this was applied to cloth it
changed first to light green, a blue, and
quality was the hue OF coagulated blood.
Tyrian purple Is believed to have been
the first color which man was able TO
permanently fix on wool or linen.

While there was a desperate effort
made to demonstrate that it was well

there were many of the wilder ele-
ments in the combination who re-
fused to be- tanned. These evidently
got in from the sideshow. The con-
cert after the performance was aban-
doned for good and sufficient reasons.
Various feats of daring were per-
formed. There were artists who
hung suspended in midair without
visible means of support. There were
those who succeeded in riding two
horses simultaneously-and the
prancing steeds were cavorting in
opposite directions. There were two
rings. Juggling constituted one of
the main features. Each ring was
trying to Guido the other. The
performers themselves became inter-
ested and grew dizzy. The audience
sat bewildered. There was dagger
throwing as the most thrilling accom-
plishment in the arena. There were
riderless horses and horseless
riders. A red headed, rather frail
specimen Of human construction DEM

county in the palm of his right hand,
and quid of tobacco in his left

to come up to expectations. A beard

jumped through hoops, and pompous
gladiator from Rock Island held a bar

ment in these counter attractions was
so taken by storm that he looked on
in amazement and quite forgot his
own act and cue. Then came a few
merely passing incidents that were
almost lost sight of in the anticipa-
ton of what was to come. The
tableau was the thing. Here appeared
