prospecting beyond measure-cattle
and sheep men are enjoying the fruits

THE southern Carnival company is
one of the largest, If not the largest,
carnival company on the road They
carry 300 people and have twenty-five
carloads of parapnernalia, all of which
is the best equipment they can secure.
"l'his is the same carnival company
that attracted so much attention at lei
aso at the mid.winter carnival. and
those who saw the big show at I'll Paso
know that IL was something worth
while. They are only playing large
cities. From Portland they go to Salt
Lake, Leadville, Denver and then

GERONIMO AS A CONVERT.

II may be believed that old Geroni-
mo, the chief of the Apaches, who
has embraced Methodism, was, to EN-.
ploy the phraseology Of the church.
an uncommon bright convert" The
greater the guilt the more inviting
the opportunity for the work OF regen-
Grating grace. As the Sacred Word
holds out the assurance that though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be
white as snow; though they be Ike
crimson. they shall be as WOOL" there
Is no cause to doubt the genuine spir-
tual renewal OF the bloodthlrsty old
savage, who was wont 10 keep Gen
he was In the fash OF his ornate man
hood.
Geronimo has been a hardened and
picturesque old sinner. He has been
tough enough to make the most en-
gaging saint in the whole western
country. When he gets up in the EEK
perience meetings and tells about
how many pale faces he has killed,
how many women he has scalped, and
how many children he has destroyed
he will put the humble convert who
never did anything worse than TO
beat his wife or mother or stay drunk
for year at stretch, out OF bust
ness.
There will be little incentive for
Geronimo to tacksllde Speaking az.
ter the manner Of men, he is pretty
much "ali in" says the Kansas City
Star. and there is ver.' little doing
these days In the massacre line. He
Is old enough to secure a dispensation
for what firewater he may need as a
tonic and the frontier Methodlsts
don't kick on tobacco. Geronimo's
smart play Is TO turn exforter. to
save those sinners who never killeu

frail prop OF their own righteousness
