ishing Act with WaIlace's Circus.
Wallaces circus has for years been a very
attractive feature with that show. and it
will be more so this year. The agent says:
ITO any one who has seen the seals in
their native haunts or on the cliff rocks at
San Francisco. the capturing alive of the
unshapely things would seem difficult and
their training would seem impossible. How
would the reader train a seal? Not one

even suggest the first practicable step re-

seals 1t matters but little. as there is one

Last winter Mr.. Winston appeared with
his seals in the City of Mexico for several
weeks. This fact is compliment not ap-

In the hurry of my thoughts l had
forgotten what Donald had said about

shocking and surprising feature of the

to believe that this man who for thirty
years had served me faithfully would

He had always seemed to be devoted
to my interests. he had run to me with
all his troubles, he had found me his
friend in the many difficulties into

those men whose business judgment is

Story of an Animal That Has Mors

Than Its share.
Only those who are unfamiliar with
animals doubt that they have sense
or humor. Jimmy is a lively road

very original conceptions of what is
amusing. One day the children had
erected small tent on the lawn and
sat within 1t drinking lemonade and
playing that they We're banditti. jim

tent and slowly inserted his nose
through convenient slit, says Our
Dumb Animals. Eyes and ears fol-
lowed and, his head once within Mt the
back of the unsuspicious jewellers, jim
my gave one tremendous sneeze of that
kind which is half snort.
The banditi fell back in every direc-
ton, and the horse, withdrawing from
the tent, laughed silently to himself be-
fore going back to his grass cropping
Jimmy's favorite amusement Is that Of
scattering flock of sheep. When he is
feeding with them In the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashes
among them, sending them scudding
over the hillside. Then he stands watch
ing them until they again settle to their
nibbling and after short luncheon of
his own repeats the pleasing diversion.
Although this horse Is the gentlest crea-
ture in the world, 1t pleases him ex-
ceedingly to frighten any one who has
shown timidity in his presence.
Jimmy's two mistresses harness him
without trouble or danger, but he de

visits mt the house. Sundry tidgetings
and nervous starts of her own We're
enough to show Jimmy of what man
ner and temperament she was. and he

that knowledge. If she enters the sta

ness in the most docile manner, he

row of teeth. and makes feint of snap
