Unconstitutional American friendship
for England was afforded to pedes-
TRANS and olllerssin the city ut about
\ o'clock one afternoon last week by
q party Of Americans who had just
arrived in England from New York.
The party, consisting of some twenty
.Nell-dressed American gentlemen of
all ages, drove through the city TO
their hotel in a couple of omnibnses,
which were laden inside and out. On
reaching Ludgate hill, some of the
members of the party raised cries de-
noting friendliness for England,
while others waved miniature British
and American flags. Soon a crowd
gathered about them and laughingly
answered their jovial remarks, and as
the party drove off they were followed
by u crowd of people, who at inter-
vnls, raised cheers in response to those
given by the Americans. One of the
party, while waving n little union
jack, asked "How's that for Krueger,"
and some of the others in chorus
wanted to know Whats the matter
with old John Bull?" and answered
the question satisfactorily to them.
selves and their auditors by shouting
with all their might and main, Hes

The Time 10 Keen Mum.

Topeka Mail and Breeze: A frog
who was stuck on his voice was sit
ting under the shade Of a water crcss
and j n this way escaped the eye of a
frog hunter on the shore. Thinking
at last that he had outwittcd the
searcher for frog legs, the %amphibian
inflated his diaphragm and let out a
croak of eXultation that could be
heard for half Il mile. And the frog
hunter. hearing the sound, came
drumming, with his frog net, and
scooped in the croaker before he
could say Jack Robinson in the frog
language. As the frog'sswife saw her
husband scooped into the net she re-
marked, quietly sliding into the water,
IF that husband of mine had brains
in proportion to his belly and lungs,
he would have chpckIed over his good
luck. but he wouldn't have beloved
about it SO that he could be heard all
over the township"
Moral-The wise man never gets IN
on the street orner when luck is COM
ing his way and prcclaims the fact in
u loud voice.

Pearsonss Weekly: Perhaps the

These people are practically indie

have reasons OF her own for letting
them alone. They have practically no
communication with the outside

or three ~timcs--the last time by Major
de Windt on his journey through ST.

The inhabitants of the New Siberian
islands are also practically alone on

with the mninland, and therefore with
the rest of the world, once a year, and

the great Central African forests, II
they can be called aatribe, have also

gendary, and only two expeditions
commanded by white men have ever
penetrated into their abode.

He Secures Control OF Park and
Essir Grounds .Or Five Years.
Last Wednesday the board of direct
ors of the Sioux City Traction COM
pany met i'll Chicago and completed
arrangements with A. B. Beall, man
ager of the Grand opera mouse, Sioux
City, fo- the latter to entire
control and management of Riverside
park and fair grounds for u term of
i've years. The park at Sioux City is
one of the finest in the west, compris-
ing some $50 acres, extending along
the river front and affording unsur-
passed advantages for pleasure and
recreation.
1t is Mr.. Beall's intention to add to
the natural beauty of the place in
every way possible, making it second
to none as Il cool and inviting sum-
mer retreat. Every attraction calcu-
lated to entertain and amuse the pub
lie will be provided. Mr.. Beall's plans
also contemplate popularizing River
side park for conventions, reunions
and picliics from points in the terri
tory surrounding Sioux City, and to
this end special concessions and priv
lies will always be granted for such
occasions, such as the use of the
pretty aerial casino for meetings, adj
dresses, dances and so on.
Mr.. BealIs plans for the fair
grounds are said to be still more i'm
p~ortant and ambitious, although they
have not as yet been perfectly ma
turcd. The race meetings will gain a
new interest under his energetic and
forcefnl management, and it is even
hinted that n big fair and exposition
may be II of the possibilities either
this year or next.
The selection of Mr.. Beall,"
said Mr., j. S.. Lawrence,
who is one of the direct
ors of the traction company, twas en-
t!ircly unanimous by the board, every
one of whom expressed their entire
confidence in him and their unquali-
fled belief i'll his ability to make the
park the splendid success it deserves
to he. Personally, l have viewed the
matter from every side and can think
of no other man SO fitted for the re-
sponsibilities of the place. He has
the experience III amusement enter
prises so necessary in a thing of this
character; he has the ability to plan
every detail, and the executive force
required to carry every good idea to
u successful issue" a.5
