A Novel Suggestion.
Special Officer Rsyner, of the Il. q,
suggests for feature of she carnival
an Inter- rational baby show. His idea
10 70 have an exhibition OF the little
dsrlinRs for premiums that will include
the American tootsie wootsie. the Mex
lean nino, the Indian pspoose and the
Negro picaninny. Let them com pete
IL q bunch for Size, weight, or any
specification. and then each race or
nationality may have an exhibition to
itself for beauty, good nature or any
quality that is desired. IL would be q
great attraction and probably be the
cause of msnv attending who would
not attend for Any other reason. 1t
would certainly be the cause of an 10
GREASE OF interest in the carnival on
and nation slities in the southwest.
