Great Giraffe, and whoever got 'em
could keep 'em. The seats In our cir
Gus were divided into four sections. We
used to give away four dozen tumblers
at every performance, one in each sec
ton. When the time come we'd march
the giraffe around the edge of the ring
and in front of each section his keeper
would hand him wire holder holding
a dozen glasses, which he would take
by the handle in his mouth. Tall as
he was. he could reach easy to the
highest back seats. It's astonishing
how people used to grab for those
glasses. 1t seems as though the whole
section would stand UP on the seats
and grab for the holder when it come
near EN-. They'd spill the water and
get wet, and have the greatest time
you ever heard of, but nobody got hurt,
and so we just let her buzz along But
finally something did happen.
AT one evening entertainment when
he was serving out the souvenirs, when
we come to one of the sections there
was man sitting on the fourth tieI
from the top who picked up his boy
a bright-looking youngster about ten
years old, who was sitting alongside
of him, and sat him on his shoulder
The giraffe lifted his holder up and
swept it along the seats with the people
grabbing, and when it come near this
man with the boy on his shoulder the
man just lifted him up so the boy could
stand on his shoulders. He was going
to get one, anyway, and when the hold
er came along the boy made a grab for
it. There was only one glass left in it
then, but the boy got it. He upset it
lifting it out of the holder. and scat
tered the water all over everybody. but
that didn't count; he got the glass and
was coming down with it, when his

down on his shoulder. felt his weight
growing lighter, and the next minute
he and everybody else saw the boy
suspended in the air. When the giraffe
saw the last glass go he lifted the hold
er, the way he always did, to clear the
people before swinging it around and
down to the keeper. This time when he
lifted it the buttons on the outside Of
the cuff of the boys jacket got caught
in the wires. They were sewed on the
way mothers sew on buttons, and they
held the youngsters weight easily and
when the giraffe lifted the holder up
he lifted the boy with it.
Then there was a scene. We knew
the giraffe wouldn't hurt a fly, but it
looked to the people as though he had
the boy in his teeth, and was going to
sling him through the other end of no.
where. The whole audience rose up
and stood leaning forward, watchin'
and never sayin' boo, but the giraffe
swung his neck around as gentle and
easy as the arm of a crane and lower
ed the holder and the boy hanging to
it safe into the arms of the Keeper in
the ring. The boy hadn't even dropped
the tumbler.
Then the people did holler. and the
giraffe walked off as stately as you
please, the boy climbed back up to his
pop, and the show went on. Nobody was
hurt, but when we run out of the tum-
blers we had on hand we adopted an
other style of souvenir"

by at least $4,000 people. From early
morning until late at night continu-
GUS stream Of bicycles and vehicles of

into Chattanooga were damned by
sightseers from the surrounding coun-
try, and an occasional excursion was
crowded to the doors.
Extra trains were run to the park as
often as possible to accommodate the
throngs anxious to see the bluecoated
United States warriors. The camp
and of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry
all colored troops, attracted the COL
ored people, thousands Of them linger-
ing near the tents all day, laughing
and chatting with the soldiers. The
unloading of troops which arrived late

QUEER RESULT
OF Suit for the Alienation of a
Husbands LOve-NO Offense to
BE Attractive


From the New York Sum-
When wife sues another woman for alien
atlng the affections of the plaintiffs husband
1t is not enough for the plaintiff to show
that her husband left her merely because he
became infatuated with the defendant. The
proof must go further and satisfy the Jury
that the defendant in some manner to
blame for the husbands infatuation before
she can be cast in damages. This rule has
recently been applied by the appellate division
OF the supreme court at Albany in the case
of Whitman VS.. Egbert, where Mr.. Justice
1andon said: Unless the defendant did or
said something with the wrongful and willful
Intent to engage his affections, and thereby
to seduce him from his fidelity to his WIFE
and unless she was successful in this evil
purpose she is not liable. The law imputes
to her no fault because of her attractiveness
nor because she may have been pleased with
the admiration Of the PLAINTIFFS husband"
The proof indicated that the husbands love
for the defendant was in no wise induced by
any act of hers, and that il she had brought
about his alienation from his wife she had
done so innocently. Acting upon this vew
the court set aside a verdict in favor of the
wife as being against the evidence. In SIM
liar case decided in the First department in
December last. Presiding Justice Van Brunt
said of the defendant: The fact that
woman is attractive and submissive is not
sufficient. There must be some evidence from
which the conclusion can be drawn that she
was the pursuer and not the pursued.

Incident Attending the living Out OF
Souvenirs of the Great Giraffe
Boy Suspended IN Midair.
From the New York Sun.
s"Fhe first souvenirs 1 ever knew of
being given out in the show business,
said the old circus man, I'VE gave away
in our show at the time we had the big
eighteen-foot giraffe. We never~had an
attraction that beat the big giraffe. The
people were just carried away with
him. There wasn't anything about him
but interested them, even the slightest
little things. On clear days, when we
were where we could do it and the
sun was right for us, we used to get
the giraffe out in front of the entrance
of the main tent and have him stand
there like a great sentry. People used
to stop and look at him, and then the
first thing you know somebody'd dis
cover his shadder. Anybody'd cast a
long shadder at that hour of the day.
of course, but the giraffe's shadder
reached as far as you could see. And
as soon as one man began to look at
it forty others did, and then you'd see
'em. I've seen a thousand people at
a time line up long that shadder, and
Just stand along the edge of it down
rast the main tent and the sideShow
tents, just standing there lookin' at it.
The giraffe was great, but his shadder
fairly staggered 'em. And there they'd
stand till the sun dropped down under
the edge of the earth, and the first
thing they knew there wasn't any
shadder. Then they'd stare at each
other for a minute, and then all bunch
up together again and look at the gil
raffe till we took him in.
I'VE used to have line on the pro-
gramme saying that at 8 o'clock and at
o'clock the great giraffe would hand
around ice water. That's where the
souvenirs come in. We used to give
away the glasses the water was in. The
glasses were marked, Souvenir Of the

There is the searcher for gold or Jewels;
he lives by sewers. You will see him wait
ing near their openings, a net in hand snap
ping up and selecting from all that comes out
of them.
Sometimes he finds objects of gold or sill
ver which, after many turns of fortune,
come to be lost, or, rather, found there.
Then there is the crow chaser. This is a
little girl or boy, who aids his parents by
gaining three or four cents a day. They set
off early in the morning. and give their SER
vices to the kitchen gardeners in the sub
urbs. Sometimes they go several miles be-
fore arriving at their employers place. Their
work is to stand among the vegetable beds
and chase away the sparrows, crows and other
pilfering birds, by waving a black cloth; it
is a fatiguing task, and we have said above
how they were paid. But the children per-
form their work with zeal. and at nightfall
return on foot to their homes. Sometimes
their employers give them the scraps from

LONDON, April 24.-It is announced
that the Prince Of Wales held coun-
ell yesterday at Marlborough house on
behalf of the queen for the purpose of

British harbors for warlike purposes.
The coahng question will be met by a.
provision that belligerents will be sup
