Little Mnnie-lh he Freak

Little M~innie"wno co~niy1ues this
season with FeraIi Bros Great Lon
don Carnival Co. is one of the most
sensational freaks of the present
date. She was captured by three
american sailors Off the coast of
australia, rowing the land and for
ests like a wild beast, and living Off
the fish Of the sea and the birds Of
the forest. 1t is impossible to des-
cribe her features one must gaze
upon this human freak to enjoy the
sensation of seeing one who is hum
an but devoid Of human habits and
ideas. She is evidently thirty-seven
years old. but is no larger than a
nine year old child, and becomes
furious sometimes in her attempt to
catch passing birds. A more won
derful or interesting exhibition Of
the real freak has eve been attemp-
ted by any carnival company, and
Little Minnie is n of the few who
are now allowed to be placed on
exhibition.
She will appear at the Midsummer
Carnival at Sioux Falls, June 29-JuIy

OF It's locomotives for the sole purpose
