vast shows. There is not a great deal
of opportunity offered elsewhere for a
practical study of animal life. The re-
altions Of the wild ann male of the
wo. Id 90 mankind are but little under
stood. The marvels of creation are
and diversified forms of animate ex-
istence, as exemplified in wild and un-
tanned and untamable beasts. Scarce
ly any idea of the great cardinal prin-
ciple of progress in animal life evo-
luton may be had without knowledge
of wild animals. The wise men of the
wo Id know this fact, and In order to
make such knowledge available, as well
as to entertain and amuse. have este b.
lishod in the la ger cities of the wol d
geological gardens. But they are enor-
mously expensive institut ons and only
the wealthiest communities can afford
them.
It is because these great shows make
one of the many features of their ex.
hibitions a menagerie that is complete
in every particular that they are of in
calcuable actical benefit to any and
every commun ty they visit. Years of
study of zoology IN books Is not so ef-
fective as an hour spent in this me-
nagegie. And when during this hour
one may be amused by the antics of
the monkeys, marvel at the strange
creatures of odd shapes and savage
d.spos ton. and at the same time be
entertained by the music of a magnifi-
cent military band. an hour of diver
sion and study Is supplied that can be
had nowhere else.
1t is for this reason that the doors
of the shows opened an hour be-
fore the beginning OF the arenic per-
formance. 1t is really a duty to get TO
the shows early enough to allow the
ch ldren ample time to see all the am
male ard an hour is none too long for
hasty inspection of them all.

An Editor Plies the Lash

Louisville, May 15.-In a scathing
editorial in the Courier journal. Henry
Watterson denounces the methods and
men employed by w. r. Hearst to OBJ
tain the votes of the Kentucky dele
gates to the St. Louis convention. Wat
terson declares his belief that hearst
is insane. He says:
"Of Hearst himself the Courier-Jour-
nal desires TO speak, ana has from the
fiji st spoken in terms or personal kind
ness. There are some reasons why we
prefer to hold him in friendly regard:
none why we should not. That he is
an insane man ought by this time to
be clear 10 all who have watched the
course of his truly insane campaign.
Two million dollars is a good sum
even to the Hearst estate. though cny
one with an occasional gleam Of SAN
ity ought to know that under the con-
ditions which face Hearst 5000. 900. 900
would not suffice.
And so it is that we unheasitatingly
declare il our fixed belief that the ex-
planaton OF a spectacle so astounding,
so evoliing that Hearst is mentally un-
balanced and not wholly responsible Tor
what would otherwise be the most gi-
gantic fake-not even excepting the ar
fair Humbert-of modern times In THIS
