FIVE EDUCATED SEALS.
They Play Football, Balarce Sticks
and Perform Many Other Won
derful Tricks.

A seal football team has come to
town. 1t plays at the circus.
Its members also sing, play orches-
trail selections and perform feats of
balancing and sleight of hand-sleight
of snout would be better term-that
would equip any man or boy to earn
living at country fairs.
There are five of these seals, big,
clumsy fellows, so glossy of skin that
when they lie motionless with shouts
pointed to the roof they look like mon
sters in highly vanished mahogany.
Their marvellous feats are one of the
two chief attractions at the circus in
Madison Square garden.
But when they hear the voice of the
trainer, Capt. Woodward, messieurs
the sea lions hasten to show that in
stead of being carved out Of mahogany
they are compound of agility, obedi-
ence and brains.
First they sing, in solo and chorus.
The writer does not wish to dwell upon
this part of their, performance. 1t is
enough that they evidently know what
is required of them, and that they
really sing very well-for seals.
Nor is it necessary to bring Wag-
merriam critics standards to bear upon
the seal orchestra, consisting of bass
drum, snare drum, tuba and French
horn. The zeal of the musicians is
their most admirable trait
In other realms of vaudeville, how
ever, Capt. Woodward's seals can chal-

endowed with hands and feet instead of

THE BEST YOU CAN.
What use to frown when things 20
wrong?

What use to frown when things &C
wrong?
A frown won't set them right.
Be brave Of heart, and sing a song
TO make the burden light.
That this Is true quite believes:
He Is the wisest man
VINO sings when care and trouble come,
And does the best he can.
The man who broods DER trouble finds
His burden heavier grow,
AS he climbs up the hill Of life.
The wise man does not so.
He gathers flowers beside the way:
He says to fellow-man:
Lets make the most of pleasant things
And-dO the best we can
In thinking Of another's need,
We oft forget our own;
So let us think Of others more
Not of ourselves alone.
Keep up brave and cheerful heart,
It's aye the Wisest plan
To sing when care and trouble come,
And-dO the best you can.

George leaped to the fiery banner,

wild cry of ''Fire!" and was conscious
of panic-stricken rush for the door.
